MY MONTH OF EXCEEDING JOY WILL COME

Post date: Sep 29, 2015 11:46:34 PM

You may not have had the dream of your exceeding successes and joyful breakthroughs yet; you may not be expecting any change soon based on your dreams and visions; you may not believe these divine words that things are about to change for and in you because you have heard them many times and they are yet to be seen or proven right; and because of the ongoing delays, ongoing frustrations, ongoing humiliations, exceeding loneliness, prolonged pains and ill health, endless sorrows, many unfruitful job search and continuous rejection by friends, family, suitors, and business associates wherever you go and in whatever you do; your level of doubt may have escalated over the years; your reservations for good things may have increase above your desires, and your expectations may have gone down and is too low for comfort. But it is true that things are about to change pretty soon for you.

Based on all that you have done to advance your life beyond what and where it is today; based on your commitment to sincere and effective prayers, frequent fasting, commitment to godly ways and standards; based on your renunciation of all sins and appearance of evil, and based on your previous daily expectations in life, you would have been miles and miles ahead of all your competitors by now, but looking at you today, you are still miles behind and struggling to crawl without any hope of catching up with them; the word of the Lord for you today is that, despite your very low self-esteem and expectations for yourself, you will not only catch up with others, but you will overtake them and set a new standard for them to catch up with you.

When the Almighty God sets His eyes on you, irrespective of what the devil will ever do or had ever done, he can never stop Him and stop you from attaining that mark He had set for you to reach in life. Despite the fact that the devil furiously went after Job and everything he ever had in life were all destroyed; despite the fact that the devil succeeded in his intent to destroy his marriage, his children, his family, his wealth, his sources of income, and his pride as a true believer and follower of the Almighty God before men, the devil was unable to destroy his reputation before God and at the end, Job ended his life in the kind of joy that exceeded by far what he ever had before. He had an exceeding joy through divine grace, divine protection and divine command. That is what will come to you. Job never had a dream or a vision that God will restore him or restore anything that he ever lost, but one thing he had was his expectations in God and his desires were never destroyed despite all the humiliations and rejections by his friends and family. That same divine hand will take you into the new month for good and will result in you having an exceeding joy that will attract others to praise your God. This is how God exceedingly restored Job’s joy.    

“After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer. After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring. The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. And he also had seven sons and three daughters. Job 42:7-16. Click here
