Psalm 102:13 “THOU SHALT ARISE, and HAVE MERCY UPON ZION: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.”

One of the indisputable attributes of God is His Overflowing Mercy. God, Who is extremely Holy, is also extremely merciful. Psalm 103:8 “The Lord is Merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and Plenteous In Mercy.” When the Bible starts describing God in His Mercy, He concludes with His MERCY. Mercy is the nature, character and attribute of God.

Hosea 6:6 “For I Desired Mercy, And Not Sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” God delights so much in showing mercy. God’s Mercy is not based on human works or morality. God Himself declares; Romans 9:15-16 “For He saith to Moses, I Will Have Mercy On Whom I Will Have Mercy, And I Will Have Compassion On Whom I Will Have Compassion; So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, But Of God That Sheweth Mercy.” God chooses to meet and relate with mankind on the platform of His mercy – the Mercy Seat and throne of Grace.

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.” Mercy qualifies the disqualified and makes the “vessels of mercy” to enjoy Divine Benevolence and Opulence. Romans 9:23 “And that He might make known The Riches Of His Glory on the “Vessels Of Mercy,” which He had afore prepared unto glory.” We Gentile believers are referred to as “Vessels Of Mercy” and as such, God has decided to bestow upon us, His Dignity, Glory and Honour.

Once you give your life to JESUS the Messiah – Who also is the MERCY of God INCARNATED in the flesh, you become qualified to enjoy God’s Supernatural Mercy. Today, no matter who you are, through the Lord Jesus, you can experience the four levels of God’s Supernatural Mercies (1) General Mercy: Psalm 145:9 “The LORD is good to all: and His tender Mercies Are Over All His Works”. Everyone alive today is being sustained by God’s Mercy that is new every morning. You are a Carrier of God’s mercy, if you are alive. His tender mercies are over all His works. (2) Encompassed Mercy: “Psalm 32:10 “Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, Mercy Shall Compass Him About” Genesis 32:10 “I am not worthy of the least of All The Mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.”

As you trust in the LORD, God’s mercy will encompass every area of your life. Jacob – a nobody became a Somebody. With the “encompassed Mercy” – you become Something Else. You become a conglomerate – from Zero to Hero. (3) Sure Mercies: Isaiah 55:3 “Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the Sure Mercies Of David”. This is A Covenant Mercy that is a Sure Banker any day, anytime.

Things work for you because you are under the covenant of Sure Mercies. (4) Great Mercy; 2 Chronicles 1:8 “And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed Great Mercy unto David my father, and hast Made Me To Reign in his stead”. Luke 1:58 “And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the LORD had shewed Great Mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.” Great mercy causes Great things to happen in your life globally, nationally and historically.

Great Mercy enthrones you and grants you Supernatural recognition. Today, receive these four levels of God’s Supernatural Mercy in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.
Prayer: Father God, I come in the Name of JESUS to receive Your unmerited kindness. I trust in You for Your Mercy to Permeate every area of my life. Lord, make my life an illustration of Your Great Mercy. Amen.
