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 This man was reported to the One that showed mercy and mercy was revoked from him and his suffering was more than the other debtor because he failed to be merciful.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.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
