Have you ever been through something so deep and so beyond your control? And you are like what happen I thought if I live right than bad things will not happen to me. I thought God would always protect me.These questions probably probe through our minds all the time. But what I found out that despite what we are going through Jesus is still on the throne. And sometimes its not about how holy you are living. Their is an enemy that is rooted against you. And his name is Satan. ANd he cannot stand you and he does not delight in your prosperity in whatever form that may be. In case in point let's look at Job. Job was a righteous , God fearing man that shunned all evil. AS the word of God says in Job 1:1-There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.But even with Job righteous living that did not stop the devil from finding away to destroy him. AS the word of God says in Job 1:6-11 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b] also came among them.
7 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?”
So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”
9 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!” So we see here that God allow the enemy certain permission to attack Job,but not his soul. As the word of God says in Job 1:12-
And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.”
So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord. Now we know that the enemy has limited power because he cannot go pass God to harm you . Even Jesus told us not to fear no one because he has our soul . AS the word of God says in Matthew 10:28-And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. So we see here their is nothing to fear when facing danger that . Jesus is in control of your soul not the devil. As Christians we do not have to be afraid of disaster because the Lord is our confidence. AS the word of God says in Proverbs 3:25-26-Stay calm; there is no need to be afraid of a sudden disaster
or to worry when calamity strikes the wicked,
26 For the Eternal is always there to protect you.
He will safeguard your each and every step. You have to remember saints that their is certain permission that the devil has but you still have to trust in Jesus despite what has afflicted you does not mean that God has stop loving you an has forsaken you. Remember what God said in 1 Timothy 2:13-If we are unfaithful,
He remains faithful,
For He is not able to deny Himself. As Christian you are going to go through suffering ,because the enemy is like the one that wants to make sure you fail and he wants to sift you out. AS the word of God says in Luke 22:31- Simon, Simon, how Satan has pursued you, that he might make you part of his harvest. But do worry saints Jesus has already prayed for you that you will remain strong through your disaster. As the word of God says in Luke 22:32-But I have prayed for you. I have prayed that your faith will hold firm and that you will recover from your failure and become a source of strength for your brothers here.Going through a difficult situation can build your faith if you allow God to build you through it. As the word of God says in 1 Corinthians 3:10-17- Like a skilled architect and master builder, I laid a foundation based upon God’s grace given to me. Now others will come along to build on the foundation. Each serves in a different way and is to build upon it with great care. 11 There is, in fact, only one foundation, and no one can lay any foundation other than Jesus the Anointed. 12 As others build on the foundation (whether with gold, silver, gemstones, wood, hay, or straw), 13 the quality of each person’s work will be revealed in time as it is tested by fire. 14 If a man’s work stands the test of fire, he will be rewarded. 15 If a man’s work is consumed by the fire, his reward will be lost but he will be spared, rescued from the fire. 16 Don’t you understand that together you form a temple tothe living God and His Spirit lives among you? 17 If someone comes along to corrupt, vandalize, anddestroy the temple of God, you can be sure that God will see to it that he meets destruction because the temple of God is sacred. You, together, are His temple.So God not going to allow the enemy to miss up his work when he called you to be part of his temple. I just want you saints to know that God is in complete control no matter what it looks like. Like it says in Psalm 46:10-11-
“Be still, be calm, see, and understand I am the True God.
I am honored among all the nations.
I am honored over all the earth.”
11 You know the Eternal, the Commander of heavenly armies, surrounds us and protects us;
the True God of Jacob is our shelter, close to His heart.
[pause] I hope you understand that God is in control. And that he keep his promise to you. As the word of God says in Isaiah 54:10- Even if the mountains heave up from their anchors,
and the hills quiver and shake, I will not desert you.
You can rely on My enduring love;
My covenant of peace will stand forever.Jesus love you, he has your life and that's all that matter.
If you want a relationship with Jesus say this prayer: Lord Jesus I come to you . You are the spotless Lamb that has come to take away my sins and make me a new creation. I ask that you will forgive me and I believe in my heart that God did raised you Jesus from the dead.ANd that if I called upon you I will be saved. Lord Jesus take my sins away and make clean. I give you my soul and fill my temple with your Spirit in Jesus Name.AMen
