MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
The names that God’s people call Him in the Bible speak a lot about God: His likes, dislikes and His ways. Jacob, in his encounter with the pursuing Laban, made it known that the Fear of Isaac was his defense. Why would Jacob refer to Jehovah as the Fear of Isaac? It is because Isaac, from a very tender age, must have learnt to fear Jehovah. He was about 12 years old (Abraham 112 years old) when they went to Mount Moriah for that sacrifice that Isaac would have been the sacrificial lamb, in obedience to God. We do not read that Isaac struggled with his father as he tied him up on that altar- he would have overpowered the very old man if he had struggled. However, he must have seen the ram that God provided as his substitute for the sacrifice and we can only imagine how he must have been overwhelmed by the awesomeness of his father’s God (Jehovah Jireh). We can then conclude that in addition to obedience and regular fellowship with God, Isaac also inherited trust from his father. After that Mount Moriah experience, Isaac must have developed a deep respect for Jehovah in all that he did.

Demonstrating the fear of God is not being afraid of Him. Being afraid is exclusively reserved for those who do not have Jesus. Deuteronomy. 10:10-12 says fearing God it is walking in His ways, serving Him with all the heart and soul, loving Him and obeying all His laws. This leads to the proper mindset about God that empowers to move with God in love and dedication. Luke 1:50 says that the fear of God is the guarantee for God’s mercy that will be on a person for his generations to come. No wonder unbelievers are amazed when they see how Christians do not fear the unknown. Prov.9:10 says that the fear of God (deep reverence and respect for God) is the beginning of wisdom.
Beloved, in your life, ministry and service to the Saviour, have the Fear of Isaac as your God. Surrender totally to Him, seek Him daily and endeavour to know Him intimately. He will put you in His secret place and you will never be afraid in your life. Like Jacob, your oppressors and stubborn pursuers will always be rendered impotent.
