Pastor's Pen
..... from Home Page
- His Omnipresence gives victory and protection – v4
There are times in which the sheep wanders of from the presence of the shepherd.
David knew this very well. He wandered away when he went into Bathsheba. He was as it were in the valley of the shadow of death. He had promised death upon himself unknowingly (2 Samuel 12:5) but God was still with him.
Look I am encouraging sin but God, the God that I serve will never abandon you because you sinned.
He delivers from the cruel sword of sin and gives the victory over judgment.
The power of sin is broken over your life today in Jesus name.
You will never wander away from the Lord’s direction again in Jesus name.
The rod of correction redirects the sheep from wandering while the staff of the shepherd reveals the authority of the shepherd over invading army of beasts.
This brings comfort to us that we still under the dominion of God.
Is it not comforting that the shepherd never abandons his sheep no matter what happens? The sheep is all that the shepherd have.
He left the 99 to look for the 1 that wandered away.
You will not wander away from into the place of death.
- He will settle you v5
God will always proof the enemy wrong. The plan of the enemy is that we will suffer and die of hunger and be nobodies, but our good Shepherd has a different plan of life and abundant life for us.
Look, I like the humor of God. He allows the enemy to live long so that they can see the love and beauty of His kingdom.
Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).
Your weeping end today in the name of Jesus. You are entering your season of joy unspeakable and full of glory.
Victory is sweet when the enemy is alive. You see when your enemies see the good things they thought will never happen in your, they begin a lifetime of sorrow, depression, and angst because they have been put to shame.
God will make you sit by the table He has prepared for you before the foundation of the world in Jesus mighty name.
The only enemy that will not see it is the one that have ever said “over my dead body.” Such enemy will not live to see the goodness of the Lord in your life.
- The good Shepherd empowers His sheep – 4
The purpose of the anointing is to empower for purpose. When God anointed someone, the person is fortified to fulfill destiny.
The oil is poured on the head so that it can flow to the body.
When Jesus came out of the banks of the Jordan river, the heavens open and the Holy Spirit came upon His head not his feet not his belly but His head so it could flow through His body.
On the day of Pentecost, the heavens opened, and the anointing rested upon the heads of the 120 unrepentant and committed disciples.
The head is the center of a person destiny. It is the only part of the body that cannot be replaced or transplanted.
It is the secretariat of a person’s life where decisions are made.
The head is the representation of a person. It is the part of the body that can be counted and can be called for destruction or promotion.
Your head is anointed today in the name of Jesus.
That was why Balak could not get Baalam to curse Israel. God had anointed His sheep before the enemy came.
Israel had been anointed and blessed before Balak asked for their destruction.
Receive new oil upon your head right now from the Lord our Shepherd in Jesus name.
That anointing oil in the New Testament is the presence of the Holy Spirit.
- The Lord our Shepherd give overflowing blessings – v5
Our Shepherd’s plan is that we touch other lives.
“My cup runs over.” If it does not run over, it is still by your strength. Our Shepherd always gives more than we ever needed.
If what you have right now is not touching other lives, you need to press in for more. We are saved and delivered for others salvation and deliverance.
I decree running over blessings upon your life right now in Jesus name.
- His Presence guarantees confidence – v6
Because of the presence of the shepherd, the sheep is aware that nature of the Shepherd is ever present.
God talking with Moses in Exodus 34:6, says: “The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.”
God was telling Moses here, listen my servant, “I am the I am that I say I am. I am Yahweh Adonai. I am full of mercy (I can identify with you and forgive repentant heart. I am abundant in goodness. You can never exhaust my goodness.
David experienced the mercies and the goodness of God; hence he was confident that these attributes of God will always follow him and overtake him all the days of his life.
We have a surer word of this proclamation in the New Testament times with the finished work of Jesus on the cross of Calvary.
Because He elevates His word more than His name, His goodness and mercy shall never depart from us for He has said: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)
- The Commitment – v6
All these 10 benefits of making Jesus our Shepherd can only be accessed by dwelling in His presence every day.
.. "acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness" (Titus 1:1)
