*JOB PRAYED FOR HIS FRIENDS*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  30 August 2023*


SCRIPTURE: And the LORD turned the Captivity of Job, when he Prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before - *Job 42:10*


Job suffered great setbacks in Life despite his Righteous Living. His case was so bad that he cursed the day he was born - *Job 3:1-3*


His suffering was so Pitiable that his wife told him to curse God and die - *Job 2:9*


In the midst of his crisis came three of his friends comfort him. 


The Bible says, a friend loves at all times and a brother is born for Adversity - *Proverbs 17:17*


Unfortunately, Job's friends had no empathy for him but were Judgemental, attributing his Predicaments to his sins. A man that the Lord testified of being Perfect and  Upright.


His friends made life more uncomfortable for him, that he called them miserable Comforters - *Job 16:2*


In our Anchor Text above, the Bible says the Lord turned his Captivity when he Prayed for his friends. 


*This means God intervened in his Adversity when he Prayed for his miserable Comforters, those who compounded his Challenges.*

 

*This teaches us to have the heart of Forgiveness, as a Platform for Divine Intervention.*


*Hating those who are hurting us closes the door of Divine Intervention and will Prolong the days of Adversity.*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please give me the heart of Forgiveness that my days of Adversity will be shortened.
