MARCH 15, 2019 The Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional : TOPIC - A FRIEND IN NEED

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

TOPIC - A FRIEND IN NEED

READ: JOB 6:14-30

14.“To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15. My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,
16. Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes.
17. When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18. The paths of their way turn aside, They go nowhere and perish.
19. The caravans of Tema look, The travelers of Sheba hope for them.
20. They are disappointed because they were confident; They come there and are confused.
21. For now you are nothing, You see terror and are afraid.
22. Did I ever say, ‘Bring something to me’? Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?
23. Or, ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s hand’? Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of oppressors’?
24.“Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25. How forceful are right words! But what does your arguing prove?
26. Do you intend to rebuke my words, And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?
27. Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, And you undermine your friend.
28. Now therefore, be pleased to look at me; For I would never lie to your face.
29. Yield now, let there be no injustice! Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands!
30. Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern the unsavory?

THE MESSAGE:
Job has continued to react to his friends' conviction over his suffering. He described them as pitiless, deceitful and fearful (verses 14-15; 21). They offered him no help. Though Job was disappointed with his friends, he stood his ground and maintained his innocence. How do you relate with your friends who are suffering and need your help? Like Job's friends, with grievous assumptions? God forbid! A friend loveth at all times (Proverbs 17:17).

The word of God recognises the need for the afflicted and has instructed on what to do to help out. Some of them include: mourn with those who mourn (Romans 12:15); carry each other's burden (Galatians 6:2); cloth yourselves with compassion (Colossians 3:12); let your conversation be full of grace seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6); do not judge or you will be judged (Matthew 7:1); pray for each other (James 5:16).
When we willingly obey God's injunction for those who are suffering, God will make a way for them and they will smoothly overcome their situations.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. May we be friends in need in Jesus' Name!


PRAYER: Lord, make me a friend in need to save souls for eternity.
