Over the years, I have observed that the more powerful some people become, the more wicked they turn out to be. When they are not yet in a position of authority, they will appear humble, but once they have a little taste of power, they act as if they are God. This is what makes my Father very different: He is a merciful God. In spite of all His power and majesty, He remains merciful. Having experienced God’s mercy, David thus wrote in Psalm 40:1-2:
“I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”
God is so full of mercy, and there is no one who cannot benefit from His mercy. When powerful people know that no one can query them, they do whatever they like. God is however different! Even though He is the Almighty God and He is all powerful, yet His mercy endures forever. Every time you call upon Him, you can be sure His grace will speak for you. Ephesians 2:4 says
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,”
God’s grace grants us access to the things we don’t deserve. There are many of us who are what we are only by His grace. If not for His grace, some of us would not be alive today, if not for His grace; some of us would have no roof over our heads. If not for His grace, how would some of us have anyone willing to help us? There are many opportunities we have misused in the past, and yet we have not lived to regret this because of His grace. If not for His mercy, some of us wouldn’t have recovered from the consequences of our past life.

Can you imagine a person like Saul, who persecuted the Church of God, becoming a mighty apostle of the gospel? If I were God, I would not have saved his soul, especially when I think of the extent of the damage he single-handedly caused the Body of Christ. I then suddenly realised that I also was once in sin like him. When grace and mercy are at work in a person’s life, he will begin to make his boast in the Lord. Can you imagine Paul saying he had wronged no one (2nd Corinthians 7:2)? He could say this because the grace and mercy of God had washed away all his past misdeeds. When mercy is at work, every sinner has a future, and when grace is speaking, every saint has no past. God is telling you today that He can have mercy on you. All you need to do is to make up your mind that all the days of your life, you will continue to fear Him and walk in His ways.

Lol.... Pele na

While Mercies and Grace of God exists, lets not forget he is a just God. I belong to the few who believes regardless of turning to God, you must pay for certain wrong we did. Was there no merciful God when Moses was stopped to enter the promised land?

I know that Yahweh is fake what do you Know?

God show love and justice towards creation. Whoever sinfully violate Gods Will can be lovingly forgiven provided he seriously turn to God for mercy. God will not accept half hearted repentance from us, but a serious attempt to turn a new leaf

I know you lack brain

When u pray it's important u access GOD'sThrone of Mercy before u begin to ask or fire any person ..

The Mercy of GOD Grants us Answers to All things....

Better than to have the brain of sheeps

Yahweh is manmade, Christians claim their god's thoughts, desires and motivations are unknowable by humans and yet these same Christians know exactly what their god thinks about certain topics. Ever notice that when someone claims to know the Christian god's thoughts that this god has exactly the same opinions and prejudices as his mouthpiece?

You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God has the same opinion as you. ~Anne Lamott

Lol, all the atheist in this thread thinking they are hot shit because they read about big bang theory.

You're exposing your ignorance here

Big Bang theory is NOT an atheistic claim! Big Bang was first proposed by a THEIST, Georges Lemaître who was a belgian physicist and roman catholic priest; even the Pope at the time, The Pius XII , wanted to make it part of the Christian doctrine as "proof of god"

You waste your time trying to prove the inexistence of God, while there are proofs and valid arguments to counter your assertion. You rally round, thinking you're hurting God; not knowing you're hurting yourself. And the end of the day, the painful reality would stare you in the face. Your unbelief is entirely your problem. Even demons believe that there's a God. These atheists needs to read the bible more.

AFTER ALL THIS...
NOTHING FAILS LIKE PRAYERS.

That's yours, my prayers have always been answered and always will.

Clap for yourself.
I love your response.

Why do you pray to god in the 1st place? Isn't God omnipotent, omniaware, omniknowing etc?
If he's omni-all, why pray? Is he not aware of your problems.?

Why pray to him if he's the master planner of everything. Doesn't you know he planned every problem you're encountering

For the fact HE knows your problem doesn't mean you shouldn't pray.

Your father know your needs, why do you request from him your school fees? You should have sit back there and relax, shebi it's his responsibilities to cater for your needs and see if it will happen.

Our prayers to God, it's like reminder.
That's our tools of communicating with HIM,
An adage says.... Ask and you shall be given.

Wait, why am I even telling you this...

Fall sick for a moment, then you will appreciate how precious good health is.

If God takes the hands you are using to type this poo, or blinds those eyes you are using to see this update, then you will know you need more than prayer in your life.
Now you are saying God forbid abi, I know... That 'God forbid' it's a prayer on its own.

Either you like it or not, you do pray consciously or unconsciously.

Your wishes alone, I want to be this and that are all form prayers.

Receive sense biko
