THE UNDENIABLE GOODNESS AND MERCY OF GOD
Thought for the day: If not for God's goodness and mercy, man would have been mesmerized by the devil and never recover from it.
Message:
The goodness and mercy of God are too evident and real to be denied by anyone. As a matter of fact, it is only a man without the fear of God that will not attest to the fact that God is good and that His mercy endures forever. He made a good plan for man, the plan was such that man would live His life in Godly pleasure and intimate fellowship with Him but man fell. A loving God was not happy, however, He made a way for a man out of the mess, though it cost Him His only begotten Son, whom He used as a ransom for the man so as to reconcile and reposition him to the original plan He made for Him.
The exciting part is that His goodness and mercy endure forever, if it had stopped for a generation, this present generation would not have benefitted from it.
It takes a good and merciful God to daily load benefits for our good, the sufficient air that you breathe in, the rain upon the land for food, the sunlight, the moon, protection, provisions, healing, deliverances and lots more.
The goodness and mercy of God can never be exhausted, let there be no hesitation in ensuring you are enjoying the full dose of it daily.
Conclusively, it is worthy of note to know that the goodness and mercy of the Lord are meant to be following God's Children as they journey in life once they remain in the will and pursuit of God.
My Counsel
Ø Never cease to acknowledge the goodness and mercy of God in your life.
Ø Ensure you do not take the goodness and mercy of God for granted in all you do because as merciful as God is, he can also be dangerous if taken for granted.
Ø Always be on the LORD's at all times, daily seeking him and you would see goodness and mercies following you all the days of your life.
Declaration
Father, I acknowledge your goodness and mercy over my life and all that pertains to me.
I repent of all areas I have taken your goodness and mercy for granted.
I receive grace to always live for God as I see goodness and mercy following me in Jesus' Name.
