How does a heart become merciful?

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: How does a heart become merciful?

Matthew 5:7 KJV
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Mercy comes from a heart that has first felt its spiritual bankruptcy, and has come to grief over its sin, and has learned to wait meekly for the timing of the Lord, and to cry out in hunger for the work of his mercy to satisfy us with the righteousness we need.

The mercy that God blesses is itself the blessing of God. It grows up like fruit in a broken heart and a meek spirit and a soul that hungers and thirsts for God to be merciful. Mercy comes from mercy. Our mercy to each other comes from God's mercy to us.

The key to becoming a merciful person is to become a broken person. You get the power to show mercy from the real feeling in your heart that you owe everything you are and have to sheer divine mercy. Therefore, if we want to become merciful people, it is imperative that we cultivate a view of God and ourselves that helps us to say with all our heart that every joy and virtue and distress of our lives is owing to the free and undeserved mercy of God.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name, mercy will find you and bring you to your place of fulfillment

The reflection of God's mercy

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: The reflection of God's mercy

I move on now to the reflection of God's mercy, reminding you again of our need to bear God's image in a darkened world. In Luke 6:36, our Lord tells us straightforwardly, Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. That makes very clear our need to be merciful. To this we can add a few more verses.

Proverbs 3:3 says, Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

Micah 6:8 asks, What does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

Let me not leave out the closing words of the parable of the Good Samaritan, where Jesus asked the inquiring lawyer, which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves? The lawyer rightly replied, He who showed mercy on him. Then Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise.
As Christians we simply must be merciful if at all possible. May God grant us the grace to do so.

In addition it can be said that mercy is one of those things we can do for the good of ourselves. Proverbs 11:17 states, The merciful man does good for his own soul. And Matthew 5:7 says, Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
This morning instead of looking for someone to show you mercy, I want you to be merciful to someone too, and your lie mercy will come from God. Amen

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name mercy of God will open door of breakthrough for you

The manifestations of God's mercy

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: The manifestations of God's mercy

The best way to understand and appreciate God's mercy is to observe it in action. The first reference to the mercy of God in the Bible is in connection with the rescue of Lot and his family from Sodom and Gomorrah. Whether they realized it or not, the family of Lot was in great distress because fire and brimstone from the heavens were about to rain down upon the two cities to destroy them and all of their inhabitants. Their very lives were at stake. Even though God had warned them of what was coming, they were lingering behind in the cities. Then in Genesis 19:16 we read, While he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife's hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.

In mercy God sent messengers to rescue Lot and his family. God had compassion on them and rescued them from their distress. Unhappily, Lots wife lagged behind and kept looking back and she perished, but Lot and his daughters escaped because of God's mercy. That was compassionate treatment of those who were in distress!

Psalm 136 sings of God's mercy like no other Psalm, and refers to repeated demonstrations of God's mercy to the children of Israel. Israel had been in great distress in Egypt, forced into slavery by the Egyptians. But God treated them compassionately, delivering them from Egypt and bringing them through the wilderness and settling them in the land of promise.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name, the Mercy of God will settle you to your promise land in Jesus Name

The Nature of God's Mercy

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE NATURE OF GOD'S MERCY

When the psalmist says the Lord is merciful, he is drawing from the 34th chapter of Exodus, where God revealed Himself to Moses on Mount Sinai.
On that occasion, God passed by Moses on the mountain, proclaiming, The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands. The Psalmist is simply repeating what was revealed then. The Lord is merciful and gracious. There is no question that God is merciful.
That raises some rather interesting questions. If we use the definition of mercy as compassionate treatment of those who are in distress,

what is so distressful about us?
Why is Gods mercy so often spoken of in connection with his slowness to anger?
Why would God be angry with those in distress?

Let me take a moment to show you how Scripture couples Gods mercy with slowness to anger.
We have it here in Psalm 103:8. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger. We have it again in Jeremiah 3:12, I am merciful, says the Lord; I will not remain angry forever. And in Joel 2:13, The Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger.

Our questions are answered in Hebrews 8:12 where God says I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. Our sin is what puts us in distress. God has declared it to be worthy of death. The sinner must perish; he is lost. God gets angry with sin because it is disobedience to His will and a denial of His goodness. Sin causes great distress for us; it angers God, and our only hope is found in Gods mercy and readiness to treat sinners compassionately. That is the nature of Gods mercy.

But when God's mercy speaks, we are forgiven, we are clean and the blood of Jesus clean us from all sins by his mercy.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name, mercy of God will clean your past mistake that us troubling your present life in Jesus Name

God's Mercy

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: GOD'S MERCY

Text: Psalm 103:8 KJV
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

mercy is compassionate treatment of those who are in distress.

There is probably no better human illustration of this kind of mercy than the one that is found in the story Jesus told of the good Samaritan. You are familiar with the story of how the man who went down the road from Jerusalem to Jericho was set upon by thieves who stripped him, wounded him and left him half dead.
The priest and Levite passed him by on the other side of the road, but the Samaritan had compassion on him bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
When Jesus asked, Which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?, He was answered, He who showed mercy on him.

From this story we understand immediately that mercy is giving compassionate treatment to those in distress. We admire such acts of mercy. We say that mercy is a very wonderful thing. Mercy is good and we take heart when the Bible tells us that God is merciful.

LET US PRAY
This week God's mercy will find you and make a way for you in Jesus name

WHO ARE THE STUBBORN AND RELENTLESS ENEMY ?

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: WHO ARE THE STUBBORN AND RELENTLESS ENEMY ?

There are Enemy and they are pursuers. All pursuers are not the same. Some pursuers are more relentless than others. Why are they more relentless? A pursuer becomes more relentless, refusing to turn back from pursuing you:

1. When he is an avenger.
He wants to avenge something such as a wrong or a mistake. He wants you to pay dearly for what you have done. The only way out here is to call on the mercy of God and on the blood of Jesus to avail for you. A good example is Joab and his brother Abishai who pursued Abner relentless until they eventually lured him out of the city of Refuge and killed him. They were relentless because he had killed their brother Asahel in battle. 2 Samuel 3:30.

2. When he is operating under a covenant to destroy.
A good example is the people that took a vow not to eat until they had destroyed Apostle Paul. Acts 23:12.

3. When you have the pursuer’s property in your possession.
For example, marine powers will not leave you alone when you have their candles, their evil garments, special white bedsheets, special perfume, special sponge, and special soap in your possession. The devil and his cohorts will keep coming back to trouble you until you not only get rid of his possessions but also cleanse your house thoroughly.

4. When you are living in secret sin.

5. When you refuse to make restitution.
You refuse to give back the things that you have stolen and the “gifts” that another woman’s husband bought for you with the money that he was supposed to feed his family with while they were left hungry.

6. When they are operating on several fronts in a person’s life.
For example, in the area of marriage, finance, career, and business.

7. When the pursuer is already inside while you are busy looking for him outside.
WE SHALL CONTINUE TOMORROW

LET'S PRAY
Blood of Jesus work for me and deliver me from every avenger, in the name of Jesus.

O God in your mercy, help me and enable me to make restitution today.

Every stubborn pursuer pursuing my life, turn back and die, in the name of Jesus.
