THE GOODNESS OF GOD
Romans 2:4 NKJV
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
The keystone of our knowledge of the Father must be concentrated on the goodness of God, otherwise we will question His goodness when things don’t work out the way we want it to.
There’s a fight to take hold of the sheer goodness of God, a fight to contend for the goodness of God, notwithstanding of the forces pressing against us, trying to make us doubt His character, will and purpose for us.
The riches of His goodness is referring to God’s character towards a man. So when God displays His riches towards a sinner, what the sinner experiences is His goodness. The Lord doesn’t treat us the way we are but the way He is.
Isaiah 59:19a says - So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun.
The fear of the Lord comes by the Revelation of His goodness.
We have seen in our world today war, chaos, distresses and perplexities, wars and rumours of wars, and some may conclude that disaster must always happen to make people fear the Lord. But in the last days, the people shall fear the Lord because of His goodness.
Many will begin to be exposed to the realities of His kindness, generosity and liberality that pours out of the father’s heart and this exposure will create a premise that engenders faith against the influence of fear and apprehension drawing them into intimacy with the Lord.
Let’s Pray: Dear Father, thank You for the riches of your extraordinary kindness towards me. Thank You for the liberality of the wealth of Your extraordinary generosity afforded to melt my heart and lead me into repentance.
I contend for Your goodness today and take a stance to believe right, love right, and trust you rightly.
In Jesus matchless name, Amen.
