FAITH CAPSULE: Serving God consistently is the evidence of integrity before God.

Job 1, 2:1-10

To be identified by God or to live life before God as integrity one is not by empty mouth or by walk that is not right before God. Empty mouth is mouth which full of the word of God but with no action that is rooted in the word of God. Also walk which is not right before God will not count for man before God as integrity. Job was full of the word of God as a result he walked right before God as a believer.
Satan attempted Job and his assault on Job was not enough to derail Job from his walk in the Lord.
Is your life an integrity before God?
What is it that is attempting against your walk before God?
From the first assault to the second, and throughout the whole life of Job, it was clear that Job was a man that will not digress from his stand in the Lord. From the time of Job’s well being through the time of the Satan’s assaults on his life, he maintained his consistency to be serving God. Serving God with consistency is the evidence of integrity before God.
The Bible described Job as none any other character as it is written, “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.” (Job 1:1) Job was consistent serving God by walking right before God.
In Job’s adversity, he received devastating news of the loss of his property and the death of his sons and daughters on the same day, yet he did not complain to God. It is written, “Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped.” (Job 1:20) As if the first assault was not enough, Satan attacked the second time with boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. After the first assault, God had testified about Job as a man that holds fast to his integrity (Job 1:3). Job’s wife knew that Job was a man of integrity as she attempted to unplug Job from his integrity stating, “…Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” (Job 1:9) Job refused not to abide with his wife’s statement which was meant to unplug his integrity.
Living life before God as integrity is the way to regain from all adversity of the enemy.
Job’s documentation was recorded in Job 42:12-17 “Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning…In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job… After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations.  So Job died, old and full of days.”
God is faithful to one that is faithful to His name.
