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 have life and so that they will have everything they need”. (John 10:10). GOD'S WORD Translation.

Now; haven established what goodness is, we need to understand that God also want us to have His mercy abiding with us all through life.

What is mercy?
Mercy means kindness, compassion, and unfailing love. The Lord has promised us in his word, “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.” Isaiah 54:10. Glory, hallelujah!!!!! Beloved his unfailing love for you is eternal.

It’s very important that we understand that the promise of God's goodness and unfailing love does not mean a challenge free life, however, because the rock that bears us never fails neither is there shadow of turning with Him, we are not consumed by challenges; rather in every challenge we are able to come out victoriously. For God will always work all things out for our good. [Romans 8:28]

The “all things” which God causes to work together for our ultimate good also includes challenges, the attacks that Satan brings our way to want to destroy us of which God turns to our good and glorificationglorification

Anyone who are GRACED in GOODNESS & MERCY can never remain the same  as He  turns their mourning into Joy,  Poverty turns to Prosperity, Sickness becomes Divine health, darkness becomes light,  Praying becomes easy & Thanksgiving becomes sweet.

Certainly, no one encounters GRACE and remains the same. Anyone says they are In Christ & has not changed after encountering GRACE then it was’nt GRACE they met.

COME UP HITHER

COME UP HITHER And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Revelation 11:12 KJV The call of the Spirit of God is always to a Higher Place, to see more, to know more, to receive more and to be more in God. The Christian Life by design is one of ever increasing glory ..... No glory is ever enough, we are to Go Up Hither for more glory because it is always from one level of glory unto another. 2Corintians 3:18 says, But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Similarly, in Proverbs 4:18 we are told, But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day . There is always more and more and more for us to grasp in Christ but for us to get them, we must Go Up Hither. It is in the place of Going Up Hither

BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW  GROUND Jeremiah 4:3, “Break up your fallow ground, And do not sow among thorns." Just like farmers have to prepare the ground to bear fruit, we must prepare ourselves to receive from God this year. We must be ready for greater glory. The expression, “Break up your fallow ground" means, to prepare your minds to bring forth fruit unto God. To break off your bad habits; clear junks from your hearts, work on your attitude, take away hatred, bitterness, lust, and greed. These are thorns that has been chocking your seeds, preventing them from germinating, and growing to maturity to producing fruits. In our passage, Jeremiah makes the people to understand that if they do not "Break up their fallow ground They will be sowing among thorns."  In other words, they will sow seed, but because they didn't bother to prepare the soil and pull out the thorns, the seed will have little or no effect.  You can't keep being the s

WHEN GOD IS YOUR SOURCE

Add caption WHEN GOD IS        YOUR            SOURCE Psalm 84:11, says: “No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” At the time when I and my family were going through some very difficult time, a period when all hopes was lost, and all was gloomy it seemed as though God has forgotten us and that God does not give good things to His children.  But in the midst of it all, we never lose our trust in God, we continued to ask of Him in prayers that our situation may change and He did not disappoint us. We made Him our source of supply for every need, we trusted Him for every detail of our life and we are still doing that till date. This is because we have come to know that God gives the best and His gifts has eternal value and anything the world didn't give you, it can't take from you. But whatever the world gives you does not have eternal value and it can be taken away. Thus we made God our source. Beloved, you also can do the same, let God be your sour
