God is so rich in mercy

One proof of love is consistent and unwavering mercy. Love does not love if It is not merciful. The Bible tells us that the mercies of the Lord endure forever. Most times our minds are not able to fully comprehend the import of what forever is. Someone has said that forever is a long time. No, that is not correct. Forever is everlasting, unending.

And because none of us has ever seen what forever looks like or what it is measured as, we just imagine a concept that runs for as long as long can be. But forever is unending, that is how the mercies of the Lord are toward you.

"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us," (Eph.2.4)

God is rich in mercy because He has great love. One cannot experience mercy, except there is an iota of love. Because God has great love, His mercies endure forever.

A man cannot forgive his wife, nor a woman forgives her husband because there is no commensurate amount of love. Mercy can only be experienced to the extent to which there is love.

We are constantly assured of God's mercy because of God's great and constant love. You can be assured of God's mercy irrespective of what you have done or will do. There is nothing you can do to make God unlove you, therefore there is nothing you can do to make God not show you mercy. Yeah, someone will say Jesus said if you sin against the Holy Ghost, you will not be forgiven. To sin against the Holy Ghost is to reject the love and therefore the mercy of God.

"There's nothing done or said that can't be forgiven. But if you deliberately persist in your slanders against God's Spirit, you are repudiating the very One who forgives. If you reject the Son of Man out of some misunderstanding, the Holy Spirit can forgive you, but when you reject the Holy Spirit, you're sawing off the branch on which you're sitting, severing by your own perversity all connection with the One who forgives." (Matt.12.31- 32 MSG)

God is rich in mercy because of his great love

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
