Your Devotional message for 24th August 2021
Scripture:
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me and hear my prayer (Psalm 4:1).
Explanation:
In today, day 24 of 31 days of our Daily Meditation, on the series of the Grace and Mercy of God we will explore our understanding of His mercy.
The purpose of this series is ushering you to a deeper study on the knowledge of God’s Grace and Mercy. Interestingly, the God of Heavens does not need you to be afraid of your challenges for Him to attend to you and help you. Rather He ask you to come “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). One of the desperate prayers that you can render to God, the Host of Heavens, to come to you is to say ‘Lord, have mercy on me’.
Here are a few of the scriptures expounding on the God of mercy:
For relieve in your distress:
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me and hear my prayer (Psalm 4:1).
When you are troubled or at the gate of death:
Have mercy on me, O Lord! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death (Psalm 9:13).
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, Yes, my soul and my body! (Psalm 31:9).
When you are weak and fragile:
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled (Psalm 6:2).
In the time of afflictions:
Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people and will have mercy on His afflicted (Isaiah 49:13).
For the wicked who desires to turn to God: You will need to repent and ask God to forgive you. “Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:7).
When you need favour of God:
You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favour her, Yes, the set time, has come (Psalm 102:13).
Are you facing temptation or challenges of life and has been told there is no solution?
Ask God to show His mercy on you. Show us Your mercy, Lord, and grant us Your salvation (Psalm 85:7). He can deliver you from every issue of life where there seems no solution. Great deliverance He gives to His king, and shows mercy to His anointed, To David and his descendants forevermore (Psalm 18:50).
If you are yet to receive Christ Jesus, do so today and repent from all your sins and make Him the Lord of your life.
Thanks be to God for His fullness, grace and His victory. Glory be to God!
Stay tune as we shall continue further tomorrow. Remain uncommonly blessed.
In the Month of August 2021, do not miss any day as we will be exploring ‘The Grace and Mercy of God’
Faith Confession for Grace and Power:
Our Father, Thank you, for another day. I shall be glad and rejoice in You. Thank you for salvation, divine health, grace and glory, provision, protection, and supernatural enablement. And I declare boldly that I am aglow and strong in the spirit, filled with wisdom of God; and the grace of God is upon me (Luke 2:40). The Holy Spirit is my Senior Teacher and Partner.
It is written, “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power” (1 Corinthians 2:4). Behold, I receive the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19). I operate with the great Power of God for His great works – Healings, miracles and signs and wonders. The word of God is in my mouth and as I meditate, it permeates to the deep part of my Spirit, soul, and body. I am manifesting the great power of God.
I rule over Satan and his cohort of darkness with the Fire of the Holy Ghost. I prosper in my spirit, soul, and body. My life is flourishing in all areas of life as well as my health even as my soul prospers. Success, wealth, abundance and victory are mine in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Glory be to God!
