Divine Perfection

By Sis Olamide Oladejo

Divine perfection is the spiritualized in the energy of God, God is really at work on our behalf. There is the full assurance that He will be at work to complete that which HE has commenced.

Whether it is visible or not, the reality is that all human beings have one challenge or the other. When we talk about perfection in our lives, we are usually coming from a background that something is imperfect and needs to be perfect.

What does the Holy Bible say? Psalm 138:8 “The Lord will perfect that which concerneth   me, thy mercy, o Lord, endureth forever: forsake not work of thine own  hands”. Here, the Psalmist appreciates that he is the creation of Jehovah Elyon (the God of creation) just like you and I.

Therefore we  have a duty to remind God to perfect  His work in our lives, but because  we know that we may have taken steps that have worked against what we desire or some evil forces might have vowed that our joy will not be full, we need to ask for the mercy of the LORD just like the psalmist.

Did God pause in the middle of creation? NO, so whatever He starts, He will not leave it or suffer it to be marred. Phil 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus”

God is concerned about every details of our lives not only because He knows everything but also because He loves us and wants us to experience what is best for us. Halleluyah.

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed.

Shalom.

A Mercy

By Bro. Gabriel Bamgbose

Mercy is an attribute of God. It is one way God manifests Himself to us and one dimension He makes Himself known to us.

And in fact it is His divinity and miraculous pact with his creations. When we consider the registers of mercy, we find goodness, love, kindness, grace, generosity, thankfulness, forgiveness, and in fact  salvation and provision.

This means that  to obtain mercy from God is to embody the  fullness of His diverse manifestations. And of course, the nature of  God’s mercy is that it is multitude, infinite and everlasting.

But we should pay  attention to the singularity of “a mercy”. When we obtain a mercy from God, what do we do with it?

The Psalmist proclaims: “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits” Psalm 103:2. A clear injunction to forget not His mercy!

The forgetfulness of a mercy is a grand obstacle to many of His everlasting mercies we should have received. Our God reigns in the abundance of mercies.

 As we validate a mercy by telling its glorious tale through the words of our testimonies and the continuance of our thanks and praises in the fullness of joy, we receive mercies.

May we experience God in the fullness of His mercies!

You will have good success this 2016.

 Remain blessed.

Shalom.
