Job1: 12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
Now, even though it is true that Job had earned his wealth by employing Godly principles, the basic fact remains the same, namely, the purpose of devils to eradicate most, or all of a Christian’s earnings as a set goal. In this way tithes and offerings that should flow to the treasury would inevitably suffer, and the wider work of the gospel is often impeded.
What satan does next must be studied very closely, for it is a script that he often refers to when coming in as a flood against God’s people. Note well that he does not go after Job’s family, or his wife at first. Instead, he seeks to obliterate Job’s, income for he understands that Job’s household will be adversely affected by the incoming financial crash.
Income affects outcome and inflow affects outflow so that when a person goes broke, suddenly, pretty weird things can start to happen. Job was a righteous man, and the scripture tells us that there was no get rich quick scheme, in any of his dealings. We were just observing the strategies of devils as it pertains to their desire in eliminating whatsoever individuals, especially God’s people, may have.
Job 1:14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them. 15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
