Wow...did you miss the point of those scriptures.
Job's friends had given him bad advice and false teachings while Job was suffering.
God, being decidedly upset with them, said that unless they made a burnt offering, and allowed Job to pray for them, He wouldn't accept their prayers.
THEN all of Jobs friends and relatives (that were still alive) returned to him and brought him gifts. God didn't command them to give gifts to Job, they just did because they felt sorry for all the loss and pain he had gone through.
This is not the same thing as paying a pastor. Not even close.
JOB42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: ....
I think you are missing the key part: God released Job from captivity when he prayed for friends thus showing that he forgave them. Jesus thought this was so important, He made it a part of the Lord’s Prayer.
These Osteen bashing threads are chock full of folks who just can’t forgive him for having money, a beautiful wife and a big congregation. When Simon Peter asked Jesus what was going to happen to John, Jesus told him is was none of Peter’s business. Jesus could do anything He wanted with John.
Similarly, what Jesus does with any of us is His business. We are saved by His Grace and not anything we could do. That is the one payment for working in the vineyard. However, Jesus also told us that our reward in Heaven was dependent on what we did in this world with what He gave us.
We are in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. The Rev 12:1-3 signs have occurred. The “tamid”, whatever that is, was taken away on Tishri 1 thus starting the 1290 day clock to the Abomination that causes Desolation. The Sign of Jonah is complete, and America didn’t repent. So on the day after the 40 days of warning we had the “pure evil” of the largest mass shooting in recent American history in “sin city”. California is on fire. The Mississippi is so dry over the New Madrid fault that barge traffic is severely restricted. Soon is will take a day’s pay to buy a loaf of bread.
All this is going on, and these people are still coveting Joel Osteen’s things. What will it take to wake them up to the signs of the times?
