Job’s prayer for his friends and Job’s personal restoration.

June 22, 2009 by Jewel

previously we heard people sharing about how Job’s restoration came about …

and I am sure you heard something like this also

Job’s restoration came about after he prayed for his friends

recently the Lord addressed me on this issue

He said there is no precendence on such a theory

as in if you want to be blessed in this area
pray for others in this area

if you come across such please let me know

his restoration came about because of his repentance
repentance as in how he changed his thinking
or how he feels

the fact that the Lord asked his friends to go to Job to be prayed for

could have made Job feel a sense of righteousness backed by God
even in the midst of his own trials

and this sense of righteousness
translates into answered prayers for this friends

and if he prayed for his friends
of course he would also pray for himself

hence the restoration.

the feeling of condemnation hinders answers to prayers

when God restores Job’s sense of righteousness
everything else in Job’s life’s is restored and blessed double …
even better than before …

we should emphasize greatly on the teachings of righteousness by faith
we should magnify this teaching so that God’s children
indeed feel a sense of belonging in this powerful family of the Almighty.

Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have everything we ask for in prayer.

God bless all our plans and our success.

Thank You Father for the gentle reminder to love

Yes, once we remove bitterness and hatred from our hearts, we instantly become candidates for the Lord’s miracles and blessings to flow in our lives.

Let us do a reality check, and seriously ask ourselves if we have not been indeed enjoying a wonderful relationship with our Father. Where have we gone wrong? Father has not changed, He is always the same. So there must be something that has gone wrong with us.

There is a very high chance that our blessings stop
the moment we allow bitterness to enter our hearts
be it related or not

so in order to enjoy the constant flow of blessings
and a very happy and healthy relationship with the Most High

let us not harbour bitterness in any area of our lives
let us not envy others when they are better off than ourselves
let us not back bite others even though we feel that we are much better off then them
let us just be contented with our lot in life and enjoy the very present moment.

It is God who promotes one and tear down the other
it is better that the Lord promotes us than we promote ourselves

in the end, let there be love.

and begin to enjoy the blessings of seeing our prayers answered speedily again and again.

Amen
