Days 149 Reading: Job 35:1 - Job 42:17 Everyone faces trouble. Trouble comes in many ways. For some it's illness, others its unemployment, sudden loss of a business, marital dispute or maybe a court case that just drags forever. You know what trouble you are  facing. I want to encourage you that there is an ending that is of God in every trouble. What lessons can be derived from the Book of Job? Fear not. Because of fear Job opened the door for the trouble he went through. What is that inner secret fear you harbour that is driving you instead of the love of God? God can boast about you. Job lived such a great life that pleased God that God could boast about him in heaven. Is God able to boast about you?  Be wary of the wisdom of friends when in trouble. Job's friends castigated him by accusing him of sin while not seeking God for an answer to his troubles. They spoke of God without His authority to declare to Job of hidden sin.  Don't allow trouble to dimin...

Day 146 Reading: Job 22:1 - Job 26:14 Dear Kenya, Great are the promises that have gone ahead of you. You are a nation with great potential. A nation that many believe has the capacity to become a force in the world. Many African nations look up to you and measure their standards of development by how far you have gone. However, you have been found wanting. Greed, idolatry and immorality have consumed your soul to the detriment of your well-being. You have forgotten the principles on which you are founded. You called on me the Creator at the beginning of time, however, you have now decided to live without Me.  This letter is to not only a warning of the impending judgement coming towards the wicked but also a cry to return to God. The only solution to the troubles that plague this land is a wholesome returning to the Lord God. The wicked need to understand that their days are shortlived. Whatever, you have stolen from Kenya get ready to see God collect it and ...

Day 141 Reading: Job 1:1 - Job 4:21 Suffering is a topic we don't like to discuss. Going through problems or experiencing challenges is one thing no one likes. The Book of Job is associated with challenges. Many don't like reading it today because they feel its an invitation to challenges. Many others feel that it obscures the view of a good God that they have of God. In doing this they misunderstand that the Book of Job is a good lesson on dealing with the challenges of this world. Life will always have challenges as it is not smooth sailing forever. Just as the sea will have storms the Book of Job makes us understand how to deal with storms in life. What caused Job to go through his suffering? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Whenever we go through challenges we are used to asking why me. While this is not a bad question it's not a great question. The question one should ask foremost is what is the source of this trouble I am facing? Once you ident...
