FAITH CAPSULE: To be asking for the mercy of God should be as in thanking God
Romans 9
To be asking for the mercy of God should be as in thanking God to provoke the mercy of God.
Psalm 150:6 states,Let everything that has breath praise the Lord; it is also worthy, pleading for the mercy of God at every breath.
Just as power belongs unto God, mercy also belongs to God.
The mercy of God means God is compassion or kind forbearance that never runs out.
The mercy of God is His loyal love.
Only God is in a position to render mercy unto all, unfailingly.
The mercy of God, not any man’s merit, is the reason God answers.
God cannot be intimidated or manipulated by any of His creation for the release of His mercy.
God declared and was testified of in Romans 9:14-16, “…I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion. So, then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.”
The mercy of God cannot be questioned for having mercy for whom He has mercy for.
With understanding of how God gives mercy prompts to provoke His mercy on self.
It was with mercy that God led the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. The Bible records, “You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed…” (Exodus 15:13)
One led by the mercy of God shall excel to the glory of God.
Understand and know to remind God that He does not forget.
What God has done for one will do for one who reminds Him of what He is doing.
Reminding God is not evidence that God forgets.
Isaiah 43:26 records the word of God that encourages all to remind Him, to provoke His doing in one with understanding of Him.
God speaks to all, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.” (Isaiah 43:26)
Understand how to ask and know how to provoke God.
Remind God of His mercy to Joseph.
Joseph avoided sin; he did not sleep with the wife of His master.
Genesis 39:21 records the consequence of Joseph not sinning against God, “But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him MERCY, and He gave him favor…”
God is not a partial God to look away from one who understands and knows to ask Him.
Prayer for today:
Ask God that it be your way of life to be asking Him for His mercy. (In the mercy of God is deliverance and preservation of God.)
Ask God to enable you not to run out of the mercy of God that does not expire.
Ask that God enable you to live a life that counts before Him to gain His mercy. (Romans 9:14-16 records that God will have mercy on whom He chooses to.)
