Rediscovering the Fear of The Lord - Rev. Roland Anang #AgapeMount

In this teaching, Rev. Roland Anang explores the theme “Rediscovering the Fear of the Lord”. Using Isaiah 11:2–3 as the foundation, the message highlights the fear of the Lord as the core delight of Jesus, the entryway to all spiritual graces, and the foundation of godly character. Through biblical examples—Christ, Joseph, and Job—the message emphasises that the fear of the Lord is not merely an emotion but a lifestyle, a spirit, a treasure, and a measure of spiritual maturity. The speaker challenges believers to examine what they truly delight in and calls the church back to reverence, honour, and holy living.

Main Scripture

Isaiah 11:2–3

• The Spirit of the Lord

• Wisdom

• Understanding

• Counsel

• Might

• Knowledge

• Fear of the Lord

• “His delight is in the fear of the Lord…”

Key Points 1. The Fear of the Lord Was Christ’s Delight

• Jesus didn’t delight primarily in power, wisdom, or understanding.

• His delight was in the fear of the Lord.

• This is what made Him stand out in character, obedience, and endurance—even knowing betrayal, pain, and humiliation ahead of time.

2. The Fear of the Lord Is the Foundation

• It is the substructure—the foundation upon which all the other spirits (wisdom, counsel, power, knowledge) rest.

• Without the fear of the Lord, none of the other spiritual graces can genuinely operate in a believer’s life.

3. The Fear of the Lord Is God’s “Treasure”

• Isaiah calls it a “treasure”.

• When you gain a person’s treasure, you gain access to everything connected to them.

• If you gain the fear of the Lord, you gain deeper access to God Himself.

4. What You Fear Becomes Your Master

• Many people fear:

  • Man

  • Money

  • Accidents

  • Flying

  • Their spouse

  • Their hometown

• But only the fear of the Lord leads to life, stability, and divine favour
