An overflow of goodness – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” (Psalm 23:6)
Dear friend, today’s promise of God is from Psalm 23:6, “Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” In Indian translation it says goodness and love shall follow you all the living days i.e days of life. Yes, Christ gives us days of life. This world gives us days of death, wicked days, days of oppression, days of evil, days of jealousy but Jesus Christ gives us days of life. Jesus says, “in this world you will have days of tribulation but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. I am the life and I am the resurrection. Whoever believes in Me shall not die, but shall have everlasting life.” That is the power of God, the power of Jesus.

Jesus is full of life and He wants to come and live inside of you. Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world. So Jesus will pour His life into you and as you receive Him, you will receive life. Just thank the Lord today saying, “Lord, thank You for being my life.” No death of the world can touch you. No sin, no wicked people, no jealousy and no arrow of the devil can ever touch you because there is life in you and that life is Jesus. The life Jesus Christ will destroy the works of the devil. So confess it and you will come alive from all the problems that bring death into your soul, family and life and you will live.
Jesus says, “because I live you will live also.” When this lifegiver Jesus Christ is allowed to reign in your soul, He will bring goodness and grace in your life. God will then crown you with goodness all the days of your life. When does this crown come upon your life? According to Ephesians 6:2,3, “Honor your father and mother”-which is the first commandment with a promise so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth,” so honour your parents and it will go well with you. Similarly, husbands honour your wives and wives honour your husbands as the image of God and when you honour each other, goodness will overflow in your life. Claim this blessing in your life giving thanks to the Lord.
Prayer:
Loving Lord,

You are the lifegiver so come into my heart and resurrect my life and make it abound with Your goodness and grace. Let there be no more attacks of the devil and let me face no more temptations. Let everything that brings death into my life be stripped away from my life. Let every blessing flow into my life.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
