God Wants to Remain God, the Reason He allows the Devil in Your Life
Introduction
God is righteous, not sentimental, meaning His character is defined by perfect holiness, justice, and consistent covenantal love, rather than fickle, passing human emotions. His love is anchored in moral uprightness and holiness, demanding righteousness, while his judgment is impartial and not swayed by sentiment– reference: theshepherds.church
Impartation
It is often said that, ‘God is not moved by your tears’. God is moved by his word. Quote God’s word back to him. If you need something from God, be deliberate and ask the Almighty. Asking depicts your confidence in Him and prayers prayed with unwavering faith definitely craves for answers. In the same way, the devil knows that, God is a serious God. He knows God is principled and he operates with that understanding.
Theological facts expresses that, the devil knows that God is righteous suggesting, God does things the right way. The devil duly aware God does things the right way is the reason he is certain that, in God’s rightness, He wouldn’t forfeit issues that has to do with righteousness. And so for instance, if the enemy goes to ask God, “does Job fear God for nothing?” the devil knows God wouldn’t just throw away a conversation that matters. For God to answer, He has to probe the question in detail and respond accordingly to meet the request.
‘God being ‘righteous and not sentimental’ suggests that, He will probe if Job indeed fears Him for nothing. ‘There are reasons for which Job fears God’, the statement meant to portray. The devil knows that, God is perfect in his holiness for that reason, He will justly probe Job’s qualifications for standing right before Him. God will not just assume Job fears Him for nothing. To be a fair and impartial God, He has to give ears to the devil’s claim of Job
God wants the best for you and I and that’s why His love drives the decisions and actions He takes concerning us. Because God loves us, he wants to probe if everything that is said about us is true. Good parents follows the activities of their children. They are not subjective. They follow up to ascertain if the facts of the incident for which their children are blamed for are true. The devil knows that, because God loved Job, he wouldn’t be subjective in matters concerning him. Job came out better at the end after proper scrutiny because his God’s love allowed the opportunity for a retrial that brings promotion.
God loves you that’s why you’re going through all those trials. God loves you that’s why there is one problem after another. God loves you that’s why things are going from bad to worse even though you are faultless. The love of God makes us go through fire situations to make us stronger and become better people. Today if people are bearing false witness about you, understand that, you will be vindicated. You will go through the trial at the court but you will be victorious. Sometimes people are taken to prison before God’s hand is lifted in the situation. You may want to save the situation before it becomes bad but God is Almighty. After Pharaoh had seen all the plagues hit the Egyptian land and his soldiers drown and the Israelites fled before he testified that ‘God is God’.
God is not inconsistent and indecisive for him to alter because of you are emotional concerning the matter. Some Christians can use their tears to try to bribe God. Many Christians think that, the more they cry, the more God must have mercy on them. Gather strength in the situation and turn your pain into prayer. Quote God’s word to Him. This is what moves Him, not your tears. The devil could be doing a lot to you but there are procedures for your exit. There is an attitude God expects of you in the situation. Demonstrate it.
In all your struggles, God does not change. His moral uprightness and holiness is what makes him not to depart from his manner of addressing the accusation labeled against you by the devil. God is holy and upright the reason he is judging the case so that he wouldn’t offend the rules. God does things so that no one can take the praise. God wants to do it thoroughly and impeccably that men wouldn’t find faults. Because he is holy and upright, God wants to go the long route with the devil. In spite of the difficulty, God is demanding your righteousness. Don’t cut corners. Go the long route. Earn the contract the right way. Woman, the conditions they are putting around your work before you’re employed does not glorify God. There are persons who will do the thing subtly as if it’s nothing but it’s a sin. The fact that you’re put in charge of the money does not mean you can take it without prior approval.
The devil knows that God’s judgment is impartial and not swayed by sentiment and that’s why he towed the line of questioning God about Job’s fear of Him. God knows that the enemy is a trickster but he entertained him in the wilderness and passed the test. The only way to defeat the devil is to take him through a formal contest and win. Once the battle was won, he departed for a moment in Jesus case. The devil we are fighting is an unrelenting devil. He does not give up. We can be very happy today but we cannot tell what he has in store. While you’re in a merry mood, spend time to pray. Don’t suspend your spiritual disciplines because you no more sense danger. Pray at all times bible says so that you do not fall into temptation. We can never tell when the enemy strikes again.
