The fear of God is designed to be the ultimate desire of man. You were created to align your fear towards God.
It is the fear of God that makes the difference in a person life. The ultimate fear is never the fear of devil, it is never the fear of man, it is the fear of God. Man was created to align his fear towards God. Your act of reverence, adore and worship God prove your fear towards Him. It is the fear of God that place man and still sustains man in the place of dominion. As diaspora on earth, for us to live a successful and fulfilled life, we must have a genuine alignment to total obedient to God’s commandments.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. (Proverbs 9 verses10 JKV)
The fear of God is the beauty of living
In this very episode there is need to pause and have a deeper look on the word fear to extract its essential meaning. God created everything and said they were good. The fear of God was introduced into place by God and that made the whole process and journey of man perfect. Fear at first was designed for a complete yield to God as the Source and Sustainer of man.
Fear was introduced by God to human race as a license to proper positioning. Nothing exist on its own. Every thing existed by purpose for responsibility. Man need close alignment with God Almighty and that brought about the introduction of fear. Man needs not only to see God as his father, but as his source and sustainer. The fear of God is the beauty of living.
There is need for total alignment with God
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. (John 15 verses 4 to 5 KJV)
I can deeply perceive in my spirit that God Almighty in His visit to man at the cool of the evening, and man enjoying such an awesome company with God. God must have explained to man that he should strive never to break their fellowship. I can sensed that man was warned on several occasions never to allow anything come between him and God.
God must have disclosed to man that He is his source and he needs to be able to effectively govern the earth. You may be clashing your head to see if you can believe what I am saying. How come many has heard this very truth from Jesus saying, ‘… for without me you can do nothing.’ yet they fail to realised the importance of abiding to Jesus.
The fear of God was for man to abide to God. Half walk with God means no walk with God. Half fear of God means no fear of God. Dr David Ogbueli declared it this way, “Half obedience equals no obedience.” God demands total fear of man towards Him. The reason for this is simple, man has no virtue of his own. The glory of man of exercising full dominion is on the bases of proper alignment with God which generated as a result of the fear of man towards his Creator Elohim.
Let us seize this moment to quickly look at the word FEAR from God’s very perspective,

F : First

It is the fear of God that keeps us in complete alignment with God, seal our place of dominion and exercising full dominion.
