If you do your part, I will do My part. But if you fail to do your part, why do you expect Me to do My own part? I Am your Father, and you're My children. You're the one who will do My will. I cannot do your will because I will not descend low and bow down to you. You're the one that will bow to My will because I Am the Creator. Whatever you choose to do, there is a reward for you. I Am the Almighty God. I Am the Great I Am That I Am. I Am an Omnipotent God. I Am Omniscient God. I Am the Originator.
I purposely allowed Job to pass through what he passed through so that people like you would know who I Am. He was a man of peace. He feared Me with all his heart. He neither gave nor took bribes. He administered justice anywhere he went. He never shunned the poor and the needy. He always provided for them. But I allowed him to pass through torment because Satan incited Me to turn against him for nothing. I Am the Almighty God and wiser than all of you, and Satan knows.
If you look at the life of Job, you'll see what it takes to serve Me. All of you are reading My Word by flesh. Until you apply your Spirit to it, this is the only way you'll understand whatever you're reading. His fear of Me and his uprightness earned him a great reward. Satan thought he was serving Me because of everything I did for him. I didn't just do all those things for nothing; I did it because he earned it. If you're doing My will, I will guard and guide you. I will protect you.
Many of you are treading on dangerous ground. You constantly leave your territory to another man's territory, yet you expect to receive from Me. Immediately you open your mouth in prayers, I've released your answer. But why didn't you receive it? Because your hands are full already. If you live in obedience to My Word, you're a winner. Satan knows that your territory is a no-go area for him. He can only stand and watch you from afar. He dared not touch Job without My consent. As a righteous man, unless I give My consent, Satan has no right to do anything to you because I will use every power to protect you.
Many of you want to avoid reading the Book of Job. What happened to Job never happened to him again. Nowhere else in history did such a thing happen again. You'll see how I declared My glory in the Book of Job. If you want to know what it takes to serve Me, go and read the Book of Job. All of you like what is easy. You love what will make you comfortable inside sin. But you forget I Am a Holy Father; if you want to please Me, you must be holy.
If a child knows how to wash his hands, he'll eat with the aged. Almighty Father works on principles. Therefore, He always put down a clause whenever He wants to deal with any man. In the Book of Job 1:8-11, the Bible says, "The Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. Then Satan answered the Lord, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face." Chapter 2:3 also says, "The Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.""
"The Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil."
Does he fear God for nothing? If you sow a good seed, no matter how much you're in haste, you must wait for the right time before you can eat fruits from it. You don't sow in one day and reap the fruits. This applies to walking with the Father. The Bible says in the Book of Deuteronomy 28:1, "Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth."
If you…
Unless you please the Father, you can receive nothing from Him. This is the clause – 'if'.
Many of you serve the Father for nothing because your service unto Him is unacceptable. You're walking on two roads at the same time. The Father is a Holy Father and will not accept any trace of evil in you. Holiness is the key to a better life and life afterwards. Therefore, serve the Father for who He is so that He can look down and see your good work, then His reward will follow, not only you but your children after you will partake in it. I pray for you today that Jehovah God will help you to obey His word in Jesus' name. Amen! May the Lord give you the grace to walk with him in Jesus' name.
