The good shepherd's love is so vast and encompassing for all the facets of our lives as the sheep of God in this falling world. Christ Jesus, as the good shepherd, having laid down His life and resurrected in power, has provided for the spiritual and physical actualization of our supernatural potential and in abounding in His divine purpose and providing divine power to drive it and positioning people at every step to support it. This is despite the presence of the enemy of humanity, the thief who came to steal, to kill and to destroy. The principles of the gospel are the keys to its manifestation, while our obedience and diligence in following God, who is, all in all, will bring us to His table of recognition, where He honours us by anointing us for the overflow of spiritual blessings.

The beautiful mystery in God is that the amazing proofs produced by His children are intertwined with the quantum of faith woven into their lives and walks with Him. This is in line with His desire for them to experience a vibrant display of divine evidence, fueled by the depth of their belief in His countless promises. As they eagerly embrace the conditions in His word and fervently long for the fulfilment of those promises, they can truly celebrate the blessings that flow from their faith, alongside their pursuit of His nature of godliness while trusting in His wisdom and ways. The efficacy of this principle was exhibited by the patriarchs of old who, despite their imperfect creed, showed a cogent knowledge of God and were joined to Him by faith, the same bond He requires of us now. For there has never been a different path to be on the upward lane of glory than to move from faith to faith in obedience.
