TOPIC: GOD'S MERCY
TEXT: matt9:13, Ecl9:11
NATURE: CHALLENGE

The Bible says in Roms 9:16, 'So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.' I want you to understand this today that it is not sinners alone that needs the Mercy of God, but all who must become something in His hand. No amount of sacrifice can be substituted for His mercy. No one can become anything significant in God's hand without His mercy.

I tell you a mystery today, you can never fulfil your destiny in God without obtaining His mercy. He desires mercy and not sacrifice. Not because you've sinned, but that God's mercy is a requirement if you must fulfill your destiny in God. Fulfilling your destiny in God is not a matter of your desire or how fast you run. Other translations of that scriptures (Rom9:16) says,

- It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or
effort, but on God's mercy. NIV
- So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can
neither choose it nor work for it. NLT
- So then it depends not on human will or exertion,
but on God, who has mercy. ESV
- Compassion doesn't originate in our bleeding hearts or moral sweat, but in God's mercy. MSG
-
And so God’s blessings are not given just because someone decides to have them or works hard to get them. They are given because God takes pity on those he wants to. TLB

I challenge you today, go to God in prayers today to plead for His mercy over your life and destiny, because that is one of the Key prerequisite to fulfilling your destiny in God.

FFT: Eccl 9:11

- Again I looked throughout the earth and saw that the swiftest person does not always win the race, nor the strongest man the battle, and that wise men are often poor, and skillful men are not necessarily famous; but it is all by chance, by happening to be at the right place at the right time. TLB
- I have observed something else under the sun. The
fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the
strongest warrior doesn't always win the battle. The
wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not
necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated
don't always lead successful lives. It is all decided
by chance, by being in the right place at the right
time.NLT
- I saw something else under the sun. The race isn't
[won] by fast runners, or the battle by heroes. Wise
people don't necessarily have food. Intelligent
people don't necessarily have riches, and skilled
people don't necessarily receive special treatment.
But time and unpredictable events overtake all of
them. GWT
