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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
