The glory of Christ, the Image of God

 2 Corinthians 4:4

English Standard Version

4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Command the morning

 ”“Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,“

‭‭Job‬ ‭38‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Means the morning and the evening are persons we can command.

Hope in the Lord!

 ”Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.“

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭33‬:‭18‬-‭22‬ ‭ESV

Go where you find peace

 ”Live here as a foreigner in this land, and I will be with you and bless you. I hereby confirm that I will give all these lands to you and your descendants, just as I solemnly promised Abraham, your father. Isaac’s men then dug another well, but again there was a dispute over it. So Isaac named it Sitnah (which means “hostility”). Abandoning that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well. This time there was no dispute over it, so Isaac named the place Rehoboth (which means “open space”), for he said, “At last the Lord has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.”“

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬, ‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Isaac, Abraham’s seed,the devil filled up his wells with dirt (fleshly or earthly stuff pursuits), stopped the flow of fresh water (rhema word). 

He moved from one well to another (one ministry to another? One church to another, one pastor to another? One job to another? One business to another? ) till he finds a place where there is peace/prosperity, no contention, no unrest. 

Note: even in the same foreign land, there are different geographical locations. There is a place where there is no strive, therefore prosperity flows. 

Go where you are celebrated (welcome), not where you don’t belong. 

He called it open space, we call it open heaven/upper room).  Hence prosperity flows.

Have an attitude like Job

God loves Job a lot, although Job didn't know why he was suffering real bad, he did not deny God nor curse God and die. I think he knew that God might have allowed things to happen to him. So he kept a good attitude throughout. In the end, Job passed his test and everything that he had lost was restored double.

If we are still going through some challenges, know this, keep our relationship with Father closer. Don't run away from the One who can do anything for us and through us.

Always know this, the devil cannot touch us unless God has allowed it. So let's pass the test quickly! We don't want to spend even a night in the wilderness (no not 40years!)!
