The story of Job is a classic case of unwavering faith in God in the face of adversity. It shows that God is faithful and rewards your patience, obedience and trust in Him.

LESSON 1:

Whatever you boast with is likely to be tested. Job 1:8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? (Job 1:8 KJV)

So when you are proud of anything or anyone you should intercede for that person or thing. It is common for people who are being openly appreciated or favoured to start committing blunders or start walking in pride. The devil is always bent on destroying their testimonies.

LESSON 2:

Job 1:20 Do not react in anger, try to control your emotion in the face of an emergency, tragedy or calamity

LESSON 3:

Compare Job 2:9 to Job 1:11. Be careful watch out for anger, disobedience and other negative emotions in your life. Do not allow the devil to use you to fulfill his evil agenda. Eve was used by the devil to carry out his evil agenda on Adam.

LESSON 4:

Your level of faith will be tested by the reactions of those close to you especially when you are going through a trial. Job 2:9

LESSON 5:

Job was a very disciplined man: Job 31:1,

Job was a mentor and encourager to many – Job 4:3-4

Job stood firmly trusting the Lord – Job 13:15

LESSON 6:

God is mindful of what we say to people in adversity. Job 42:7

And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath. (Job 42:7 KJV)
