True faith is not abstract; it has hands and feet.

Proverbs 14:31 says, “Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.”

Jeremiah 22:16 speaks of King Josiah: “He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me? declares the Lord.”

When we bring these two verses together, they show us that honoring and serving God is not merely about rituals, prayers, or religious words—it is demonstrated in how we treat people, especially the poor and vulnerable.

To oppress, ignore, or neglect the poor is to despise the very God who created them. But to extend kindness, generosity, and justice to them is to honor God directly.

In fact, God Himself equates caring for the poor with truly knowing Him. Jeremiah says Josiah’s defense of the poor was evidence that he genuinely knew God.

This means true faith is not abstract; it has hands and feet. Our worship becomes practical when we defend the weak, provide for the needy, and treat the marginalized with dignity. Serving the poor is not charity—it is service to God. It is honoring the Creator by honoring His image in the least of these.

So, those who honor and serve God are those whose compassion overflows in action: feeding the hungry, defending the oppressed, lifting the broken, and ensuring justice. That’s how God defines knowing Him, and that’s how He receives our honor.

Let’s explore what might happen in the first 24 hours after a verifiable miracle of resurrection occurs.

🕒 Hour 0: The Resurrection Itself
* A person, confirmed dead (e.g., autopsied, buried, embalmed, or medically brain-dead), is suddenly alive again—publicly and undeniably.
* It’s filmed or witnessed live by credible sources—news outlets, scientists, medical professionals, or a large crowd.
* Social media explodes within minutes: hashtags trend worldwide, livestreams go viral, and initial reactions range from:
* Shock and disbelief
* Claims of a hoax or deepfake
* Religious fervor: “The Messiah has returned!” / “Prophecy fulfilled!”

🕒 Hour 1–3: Media Frenzy
* Every major news outlet switches to 24/7 coverage.
* The person resurrected becomes the most watched human on Earth.
* Journalists swarm the scene. Medical experts, theologians, and scientists are pulled into interviews.

🕒 Hour 3–6: Authority Response
* Governments intervene:
* Local authorities attempt to secure the person.
* Intelligence agencies investigate (FBI, MI6, Mossad, etc.).
* Some countries may label the event a “national security issue.”

* New fringe movements begin to form—“Followers of the Risen,” “New Prophets,” etc.
* Millions begin re-evaluating their beliefs or fearing what comes next.

🕒 Hour 18–24: Global Tension and Reflection
* Some people fall into existential dread; others rejoice.
* Protests and celebrations erupt around the world.

Genesis 15:6 is often misunderstood.

To fully grasp its meaning, it's essential to consider the context of the dialogue between Abraham and God in Genesis 15:1–5.

In that passage, Abraham expresses his concern to God: despite all the blessings he has received, he remains childless, and a servant in his household stands to inherit everything.

In response, God—who is righteous and just—reassures Abraham with a promise: he will have a son of his own, and his descendants will be as numerous as the stars.

Abraham, a faithful servant of God, accepted this promise. He believed what God said and recognized the promise as a reflection of God's righteousness.

Genesis 15:6 then states that Abraham "believed the Lord, and he (Abraham ) credited it to Him (God) as righteousness."

This means that Abraham gave God credit for the righteous promise. Counted it to God as a righteous deed (righteousness)

The fear of the LORD (Part 1)

Hear something remarkable about the biblical patriarch, Job. Job 1:1 says “There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and abstained from evil”

This first verse described who the man Job is. He is a man who fears God!. The next verse tells us about the benefits of the fear of LORD. God gave Job a family, God gave him riches and God gave him entitlements. Let’s hear what the next 2 verses say,

Verse 2 and 3 says “Job had seven sons and three daughters. and he owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and a very large number of servants. Job was the greatest man of all the people of the East”.

According to these 2 verses, Job was the greatest or the richest man of all the people who live in the East. This could have been the East of a country, or the East of a continent or East of the whole Earth . It also says, Job had a very large number of servants; in modern speaking, he has a great workforce under his employment.

Friends, the biblical Patriarch Job became extremely wealthy because he had the fear of the LORD. The fear of the LORD is the greatest possession anyone can acquire. Job didn’t become wealthy because he was a great entrepreneur. Job became very wealthy because he had the fear of the LORD.

Hear the exchange between Satan and God in verse 8 to 10 of Job chapter 1.

It says “Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.” Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land”.

Even Satan understands that God repays those who fear Him. Friends, in subsequent parts i will explain to you from the wisdom literature of the book of job, Psalms, and Proverbs; how the fear of the LORD benefits those who have it. In these parts I will be telling you what the fear of the LORD is, so you can become blessed like those who possess it.

Stay tuned for part 2.

God bless you!
