JOB'S TESTIMONY-2

-

Text :Job 38:2 

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

When the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. It was at this time, the Lord testified about Job as His servant; a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and shuns evil, and still he holds fast his integrity in the face of great challenge.

Though Job never sinned against God all through the time of his ordeals, yet He couldn't see the workings of God in his life at this time

Job's case can be likened to many of God's children today; they are oblivious of God's workings in their lives. Perhaps that's your own case as well. But the LORD would have you trust in His judgement above all else. 

You must settle it in your heart that God's   thoughts towards you are thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah  29:11.

Job's friends accused him that his trials was as a result of  his sin, but he consistently and blatantly refused their allegations; proving his righteousness before the Lord. Job's major shortfall in all of his challenges was that he continuously justify himself rather than God. (Job 32:2).

When you are confronted with any situation that is beyond your comprehension, the first thing you must come to terms with, is that God is ALWAYS righteous. You must know that there is no wickedness and iniquity in God. 

This understanding will always place you in a vantage point to receive help from the Lord. Devil often lie to you that God is not good or fair to you. Devil tells you, "If God is good to you, why are you going through this problem?"  Devil tells you, "God loves your  neighbour more than you" All these and more are lies of the devil, please do not buy it.

God is a good and  righteous God. He is good and His mercy endures forever.

Romans 10:12&13 shows that our God is not a partial God.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.


Bible Reading: Job 32:1-22.


PRAYER FOCUS

Father God, increase and enlighten my sense of  judgement in you in Jesus name.

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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
