ABOVE ALL CIRCUMSTANCES

Life situations often revolve around circumstances. Nothing happens until a circumstance warrants it. You are who, where, and how you are today based on one circumstance or the other. For instance, you don't see stars shining in the afternoon, nor have you seen the moon shining in the day. The circumstances that surround this period do not permit the stars and the moon to shine when the sun is fully active. Sometimes it works in your favor, and many times it works against you. No matter who you are, the circumstances of life are either there to stop you or to help you. But, I pray for you today, every circumstance that comes your way shall help you a step further in the name of Jesus. What is the meaning of circumstance ? 1. Circumstance is the reason why something was possible or not. 2. Circumstance explains how a certain matter unfolds 3. Circumstance gives the total account of the situation 4. Circumstance is an event or situation that you cannot control ...

Mercy Is Categorized



There is mercy, there is extravagant mercy, and there is New Testament mercy.
When a little offense is committed judging from the eyes of men, an ordinary mercy is required for such an individual to be forgiven. But, when the offense is a big one like killing, robbery and such like, it takes an extraordinary mercy for the person to be pardoned.

However, if there is a means by which we can offend God in a big form, it is by unbelief and doubt. Hebrew 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please God”. This simply means, without faith, we can not make God happy, we can not get His attention and we will not be able to interact with Him.

Taking a look at the incident in 2 Kings 7:1-20 for instance; God was about to reverse the famine in Samaria, then He spoke through Elisha that there would be a drastic change in 24 hours. The minister of economy in that nation took a study within himself regarding his vast knowledge in economy, and then he said it is not possible. Honestly speaking, it is very dangerous to fall into the hand of God. He doubted the word of God and this led to his untimely death.

But, when God told Abraham in Genesis18:9-12 about the fulfilment of His word on the promised child, Sarah overheard the Lord from behind; she doubted and even laughed God to scorn. Yet, God handled it differently. Nevertheless, she got away with it but, for the extravagant mercy of God.

Instead of judgment like in the case of the minister of economy in Samaria, Sarah was preserved to witness and enjoy God’s promise.
This is an extraordinary mercy of God.

Unbelief denied and hindered million of Jews access to the Promised Land. The same could have hindered Sarah but for the mercy of God. She entered her promised land.
The law demands that man be put to death when sin is committed but mercy says no and imparts life to man even when the same law is violated.

What Sarah enjoyed was the extravagant mercy of God and the same is still available
today only if we believe in the name of Jesus.
