WALKING IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD

One of the major problems in society today is a lack of the fear of God. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of the fear of God in the church too. It is dwindling among the believers today. The Bible says, ‘There is no fear of God before their eyes’ (Romans 3:18; Psalm 36:1). People do not choose to fear the Lord these days (Pro. 1:29). When we choose to walk in the fear of the Lord, we will be richly blessed (Psalm 112:1-10) and our Continue reading →

BARRENNESS TO FRUITFULNESS

You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.

It has always been God’s desire that mankind should enjoy His blessings. Ephesians 1:3 tells us that the believer in Christ has been “blessed with all spiritual blessings.” How rich we are in Him! Sad to say, many Christians do not “possess their possessions” (Obad. 17) and Continue reading →
