HAVE MERCY ON ME OH LORD

Post date: Oct 16, 2014 2:33:52 AM

Despite the greatness or difficulties of your dreams, your visions and your desires, despite the number of years you have been holding unto your faith in Christ Jesus and believing in all the promises of God for your life, despite the number of shameful disappointments, denials and delays that you have suffered in the hands of people in almost everything, as long as Jesus Christ still remains your Lord, and the Almighty God is keeping you alive and active, you are a true candidate for His miraculous turnaround, blessings, provisions and leadership,

Despite what people are saying to you and despite your strong bad feelings, there is absolutely nothing impossible with the Almighty God you serve, there is absolutely nothing too hard for Him to do when you ask, when you wait on Him, when you follow Him faithfully and diligently, and there is nothing He will not do for His own children. Giving you another merciful chance is not a big deal for Him, is not impossible for Him; giving you another opportunity to be what you want to be is never impossible; giving another privilege to stand up and stand out is never too much for your God, He had done the same for others and will do it again in your life.

God will never keep a record of your sins if you truly ask for forgiveness, He will never keep the records of your past failures, and will never hate you for wasting His resources, but will always demand you give account of them. Giving you another opportunity to life free from guilt is possible, giving another opportunity to show forth your talents and be recognized and rewarded is not impossible. Giving you a second or third chance to be the best is His desire.   

Apostle Peter was another person who went astray from his relationship with Jesus Christ and from his calling as an apostle due to doubts, fears and uncertainty, but in his true  humility and sincerity of purpose, Christ Jesus found him in the wrong place doing the wrongs thing and mercifully restored him. God’s mercies has the power to restore you and restore the things you have lost; has the power to restore your dreams and restore your steps in following those dreams. God’s mercies restores hope and restores joy in living for Christ and pursuing His ways with all diligence even when people speak of your past. God’s mercies will take you beyond your present difficult situation.  

Rahab was a prostitute and a gentile but her goodwill towards the Children of Israel when she hid the spies who came to spy the land of Jericho from being arrested and killed received mercy from the Almighty for herself and her household. That was a chance to change profession and to believe in the God who alone can change lives, change situations, and change profession. God’s mercies will always change lives, change visions, dreams and desires. Making ways where they were none and granting hope when all is lost.

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in him. The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. It is good for one to bear the yoke in youth, to sit alone in silence when the Lord has imposed it, to put one's mouth to the dust there may yet be hope, to give one's cheek to the smiter, and be filled with insults. For the Lord will not reject forever. Although he causes grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; for he does not willingly afflict or grieve anyone.” Lamentation 3:22-33

The thief on the right hand of Jesus Christ on the cross blew away his chances of a better life doing what was absolutely wrong, harmful and completely unacceptable, but he received mercy when he asked for one with an assurance. You may have blown away many chances to make great gains in life, but because you are seeking God‘s hands of mercy, He is giving you another merciful chance to be what He had said concerning you.
