We will see the goodness of God in the land of the living. Again I say, we will see the goodness of God in the land of the living. Surely, surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
God is calling special chosen ones to launch a legacy of goodness and mercy, which will lasts for thousand generations. Surely, our God will show mercy, grace, favor to thousands, to those who love Him and keep His commandments. (Exodus 20:6) Friends, after PROMOTION, goodness of God should continue on till infinity. As our hearts bow down in awe before this God of consuming fire, and by His GRACE, it is possible we do not fall into sins later on nor suffer any sicknesses any more. I am saying by His GRACE, through our faith and application of wisdom, it is possible we allow this life of goodness to abide forever. We do not have to be like David, failing at a certain point after promotion. Instead, we can choose to be like Job and Joseph, who sustain God’s goodness to the fullness of their days.
Let us first take a look at Job. Compared to the one and only one year’s suffering, God’s goodness lasts for 210 years. Through that one year’s suffering, Job suffered many terrible losses: from the stealing of animals to the murdering of his servants; from the losing of loved ones to the physical suffering of painful boils from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head. When the time of restoration came, the Lord indeed gave Job twice as much as he had before. The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning. The bible did not say Job fall into sins later on. Nor did he suffer any more sicknesses. All we can see is goodness of God permeated him and his household. He saw his children and grandchildren for 4 generations. So he died, old and full of days.
There was another biblical precedent who retained God’s goodness even after his promotion. Joseph’s suffering last for 23 years. (From 17 years old –30 years old) During this time, he was betrayed by his own family members and most of his time was “spent” in prison. During those days, he told God and himself, “I will forever remember your kindness if you would deliver me from my affliction.” Later on, we all knew he was promoted and stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. He ruled and distributed resources for the whole land of Egypt. Just as the blessings his father bestowed on him, Joseph was fruitful, strong, and mighty. Blessings of heaven and blessings of the deep continued to shower upon him and his family for the rest of his life. The blessings of his father had excelled the blessings of his ancestor up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills.( Genesis 49:22-26)
Deep in Joseph’s heart, he kept his vow to God. He never repaid his brother’s evil deeds, even after his father’s death. He spoke kindly to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant for good, in order to save many people’s lives.” He even comforted them and said, “I will provide for you.” Can you imagine? He will provide for his enemies! Such a heart of true forgiveness deserves a lifetime of God’s goodness and beyond. Again, no where in the bible mentioned that he fell into sins nor suffered any sicknesses later on. He lived 110 years. He saw Ephraim’s child to the third generation. Even the son of Manassah were brought up on Joseph’s knees.
As a matter of fact, God did promise David PEACE at all sides after his promotion. Nevertheless, David in 2 Samuel Ch11 forgot God’s mercy. Just like Nathan’s words, David despised the commandment of the Lord and did evil in His sight. See, God requires more of His chosen servants. He wants his 5-fold ministers to set a godly example for his church and for the world. By His sovereign act of mercy, He finally raises us up and delivers us from all trials. He promises a hedge of protection all the days of our lives. People of God, it is all grace. If we would cultivate a humble spirit, God would even give us much more! (2 Sam12:8) Do not forget His sovereign act of mercy! Do not go and sin secretly and take advantage of your power and position! Men and Women of God, God is raising up revivalists who will not fall later on. God is approving certain chosen ones who will be used mightily by God in the last days and continue His goodness for thousand generations. They will not succumb to any kind of immorality. Nor will they suffer any physical sicknesses. The glory of God abide in their midst. They remember their trials in prison. Their hearts are filled with gratitude. Their tongue will not sin and they apply WISDOM on every level of their success. That is why together with these peculiar ones of the coming army of God, heroes in Hebrews 11 will finally be made perfect.
These unique ones had been tested and tried like Joseph, molded and remolded like Moses, purified and refined like Daniel. Their sincere desire is the fulfillment of promises and the descending of the long awaited revivals that had been prophesized. They just want to glorify God and see His church be presented to God as glorious, not having spot, wrinkle or any such thing, holy and without blemish.
So, Men and Women of God, today, make an honest decision. Do you want to be like David? Or do you prefer to be Joseph? By God’s grace and mercy, through a humble and contrite heart, we are ABLE to obey God radically, even to the ends of the earth. When He looks down from the throne, will He find faithful and loyal servants whom He can entrust with revival power? Can He raise you up now as His ambassador? Can He use you now to spark revivals, exhibit miracles and enflame the world? Can He finally release this unprecedented level of greater glory to the earth?
