DAY 1: THE MERCIES OF GOD

THE RHEMA WORD FOR TODAY

(A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM)

 


TOPIC: THE MERCIES OF GOD

DATE: 1 SEPTEMBER, 2021

BIBLE READING: 2 CORINTHIAN 1:2-7

VERSE FOR MEDITATION: 2 CORINTHIAN 1:3 NKJV

Blessed be the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.

 

The Bible calls God, ‘the Father of mercies’, showing us that the mercy of God comes from different ways and operations, of which we will look at a few on consecutive days. First, what is the mercy of God?

The mercy of God is an act of God’s benevolence towards man in order that he might gain access into the heart of God where His compassion and the riches of His love dwells.

That is why the scripture says, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need”. (Heb. 4:6). So when you come boldly to the throne of grace, but mercy with the mercies of God, you would gain access to the heart of God where you would find grace, which is an expression of His riches of His love. Without the mercies of God, we cannot gain access to find grace; mercy must first be obtained before grace can be found.

           Now, if God is the Father of mercies then we are His mercies. Fine! He is EL-SHADDAI (God Almighty), and ADONAI (The Sovereign Lord), but at the same time, He is the Abba Father. He is so much interested in relationship so that is why He decided to make man in His image of His personality and after His likeness, so we are a reflection of His mercy on earth.

           That was why when Adam sinned, God looked on him and saw His mercy, and He was moved with great compassion. And unmerited favour (grace); which is an expression of His riches of His love, was found and He clothed them and set them out of the garden, so that they would not eat from the tree of life and remain condemned forever. Everything God did all throughout the scripture was an act of His mercy because man is a reflection of His mercy here on earth. And this mercy comes in different ways. Stay tuned as we explore the Father’s love in 30 days.

 

 PRAYER: My Father and my God, I thank you for your great mercy towards me. Help me to find the grace to always reflect your mercies to all humanity.

 

DECLARATION: I (PUT YOUR NAME), AM A REFLECTION OF GOD’S ENDLESS MERCY.  I AM THE MERCY OF GOD!

2024: THE YEAR OF ESTABLISHMENT

Hosea‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭GNB I will establish my people in the land and make them prosper. I will show love to those who were called “Unloved”, and to those who were called “Not-my-People” I will say, “You are my people,” and they will answer, “You are our God.” The Lord is about to prosper us in all areas of our life, but He must first establish us in Him. It is until we're established in Him, our prosperity will have no root to last long. The Lord has said to us, “I will establish you.” Another area of God's establishment this year is in the area of His love. Ephesians 3:17 NIV So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. The Lord has said to us, “I will uproot every plant that I have not planted. And get you rooted and established in My love.” (Matt. 15:13; Eph. 3:17). Falsehood will die as Truth will thrive. Every wind of doctrine will vanish, because the full knowledge of Christ will be established.  Strange practi

 PHRONESIS DEVOTIONAL 30 DAYS DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM September 22, 2023. Topic: TRUE RICHES Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-34 Verse for Meditation: 1 Timothy 6:6 NLT Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. About sexual temptation, if you are struggling to break free, you must first be saved so that you can be given the Holy Spirit to empower you to live above sin. But breaking free and living constantly above sin; especially sexual sins, it take discipline and consistency. You don’t stay fit on the first day you go to the gym to work out; it takes consistent exercise and discipline to achieve that, so does exercising ourselves towards godliness (1Tim. 4:7). When you fall, you need to rise again to continue with the exercise. It was a constant practice that made that sexual habit called addiction. So you need to deliberately keep at it constantly till the appetite to sin dies. Spiritual attack is real, but what we call spiritual attack is actually a lack of knowle
