AND GOD RESTORED HIM FAR MORE

Post date: Mar 14, 2016 9:37:45 PM

There are some things that do not and will never change even as our lives and situation changes. One of such things which I am very thankful for is the love of God for His children, His grace to lift us up and enable us to be what He had said and destined, and who He is in all things and in all situations. Your God is unchanging, ever loving and ever mindful of you. You are someone that God cherishes above all your situations combined/ He never withdraws and never looks back and He will never regret saving, sustaining, and defending your life. In the beginning of Job we saw how God loved him, how God blessed him and sustained his business and family and we also saw how the devil came in to destroy his family, his business, kill all his children, afflicted him with sickness and made him very poor and homeless, but despite what the devil did to Job, God did not withdraw His love from him because of that; did not forsake Job because he was now sick, poor, homeless, penniless and had lost everything in live. These are good reason that men will change their mind concerning you, but God will never for any reason. God kept Job through his time of pains, his time of sickness, his time of loneliness, his time of joblessness, his time of homelessness, and throughout the period that friends, foes and family left and refused to offer any helping hand to him. They left him at a time he needed them most, but God was there to look after him and at the end, He restored Him. Remember, God did not restore Job to what he was before, but far much more than what he was.

You will survive all adversities; you will stand up again through grace and see the blessings of your life, marriage, family, children and business: you will experience the change that guarantee joy, hope and purpose in the future: you will see expectations fulfilled, dreams and visions come true: you will have answer to your prayers and you will see the restoration that is beyond the best knowledge and understanding of those around you who never wish you well, who never give you a chance, who never believed good things will ever happen to you and who never considered in any way to give you a helping hand in your time of affliction. Because God is on the throne and you are His own, because he had taken you as the apple of His eye that He will never let loss and never allowed to be destroyed by adversities, He will restore and bless your life. We did God restore Job much more in everything? It was because Job refused to give up on God even when family, friends, helpers and all associates gave up on him and situations turn around against him in all fronts in a very bad way. It was because God had him as the apple of His eye and kept His eyes on him all through; it was because God will not and did not change because the devil was working against him. The God of Job will restore you much more than people think and say.

“Hear the just cause, O Lord; listen to my loud cry; listen to my prayer that comes from guileless lips. Let my verdict of vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes look with equity and behold things that are just. You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tested me and You find nothing evil in me; I intend that my mouth will not transgress. Concerning the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept away from the paths of the violent. My steps have held closely to Your paths; my feet have not staggered. I have called upon You, for You, O God, will answer me; incline Your ear to me, hear my speech. Wondrously show Your marvelous and amazing loving-kindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand from those who rise up against them. Keep me in Your affectionate care, protect me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the protective shadow of Your wings from the wicked who despoil and deal violently with me, my deadly enemies who surround me. They have closed their unfeeling heart to kindness and compassion; with their mouths they speak proudly and make presumptuous claims. They track us down and have now surrounded us in our steps; they set their eyes to force us to the ground.” Psalm 17:1-11. Click here for prayer
