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. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
