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 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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
