TRUST 2

Text :Job  13:15.

 *Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.* 

Today  we shall be looking at Job's resolution in the face of his predicament.

Job made up his mind to do two things even if God slay(kill) him:

1. He will yet trust in Him.

2. He will yet 
maintain his own ways before the Lord.

By this two profound statements, Job demonstrated his highest level of trust and commitment towards God. He also resolved never to be offended with God, but to maintain his own ways before the Lord.

 *When you find yourself in a predicaments, all you need do is trust in the Lord, rather than being offended with people around you or with God.* 

Though the main problem (trial) of Job was initiated by the devil, yet he did not arrogate his predicament to anyone. Job knew too well that nothing happens without God's consent.
In the same vein, the best way to deal with all oppositions, predicaments, challenges and temptation is to know that nothing happens to a true child of God without God's knowledge. (Lamentation 3:37). When you arm yourself with this knowledge, it helps you take a position with God, and as you do, God becomes your avenger. (Rom 12:19).

As you align yourself with God in full Trust in Him, He avenges you. He will show up for you. He will fight your battles. 

May you find grace to TRUST in the Lord again. 

 
Bible Reading : Daniel 3:16-18.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, give me grace and strength not to be offended in you.

2. Father, help me to trust you though I may not understand what you are taking me through.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
