LESSONS FROM THE LIFE OF JOB? Pt.6

November 13, 2021 · Lanre Oyeleke · 4 views

Job 42:12 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. NLT

THE SECOND HALF SHALL BE BETTER

I love the account of Job's life. It gives hope and assures that if a child of God pass through fire and waters of trouble, the latter end shall be better. The latter part of Job's life was better than the beginning. I love the way New Living Translation puts it, "So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning...". There's a second half of victory, breakthrough, revival, testimony, answered prayers and success.
Life is in phases. This present moment may be your own trouble phase, waiting phase, prayer & fasting phase, mockery phase. Don't bother yourself too much about this phase because it shall pass away. Apostle Paul call this phase "momentary", that is it won't last long: "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all", 2Cor4:17.

When a thing is momentary, it won't last long. Abraham's barrenness was momentary, eventually, he became a father and Sarah carried her baby. That will be your testimony. You cannot die like this, no you can't. There's a power that transforms and lift a man out of the dungeon of trouble and settle him in the place of peace. That power is the power of God. It is working in my life already. I have seen it change the story of those whom the world never thought will amount anything. I've seen this power break the yoke of delay in marriage and settle people in their homes. Irrespective of what your challenge is, I decree, that power will bring about a change in your life in Jesus name.

Review all you've learnt in the life of Job and practice them. Live a life of praise, forgive those that mock you and walk worthy of God. Don't waste this precious insight that you have learnt. I see you testifying soon in Jesus name. There's a second half of testimony, victory, testimony, breakthrough, success and triumph. Now is your appointed time, you're in that season already. Enter into the reality of it Jesus name.

Action point

Father, change my story in Jesus name.
