 *GOODNESS AND MERCY*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  20 March 2025: Share*


SCRIPTURE: Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever - *Psalms 23:6* 


*We have a great journey ahead of us -  the Journey of a New Year*


In our text above, when there was a Journey ahead of David, a man after God's Own Heart, he decreed that surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow him all the days of his. life.


According to *Job 22:28:* As he made the decree, it was established unto him and several blessings followed him:


(1) Fearless Living.


When the Goodness and the Mercy of the Lord followed David, he lived a fear free life.


He said in *Psalms 27:1:* Of whom shall l fear? Of whom shall l be afraid? 


Therefore, in *1 Samuel 17,* when the whole of Israel feared Goliath greatly and hid themselves from him, it was only David that was courageous enough to face Goliath. 


*In these "Year", you will live a fear free life.*


*2 Timothy 1:7 says:* God has not given us the Spirit of fear but of Power, of Love and of a Sound Mind.


(2) He enjoyed a life of Defence.


With Goodness and Mercy following, the Lord hid David in His Pavilion and in the Secret of His Tabernacle in the time of trouble - *Psalms 27:5*


Therefore, the two occasions that Saul cast his Javelin against David, the Lord defended David - *1 Samuel 18 : 10-11 & 1 Samuel 19: 9-10*


*The Goodness and Mercy of the Lord will defend us against all the evils of the "Year" in Jesus Name - Amen.* 


(3) Life full of Testimonies. 


David shared his Powerful Testimonies in *Psalms 40:1-3.*


*His Testimonies include:*


(a) Testimony of Answered Prayers - *Psalms 40:1*


(b) Testimony of Deliverance from the Horrible Pit and Miry Clay - *Psalms 40:2*


*He was brought out of the Unpleasant Situations of life.*

  

(c) His feet was set on a Rock - *Psalms 40:3*


*He was saved from sinking, he was saved from anti-progress forces. An end came to the wasters in his life.*


(d ) His Going was Established - *Psalms 40:3*


*He enjoyed Unhindered Success. His Progress was Speedy and Steady.*


(e) Testimony of New Songs - *Psalms 40:3:* 


*With Goodness and Mercy following, Fallow Grounds shall be broken and New Songs of Joy will break forth.*

 

*With all these Wonders of Goodness and Mercy, David decided to sustain these blessings* - *Psalms 26:1,11*


*He will not be Hypocritical in his Journey, he will not hide his sin. He made up his mind that as he Journeys, he will bless the Lord at all times.*


*Prayer:* 

Father, Please in the Great Journey ahead of me and my family, let us enjoy Your Goodness and Your Mercies in Jesus Christ Name.
