might come even to his seat i would order my coffee for him and fill my mouth with arguments i would know the words which he would answer me and understand what he would say unto me will he plead against me with his great power no but he would put his we would put strength in me there the righteous might dispute with him so should i be delivered forever from my judge behold i go forward but he is not there and backward but i cannot perceive him on the on the left hand where he does work but i cannot behold him he hided himself on the right hand that i cannot see him but he know it the way that i take when he had tried me i shall come forth as gold heavenly father once more we come before your throne of gays ask king that you would give us the understanding of your word today thank you the regard for the life of job and the book of job may we learn much from this uh story lord that our faith might be strong and might is increase pray in jesus name amen amen you may be seated i would like to greet those who are with us on live streaming who are with us in all of the places of worship that we have today we have our senior citizens there at boa i don't know if we have it there at the art sims hall we still have i think some vacant places up in the balcony so you are still there on live streaming you get out always every sunday and come and be with us this morning we praise the lord for i told a total of 10 766 viewers and attenders in our morning service [Applause] we have 192 visitors we have 1166 members who signed their names as present but i am praying that souls should be saved every sunday i have a good number of visitors but we do not have a report of getting saved i'm not used to that but even in this pandemic whether it be we are on live streaming i want people to be safe don't you don't you all right now that's my job that's your job it's our job to share is our job is god's job to save people our job is to share the gospel tell them of the goodness of salvation today i'm going to give you a short message and this short message is entitled the great trial of a believer in the life of job the great trial of a believer in the life of job job 23 here chapter 23 is already the answers of job to his miserable comforters for so many chapters his miserable comforters three of his friends tried to comfort him with all kinds of accusations and condemnations and we find that job began to answer them that is the chapter in which job started to answer all of those accusations against him but here we find that job was in deep and great distress he had a terrible disease and at the same time in absolute poverty now you don't want that to happen to anyone especially those who are believers of christ having to create distresses one is having a terrible disease that cannot be remedied by any kind of medicine from the crown of his head to his own feet but not only had he a terrible disease but at the same time he was in absolute poverty and that is when women complains a time isn't it most women complain about having no money that's uh the i i guess the always the focus of married women and mothers foreign you know i i was thinking if uh mrs job was actually a believer because if you as a believer you she won't do that isn't it the chapter 2 i believe and he took him a path butcher these are pieces of broken pottery [Music] wife unto him does thou still retain that integrity make lila burst to it curse god and die pineapple me [Music] in sickness and in health for richer for poorer you do not choose the best answer please repeat after me in sickness and health in health for poorer and richer richer all right mothers recognizing villa but not sacred and the only kind of sacred wedding we have is when you are when in a baptist altar oh you see and i hope that wives will not be like that because to let me joke you can asana horrible wife now first of all we find that job longs for his god in job 23 verse number 3 oh that i knew where i might find him that i might come even to his seat naniwala but that is a real and honest complaint even of a believer in jesus christ who is in a terrible distress and problem he's looking for comfort he can find it he's looking for answers but there seemed to be no answer so from verse number one to verse number nine he knows that in god he is sure of at least six things there is justice in god amen because god is just we're all filled with injustices we're all filled with the world is not fair especially among believers the government is full of corruption and injustice and unfairness and partiality but you know even if job is complaining about the lord's presence he believes that in god he is sure of justice one day there will be judgment folks amen one day we're going to face the courts of god one day every believer is going to face the judgment seat of jesus christ and we shall be judged according to our works not anymore according to our motives according to our attitude no according to our character because all of those things are being judged right now but the bible says when we reach heaven someday and we face the judgment seat of jesus christ we shall be judged according to our works if indeed we are going to have a good reward foreign okay you know when we were investigating field health i was actually i really i i want to say because hospital that has allegedly fraudulent claims my fraud hospital [Music] is fraudulent claims i could be able to in a way picture that to a believer foreign we are going to face god someday if you are not saved i am sure of this i sure as i'm standing here you're gonna face god for sentencing not trial the great white throne judgment is the sentencing it is not a trial if you're not safe so you better realize yourselves today and you better make sure that you're a believer am i right but you know why are you not serving god you're the same thing all over again nothing happened to you anyway and you know what if the word of god cannot change you listen now if the word of god cannot change you nothing can change you if the spirit of the lord cannot convert you nothing else will convert you and you know for a fact that all of the experiences of job whatever it might be in verse number 10 of job chapter 2 he said unto her thou speakers as one of the foolish women speaketh foreign next time foreign foreign my mercy and our god is known for his mercy as he is known for his grace you know he is sure of understanding you do not understand the ways of god isn't it you know you can in a way complain say lord but nothing experienced in impossible there was a man in the land of ooze whose name was job and that man was perfect and upright completo spiritual upright and one that fear god and astute evil he hated evil is it possible for you to fear god and love evil you can and they were born unto him seven sons and three daughters his substance also was seven thousand sheep his substance also was seven thousand sheep the salute so just imagine huh six hectares of