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.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
