TREM Devotional 9 February 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Mercy Is The Heritage Of The Believer
TOPIC: Mercy Is The Heritage Of The Believer
“But God–so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us” Ephesians 2:4 (AMPC)
God’s love for you is intense. And He says how do I satisfy this intense love. I will reach out to them in Mercy. God’s Word encourages us to come to God boldly to receive this Mercy. “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16 KJV).
When you come there, you will obtain mercy and find grace for help at every time of need. Mercy is God not giving to you the judgment, the accusation, and the punishment you deserve. Whenever you see Mercy, it has a twin brother called Grace. Both of them, are born out of the heart of God’s love. This mercy reaches out to you right now wherever you are, Just thank Him for His Mercy. Always thank Him for Mercy. You see, you don’t need to struggle. Mercy is yours by reason of the perfect sacrifice of Christ. Mercy is your heritage! Mercy is yours. Mercy belongs to you.
You don’t know the way you ought to go but the Mercy of God is there. God is rich in Mercy. God’s Mercy is upon that business. God’s Mercy is upon that job! God’s Mercy is upon your children! By reason of Mercy, things will turn around in your favor.
God’s blessing makes you rich and does not add sorrow to it. There shall be no sorrow in your dwelling because of Mercy. Evil shall bow before you and the wicked at your gate. Always remember that in Christ you have obtained Mercy. Therefore, expect Mercy to speak on your behalf in every area of your life. “Which in time past, were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.” (1 Peter 2:10 KJV)
