A Mercy

By Bro. Gabriel Bamgbose

Mercy is an attribute of God. It is one way God manifests Himself to us and one dimension He makes Himself known to us.

And in fact it is His divinity and miraculous pact with his creations. When we consider the registers of mercy, we find goodness, love, kindness, grace, generosity, thankfulness, forgiveness, and in fact  salvation and provision.

This means that  to obtain mercy from God is to embody the  fullness of His diverse manifestations. And of course, the nature of  God’s mercy is that it is multitude, infinite and everlasting.

But we should pay  attention to the singularity of “a mercy”. When we obtain a mercy from God, what do we do with it?

The Psalmist proclaims: “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits” Psalm 103:2. A clear injunction to forget not His mercy!

The forgetfulness of a mercy is a grand obstacle to many of His everlasting mercies we should have received. Our God reigns in the abundance of mercies.

 As we validate a mercy by telling its glorious tale through the words of our testimonies and the continuance of our thanks and praises in the fullness of joy, we receive mercies.

May we experience God in the fullness of His mercies!

You will have good success this 2016.

 Remain blessed.

Shalom.

Forget Not His Benefits

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Psalms 68:19  Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.

Psalms 103:-
1 – “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth  all thy diseases;
4  Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who  crowneth thee with lovingkindness  and tender mercies;
5  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that  thy youth is renewed like the eagle's”

The word  “Bless” here means  “to speak well of, or to  utter an appreciation.” God is worthy of our gratitude, adoration, appreciation, thanks, and our highest praises.

Forget not all His benefits unto you. Have you counted up your benefits lately? Your benefits from the Lord?

Do you realize how much you have?

And not just material possessions but in every way. We are blessed by God in many ways!
Every good and perfect gift is from above!

We sometimes forget the gracious hand that blesses us every day with choice bounties!  All the benefits of God are there for you to enjoy. It’s up to you to establish them firmly in your heart so you can forget them not!

You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed. Shalom.
