See beyond your challenges



Image result for hebrew 4:14-16 kjvJob 9:32-35 says,"For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.33 Neither is there any days man betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me".

The above passage shows a man that was highly rated in the old testament-Job1:1-3, a wealthy and God fearing man, a man that God was proud of-Job 2:3 but was afflicted beyond measure. 

A man that was sure of his holy way of life and was able to deny the accusation from his friends-Job denied the accusations of his friends that he had sinned. He knew that he was right before God. Although he was tried almost to the limit by sorrow, by pain, and by the words of his “comforters,” Job determined to keep his righteousness. Job longed to stand before God because the Lord knew the truth about this test. Job knew that this was a test, and that God had permitted it.

Many atimes believer are being faced with some ugly situations but this doe snot mean that God is not aware/ has neglected us but He wants us to see beyond our circumstances.

A child of God sees through the help of Holy Spirit, and you cannot get over your challenges by your effort without Him. 

Nobody ever told Job that his Spirit could take him far beyond the Old Testament/ his generation, and see far into New Testament/ generation to come.

Job never knew that their would be a time that a man called Jesus would come , and be an advocate for any beleiver that call on Him.

Job was speaking in Job 9:32-35, and if we critically look at this we can see that Job was calling on the King of glory for Help, he brought Jesus into being before Jesus was born-Hebrew 4:15-16. 

Have you allow Jesus to arise on your behalf?.

Hebrew 4:14 says," 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our  profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come  boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. and this was what Job was doing in Job 9:32-35, and no wonder why the challenges could not prevail against him.

Beloved, who do you call  when you are faced with challenges, difficulties and hard times?, do you call on uncles, friends or you blame people, God for your predicaments, or do you resent to not serving/trusting again God?.

Beloved, arise and see beyond your challenges today, call unto Jesus, surrender all to Him, and I know that you will testify in Jesus name. If He can help Job, blessed and restored him-Job 42:10-12, then He will surely do yours in Jesus name.

Stop wailing, crying and blaming God for your predicaments but rather allow His Spirit to lead you in His right path, and it shall be well with you.

Good morning
