JOB MAINTAINED RIGHTEOUSNESS IN RICHES AND SUFFERING

Gods blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study

TOPIC: JOB MAINTAINED RIGHTEOUSNESS IN RICHES AND SUFFERING

TEXT: JOB 1:1-5 

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 2ND

Key verse: “Man that is born of a woman is of a few days and full of troubles”. Job 14: 1 
Faithfulness to God does not guarantee that a person’s life will be free from trouble, pain and suffering. In fact, the Lord Jesus taught us to expect difficulties and challenges in this life. The Bible provides a number of examples of godly people who suffered greatly for a variety of reasons. Among those who suffered much were Joseph, David, Job, Jeremiah, and Paul. Jesus Christ, of course, went through the greatest suffering of all in order to accomplish God’s greatest goal, which is to make spiritual salvation available to all.
The Bible tells the story of Job as a man who was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. Job was said to be greatly blessed with children, possessions like sheep, camels, oxen, asses and a very great household, so that he was the greatest of all the men of the East. With this wealth he still remained humble. He always ensured that his children lived a sanctified life devoid of worldly pollution. God was proud of the exceptional holy life of Job and boasted to Satan about him. God went into a contest with Satan, and allowed him to test Job but not to tamper with his life. 
Satan killed Job’s children, destroyed all his life-stock and further attacked his health with sore boils from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head. In all these afflictions, Job never knew God allowed all these to prove a point to Satan. “In all these did Job not sin with his lips.” His wife asked, “Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse God and die.” His friends too were not helpful. Let’s beware of evil counsel and relationships that can destroy your soul forever. In time of riches and happiness; lack and shame, Job still maintained his righteous and holy lifestyle. Job passed the test. Can you withstand temptations in times of trials? 

Thought for the day: In all things give thanks to God

Song for the day:   I will praise him (3x), forever more… 

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 68-69; Romans 3

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
