MERCY

Text : Lamentations 3:22&23

It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

It's quite comforting to know that God's mercies and compassions are new every morning.In other words, you can say that God's goodness,  kindness and compassion come fresh to you every morning. 

Is it not amazing that we daily receive fresh and new package of God's mercy and compassion.

The daily supply of God's mercies and compassion is hinged  on His faithfulness and not your merit.* It is very important for you to know that mercy and compassion are not only needed when you sin or do something wrong.  They are like oxygen that we need for breathing.  

God reveals His mercy in multidimensional phases and levels. Sometimes you need judgement (discernment) to be able to understand the operations of His mercy. 

In fact,  the truth is: Man does not and cannot understand the mystery of His mercy.  

For instance, the wicked man that was highly injurious to the Saints in the early Church during the first century received Mercy. I don't know the kind of Prayers today's Church would have been praying against Saul, if he were to be around today. 

The truth is, there are many sinners out there today that God will still save by His mercy. Apostle Paul himself remarked about the mercy he received  in 1 Timothy  1:16 thus:

Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting_ 

So, Apostle Paul is a pattern of God's mercy to many who have believed today. 

Sometimes,  the devil makes you feel like God is punishing you for your past sins. This is a fat lie. Remember that His mercies and compassion are new every morning. So you have daily opportunity to receive new mercy. 
 
Draw near with boldness to the throne of Grace, that you may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need. Heb 4:16

Are you in your time of need today? 

Then, the Lord is asking you to come to the throne of Grace for Mercy. Whatever the state you are in now,  just come boldly( not arrogantly)  to the throne of Grace.  Luke 18:10-14.
 *The mercy of God is not earned by your works but by His Faithfulness.*
 
Bible Reading: Lamentation 3:22-23

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, thank you for the newness of your mercy over me again today. 

2.) I receive abundance of your grace and mercy in my life today and always.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
