THE LAMP DEVOTION
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23
YOU WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH
Job 8:5-7
Job here talks about earnestly seeking God and making your supplication to Him. This was a man of great experience in waking with God. We know that because God Himself testified of Job, which actually was the beginning of the hardship he went through. He had known God to be true. He had learned that God ends whatever He starts on behalf of His children, especially those who fear Him, and He does it in grand style.
Job draws our attention to little beginnings that in the natural may hold no great promises or hopes for the future. Incidentally God works with little beginnings. He never starts anything big in anyone’s life. He gives gradual increase till His work is fully done. This is what Job also learned in what he went through, when he did not even know the reason why he went through it.
Then he drops the big bomb. Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end shall increase abundantly. This is a futuristic declaration, and Job must have had enough certainty in his heart to make such a declaration. Of course, we know that he had twice what he lost, except the number of children, and even in that, his daughters were fairer (more beautiful) than all other girls in his day.
Why won’t he have the last laugh, he certainly will. Take a cue from the great saint of old. If you follow God faithfully, you will always have the last laugh.
Prayer
1. Thank God for consistency in making all things go well for you at the end.
2. Pray for faith to continue trusting God and walking faithfully with Him no matter what.
3. Father, please give me the patience to wait for the fullness of Your work in my life.
Declarations
I acknowledge God’s commitment to giving me eventual victory and success in all things. Whatever I see now will not deter me, because I know that even if currently things look difficult, I shall eventually have the last laugh. My enemies shall not mock me forever. My time is coming and God will make it happen in the name of Jesus.

YOU WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH
Job 8:5-7
If you would earnestly seek God And make your supplication to the Almighty, 6 If you were pure and upright, Surely now He would awake for you, and prosper your rightful dwelling place. 7 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
