TEXT: "In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly" {Job 1:22}

What does it take to access our restoration package?

Job is a classic example of restoration. We have used him as a case study severally this month. His captivity was turned around and he had double of what the devil stole from him (Job 42:10). But what were the secrets to his restoration? We have mentioned some in our previous posts. What more?

* JOB WAS A LOVER OF GOD (Job 2:9-10).

Job was an addicted lover of God in spite of all his challenges. His three friends mocked him; yet, love moved him to pray for them (Job 42:10). Your genuine love for God will flow to all men even to those who hurt you. It was after Job’s demonstration of love to his friends that God restored him. Job was a lover of God and he showed it by praying for his friends. Your love for God is what determines your restoration.

Your love for God must have proofs. Giving is one of the proofs of love. You cannot have true love for someone and not give to the person. So also, you cannot love God and not give to Him and for His kingdom work. Giving is a proof of your love for Him. If you love Him, you will give without being coerced to do so. It will be a thing of Joy to you to do so.

God first loved us and gave His only son for us all. And He had promised that if He could give His only Son then, there is nothing He cannot freely give us (Rom 8:32). Love is a giver and if you love God you must be a giver too. God expects you to give willingly, cheerfully and bountifully, but according to what you have and not what you don’t have (2Cor 9:6-7; 8:12). Giving is a test of the sincerity of your love. 

PRAYER: May your love for God wax stronger and stronger, in Jesus name.
