  ”To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.“ Proverbs‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ If every word that led to the path of bread was considered wise, Jesus would have fallen into the temptation of Satan in His moment of need. ” Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’ ”“ (‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬-‭4‬).

Whereas, the sincere fear of the LORD, not just the knowledge of His Word, is the beginning of knowledge, wisdom and underst...

Knowledge is power, but it can be prevented from flowing out by those who succeed in gaining control over its publication. Various mechanisms exist and have been explored to protect this human intellectual property. This is often fair in order to ensure a commensurate return of investment in intellectual capacity development. Unlike human being, God is willing to freely disclose his wealth of knowledge without requesting the execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement. However, divine partnership requires nothing more than the fear of the Lord. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge". The fear of others (e.g., vengeance of man, losing job, losing position, property destruction, falling health, etc) cannot co-exist with the fear of the Lord; it is rather an expression of faithlessness. The secret of the Lord belongs to those who will not be terrified by anything or anyone that seeks to usurp or disregard the Omnipotent declarations of God for their lives, homes, and b...
