GOODWILL IS BEYOND MATERIAL THINGS AND MONEY.
WHEN GRACE AND GLORY MERGES, IT IS GOODNESS THAT EMERGES.
YOU CAN’T DOUBT GOD AND SEE HIS GOODNESS.
UPRIGHT LIVING ATTRACTS THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD.
-Pastor Paul Enenche at 2022 Overflowing Grace and Glory Fast, Dunamis International Gospel Centre,
Day Six
Give Him a big clap and a loud shout of praise. Hallelujah!
Psalm 84:11
The Lord bless His Word in Jesus’ name.
Tonight, we shall be looking at:
THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD, which is also our intercessory focus because our year of Overflowing Grace and Glory will translate into our year of Overflowing Goodness from the Lord. Because when grace and glory merges, it is goodness that emerges. Church Gist. That was the scripture says in Psalm 84:11. So, when the grace and the glory are together, good things flow effortlessly “…no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.”
When we talk about the goodness of the Lord, what are talking about?
1). It is the goodwill of the Lord. That is, God wishing you well. God is saying, it is well with you. The goodness of the Lord is a department of the blessing of the Lord, God wishing you well and we have said that goodwill is stronger than witchcraft. Church Gist. If God wishes you well, no man, woman or devil can wish you evil and it will succeed.
2). It is the generosity or magnanimity of the Lord.
3). It is the kindness, the charitableness of God. How kind God is, how charitable He is. We are talking about the God who will not see you suffer and allow you to remain in suffering.
You look through scripture, you see people who experienced this goodness of God.
- Abraham – he was stranded and grounded until God brought him to a point where He showed the world what He could do to the person who was called a nonentity. Church Gist. In Genesis 12:1-5, we saw how God transformed the life of Abraham and in chapter 13:2.
2). Ruth – A widow, barren, stranger in a strange land. God showed her goodness and kindness until the goodness of the Lord deleted every memory of evil she ever had in her life (Ruth 4:1-end).
3). Solomon. He was a product of a wrong relationship between David and the wife of Uriah, the Hittite by the name Bathsheba, yet God overlooked all of that in His mercy and compassion, probably because of how much Solomon would have been hated and gave Solomon His goodness and wealth that was non-comparable in the then world (1 Kings 10:23-24). He exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
The goodness of the Lord, the kindness of the Lord, the generosity of the Lord. When we talk about the goodness of the Lord, it is beyond material things, beyond money. The goodness of the Lord gave Ruth a husband when it was impossible to think of getting married.
The goodness of the Lord gave Abraham a child when it was impossible to think of having a child, that is beyond financial and material explosion.
- In this season, I prophesy the goodness of the Lord is coming for somebody, is coming for a family, a community; is happening for a destiny!
WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT TRIGGER THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD?
1). Faith or belief in God (Psalm 27:13). It is those who believe that see the goodness of the Lord. You can’t doubt God and see His goodness. Church Gist. Abraham was called the father of faith, “…I had fainted, except I believed to see the goodness of the Lord…” To believe is to see. When you believe, you see.
2). The fear of God (Psalm 31:19). Those who fear God have the goodness of the Lord laid up for them. The fear of God is talking about the reverence for God that flows into submission, into worship and adoration.
- Upright living (Psalm 84:11). Not crooked living, there are those who are so crooked, nothing is straight about them, nothing is true about them; they are just so crooked. Church Gist. You need to be upright in life, that is, you say what is true. What we see is what is real, not something else. Upright living attracts the goodness of the Lord.
- Today, you will experience His goodness like never before!
PRAYER:
- Lamentations 3:22-23
Father, thank You for Your goodness and mercies. Thank You Lord for Your help so far in this week of the fast. To You alone be all the praise in the name of Jesus. - Psalm 150:1-2
Father, we thank You for the miracles, signs, wonders and testimonies of the fast so far. Thank You Lord for more testimonies today. To You alone be all the praise in the name of Jesus. - Psalm 84:11, Isaiah 61:9
Father, in this year of Overflowing Grace and Glory, I make demands on Your overflowing goodness in every dimension. Church Gist. I trust that Your goodness shall be visible in every department of my life this year, oh Lord in the name of Jesus. - Psalm 91:10
Father, in this year of Overflowing Grace and Glory, I decree that no evil shall befall me and my family and no plague shall come near our dwelling, oh Lord in the name of Jesus. - Mark 2:1-2
Father, we ask that You manifest Yourself mightily in the third service of Grace and Glory tomorrow. Let the news, let the noise and fragrance of Your presence drag the multitudes unto salvation and discipleship and let not one person return back the same way they came, oh Lord in the name of Jesus. - Lamentations 3:37
Father, we ask that You frustrate the decrees, devices and program of the wicked against our Nation, Nigeria, against our lives. Let only Your decrees and Your design for Nigeria, for our Country, for our lives stand, oh Lord in the name of Jesus.
In Jesus precious name!
FIREFUL DECLARATIONS:
- I prophesy to everyone here today and every family connected, related, associated; there shall be no loss!
- Every spirit of death looking for you, your loved ones and your family; the death is arrested in Jesus precious name!
- We decree judgement on killers, terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and on every supporter, every sponsor, every informant, everyone supplying them ammunition and equipment in the land. The Lord judge them with death and destruction in the name of Jesus!
- Everything belonging to you, anywhere they have kept your marriage certificate, healing result, property documents or degree certificate; I declare they are released now in the name of Jesus!
The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord cause His face to shine upon you and the Lord be gracious unto you from this day and ever more in Jesus’ name.
