TOPIC : THE POWER OF PURITY
TEXT JOB 2:6-11
[6]Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
[7]And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
[8]And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
[9]Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
[10]Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
[11]But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job went through very horrifying situations.
He was brought to ground zero in everything.
What Job did not know was that there was a council meeting in Heaven where God boasted with him.
It was the boastings of God that implicated Job.
Life does consist of what you have but who you are.
Can God boast that in that office that even if every other person steals that you will not?
Can God boast that you will keep your body chaste and not throw it at him as a baite for marriage?
Can God trust you that your work in His house is genuine and not eye service?
Can God trust you that if He lifts you, you will remain humble?
Can God make a boast in who you are?
Selah.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
