FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong>\u00a0Experience the mercy of God by living by His word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

God is a merciful God that cannot be intimidated or manipulated by His creation to gain His mercy.
Mercy belongs to God.\u00a0
Romans 9:14-16\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>testifies that mercy belongs to God,\u00a0\u201c\u2026I 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.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
All should understand and know to live life to gain the mercy of God, as the Bible records.
God alone decides whom to give mercy.
God is provoked-able to gain His mercy by living life by His word.
SOME WAYS OF LIVING LIFE TO PROVOKE THE MERCY OF GOD:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0
One that aligns living life with the word of God shall gain the mercy of God.<\/strong>
One that lives life according to the word of God takes the position to gain the mercy of God.
Joseph is an example that was repeatedly exposed to temptation, to sin but did not give himself, to the temptation to fail before God\u00a0(Genesis 39:7-15).<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
One time, he denied the offer to sleep with the wife of his master and claimed,\u00a0\u201c\u2026How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?\u201d (Genesis 39:9)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
The reaction of Joseph to the wife of his master provoked the mercy of God for Joseph.\u00a0Genesis 39:21\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>testifies,\u00a0\u201cBut the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor\u2026\u201d.<\/em><\/strong>
One that loves God shall attain the mercy of God.<\/strong>
One with love for God takes a position to provoke the mercy of God.\u00a0
The Bible mentions that to love God is keeping the commandment of God.\u00a0(John 14:15).<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
To love God is to fear God.\u00a0\u00a0
The story of Joseph points out that Joseph keeps the command of God by forbidding adultery when he fled away from sleeping with the wife of his master.\u00a0
Joseph loved God to gain the mercy of God.
One that sown right shall obtain mercy of God.<\/strong>
It is a wise saying that “whatever a man sow is what a man shall reap.”
For example, one that sows banana shall not reap plantain regardless they look alike.
What are you sowing to reap?
Hosea 10:12<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0buttressed the word of God,\u00a0\u201cSow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
Become one merciful to experience the mercy of God as the word of God speaks to all,\u00a0\u201cBlessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.\u201d (Matthew 5:7)<\/em><\/strong>
Be merciful to attain the mercy of God over your life.
Give yourself to work the words of God to gain His presence.\u00a0
Once Jesus was asked about what to do to work the works of God.\u00a0(John 6:28)<\/em><\/strong>
John 6:29<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0records the response of Jesus to the question before Him,\u00a0“Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cThis is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
Believe in God to gain His mercy unfailingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
