THE GOODNESS OF GOD

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: THE GOODNESS OF GOD 

SATURDAY JULY 30th

TEXT: PSALMS 136:1-6 
 
Key Verse: Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 
Goodness is one of the attributes of God that has been clearly made manifest in Scriptures. Right from the time of creation, God demonstrated His goodness to man; Adam and Eve, the only creatures whom the Lord made in His own image deliberately disobeyed Him. The immediate consequences of the fall of man were the consciousness of his physical nakedness and the shame thereof, fear of God’s judgment and hiding of self from God. 
God saw that man has brought shame upon himself. He demonstrated His goodness by covering man’s nakedness. However, the goodness and judgment of God go hand in hand. Romans 11:22. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Never take God’s goodness for granted and remain a sinner. He will cut you off from eternal life.
In our text, however, it is obvious that the goodness of God finds expression in His mercy. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness (Lamentation 3:22-23). God renews His mercy plan for unbelievers and backsliders daily and waits patiently for any who will wisely take advantage of this provision to enjoy forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9). 
He foreordained man for salvation and holy living from the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:3-6). God’s protection and preservation of man and much more are all proofs of His goodness. In view of this, you should be able to delete whatever picture of God the devil might have painted in your mind. He painted God as unfair to Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:1-5) but presented himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). God is forever good to you and to all.

Thought for the day: Repent now while the goodness and mercy of God last. 

Song for the day: Oh Lord you have been so good, you are so good to me

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 59-61; Acts 28:16-31

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
