OUR GOD IS FULL OF MERCY

 

'"For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You." Psalm 86:5 (NKJV)

God is known to be good and full of love for His people, and one of the key aspects that reflects this goodness is His readiness to forgive. The phrase "ready to forgive" shows God's nature that is always waiting to restore us when we fall. God's forgiveness is not limited to a selected few but is available to everyone who calls on Him in faith and humility.

God is "abundant in mercy to all those who call upon Him," He desires to show mercy to His people and is always ready to forgive, bless, and help those who seek Him in prayer. His goodness and mercy are accessible to all who trust in and pray to Him with a sincere heart.

In 1 John 1:9, the Bible says:
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
I want you to know God’s forgiveness does not come with difficult conditions; what is required is a genuine heart of repentance and humility. God forgives us and restores us to righteousness, and His forgiveness is accompanied by true love.

When we have a close relationship with God, we will see His hand working in our lives in amazing ways. Daily prayers bring us closer to God, and we receive His mercy every time we call upon Him. In Psalm 145:18-19, we read:
"The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them."

It is important to maintain daily fellowship with God through prayer because when we call upon Him, He answers us and shows us His goodness. God’s mercy is upon His people, and we have to call upon Him and trust in Him at all times, so we may enjoy His endless blessings and mercy.

Prayer: Oh Lord, grant me the grace to remain close to You at all times, for You are full of mercy, and Your lovingkindness never ceases toward me. Amen.

Are You With The Right People?

Pursue righteous living…Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22   If you want to be in God’s will and experience His blessings, you have to be around the right people. The people who are right for you are the people who will be honest with you. They don’t just tell you what you want to hear, but they tell you what you need to hear. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” (Proverbs 27:6). Good friends are not afraid to confront you.   Get around the right people because everybody who comes into your life brings a spirit. Sometimes, it is easy to gravitate to people we can relate to and who are similar to us. But the problem with that is, if you both share the same weaknesses, you will not grow in that area. You need to get around someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak. They know how to help get you to where you want to be.   In 2 Chronicles 10, Rehoboam had just been appointed king. Some of the leaders of Israel met w

How Are Your Management Skills? (Part 1)

  “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21   The way you manage your money will determine how much God will trust you with it. In Matthew 25, a wealthy man entrusted his finances to some of his servants. He gave them each certain amounts, and when he returned, he found that some had used the money to make more money, but one servant had just hidden his in the ground. The master (who represents God) was very unhappy with this servant and called him “lazy and wicked” and even took away the little he had been entrusted with.   The master was happy with the others because no matter the amount they had been entrusted with, they used what was given to them and increased it. The servant, who was given only one bag of gold, made the decision to bury it. God expects you to use what He has given you to be a productive person. Even if you ju

Choose love over judgment

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:21 NKJV   The message today is clear and very brief. God reminds us that our righteousness is not attained through our actions but by faith in Jesus Christ. If our righteousness is obtained by faith and not by deeds, why do we judge each other? Why do we point fingers? Why do we gossip? The mouths of Christians have become very quick to judge others when they make mistakes. Let's not judge others, especially when they make mistakes. Remember that the weaknesses you judge in others, you also have, and often yours are worse than those you judge. The word of God says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2."   Secondly, let's not consider ourselves righteous and better than others. The word of God says, "for all
