FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> In the coming days, weeks, months, with understanding get to know what it takes to be obtaining mercy of God.<\/p>\n

Genesis 39<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercy belongs to no man but to God that gives mercy. Mercy is God\u2019s compassionate or kind forbearance that never runs out. Mercy of God is constantly in place to answer for God\u2019s creation as He (God) chooses. The mercy of God, not our merit, is the reason God answers. God cannot be intimidated or manipulated for the release of His mercy by any of His creation. With God\u2019s mercy in place for His creation, nothing under heaven is powerful enough to displace man from overcoming the challenges of the world.
\nDespite of Pharaoh\u2019s stone of heart, it was with mercy that God led the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years and the bible recorded it, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed\u2026\u201d (Exodus 15:13)<\/em><\/strong> In the coming days, weeks, months, with understanding get to know what it takes to be obtaining mercy of God.
\nAmong the many ways of provoking God to obtain His mercy are:
\nMercy is attainable when our life aligns with the word of God
\n<\/u>Every time our lives line up with the Word of God, He will always be with us. Joseph\u2019s life is an evidence of one that constantly lined up his walk with the Word of God. Every time there was an incident that could tempt him to violate the Word of God, he did not because his life was lined up with the Word of God.\u00a0 In one instance, he could have accepted but he denied the offer to sleep with his master\u2019s wife by claiming, \u201c\u2026How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?\u201d (Genesis 39:9)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 So he fled from her offer. It can be concluded that Joseph\u2019s acknowledgment of his God was enough for God to be provoked, extending His mercy to Joseph. The Word went further to declare, \u201cBut the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor\u2026\u201d (Genesis 39:21)<\/em><\/strong> When we live our lives in line with the word of God, God\u2019s mercy becomes undeniably obtainable.
\nMercy is attainable when we love God
\n<\/u>Do you know what it means to love God? Many, who demonstrated their love for God, were able to obtain God\u2019s mercy. The Bible recorded what it means to love God when Jesus stated, \u201cIf you love Me, keep My commandments.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> (John 14:15).<\/em><\/strong> Joseph is also a good example of someone that kept God\u2019s commandment forbidding adultery. Joseph\u2019s fleeing from sleeping with his master\u2019s wife was because of his love for His God.
\nGoing to church is not possibility of obtaining the mercy of God; running around to give or receive gift in the season of the celebration of Jesus Christ is not the way to be obtaining the mercy of God. Align your life with the word of God; love God and mercy shall always answer as your portion.<\/p>\n
