Post date: Nov 22, 2016 11:26:52 PM

God will never forget that you were washed by the blood of Jesus Christ; He will never forget your salvation; He will never forget He had forgiven your sins; He will never forget your love; He will never forget your uprightness, just, faithfulness, and humility; He will never forget that you fear Him and desires with your whole heart to worship Him in love and truth; He will never forget your struggles to stay alive with Him, struggles to be holy and remain holy; He will never forget that you are still in the world and that the devil is out trying and doing all he could to condemn you and hold you in his captivity and guilt; He will never forget your good deeds, and He will never His promises to you as a person and as a redeemed child of His. Despite all that Satan did to Job, to his business and family, Job did not forget His God and God did not forget him and did not fail to help him at the right time; did not fail to restore him at the right moment, and did not fail to bless Job for the world to see. I want you to remember that your help will definitely come.

Satan did all he could, did all he thought, did all he understood and did all he could ever plan and execute to take Job down as his victim and keep him condemned before God. Satan went after all his children and destroyed them, but God kept Job alive, that same God is keeping you; Satan went after all his businesses, finances, properties, and wealth and succeeded to destroyed all, but God still sustained Job, that same God is sustaining you. Satan went after his marriage and was able to destroy it, but God did not allow him to destroy Job, the devil will not destroy you. Satan used his friends to accuse him that in his pains he might feel guilty for the evil he never committed, yet God protected Job, that same God will protect you. Satan used poverty, sickness, and loneliness to frustrate Job, but Job held on to his God until the day his help came. Your help will definitely come; you will not go through all these in vain. The God of Job who helped him is still alive and He will help you.

The five things God did to help Job were: (1). God deliberately put a hedge around Job to keep him safe from the works and desires of Satan and to keep Satan from taking advantage of his mistakes, and to keep him from suffering in the hands of Satan. Satan requested God to take the hedge away so he can afflict him; God will keep you from Satan’s afflictions and desires. (2). God gave an instruction to Satan ‘do not put your hand on the man himself’ which Satan had no alternative than to obey the instruction. (3). The Lord restored the fortunes of Job after Satan had finished his works. What God did not destine in your life will not remain with or in you indefinitely. (4). The Lord made people give Job money and gold, it is certain that when help comes for you from God, all-round-favor will follow even from those who had refused you before. (5). The Lord blessed the latter days of Job. It was this blessing that brought multiplication, increases and the distinction of his daughters in the land; it added 140 years to his age, enabled him to see the four generations of his children. Help from God will bring increase and multiplication and will sustain you.

“The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they consoled him and comforted him over all the distressing adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him a piece of money and each a ring of gold. And the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yokes of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. He had seven sons and three daughters. And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. In all the land there were found no women so fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. After this, Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations.” Job 42:10-27. You will not die until you fulfill all the promises of God for your life irrespective of what Satan is doing. For Prayers Click here
