I Go To The House Of Job

The house of Job is a place where we learn the lesson of falling and rising, it reminds us no one stays at the top forever, and no one stays beneath the lane forever, no one stays healthy forever, sickness of course will surely come, but it isn’t the sickness we should be worried about but rising out of it, losses will come from time to time, it’s one of the experiences of life, it reminds us how humaine and imperfect we are to have total control over all things.

In rising you don’t have to prove to the world that you’re rising, in succeeding out of the failures that held you bound, you have nothing to prove to anyone, the world doesn’t care who rises or falls, the only person cares is you, and the only One who will help you is God, only you feel it when you rise or fall, and only God sees it to help you out.

Trying to impress people in an unGodly manner psychologically weighs your emotions down, it eats up your peace of mind because no one is you, no one can really be in your shoes to feel your happiness or sadness, no one can feel what it’s when you fall or rise, it’s personal of you, just be yourself, be thankful to God and be happy.

Be kind to people both when you are down or up, it isn’t the situation or good story that counts, but your response towards it.

The more you try to impress people, the more you lose your direction; it builds up unnecessary anxiety.
God doesn’t lift people up to take revenge on their oppressors, He lifts people up to show forth His mercies, and that mercy you must extend even to those who humiliated you in the past, give them bread if they have none, give them water if they are thirsty, so that you will be worthy to be called a child of God.

In this particular matter of life, we learn from Job, he impressed no one when he got up, he took no revenge on people who abandoned and humiliated him in his darkest moments, but he praised the Name of GOD.

Rising isn’t to impress people, rising isn’t to take revenge on your mockers, and those who humiliated you in the past, rising is thanks to the Name of God, it’s a way to remind the world there is God Above who created all things, and all powers belong to Him, rising reminds people your Redeemer lives, it isn’t a time that calls for settlement of old matters.

No one can lift you up when you fall, remember Job had rich friends, but none of them could help draw him up, they wished they could but they lacked the strength, when you fall remember your Redeemer lives, only Him can raise you back up to your feet even much better than before, also remember when you rise, it’s to the glory of God not for the benefit of taking revenge on people or impressing anyone.

After considering all these, Job said in 19:25, “I know my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand on the earth.”

If you fall on the edge of sickness you shall rise again, if you have fallen in any affair of life that threatens your existence, you shall rise again, because your Redeemer surely lives.

If you fall on the edge of sickness you shall rise again, if you have fallen in any affair of life that threatens your existence, you shall rise again, because your Redeemer surely lives.

Let your success and rise above the troubles of life be a testament to the earth that your Redeemer lives, your success should be an evangelism of God’s unending provision and support, your success should usher in peace and not revenge.

You must know God blessed you to show some love and not to hate, you must know God healed you to be humble, and you must know every good thing you have is for the service of humanity and God.
