ARE YOU MERCIFUL

-

Matthew 5:7

God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.


When we talk of mercy we talk of forgiveness, we talk of showing kindness to those who do not deserve it or are not our responsibility! Mercy means you wish others well.


Are you merciful?


Who is our example of the merciful? The Heavenly Father Himself:


Exodus 34:6

The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, 

“Yahweh! The Lord! 

The God of compassion and mercy! 

I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.


Listen, most of us claim to be God's children but do we act like Him? Do we carry His nature?


Galatians 5:22-23

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!


Many claim to know God, however His nature is not found in them and the Messiah was clear when He said:


Matthew 7:16a

You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. 


How do you act? Are you merciful or are you vindictive, never forgiving, thinking evil of others and refusing to render help when you can.


Do you join others to do evil, are you happy to label others as evil and to bring others down, do you wish or celebrate people's down moments?  THIS TELLS THE TYPE OF SPIRIT IN YOU.


I am not happy with most of the celebrated ministers today, they breed a lot of people who gather in His name but do not have His nature in them.


Celebrity Christians, ceremonials, transactional believers who only come to God because they need this or that. They do not live the life of the faithfully yet they want to claim the blessings of the faithful.


Do you know God?


If you do, you would know that He is merciful and you would also be merciful.


Are you merciful to your:


* spouse

* children

* parents 

* employer

* employees

* family 

* others

?


What really is in your inside? This is the major thing, for God looks at your inside.


Sit back, meditate, ask yourself, what really is my content, what is my character?


If you would obtain mercy from the Lord, you must be merciful.


Stop the excuses, stop lying to yourself. Take on the nature of Christ.


We win.


PRAYER 

Loving Father, I take on your nature, I will be merciful just as You are merciful. Help me Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.

He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
