Job 1:8
_And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?_
Principles are standards set by men to define the boundaries of their characters. So, a man’s principles ultimately determine his character, and his character eventually determines his actions.
As dear children of God, called out of darkness into light, we ought to walk daily in the new light we have been brought into by renouncing the works of darkness and going even further to cultivate the attitude of abstaining from evil as a principle. Job was a very good example of such a man in the Scriptures, as our opening text shows us that he feared God and (therefore) hated evil as a principle.
Now, take a moment to consider this: What principles are you fondly known for in your community or social circles? Can you be described as someone who “fears God” and “hates” evil? So, just as Jesus admonished, let your light begin to shine before men, that they may see your good works (and how much you detest evil), and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16). Halleluyah!
Prophecy 1: Receive grace to hate and abstain from evil daily in Jesus name.

Startup Prayer: Dear Father, I ask that my lifestyle and character will bring glory to Your name in Jesus name.
Thank you my Prophet for yet another powerful devotional 🙌🏾. To abstain from evil, means to fear God. Because God hates evil, so when we fear him and know what he hates, we would automatically hate it also. Also it’s important to set a good principle for ourselves that would generate a good character and cause our actions to be good also. That would give us a Christ like identity and separate us from the world. Help me to be like Job Lord, and give me grace to abstain and hate evil everyday of my life… Amen.
God bless you Sir
