1. God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. (Matthew 5:6)

Now you have to understand this; it is not a bad defending the rights of others, protecting other people is not a bad cause, though some people may misinterpret your cause; a lot people are of the mindset that it is not your business to defend others, they will say, “What is your own business there?” In fact some people even see you defending yourself as bad. They want you to just keep shut when you are cheated, you shouldn’t ask for justice.

Yet the Bible says you are blessed when you hunger and thirst for justice because you will be satisfied.

To be satisfied means you will get justice, it means you will get the desired results from that petition.


2. God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (Matthew 5: 7)

When you are merciful, you are kind, and you will receive kindness, when you are merciful, you are quick to forgive, and you will receive forgiveness, when you are merciful, you are compassionate, and you will receive compassion.

Let me give you an illustration; maybe you are this kind of person people always come to you for help and assistance like money, valuable advises, counseling, and any form of help, every time they come to you, you always give, you always help, you don’t care whether it’s your last penny, you don’t care whether anyone else has helped you, you always have mercy on others even when it is not convenient for you. Sometimes you may even get hurt for the help you rendered, for the mercy you showed, yet you still help, yet you still showed mercy. It is you the Bible is referring to here.

Let me authoritatively inform you today, your mercy is not wasted because the Bible says, blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

One day you will be stranded on a lonely road, it could be a broken down vehicle, it may even be in another different situation, may you need an urgent financial assistance, or you have a challenge that you need someone to advice you, and from nowhere, from someone you don’t know from anywhere, you will receive mercy.

Your vehicle might breakdown on a dangerous road full of armed robbers, rapists, and you are in danger of attack, and someone from nowhere just stops by to give you a help!

You will be wondering what you did that made the person to show you such kindness, it’s your past sowing… whatever a man sows he shall reap, good or bad!

You have been sowing good and now the Bible says, you will reap good, it says, because you are merciful are you are blessed, and because you are blessed, you will also receive mercy.
