BE MERCIFUL

May 22nd – Capsule 22

TOPIC: BE MERCIFUL

BIBLE TEXT: Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy – Matthew 5 vs 7

In the world today, there are many men with unforgiving hearts who beat their chests to say that forgiveness is a sign of weakness whereas forgiveness is strength and love. Our Heavenly Father taught this sermon on the mount that there is a trading system in the realm of the spirit which manifests here on earth. This trading system involves an action and he who sows shall reap from their seeds. 

A certain man was a debtor and the hour of his debt elapsed and he was called to settle what he owed, for it was a huge sum of money, but this man pleaded because his family were to be sold to cover his debt. He ran to the church, knelt at the altar and worshipped God and asked for help and the mercy of God spoke patience and grace before those he owed, and mercy cleared his debt and he returned a free man. 

But another owed this same man that has obtained mercy a little sum of money and he met the man along the way at a certain time and he forcefully hijacked this debtor by the throat and asked for his money and the debtor fell down and pleaded with him to have mercy and patience, but this man that was shown mercy refused to also show mercy so he arrested his debtor and locked him up until he receives his money. 

You see how mankind can be selfish and wicked at heart, God showed us mercy several times and we obtained favour, but we fail to walk like God. This man was reported to the One that showed mercy and mercy was revoked from him and his suffering was more than the other debtor because he failed to be merciful.


Prayer: I repent from doing evil Dear Lord, please forgive my unrepentant heart for all those times I failed to showed mercy to my neighbour.

Insight: When you trade in mercy, you'll reap a merciful harvest, but when you do not, mercy will be far from you.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

NOW

Date 📅 18th October, 2022 Topic NOW Living Scripture Hebrews 11:1,7 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Now we begin to walk in the ways of faith and truth as our fathers in faith and mighty men of old and just as they witnessed the glory of God first hand so shall we if we act now. The perfect example is Noah and the ark, a man of grace and wisdom. The world was stained with disobedience, sinful ways and thick immoralities. And God decided to wipe the inhabitants of the earth with a great flood such as have never been before and even after. The heavens where ready to open the flood gates and the earth to let out her waters. When God spoke to Noah, he acted immediately and finished the ark on time and he eva...

Inside Jesus

DATE 28th June, 2023 TOPIC Inside Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 15:4 KJV Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Inside Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is where we must dwell. Just like a baby is carried in the womb of her mother for months, so must all God's children follow. The anchor scripture reveals that we must abide inside the cleft or riven side of Jesus Christ just as He also dwells inside us. No child of God or minister should ever think that he or she is sufficient or has attained a certain height in Christ Jesus to stand alone or even abide by themselves.  Our productivity of bearing fruits in this world either by evangelism, good deeds, love or any action can only be possible when we are intimate with Christ as He is with us. Without Christ Jesus inside us we cannot or it is impossible to grow spiritually and physically. Inside Christ Jesus contains all life's resources and...