property nabilikunang forty two thousand pesos six hectares two thousand pesos [Applause] 100 000. my away great household so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east and he believes in god verse number four his sons went and feasted in their houses everyone his day can you imagine and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them it was so when the days of their feasting were gone about that job sent and sanctified them and rose up early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all for job said it may be that my sons have sinned and cursed god in their hearts thus did job continually rebel he approaches god immediately and make a sacrifice for the lord for his own children ganon katino of the world now all right now there was a day when the sons of god came to present themselves before the lord atsi no madonna see the am i right and that's always an oriental know job [Music] his substance is increased in the land put forth that hand now touch all that he had and he will curse thee to the face foreign so satan went forth from the presence of the lord ambitious eating and drinking wine foreign verse 14 there came a messenger and to job and said the oxen were plowing and the assets feeding beside them the saberians fell upon them and took them away in the four corners of the house and the house fell upon the young men and they are dead tell me if that happens to you where will you be come on now think about it if you have all of those things and god has blessed you so much and all of a sudden god allowed satan to take all of those things away so quick in one day's time what can you do where will you be foreign in verse number 20 then job arose and rent this mantle shave his head fell down upon the ground and what and worship just stand for a while and worship foreign verse 21 naked came i out of my mother's womb and naked shall i return peter the lord gave the lord that taken away what blessed be the name of the lord in verse number 22 it says and all this job sin not nor charge god foolishly hindi was live streaming streaming [Music] all right chapter 2 will he give for his life they do not believe that job is a true story of man they don't believe that they believe it to be just a a fairy tale or a just a legend just a story being told hello foreign filipinas oh foreign foreign from the soul of his foot and to his crown venezuelan verse 8. and that's in verse 9. in all this did not joke sin with his lips vienna foreign to come to mourn with him there mourning now with him and to comfort him foreign [Music] is that the kind of comforting words you're going to say to a man that has been faithful to god of course not people finally when job was able to speak in chapter 23 fabian verse number two even today is my complaint bitter he didn't hide it he didn't hide it you see but despite all that he knows that in god he is very sure of justice of mercy of understanding of strength of joy of comfort secondly in verses 8 to 9 it seems that he cannot find god he cannot feel the presence of god cannot see is a mature man a believer in christ faithful man you've got to remember job is still a man am i right he's not perfect folks he's still a human being prone to weakness and prone to imperfections and prone to complain and he began to complain before god sabina the once a verse number two even today is my complaint bitter my stroke is heavier than my groaning he cannot feel the presence of god in verse number 8 behold i go forward but he is not there and backward but i cannot perceive him on the left hand were hit at work but i cannot behold him he hided himself on the right hand that i cannot see him that is his honest complaint and he felt he must say this to his own friends am i right one-fourth nothing job h you know you cannot seem to find god and you cannot feel the presence of god because of three things when number one we are occupied with self occupied with self elin number two when we are so occupied with others miserable he was so occupied with others number three when we see only criticisms and complaints chapter 23 verse 10. but he know it the way that i take when he had tried me i shall come forth as goal ibix i want you to know that this is his consolation despite the trials with all of the complaints with all of the criticisms he had one consolation and what is that consolation number one god knows and understands his child number two god looks over his child you know i want to deliver you out of that but i won't do it because i'm testing you i want to get you out of all of these struggles but i will not do it until you realize the kind of faith you have that i gave you all of us if you're a believer will pass the trials of faith oliver his consolation number three god comforts his child the book of corinthians the bible said that god is that is uh a god of comfort god comforts his child magikiran rito m why because they begin to realize job was righteous in his own eyes chapter 32 but then there was a man that spoke the truth his name was elijah elijah began to speak to job elijah began to advise job began to tell job job god is trying us god will try you because you're his child if you are not prepared to be tried maybe you're not a child of god number two if you will not win over those trials that your faith will be evident then you are not a child of god i am passing my judgment now to you because every child of god will pass through many trials of life then after all of those trials you will know that before god you are gold god knows understand his child god looks over his child god comforts his child and lastly god rewards his child when he have tried me i shall come forth as gold in first peter chapter one and verse number five who were kept by the power of god through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last day time wherein ye greatly rejoice though now for a season if need be we are in heaviness through manifold temptations verse 7 that the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold that perished though it betrayed with fire might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of jesus christ do you know what god teaches me here in all these things all the troubles all the sicknesses all those distress do you know what god teaches me god is always there shall we stand red be bound every eye be closed either you know that you're safe tonight or you begin to realize you're not alistair a know foreign you can make that decision to appreciate that you are his child and that god understands everything that you are experiencing right now god knows and that god always will comfort his own children and one day you're going to get the rewards that in all of the things you have heard tonight there's one thing that remain in your own mind that god is always there or you cannot say it because you are not a believer of jesus christ you are not saved you are not converted to him we'll give you a chance to make it right and all of you
