And the Lord said unto Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and eschews evil?
And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.
Then says he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
That you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and have translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions,or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure:Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Job 1:8;Matt. 10:13;Matt 10:37-38;Matt 22:8;Rom. 8:18;Col 1:10-18;2 Thes. 1:4-12
Why do we murmur and complain when tribulation arise because of the word? God is TRULY faithful, God promised you blessings not cursings, Whom God loves he chastens, if you be dead with Christ, seek those things that are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God, God wants you to wear the robe of righteousness formost, being clothed being hot and on fire for the Lord, Amen.
