Text: Genesis 39:21 (KJV)
But the Lord was with Joseph, and
shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Taking the life of Joseph as a case study, we can see
that the Lord showed mercy to him and in all the battles of life he saw himself,
he had victory. Mercy can answer for us even before the keepers of that prison
situation. It is so great to see Joseph
enjoy mercy to the fullest because it is a driving force for us as believers. Mercy
makes us to enjoy compassion in place of punishment. The beautiful part is that the seat
of mercy will always give you victory no matter what storm or wicked plot
against you. This tells us that this seat of mercy can grant anyone who is
connected to it divine access. In Acts 7:9- And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was
with him. We see
in this scripture that God was with Joseph and we also saw that in our text of
today. And this tells us that you having a deep relationship with God grants
you a great privilege which is, He is also with you and
when God is with a man, they enjoy blessings and mercies in abundance.
In the world today, we need mercy more than ever because the
challenges and obstacles of life are so numerous and unpredictable, but it is
God’s mercy that can preserve and exempt a man from all of those things. Hebrews 4:16- Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. We must strive to gain access to
God’s heart and to find favour in His sight, and in so doing, we will enjoy the
benefits of sitting on that seat of mercy. So I encourage each and every one of
us to settle in His presence, so as to enjoy God’s mercies to the fullest.
Always remember Proverbs
16:7- When a man's ways please the Lord, he
maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
PRAYER POINTS:
1.Oh Lord, please show us mercy as you showed to Joseph at
every stage of his life, in Jesus name.
2. Father, please help us to sit on the seat of mercy, so as
to attract testimonies that will wipe away all punishments, in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE:
Take away doubts because God can still show you His
mercy.
