THERE IS A CHAPTER 42 IN YOUR LIFE

THERE IS A CHAPTER 42 IN YOUR LIFE

Text:        Job 42:9-10

INTRODUCTION

Every problem has an expiry date.

No matter what you are going through, there is a time when it will end.

It is only God that has no beginning nor end.

Everything that has a beginning always have an end.

Every year has a starting point and an ending point.

Every month has a starting point and an ending point.

Every week has a beginning and an end

Every day has a starting point and an ending point.

I prophesy "every sickness, trouble, problem, affliction in your life shall expire in Jesus name.

I.    WHAT DO I MEAN BY CHAPTER 42?

1. It is the day that God looks to your direction.

Joseph received favour and that was the end of his imprisonment.

3. It is a day God decides to take away your shame and disgrace

     - Jesus stopped for the woman with the issue of blood and her problem of 12 years came to an end,

6. It is a day that God decides to pay you a visit.

        -   Man with legion of demons.

6.   It is a day God turns your sorrow into joy

II.   JOB'S ENCOUNTER

Chapter forty two is a season of change. A season of greater glory.

Job encountered difficult things that would normally make anyone to give up. But he waited patiently for his chapter 42.

Job's wife was ready to become a widow voluntarily because she encouraged her husband to curse God and die.

Job's friends deserted him.  Job 19:13-19

In chapter 1 - he lost all his children and all his wealth.

In chapter 2 - he lost his health

In chapter 3 - he cursed the day he was born.

From chapter 4-41: he experience a season of false accusation, loneliness, confusion, questions without tangible answers and delay.

But thank God the story did not end in chapter 41. Your story will not end in chapter 41.

IN CHAPTER 42:10 God turned the captivity of Job.  Job 42:10.

It was a story of divine restoration.

A chapter of good health, promotion, prosperity, blessings, grace, success, progress, divine intervention, divine visitation, divine acceleration, divine solution etc

It is a chapter of divine restoration to your destiny.

III.  ILLUSTRATIONS

1.  My properties and the church (Assemblies of God Angwan Rogo) where I pastured in Jos, Plateau State were burnt on the 7th of September, 2001 as a result of the religious crisis. I lost all I ever had in life. Today, God has restored everything and turned my life around.

2.  Victor Moses whose parents were killed in Kaduna riot in 2002 when he was 11 years, came back to play for Nigeria after some years and helped the country to win the AFCON 2013 cup. He came to play for a country that made him an orphan at a tender age. Today, he is a celebrity despite the negative things that occurred in his past.

CONCLUSION

No matter what is happening to you now, keep moving towards your destiny.

THE STORY OF JESUS DID NOT END WITH THE CROSS, IT ENDED WITH A CROWN.

Hold on to God, look up. Your life will never end like this.

Your chapter 42 is about to be opened and your restoration will be perfected.
