GOD OF MERCY (I)

KINGDOM MYSTERIES BY PASTOR (MRS) ABUDU, B.O
FRIDAY – JANUARY 26
GOD OF MERCY (I)
DAILY READING
SCRIPTURE READING: JUDG. 2:13-18
But thou O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, long- suffering and plenteous in mercy and truth." (Psalm 86:15).
Hear this:God's mercy and grace is always available for the sincere seekers.
Beloved, please take note; the best way out of every challenges is to carefully wait upon the Lord and engage Him in effectual, fervent prayers. According to our anchor scripture above, Our God indeed is a merciful father, full of compassion, gracious, long-suffering and plenteous in mercy and truth. God 
is not like many of our earthly fathers who find it difficult to forgive their 
children who offend them. No matter the degree and gravity of the offense, when God sees a genuine repentance, He forgives by His mercy. I pray for every user of this devotional, in this year and beyond, you shall receive and enjoy God's mercy and pardon in every situation of your life in Jesus name.
Just imagine the scene of a grieving father standing before a stubborn and way-ward son and pleading with him to renounce his destructive lifestyle, that should touch any reasonable person. That is exactly the case between God and His children. May your character not grieve God any longer in Jesus 
Name.
In our passage, the Children of Israel were constantly disobeying God's 
commands and instructions. They often forsook God for the worship of other gods, yet we see the picture of the patient Almighty God severely wronged by His children, but still calling on them for repentance; indeed that is an overwhelming testimony of the bottomless mercy of God as against the extreme iniquity of man. Each time they sinned against God, He will hand 
them over to their enemies and at the same time still watch over them to deliver them from the hands of their enemies. That is the character of a 
merciful father. But note: God loves you but hates sinful nature, therefore out of His mercy, he will execute judgement over any unrepentant sinner on the last day. So be warned.
My counsel: Make God your Father indeed. Make up your mind to serve God in obedience. Do not hesitate to repent of any known sin no matter how grievous. Say no to sinful and ungodly habits, embrace holiness at all cost. 
Our God is a merciful God. Be a sincere seeker of God.
Remember: God's mercy and grace is always available for the sincere 
seekers.Receive a fresh baptism of grace to live a life that will please God and attracts His mercy and favour to you in Jesus Name.
Prayer: 
1. Father, thank you for your mercy and love towards me and my loved 
ones.
2. O Lord, by your mercy, deliver me from the hands of the oppressors 
and spoilers of life and destiny.
3. I ask for the grace to live a life of absolute obedience to the 
commands of God.
4. Merciful God, send me helpers in Jesus Name.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved the

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they

SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS

May 3 SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — PHILIPPIANS 4:19 It is God’s will that our needs be met. All of them! Philippians 4:19 includes all of your needs (all means all!), whether spiritual, physical, material, or financial. Believe that! Lest someone think that God is not concerned about our financial needs, this verse is set in a context which discusses material and financial affairs. Read it and you will see that the Philippians had taken up an offering of money and goods to send to other Christians. Paul was telling them, “Because you have given to others and have helped them, my God shall supply all your need.” So Paul was talking about material and financial matters. With what boldness, then, we can pray for finances to meet our obligations! Having all of our needs met is according to God’s will! Confession: When I pray concerning finances, I pray according to God’s Word — His will. Therefore, I am confid
