Begin to pray about them, let's join our heart and minds together as we pray for your intentions.
ASK FOR MERCY🙏🏿 CONSISTENTLY
My dear non-Catholic friends permit me to give the Catholics listening to me an assignment. Catholics the next time you go for Mass, pay attention to the number of times the phrase “ Lord have Mercy ”, or “ May the Lord have Mercy appears throughout the Mass .” Then ask yourself why the highest prayer of your church will have “ Lord have mercy ” and all its nuances running through the HOLY Mass. Is the church not teaching you a very important mystery... The next time you are to say “ Lord have Mercy ”, say it with understanding ooh, because your very life depends on it.
See eerrh, when the Lord revealed the Mystery of the DIVINE Mercy to me, I knew my life will never be the same again, and my life has never been the same again ooh. There is a reason why I am always encouraging you to pray the Divine Mercy and for those who are NON- Catholics, I always encourage you to pray “ Lord have mercy on me ” backed with faith.
MERCY in all its usage appears about 467 times in the bible. How many days do we have in a year? 365 days right? That should tell you that you are expected to ask for Mercy every single day of your life.
Everything you are looking for is in the DIVINE MERCY . What are you looking for? Name them- they are all in Mercy. The Mercy of God is the major key you need in your life. Our idea about Mercy is that mercy is only for sinners, but that is a one sided approach- so as a result we pride ourselves that we are not sinners or better still we just got forgiven, so we don't need mercy and even when we ask for mercy we only have in our minds the ministry of forgiveness and penance.
Psalm 86:5- “ For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. ” What did scripture say, it says the Lord is good, ready to forgive and plenteous in mercy to who? What is the criteria? To all who call upon thee. The Lord is plenteous in mercy unto them that call upon the mercy of God.
Yes, the MERCY of God- call upon the MERCY of God and see him move beyond your faith level. Call upon the MERCY of God and see him move beyond everything in your life. When you invoke the MERCY of God he moves because of his son JESUS CHRIST and his sacrifice on the cross - it has nothing to do with you again. It has everything to do with JESUS CHRIST . There are people who are prosperous- even though there's still a curse in their lives- that curse has not been broken but they are still prosperous because their language all the way is MERCY -
there ARE others who are spiritual vagabonds but as the arrows that fly day by day or the plagues that strike in the dark is coming they have no knowledge of spiritual intelligence but “ Lord have Mercy ” is the only language they know- that's all they say-the MERCY of GOD .
Lamentations 3:22-23, says “ 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. ”
That means that even though I did not know spiritual laws- I still saw results that were not accounted to my knowledge spiritually because of the Lord’s MERCIES . Scriptures tells me the secret is that, in my ignorance I was able to provoke and invoke the MERCY of God.
See eerrh, if God were to wait for us to obey every single spiritual law allocated for our victory, some of us will taste victory when we are 97 years old 🧓. Because our rate of assimilation compared to our need for the result is very low- that's why God introduces his MERCY into our lives. Where you are coming from and the things you have done or did not do, you should not receive the reward that is coming based on the laws of justice- but you were wise enough and immediately you called GOD’S MERCY - he overrides all of your issues and comes through for you, not because of you, but because of Jesus and what he did on the cross. He doesn't justify you, but he gives you -so you know that he is God and he is COMPASSIONATE and he faileth not.
COMPASSION and MERCY makes God examine your condition, he examines your humanity, he says oh it was because your father died, because this and that happened- no one to guide you and you took up this bad habit to compensate- so the LORD will say- “ I shift beyond, I am not justifying you but I have been touched with the feelings of your limitations, I override, I qualify you, I grant you mercy, grace, favour go and sin no more ”, Mercy, -this was what happened to the adulterous woman.
See eeerh, the results that I started experiencing in my life before I ever understood spiritual principles that controlled the results...
look, most people will make it look like all their results is a direct reflection of their total obedience or prayer- who can totally obey? - Don’t get me wrong ooh, I spend quality time at prayer, and when it comes to fasting, let me not even go there, but what happens when it's a Saturday, your day starts with a naming ceremony, then followed by engagement ceremony, funeral, wedding, meetings and you are tired by end of day, and you can only snore you way till morning because of the tear and wearyness of your human dimensions and you stagger your way into the church on Sunday and all you can say is Lord have mercy.
Or the other days when by the time I come to my room it is past 12 midnight, and I have to wake up and drive out by 4am to another program, and by the time I get there am already exhausted in my human frame and all I can say is “ Lord have mercy and show your might” . …and all of the sudden this anointing comes and I know it is the Mercy of God at work. Mercy- Divine Mercy... I know what this thing is ooh MERCY. Tap into it.
DIVINE MERCY- That's why you will keep getting angry at people because see their results and you know that they don't deserve it, see a woman ooh, very poor, no formal education, she lost her husband very early but help is coming from everywhere, all she does for a living is to sell roasted plantain by the roadside - but all her four children have gone through school to the master’s degree level. And you ask her Mama, how did you do it, and she says all I know is one song about mercy I keep singing every day ooh ... MERCY .
If you can learn to provoke God's MERCY eerrh, see, when blind Bartimaeus…- Jesus was passing Jericho for the last time. He didn't say Jesus am obedient, am a pentecostal, charismatic, am a Catholic,am a Christian, am a Jew, am an elder in my church, I do this, do that, I have been listening to your messages, I pray, I fast- none of that...
Rather he tapped into the mystery of Mercy - he screamed with all of his might – “ Jesus, Son of David have mercy on me ”. Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “ Son of David, have mercy on me !” Jesus stopped and said, “ Call him. ” So they called to the blind man, “ Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you .” Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. “
What do you want me to do for you ?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “ Rabbi, I want to see. ” “Go,” said Jesus, “ your faith has healed you .” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. Bartimaeus understood a mystery that you and I do not... THE MERCY OF GOD. THE MERCY OF GOD… if you can grasp this mystery, you don’t have a problem..
You can be here at an all-night crying for an encounter and Jesus will leave you and appear to a junky under the Kwame Nkrumah interchange, because even though he is junky keeps saying Lord have Mercy on me, and mercy will find him. Jesus then comes to the Junky under the Kaneshie interchange, while you with your pride is seated in an all night service- and he says I am Jesus and you are there saying, “ abaa Jesus this is not fair, I thought you said you reward those who diligently seek you ”-
What you do not know is that, your very heart is far away, but the junky under the Kaneshie bridge in the middle of his deteriorating lifestyle; MERCY and COMPASSION is interpreting his lifestyle. Though his lifestyle is nothing to write home about, his heart is crying out to God saying “ God am confused, I don't know why am into all this negativity, have mercy ”. His heart, his spirit was screaming for help and the spirit of God located him and you see him or her tomorrow as a pastor, Manager and you say ah, is that not that womanizer, weed smoker, arm robber, God is not fair at all. Mercy...
Take someone like Saul, now Paul people were in the temple looking for an encounter, but he who was on the way to persecute and kill Jesus’ disciples was the one Jesus appeared to, Paul the persecutor. – MERCY of God.
ASK FOR MERCY CONSISTENTLY EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE, IT IS A POWERFUL MYSTERY AM SHOWING YOU.
Shalom and God bless you
