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 ...

YOU ARE A GOOD SEED  By Elizabeth I. Abaye Oftentimes, when things are not going in our direction or in the way we expected.... When life becomes rough and unbearable people begin to think that something is wrong with them or that they have been given bad destiny. This is the reason many pray for God to change their destiny.... They even sing it in worships. They tend to forget that they are God's creation and His dear children and all that God made is good and his seed is in all his children. There's none made or born with defected destiny... You are perfectly made with a marvelous destiny. Now look at what the scripture says about the good seed, He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;  Matthew 13:37‭-‬38 (KJV), Are you Born Again? then you have the seed of the glorious God  in you because you're His dear c...

 KEEPING THE RIGHT COMPANY  By Elizabeth I. Abaye  1 Corinthians 15:33 says, "Don't be deceived, bad company corrupts good character." (CEB)  The people you hangout with, and spend time with matters in life and can affect your purpose positively or negatively.  You are born to be great but you can't achieve greatness by spending time with the scornful, the unserious minded people. Keeping the right kinds of company will add value to your life.  They are many who get inspiration from God that would have taken them to their estate of greatness but because they have been mingling with the wrong set of  people, they are not able to put their God given ideas to work.  Every time spent with those who are not doing any relevant thing to move their life forward to the next level is a waste of your potential. And for every wasted time you lost, you are losing great opportunity and money. You need to put your potentials to work so you can achieve purpose an...
