The fear of the Lord delivers one from danger and destruction. When you honor God’s word, your obedience will keep you from doing things that can destroy you and forfeit your future. I remember when I was a child, my mother told me not to touch the iron, so what did I do? I touched the iron. That taught me a decent respect for the iron. When God instructs us not to do something, it’s not to keep us from doing things; it’s to keep us from harm. His laws will literally prolong our days. The wicked don’t fear God, so they do whatever they want, even when the scriptures instruct them to stay away from sinful actions. The result is that they fall into harmful habits and activities that destroy them. King David said that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:7)!

Proverbs 10:27 – The fear of the Lord prolongs days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened.

Remember Joseph – his gifts fed the nations,

Remember Moses – his gifts delivered a nation,

Remember David – his gifts slew the giant,

Remember Samson – his gifts defeated the Philistines,

Remember Andrew – his gifts connected Peter with Jesus,

Remember Barnabas – his gifts connected Saul of Tarsus with the rest of the apostles,

Remember the little boy with the two fish and five loaves – his gift fed the multitudes,

Remember Paul – his gifts help him to write two thirds of the New Testament,

Remember Jesus – His gift brought salvation to the world.

What will you do with your gift?

1 Peter 4:10 – As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

This will literally prolong your years!

Your gift/anointing will bring great blessing to your community!
