There are times we feel as though the whole world is on our shoulders and everything has come to a standstill and literally we are letting go. Life becomes a burden, everything and everyone becomes irritating to us. We even tend to misunderstand gestures and communications, hmm... Even at that point of low esteem and worth, God's mercy somehow finds a way to locate us and show us that we are not alone. There is nothing we are going through that someone, somewhere in time past has not been through. The good news is, many of them came out victorious. You can too! A songwriter wrote these lines in his song, "God's mercy kept me so I wouldn't let go." Today, let us be encouraged and never let go because God's mercies are renewed every day. There is fresh mercy for a fresh challenge. Good morning and the mercy of God locate and bless you in Jesus Name! Amen! God bless you.

  The mercy of God is double edged. On one  side He shows His love towards us, manifest His great wonders towards us, enable His protection over us, upholding us and enabling us to pass through storms of life. While on the other side, He deals with our enemies, removes obstacles whether humans or demons from our path and rescues us from those enemies that are greater than us. The Psalmist in Psalm 136 gave a clear picture of the Mercy of God towards us.  Psalms 136:1-26 [1]O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. [2]O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. [3]O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. [4]To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever. [5]To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. [6]To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever. [7]To him that made great lights: for his merc...

"Jesus was on His way to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd were traveling with Him. Just as He neared the gate of the town, a dead man was being carried out. He was his mother's only son, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was also with her. When the LORD saw her, He had compassion on her and said  Don't cry." Luke 7:11-13 Today so many good things are dying in our lives, communities, schools, Nation, place of Job, and so on.  This widow was helpless. The only person she had has been taken away by death.  Her hope was stolen, her joy turned to sadness, her light became darkened because all she had left lay in a coffin ready to be buried. But thank God Jesus came through that way. Jesus saw her and knew her situation and He had compassion (Mercy) on her and brought her dead son back  to life  and gave him to his mother! Luke 7:14-15.  Hallelujah! Today I pray for us that Jesus will see all the dead areas of our lives and have ...

While Jesus was traveling to Jerusalem, He passed between Samaria and Galilee. As He entered a village, 10 men with serious skin diseases met Him, they stood at a distance and raised their voices, saying " Jesus, master, have mercy on us!" Luke 17:11-12 There are life challenges that could be so serious like the diseases of those men, that would make us stay far away from people. Situations that have made us lose loved ones, family and friends because we don't want to hear their analysis of our situations. At times we are so overwhelmed with problems that we can not pray. But one thing is sure, when we call on Jesus to have Mercy on us He surely will! Verse 14 of Luke 1, "when He saw them, He told them, Go and show yourselves to the priests. And while they were going, they were healed." These 10 men saw an opportunity to encounter divine mercy and rook it. They stood afar, yet their faith stretched towards the master. When He saw this he had mercy on them and he...

Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus was a blind man sitting by the road begging. But one day something happened. Jesus came passing by and when he inquired, he was told that Jesus Christ was passing by.  This young man had to cry out for mercy, he said, "Jesus thou son of David have mercy on me!" Even when the crowd tried to hush him, he shouted the more. He had positioned himself for an encounter and no one was going to stop him. He shouted until Jesus heard and called him to come.  At the end of it all the people that hushed him where the ones that told him "have courage! Get up; He is calling  for you". He went and got his healing. This could be seen in the Book of Mark 10:46-52. As we call on Jesus Christ to have mercy on us amidst other voices and situations trying to shout us down. He will hear us and have mercy and meet us at that point of our needs no matter what  they are in Jesus Name! Amen! Position yourself for divine encounters today.
