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 This man was reported to the One that showed mercy and mercy was revoked from him and his suffering was more than the other debtor because he failed to be merciful.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

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
