DAY 10: THE SOVEREIGN MERCY OF GOD

-

 THE RHEMA WORD FOR TODAY

(A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM)

 


TOPIC: THE SOVEREIGN MERCY OF GOD

DATE: 10 SEPTEMBER, 2021

BIBLE READING: ROMANS 9: 14-24

VERSE FOR MEDITATION: ROMANS 9:18 ESV

So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he will.

 

            There are some phases of the mercies of God that operate under the common grace of God. This kind of mercy is enjoyed by everyone (believers and unbelievers alike). There are some phases that operate under the saving grace of God. This kind of mercy is enjoyed by the believers (most especially the new converts). There are some phases that operate under the teaching grace. This kind of mercy is enjoyed by the growing believers.

            But there are some phases of the mercies of God that are revealed as the depths of the mercies of God. This kind operates under the special grace of God. This is enjoyed by a few. This kind of mercy is called the sovereign mercy of God, without this, the mercy of God cannot be absolute.

            The sovereign mercy of God is what makes the mercies of God absolute because it truly reveals God as the Sovereign Lord; the Supreme Being.

             The sovereign mercy of God is the only form of mercy that cannot be provoked; other forms of mercies can be provoked, but not this one. This sovereign mercy of God is necessary so that only Him can be glorified and worshipped. This sovereign mercy of God stir up the fear of God in the heart of men.

            I love the way The Passion Translation puts verse 16 of our Bible reading, “Again this proves that God’s choice doesn’t depend on how badly someone wants it or tries to earn it, but it depends on God’s kindness and mercy.”

            One thing you can only do to see this sovereign mercy of God to manifest in your life is your total dependence and consecration unto God with absolute reverence to Him. Though these do not work all the time, because it depends on His choice as the Sovereign Lord, but they are the best way to see it manifest.

 

PRAYER: O Sovereign Lord, I hallowed Your name for who You are. May I enjoy all the dimensions of Your mercies that are available in You. Amen!

 

DECLARATION: THERE IS NO GOD LIKE MY GOD THAT IS FULL OF HIS SOVEREIGNTY. ADONAI! THAT IS WHO YOU ARE.

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

I John 5:4-5 [4]For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. [5]Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? The Certainty of God’s Witness. Our last year theme—our subject of discussion for last year was “WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CHRIST.” And we shared some lovely articles that correlate with that theme. Some of these were: WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BORN AGAIN?  THE EXEGESIS OF JOHN 3:16 I AM A GOOD MAN , etc. This year, we shall share articles that will correlate with our theme, by God's grace.
