There is Lifting

TEXT:

Job 22: 23 – 30

Introduction:

One of the bitter truths which everybody must understand is that there’s a time of trouble in the life of a man; God never promised us that we will not have issues in life, but you must not fail in those times.

Depending or relying on God during the storms of life makes you a man.

Psalms 38: 6

 

There’s always a time when one goes through trouble, the Bible referred to such times as a time of distress. Such instances are:

  1. When one has a feeling of danger or senses danger ahead of oneself. Genesis 32: 6 – 7
  2. When one has the feeling of guilt. Genesis 42: 21 – 22
  3. When God is no more with someone. 1st Samuel 28: 15
  4. When God is against someone. Judges 2: 13

 

What is lifting?

Lifting is when God transforms the life of a man from negative situation.

  2. When God decides to promote someone. Psalms 75: 6 – 7, Daniel 3: 30

Lord, I thank you for the privilege of coming to your presence to hear your word, thank you for speaking to us. I declare that we are lifted in the name of Jesus. Amen.
