Many people might not understand when the word of God says that the fearful will not inherit the Kingdom of God. What does the Bible mean when it says “the fearful”?
Many people are living a fearful life. The fearful that the Bible is talking about is not that of being afraid of the lion, snake, dogs, syringe in the hospital, armed robber, or accident. No. Anybody can be afraid of any of these things listed, and still be a very good friend or of God.
The fearful habit that God hates is the one that makes somebody to take steps, decisions or actions that are against the will and plan of God for your life or in any situation. That thing that makes you to say “Heaven helps those who help themselves” is nothing but a statement born out of fear.j
If you check very well, you will discover that any time a person makes a statement like that, he is about to take a wrong decision, step or action. It is a statement indicating frustration.
That type of statement tells the hearer that the speaker can no longer wait for or depend on God to do certain things for him. Such a person is saying that there are certain things that they want to do without God’s involvement, counsel, consent or will.
Such a person is telling you that he can no longer wait for God’s time, because, to him, God is taking too much time or He may not even do it for him.
Most of the time, it is the fear of poverty, fear of early or untimely death, fear of the perceived enemy, fear of failure, fear of shame and reproach, fear of the unknown, fear of hatred and rejection, fear of delay in marriage, fear of delay in child bearing and the likes.
The other offshoot of fear are doubt and unbelief. Doubt is the forerunners of unbelief. Fear can lead to many wrong things.
So many people have taken their own lives on the altar of suicide because of fear. While some have killed another person, may be a friend because of fear; may be that friend knew some secrets about him which he fears that friend might divulged if left alive. So, he kills him.
Many of the abortions that people carry out are done because of fear – fear of shame and ridicule by friends and colleagues. Fear of how to take care of the baby if born. Fear of the sin partner; maybe he won’t access responsibility for the pregnancy. Fear of parents’ reaction and many more. So, in order to avoid all these, they take laws into their own hands and terminate the innocent baby in the womb. While some prefer to give birth and throw the new born baby away. Some cast them away like faeces. Some throw them into the refuse dump, pit latrine or into the septic tank.
Why would they do this? Because of fear of how they could successfully nurse the baby when they have no money to do so and or they have no one to help them. When they consider their inability to cater for their new born baby, they throw it away like a piece of rag.
If you check out the people who engage in money rituals, you may likely discover that it is because of the fear of poverty. They don’t want to be poor and at the same time, they don’t want to patiently work hard, so that God Himself can make them rich through their genuine hard work. They cannot wait.
To them, waiting for hard work to pay off means suffering and delay. So for fear of suffering for a while, they opt out of God’s plan and for into the waiting hand of Satan for quick blood money. Fear!
Some people too enter into an “arranged” or “fixed” marriage because of the fear of getting married “late” or not marrying at all.
They want to marry because their friends, mates and siblings are getting married while they don’t seem to be that “lucky”. So, for fear of being ridiculed for not getting married like others, they start visiting some strange places to get some strange powers to charm a man or woman to marry them.
Because of fear, many marriages today are not natural. Some are contracted under some strange and ungodly powers and influences. Some use love portion, some charm with rings, or amulets while some plants some charms into food or drinks to capture their partner.
Can such union ever be considered marriage. Or is it not better called “spiritual arrest” or “kidnap”? Fear!
Any marriage union which God does not have His hand in, will not succeed. Sooner or later, that strange power used to charm and capture the man or woman will lose its potency and the victim will regain his or her senses and the outcome would be terrible and disastrous, because the strange union will end suddenly.
In the book of Jeremiah, God asked this question and said: “Behold I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for me? When people begin to do things their own ways, in order to solve their problems, without involving God, they are telling God that He is not able to do it for them.
It is a terrible thing for you to live your life without partnering with God. You will not only meet your day f Dom sooner, but will end it all in the eternal burning hell later.
There are many couples who have brought some strange children into this world because of the origin of such children. When after just one or two years of marriage without any conception, some couples start to lament and cry and, instead of waiting for God’s time with prayers, they start visiting strange places in search of solution.
In their quest for conception and child bearing, they are’given’ demons that will later kill and use them for money rituals. Or, have you not heard or read about men and women who used their parents for money rituals? Check the origin of such people. They can’t be gifts from God, for God’s gifts come with no troubles attached.
Do you know that there are many people today who are witches and wizards but who got into these bondages and yokes they call power because of fear?
Some people, because of intimidation, harassment, and persecution get themselves involved and entangled in the bondage, yoke and wicked acts of these evil associations. At the end of the day, they find it difficult to get out or disentangle themselves from the satanic associations. Such people have covenant with death and except they make haste and renounce such evil associations, eternal death of hell awaits them.
The Bible says “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8).
Anyone reading this blog and finds himself in any of the aforementioned habits that God hates, has a great time to repent today. It is dangerous to see that you are heading for destruction and still shut your eyes and continue going ahead anyway.
Have you told a lie because you are afraid of being punished? You need to speak the truth and repent.
