PSALM 23V6
Psalm 23:6
New
King James Version (NKJV)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my
life;
And I will dwell[a] in the house of
the Lord
Forever.
GLORY TO GOD. WE
HAVE REACHED THE LAST VERSE. IN THE PREVIOS VERSES WE HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL
JOURNEY THAT HAS LED US THROUGH THE ENTIRE BIBLE AS EXAMINED THE MAKING OF A
SON. WE ENDED LAST VERSE WITH GOD ANOINTING THE SON AFTER A FEAST, PREPARED BY
GOD HIMSELF IN THE PRESENCE OF THE SON’S ENEMIES. WE LEANT ABOUT THE ROLES OF
BOTH JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE LIFE OF A SON. WE SAW THAT IT IS THE HOLY
SPIRIT WHO ANOINTS THE SON FOR MINISTRY. WE SAW THAT JESUS WILL CHOOSE SOMEBODY
FOR MINISTRY, BUT THE HOLY GHOST GIVES THE GIFTS AND ANOINTS THAT PERSON FOR
MINISTRY.
WE WERE TAUGHT
THAT ALL OF THIS HAPPENS IN THE SECRET PLACE. WITHOUT THE SECRET PLACE THERE IS
NO CHARACTER AND TRAINING FOR LEADERSHIP. THE HOLY SPIRIT DEVELOPS THE FRUIT OF
THE SPIRIT AS YOU SPEND TIME WITH HIM IN THE SECRET PLACE.
NOW AFTER THE
PARTY, THE FEAST PREPARED BY GOD FOR HIS SON THE SON MAKES A DECLARATION, WHICH
SHOWS HE HAS QUALIFIED AND HAS LEANT A LOT ABOUT THE LORD AND ABOUT THE KINGDOM
HE SAYS,
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my
life;
And I will dwell[a] in the house of
the Lord
Forever.
SURELY, WHAT
DOES SURELY MEAN? SURELY IS A FIRM DECLARATION OF SOMEBODY WHO HAS COME TO AN
END OF EVERYTHING AND KNOWS THAT AFTER THIS THERE IS NO MORE. IT’S A SAYING
THAT SAYS IM NOT CHANGING MY MIND AGAIN THIS IS IT. Word Origin
of uncertain derivation, see aken

DAVID SAYS AFTER ALL THIS TEACHING AND TRAINING, AFTER THIS
FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER AND SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, AFTER EXPERIENCING THE ROD
AND STAFF IN ALL ITS USES AND MEANING, HE IS CONVINCED THAT AS A SON HE IS
GOING NOWHERE. HE IS NOW ANCHORED IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FORVER.
DAVID REALISED THAT IF HE CONTINUED WITH THE LORD WITH THIS
RELATIONSHIP IN OBEDIENCE ONLY GOODNESS AND MERCY WILL BE HIS POTION. WHAT IS
GOODNESS THAT DAVID IS CLAIMING WILL BE HIS PORTION?

WHAT DAVID IS SAYING HERE IS THAT ALL THAT IS GOOD AND PLEASANT
IN LIFE WILL FOLLOW HIM, WILL CHASE AND OVERTAKE HIM, BOTH GOOD AND FAVOURABLE
FROM GOD AND MAN. HE SAYS WHAT HE SAID IN PSALM 84. LOOK. Psalm 84:10-12
New King James Version (NKJV)
10
For a day in Your courts is better than a
thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in
the tents of wickedness.
11
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The
Lord will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk
uprightly.
12
O Lord of hosts,
Blessed is the man who
trusts in You!
DAVID DECLARES THAT ONLY THE BEST OF LIFE, IN
LIFE WILL BE HIS PORTION FOREVER. HE THEN SAYS
;
And I will dwell[a] in the house of the Lord
Forever.
WOW,
DAVID REALISED THAT IN GOD THERE IS ALL THAT YOU NEED. YOU DON’T NEED TO EVER
LEAVE. HE DECLARED THAT FOR HIM TO DWELL IN THE HOUSE FOREVER WAS HIS PORTION.
WE LOOKED AT THE WORD DWELL BEFORE AND SOME OF THE WORDS ARE, CONTINUE, TARRY,
LIVE, PERSEVERE, TARBENACLE, CAMP, IT’S A PERMANENT POSITION THAT DENOTES A
MARRIAGE TO THE HOUSE OF GOD, AND TO GOD FOREVER.
AMEN. IS THAT YOU?
IN CONCLUSION LETS LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
YOU DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER? WHAT DO YOU EXPERIENCE?

YOU READ THE MEANING OF COMMUNION AND FELLOWSHIP, AND CONCLUDE THAT YOU HAVE,

ARE
YOU HIS COMRADE, PARTNER IN ALL THINGS. DO YOU HAVE COMMON INTRESTS AND VALUES
AND ATTITUDES.

WHAT IF
YOU ARE LACKING AND YOU DIDN’T KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THIS?. LOOK AT ISAIAH’S
ADVISE.
Isaiah 55
New King James Version (NKJV)
An Invitation to Abundant
Life
55
“Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the
waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and
milk
Without money and without price.
2
Why do you spend money for what is not
bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me,
and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
3
Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your
soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The sure
mercies of David.
4
Indeed I have given him as a witness to
the people,
A leader and commander for the people.
5
Surely you shall call a nation you do not
know,
And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the
Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.”
6
Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
7
Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his
thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our
God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8
“For My thoughts are not your
thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9
“For as the heavens are higher than the
earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your
thoughts.
10
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from
heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth
and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11
So shall My word be that goes forth from My
mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I
please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
12
“For you shall go out with joy,
And be led out
with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall break forth into singing before
you,
And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress
tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be
to the Lord for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut
off.”
SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND. GO TO HIM
FOR HELP. THIS WHOLE BOOK WAS TO ENLIGHTEN YOU TO WHATS EXPECTED OF A LEADER
AND SON, WHEN YOU FALL SHORT CRY OUT TO THE LORD. MAKE IT RIGHT WITH GOD. FIND
THE SECRET PLACE. DWELL THERE. WALK WITH GOD IN AUTHORITY AND OBEDIENCE.
MAY THE LORD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
AMEN.
