I woke up with
a plan in my mind and I was set to go in that direction. But I was intersected
by the one who owns my life and He led me through a 2 weeks experience of Him. A
part of Him I have never taken cognizance of and I would love to share this
with you.
To me, I had thought my daily doses
of doing good to others and working in line with God’s will would guarantee
some of the fringe benefits He daily bestows.
Until this morning when he led me to search in His word the word
“Mercy” and study about it. It
seemed insignificant at first until I followed and daily sought in His word the
words Mercy, Mercies, Mercies’, Merciful and Mercy seat. Each carrying its own
meaning yet displaying a new personality about my God that I knew little of.
These 14 days have been so mind blowing as I daily awake to a
fresh perspective of the God I serve and daily experience miracles in all I do.
When questions arise in my heart, I get answers to them. I now see people
differently because he showed me how his mercy forgave and preserved me and how
I must have mercy on others too. Besides, He is merciful ONLY to those who have
shown others mercy.
I also realized that I sleep and awake, I go out and come in, I
have sound mind and great health, I have a life, a career, I have a purpose and
daily He is leading me to its fulfillment. All these and more I couldn’t have
achieved on my own nor any man give to me. I only have it because I received it
by His mercy, His unfailing love. Nevertheless as the God of mercy He still
decides who he wants to pour his mercy on.
He pours it every morning on everyone that is alive giving us a
fresh start every day, his mercies covers a multitude of sins, his mercy is
tender, loving us Inspite of our faults and falls, his mercy is full making him
slow to anger and quick to forgive us, wash and purify us. It restores
us, it never quits and it endures forever.
Isn’t His Mercy Awesome?
His mercy brings unprecedented miracles; his mercy shows us the path
to take. It guides, helps, redeems, restores and reassures us. Most importantly,
when he seats on the Mercy Seat and I draw to him, I receive instructions,
revelation, direction and counsel all by his mercy.
Generous, Gracious and Big breasted God pours his mercies on
those committed to seek him, acknowledge him and desire his mercy above all
else. Also being open to God, never hiding our sins, depending on him in our
weaknesses, enquiring of him in all we do, waiting to hear him and treating
others with mercy causes God’s light and face to shine upon us. His favour preceding
and going with you, his glory overshadowing and you becoming like him.
But Caution! Never get to a time where you never acknowledge God
for his mercies. Keep it in mind that having life is by his mercies, tell
people about his mercies, wait for it when you are trusting him for a miracle
and always let the Holy Spirit help you stay alert. Remember, Man’s greatest
challenge is forgetfulness especially
when all things are working well. But as someone who Knows His God, Keep
abreast his instructions in your heart, tie it about your neck Prv 3:3, let it
be on your path Ps 25:10, show mercy to others Matt 5:7 Let it be in your daily
walk, talk and work. Be full of God’s mercies everyday Rom 12:1 and always remember you did nothing to be alive today, His mercy gave you life.
Enjoy God’s Mercies day by day and always acknowledge him for it.
