“NO, YOU WILL NOT DIE IN THAT SITUATION. (2)”

“So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. For now, he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. He also gave Job seven more sons and three more daughters. He named his first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch. In all the land no women were as lovely as the daughters of Job. And their father put them into his will along with their brothers. Job lived 140 years after that, living to see four generations of his children and grandchildren, then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life.” Job 42:12-17. God did not only restore Job’s fortune, but He also gave him more, blessed him more and promoted him more. He did not only restore his family, but He also gave him more beautiful children than before and added one hundred and forty more years for him to live and enjoy the new life and the new blessings. The bible said God gave job seven times more, seven times more is beyond restoration, it is beyond human imagination concerning what he had before, seven times more is what only God can and will do to a person in His love. All these happened to Job when Satan and the people who knew him before were waiting for him to die in misery, to die in pains and to die in confusion because of the physical and emotional suffering he was going through. Unknown to those waiting to see Job die was the fact God had given Satan an injunction not to kill him. “Then the Lord said to Satan, see, all that he has is in your power. Only do not put your hand on him. So Satan went out from the Lord. So the Lord said to Satan, see, he is in your power. Only do not kill him. Then Satan went out from the Lord. And he made very bad sores come on Job from the bottom of his foot to the top of his head.” Job 1:12; 2:6-7. God has the final decision concerning you and Satan cannot change that.

“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for well-being and not for trouble, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11. Unknown to Satan and the people were the plans of God to greatly increase Job thereafter in all things beyond what he was before and what he will lose in his misfortune in the hands of Satan. Irrespective of what the Satan in conjunction with the wicked and all your enemies will ever do against you, they will not pass the mark the Lord had set for them and they will never know the plans of God for your life. I want you to know that there is a plan for you by the Almighty God after all these; the wishes of evil will not prevent God from doing it as it did not prevent Him in Job’s case.

The enemies want you to die by what they are doing against you, the situation they have caused wants to remain the same and frustrate you till you die, the desires of the wicked is that you will remain in those pains and disappointed forever, they want to see you sad and discouraged, they want to see humiliated and shameful, but in that they will ever do and expect against you, God will rather keep you alive to see His mighty hands of deliverance, to experience the power of His amazing grace and restoration; He will keep strong even in days of your weakness, He will give hope in days and times of your confusion and uncertainty, He will comfort you in your days of unexplained confusion, and He will keep you till you experience a new life as He did with and for Job. God will prove them to be liars, despite your situations and conditions, the circumstance that brought you to this point in life, prepare yourself for God’s wonders, prepare yourself for His power of grace and blessings, prepare yourself for His deliverance will sure come and will be seen by all. God gave hope to Joshua “The Lord said to Joshua, this day I will begin to magnify and exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so that they may know that just as I was with Moses, I will also be with you. Then Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves for His purpose, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders, miracles among you. Joshua 3:7; 5. For prayersClick here
