Title - Be Merciful
Teacher:- Pastor Paul Orimolusi
Main Text:- Matt 5:7
Bible Passages:- Duet 4:31, Lamentations 3:22-23, Prov 21:13, James 1:27
One of God's Characteristics/Nature is His mercies (Duet 4:31, Lamentations 3:22-23) and he wants us to be like Him (Matt 5:7)
Even when Jesus came to this world, everything He did was out of mercy Matt 14:14
Characteristics of the merciful
1. Open his/her ears to the cry of the needy (Prov 21:13)
2. Visit the Orphans/Widows in their affliction (James 1:27)
3. Share the joy they have in Christ Jesus with others (not stingy rather generous) Mark 1:40-45
4. Follow up with members or coleagues who you haven't heard from in a while or going through one form of trouble
5. Encourage the backsliders
Blessings that can be acquired for being merciful
- God will answer your prayers
- You will never be stranded
- God will fight your battles
- The law of harvest will catch up with you. (Because Whatever u sow, u shall reap)
Prayer Point:
Father Please help me to be merciful just as you are merciful
