FOR YOU TO SHINE YOU MUST CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING

Proverb 3: 3- 4 “ Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: ⁴ So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.”

When you allow mercy and truth to be with you, you become wise before God, meaning that you can make yourself wise and when God look at you He says this is what I want. Don’t allow anything to corrupt your mercy and truth because when you have them you become favoured and wise before God and people.

God always looks and give people the following four things and when you have them you have the glory of God

• Grace
• Blessing
• Peace
• Life 

If you have those four you have the eternity and heaven is yours.

Grace. We are saved by grace and we will get to heaven by grace, so without grace there is no salvation and eternity. Grace is favour you get from God. You cannot get grace without mercy, remember Jesus once answered people that He wants mercy and not offering. Mercy is the way you do things to please someone so that he can give you favour. Everyone can do something to receive mercy because mercy is created in us but grace is only from God.  In grace is where there is worship. Grace is what is given to someone by God so that you can access His presence.

In mercy is where the wisdom of God lies, that is why He says if you are fallen short of wisdom you should pray because everyone must have mercy if they want to get to heaven and do His will.

Psalm 16:11 “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

This means that you receive grace after exercising your mercy. When you show mercy is how you get the grace. In mercy is where the love of God is. Mercy is giving yourself by demolishing yourself and put God first. When you accept to be insulted and abused as it says in Romans 12: 1 because of God and be truthful which is faithfulness, God will give you grace.

Psalm 45: 7 “Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

Hating evil is what is called the truth. Mercy of God is how you give yourself and when you do so you are telling God I am tired with the old things and I want new things, new life. When you allow mercy in your life, it means you are allowing a new seed to appear in you, which is the Word of God. All things you know are old thing and what you don’t know are the new thoughts and the one to give you those new things is the One who lives forever.  When you take the Word and put it in your heart, it prevents you from sinning and it become light to show you where to go.

2 Corinthians 5: 17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

When God sees you loving mercy and hating evil, He comes and pours on you oil which is a mark and you will be glad more than others. That gladness is what brings riches and riches comes with a good mind which comes from God.

When you are accepted before God because of how you offer yourself, you will be glad in your heart but when you are rejected because you have not offered yourself faithfully before God, you will start having evil thoughts on your neighbour. If you don’t do well will you not find favour? When you do well you will receive favour and people will begin to see grace in you and they will feel joy when they see you.

You will receive the truth by meditating the law (Word) of the Lord day and night.

Psalm 1: 2 “But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”                                                                                                                         

When you have mercy and truth you will receive grace from God and the blessing will start.

Psalm 1: 3 “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”

The person will start to be surrounded by water which is the Holy Spirit and multiple fruits will start as you continue to be in mercy and truth. There will be no life of struggle anymore because blessings will start flooring onto you. But first hate words that embarrass you Jesus and your servant and that will help you to see eternity when the day comes.

Truth brings sound mind to you, that’s why He says you will have favour and a sound mind. The favour (which is grace) He gives you is for you to do all things without being hindered and a sound mind is given to you for you to be rich and maintain what He has given you to be sustainable and last. What God has given you will not be kept by prayers but with a sound mind.

Mercy and truth will enable you to get great things, you will receive grace, blessing and thirdly you will receive peace. Peace will help you to be secured. When you have peace, there is no creature that will be able to judge you, accuse you or destroy you. When you have the peace of God you will have a good ending and you will not die prematurely.

Peace is what allows healing to get unto you and without peace there is chaos and where there is chaos there is no healing. When you see you are praying for someone and there is no healing, know that the heart has no peace. Peace is the one that will allow you to receive the protection of God. Peace is a sign for multiplication of what you have, so peace is what brings prosperity.

Psalm 126: 5- 6 “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. ⁶ He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”

When you sow a seed in pain, which is mercy, you will receive grace and peace which will help you to harvest. When David was in leadership it was a time of tears because he found grace and favour from God and won all the battles but never had peace in his life because he was sowing and Solomon reap and God told Solomon that peace shall dwell in him. The day is coming when the Prince of peace will dwell in you. The goodness of peace is to make those who are against you to surrender to you and bring you gifts.

Why peace? Is to cause people to see the glory of God in you. Peace comes with the wisdom of God and His riches, according to Ecclesiastes 7: 13.

Eternal life.  This comes out of the Word, where God allows you to understand and use His Word. God gives eternal life to those who have grace and truth to allow them to have fellowship with divine things. Eternal life gives those people victory in all things that is why the bible says I can do all things through Him who strengthen me because of the Word of God in you.

1 John 5: 4 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith”  

You were born by God when you begin to walk in mercy and from that time when you hear what I teach, you become victorious because you have the eternal life.

John 1: 1, 3- 5 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not”

Everything is possible to anyone with eternal life and whatever they say will come to happen according to the authority of the eternal life. To get the eternal life there are five stages as it elaborated in Hebrews 6. Eternity is to make you have authority over the works of devil.

There are things you will never have authority over them until you reach the five stages in Hebrew for the things of grace, riches and eternity to be revealed in you.
