O LORD SHOW ME MERCY
LORD SHOW ME MERCY
The kingdom of God is in every believer but the gains of the kingdom is only possible by revelation. One of the keys to operating on a different Cadre in this realm is understanding. The more insight you have, the heavier and mightier the manifestations you will produce.
One of such mysteries you need is the revelation of the mercies of God. In
Exodus 33:19 God said "And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy." Although here God says that mercy is His prerogative to give, but we see from our anchor text that man can call upon God and He will show mercy.
Now, the prodigal son took the part of his inheritance, left for a distant country, and squandered all his father gave him on frivolous lifestyle. Again he made the decision to return home to his father and to become as one of his servants. His father took him back with joy and gladness not as a servant but his child. Despite messing up, he was taken back by mercy. Mercy does not only restrain judgment but helps our connection back to the Father.
What Mercy Means for Us
Mercy is liniency or compassion that forbears punishment even when justice demands it. In law, granting clemency, which is another word for mercy, depends entirely on the will of the grantor, who doesn’t have to give a reason for granting it.
God's mercy is one of the character of God that expresses His goodness to men.
Mercy and grace are similar but not the same. Let me explain it this way, grace is getting what we don’t deserve and mercy is not getting what we do deserve. In the parable, the son didn't get the rejection he deserved. In Christ, neither do we.
When you study the Bible, you will come to see the bounty and power of God’s mercy:
• Psalm 102:13 "Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come."
Mercy is a powerful vehicle needed to unveil new seasons. When you are at your kairos season and your season of favour, mercy is needed to ensure that it comes to pass
• Psalms 51:1 "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions."
Whenever you see the blood of Jesus what you see is the symbol of mercy. The pain and all Jesus paid for on the cross was on the cheque of mercy. Our eternal salvation and freedom from damnation was by mercy.
• Ephesians 2:4-5 says, “God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions.”
Mercy brought the very life of God into us, to quicken our spirit so as to become alive unto righteousness.
• Hebrews 4:16 KJV
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
Mercy grants us access into the throne room of grace. Whether you come to God in the morning, noon or night; mercy opens you into that eternal realm of God so that you have access into the manifoldness of God. That is why one of the things to plead for in the place of prayer is mercy.
Psalm 116:1 says that, the Lord “heard my cry for mercy.” so mercy opens the ears of God towards your prayers.
Mercy is what pulls you that is far from God to become a part of God. Mercy puts you on Gods' "To help and to reach" list. This means if that there is a person to be helped, raised, lifted and glorified by God, mercy puts you on the list.
Finally, the Hebrew word for mercy also translates into love. God’s love is endless, ageless and inexhaustible even with the growing population of human race because of His mercy.
Mercy is part of what makes the work of Christ eternally potent and active. Mercy makes Gods love transgenerational.
