DO AFFLICTIONS SWALLOW YOUR GOD? – Friday July 21st 2017
Memorise: For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: Job 19:25
Read: Job 19:23-27 (KJV)
19:23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

 19:24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!

19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

19:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
19:27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

 MESSAGE:
Prophecies are great tools that God uses to intervene in the situations His people's lives. Every prophecy has certain conditions attached to it to trigger its actualisation. Knowing this truth, one particular year, when the Almighty God said that there would be an overflow in that year, I immediately realised that there was some work to be done. Open Heavens 21 July 2017. When He then asked us to fast for 100 days, I was not surprised. Understanding such a task was not an easy one, but obedience to it produced a great harvest in joy, overflowing blessings and much more. This is your season of overflow of God's blessings in Jesus' Name!

In 1st King 17:8-16, when Elijah asked the widow of Zarephath to bring him some food, her response is worthy of note. 1st Kings 17:12a says,

"And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse:"

In other words, she took a good look at Elijah and said, "I know your God". Daniel 11:32 says if you know the Almighty God, you will be empowered to do exploits. ' Exploits' here refers to activities that are way beyond the ordinary. God is in the business of doing exploits. Open Heavens 21 July 2017: Friday daily devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye - Do Afflictions Swallow Your God? It takes God to turn the hideout of highway robbers into a beautiful godly city. It takes the God of exploits to construct the present auditorium at the Redemption Camp, even with its staggering cost. If you ever want to see exploits, you must know this God personally.

In addition, not only did this widow know Elijah's God, she also declared Him to be alive. One of the most profound statements in the Bible was made by Job. In Job 19:25, He said:

"For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth."

At the time he said this, he was in a most distressing situation. Things were very bad indeed. He had lost all his wealth, property, children and even his health. However, in spite of his ordeal, he still proclaimed that God was alive. Many people tend to believe that God is not alive or that He is not who He says He is, just because of the severe trials of faith they are facing. Problems can never take God away. He doesn't cease to exist just because He has not answered your prayers. How much faith can you repose in God while going through difficult times? This is a true test of your character.
Action Point
Ask God to open more doors for us to reach the unreached countries with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
