Acts Of Mercy II
‘And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ Matt.25:40
It is the hand that gives that receives. It is the person that is merciful that obtains mercy. We are the church, the church doesn’t exist for us, rather, we exist for the world. You need to get it into your psyche that the church doesn’t exist for you but rather you are the church and you exist for the world. So lend yourself to acts of mercy. There is no way you will give towards building churches and reaching people who would never have heard the Read the rest of this entry
Acts Of Mercy I
‘For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home’ Matt.25:35.
Jesus was tempted in every way but without sin. There is no temptation that you are going through right now that Jesus has not experienced in one form or the other. When I read this scripture a long time ago, I said to myself that it is not possible because I did not think Jesus would have experienced what I was experiencing. But the truth is that if the Bible says that Jesus was tempted in every way then He was tempted in everyway. Jesus was 100 percent Read the rest of this entry
Lend Yourself
‘Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people’ Heb.2:17.
Just like Jesus did with us, God expects us to be merciful and share people’s burdens. Some people’s reaction to other people’s pain is what is the big deal? Listen you do not need to know what it is physically to have nothing for you to be merciful to those who are going through the pain of having nothing. And by God’s grace there is no time in your life that you will experience having nothing. For many of us, all you are required to do in showing mercy is Read the rest of this entry
Mercy vs. Pity
‘Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need’ Prov.21:13.
How do you know if someone is a Christian? It is simple; ask their domestic staff or people that live with them. If the people that you have authority over do not feel mercy flow from you, then there is something wrong with that. You need to change because blessed are the merciful for they will obtain mercy. God wants you to be blessed because you are His child so it is a contradiction if you are not blessed. ‘Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the Read the rest of this entry
Offering Compassion
‘There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others but if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you’ James 2:13.
Unfortunately, some people think that the mercy of God is a license for sin. The truth is when you truly experience the mercy of God you would not want to touch sin again. God said to Moses, ‘if you are to describe me then say I am the Lord compassionate, merciful, slow to anger, plenteous in mercy, I will not always chide neither will I keep my anger for ever’. God wants to be known as merciful. The problem with us is if God that has every right to judge Read the rest of this entry
Obtaining Mercy
‘So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most’ Heb.4:16
It is because God is merciful that is why He extends this invitation to you and I. If God were to mark iniquity who can stand? But because there is forgiveness with God therefore we fear Him. God wants you to know Him as a merciful God. For some of us because of the things we have done we think that God cannot even begin to forgive us. For others, they cannot come to terms with God’s mercy because how can God forgive a murderer? I have good Read the rest of this entry
Reaping Compassion
‘The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose’ Ex.33:19
I need the mercy of God and I am sure you do too. For many of us the only thing that can get us out of the situation we are in right now is if God will have mercy. People may be ridiculing you for not knowing how to seek God but you know you have prayed and fasted and it has nothing to do with that. It is only the mercy of God that can bring you out of that situation and God will have mercy on you today in Jesus Name. God is saying you need to be Read the rest of this entry
Display Mercy
‘Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’ Matt.18:33.
There was a king in a far away country that had several subjects. Mufu was one of the king’s subjects, a successful businessman with a lot of business ideas. Mufu needed to borrow money to fund some of his ideas. The king out of generosity allowed Mufu to borrow money from the treasury. Over time Mufu borrowed several millions from the king. Mufu had a friend Kofi, and while Mufu was borrowing from the king, Kofi was borrowing from Mufu. Mufu Read the rest of this entry
The Difference
‘And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In face, together with Christ we are heirs to God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering’ Rom.8:17.
There are people out there whose struggle is not with hearing God’s counsel but it is with breaking away from the way things have been done all their life. For some, the struggle is that they have been a certain kind of person all their lives. There is good news for you today; Jesus can make the difference in your life. Think about the things God wants to do in your life, think about all that God wants to do with you. Then truthfully answer this question; Read the rest of this entry
It’s Your Decision!
‘How blessed are the meek! for they will inherit their land’ Matt.5:5 [CJB]
So many times the land we desire of God is tied to the work of God in our hearts. Our Promised Land is tied to the extent to which the Holy Spirit is able to bring us under control. The more the Holy Spirit is able to bring you under control. The more He is able to tell you or nudge you not to talk and you don’t talk, the more power, land or whatever you desire is released to you. I’ve been among Christian friends heard them relay how they would put the Read the rest of this entry
