GRACED WITH GOODNESS AND MERCY. Jesus gave himself for us as a ransom so that we may have the right kind of life that God has ordained for us before the foundation of the world. What kind of life is it that we are talking about? It is His “Good life” (GOODNESS). David said , “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life…” [Psalm 23:6a]  The word, ‘surely’ in Psalm 23:6 means, ‘certainly’. It’s 100% guaranteed. It is undisputable that God’s goodness and mercies will always be there with you. When God promises us that goodness and mercies will follow us all the days of our lives, it means every day, in our entire or whole life that what will continually be with us are His goodness and mercy. This is our portion in Christ. What is goodness?  Goodness in this verse means “a life filled with good things, beauty, and favour.” It also means fortune, riches, abundance prosperity or wealth. No wonder Jesus said, “But I came so that my sheep will hav...

GOD WILL MAKE A WAY Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;  Isaiah 43:16-19   These words by Don Moen came to mind as am writing this: God will make a way  Where there seems to be no way; He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me. Truly  God always makes a way for His people. Sometimes when we are going through some tough times in life, we tend to forget that God will make a way of escape. We forget the record of Scripture, that God has never forsaken His people, and that in the darkest of hours He has always made a way. You may be facing a dead end right now and you feel helpless and are loosing hope and giving up. Everything around you may look gloomy and difficult and you can't seem to see a way out, but if you will trust God and keep on moving in faith, even when you don’t see a way, he will make a way. At the time you feel that you can’t go any further, when you are pr...

WONDERFULLY MADE " I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalm 139:11. God is a great Designer he has designed you so uniquely and made you valuable, thus your tremendous worth is more than you can imagine. You are not a mistake, you are not inferior, you are a special specie made to reveal the glory of God and to glorify Him. You are not ordinary, you are more than who you see in the mirror, you are so precious and valuable, you are God's unique child made in the image and likeness of God. You are loaded, yes so loaded with greatness: thus GREATNESS IS IN YOU. God has created us in such wisdom, power, and glory, the only proper response we can give to him is to appreciate who we are and praise, honour and glorify His name. Therefore no matter the situations that may be surrounding you, just stay positive and refuse to allow it to cast you down knowing who you are and who...
