     *JOB PRAYED FOR HIS     FRIENDS*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  30 August 2025: Share*


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 in Jesus Christ Name.

And in the beginning, God created the earth. It means, in the beginning, Love created the earth.
