BEHIND THE SCENE

In watching movies, listening to music from every other source as well as seeing the happenings of life; most people do not consider the people behind who made it happen. There are always forces; physical and spiritual that makes things happen either good or bad. Life’s issues are played first by the unseen before they manifest in the scene, hence those who have understanding in spiritual matters always reign supreme in their lives. Satan has nothing new to offer but to thread on the same old tricks, to try and outwit the people of light. Though the Bible says there is nothing new under the sun, yet there are various old stuffs one does not know to make him champion always in God as God want it to be. Our mastering of how are fathers made it and how Satan was defeated will parade us as more than conquerors at the end of every trial or challenges. (Psalm 103:7; Isaiah 51:1-3; Jeremiah 6:16)

There has and still is always reasons behind what we physically go through on earth, but it is only God who knows why. The argument between God and Satan that led to the contest in which Job was the center of it all was not known by Job or any other man on earth, yet Job was tested. In life, students for example are informed of an impending test or Examination. They are given
ample time for preparation and the teachers make sure the students have been taught on syllabus of which the test is about. Dates are given and every student is made completely aware. Yet when God contested with Satan over man’s love and commitment to God, the man (Job) had no idea. Of course, God and Satan were the only ones privy to it all. We of today are privileged because the Bible has been written to grant us guidelines and examples. (1 Cor.10:6) Job had to suffer from a contest he was not aware of, it was behind the scenes; yet it was a sure way for Job to prove his genuine love for the giver. Job had every right to be offended in the Lord,
because God himself said Job was righteous or perfect man who feared God and hated evil man; and Job showed his love and respect for God from the beginning of his ordeal until his
miserable friends who also knew nothing of the contest that went on behind the scene started to condemn, and kill him with their words spoken out of ignorance before his time.

That Contest of Job’s period is still raging on, and it’s alive and kicking as of today, so that our lives on earth as believers are being tested daily to prove our genuine love for God through our
Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. The scripture says of Joseph, “until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him” (Psalm 105:19).

Our victory in life lies in the hands of God and ourselves, not Satan and his cohorts. Our actions, reactions and inactions to the issues of life, if based on the knowledge we have in God will make the end a success for all Believers. The level of information we have in God if believed, will determine our transformation in the Him. Jesus rebuked the wind, which was the unseen force behind the storm, when they were on the sea, before commanding the sea to be still and manifest
peace. (Mark 4:37-40) Let’s have Patience, Study the Word of God, have faith and Confidence in God’s Word at all times, Love God and believe in His love for us, Tithe and Pray always and not faint to deal with the "unseen" because we have been empowered to do so, and the "seen" shall be glorious.
