*Text:* Psalm 23:6
6  Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalms 23:6

Psalm 23:6
[6] Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.

I'll be charging us with the Word of God we are all familiar with and we say always.
I know we all say this verse sometimes 3 or more times a day.
Let's start with the very first word: *SURELY.*
Which means 》》

Without fail.

Certainly, undoubtedly.

With confidence.

Physically secure and certain, non-failing, reliable.
When we say surely, that settles it!
That assurance is from someone that can never fail.
The confidence in saying those words has a seal that shouldn't be doubted.
As a believer when you're sure of something, it's backed up.

Let's have a look at it this way:
Surely after Monday comes a Tuesday.
Surely when you buy a ball for a boy he must kick it whether he can play or not.
Surely when it's 9pm its night.
Surely is a seal for a believer we need to exercise in Christ Jesus.
The Name of Jesus is a seal that's sure and bankable.
The reliable is sure and that's our Lord Jesus Christ.
If we have Jesus surely goodness and mercy follow us everywhere.
If we have Jesus every situation should bow because they have expiry date.
The expiration is the surely I'll overcome you.
No matter the situation we are, Surely we will overcome because Christ promised us and once God said it, that settles it.
Weeping may endure for a night surely Joy comes in the morning because Jesus sealed the joy.
Waiting in the place of prayer or waiting for a breakthrough may seem longer but there's a seal of surely you'll sing a new song.
Surely your health challenge is receiving wholeness.
Your marital woes is  turning to bliss.
Your marital breakthrough is happening.
Your career is taking upward turn.
Surely your debt is being paid.
Surely that appointment is in your favour.
Surely that relocating is to your land of favour.
Surely your womb is carrying  your baby.
Surely your fears are disappearing.

*Sis Florence:* Surely there is an end to every situation.

*Sis Queeneth:* Surely that sickness isn't taking your life because you're fulfilling purpose.
Surely your ministry is receiving fruitfulness.
Surely you're getting that grade for your supernatural promotion in your academics.
Surely that idea that will change your life is beginning to drop.
Surely your mind is beginning to work in the way God fashioned it.
If only you have confidence and seal it with Christ! That once He has said it that has sealed it!

*Sis Florence:* Surely He has taken away our sorrows.

*Sis Queeneth:* I don't know the area you are casting your own surely but are you sure of your surely?
It is written: Surely goodness and mercy  shall follow me, not *I'll follow goodness and mercy.*
Why is that?
Because you carry the greater One in you so you command goodness and mercy to follow you.
Stop telling God how big your problem is, start telling your problem how big your God is.
When you carry the greater One in you everything must obey you because the authority and the sealing is in your confession.
I want you to note every word and read it intentionally.
The NLT says *Pursue me, not me pursuing.*
All the days.....Hallelujah!
What a good God we have that has settled us forever.

What do we need to do?
Stay in His presence to receive fresh Seal.

I just want to admonish us when next you're reading that remember it's a confession and do it deliberately.
The key to that seal is being in Christ Jesus always.
I pray that we will always remember who we are in Christ Jesus always In Jesus Name.

Let's begin to thank God for the Word.
Let's ask for mercy in any way we have broken the edge or missed it in Christ Jesus.
*Amen.*
