JOB'S TESTIMONY-3

Text : Job 1:8.

Then the LORD asked Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on earth. The man is blameless as well as upright. He fears God and keeps away from evil.”

Though Job had a great testimony in the presence of God, yet he was oblivious of this. He did not know what God was doing with his life.

Knowing the testimony that God has about you is very important. This will always keep your head covered in the days of battle. 

Job and his friends were in the dark about God's dealings in the life of Job. At the appearance of the Lord, the very first question He asked  Job in Job 38:2 was  "Who is this that darkens, counsel by words without knowledge?

The ways and dealings of God on earth is past findings. He is not answerable to anyone. He owes no one. 

In Job 33:13, Elihu says, "Why do you contend with Him(God)? For He does not give an accounting of any of His words.

You must be very cautious never to tarnish or behave contrary to God's testimony about you.* Imagine God had told Job about the ordeal he was going through,he would simply have kept his mouth shut.  He wouldn't have replied the allegations and accusations of his friends.

It was rather quite unfortunate that Job was never in the know. He never sought to know the mind of God. He was only defending Himself.

Are you being confronted with any challenge today?

Are you being pressed by the enemy? 

Are you going through any unpalatable situation?

Are you finding it difficult to arrange the puzzle of life you are in now? 

Then, it is time to focus on Jesus. Seek to know His mind. But be rest assured that regardless of your situation, His thoughts towards you are good and never evil.

Bible Reading :Job 32:1-22.

PRAYER FOCUS

Father God, help me to know your mind concerning me and concerning the situation I'm going through that I may apply my heart to wisdom.

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
