TOPIC: JOY AS AN APPENDAGE OF MERCY

BIBLE READING: 1 PETER 1:8
          BY

PASTOR PHILIP ONI

His name is Jesus, it’s the name that is above every other name. He’s the one that knows it all... Thank you Lord, glory and glory be unto your holy name.

It’s only the living that can praise God. Thank you Lord...

This is the Season of Joy unspeakable.

Joy unspeakable is a level of Joy that we cannot understand, and that joy can only come from God.

God is the same yesterday today and forever.

This is the level of joy you’ll experience when you know God.

1 Peter 1:8 KJV

“whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory”

Declare to yourself, My joy will be full, My joy will be unspeakable, in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen!

When God set you for a realm of glory, that will mean joy unspeakable.

That level of joy is possible. God can do it for you, he will do it for us, in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen!

That level of joy that God is taking us to can only be explained when we know him.

So therefore, joy is internal. it is a product of being with and knowing God, which is produced from the spirit of the living God in form of Pro...

So there is another level of this joy that we are talking about, that can only be given through mercy.

That is why our topic today is, joy as an Appendage of Mercy. It is what is attached with mercy.

That’s what took us to the book of Jame2:13

“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” James 2:13 KJV 

God created a throne that is above every other throne called the Seat of Mercy.

The highest seat in the throne of God is the Seat of Mercy...

In the Seat of Mercy, the only thing that come out there is mercy.

 You are going to tell it to God that, father! With the revelation of this, please move my name from judgment seat to seat of mercy in the name of Jesus. Amen! Every area of my life that the enemy ha been accusing me, lord please take my case to your seat of Mercy in Jesus name. Father please help me that I may obtain mercy.

I don’t know the area that you need God, is it over your famliy?, over your carrier?, is it over sickness,... tell it to God now, i bring it unto you Lord, let my case be attended to at your mercy seat. Attend to me at your mercy seat Lord, in Jesus mighty name we pray, Amen!

So, the mercy of God bring forth a level of joy that human beings will just say if not for God, if not for God, I don’t know what would have happened to me. If not for God will become our testimony in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen. This is the Season of joy unspeakable.

We have not seen God before, but we believe that there’s God. And that is the level of joy we get when we relate with God.

We need mercy. God has not refused any one who genuinely seek for mercy.

There are some Differentiation tribute of Mercy or

ATTRIBUTE OF MERCY

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.

[16] So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

Romans 9:15-16 KJV

 Tell God to show You mercy in everything you do. Lord have mercy on me ooh Lord.

(2) Mercy as a product of Mercy Mercy begotten from Mercy. Mathew 5:7 “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” Mathew 5:7

Forgive and show mercy on those that wrong you so that God can also have mercy on you. Show mercy to all that have wronged you.

Righteousness mean do the right things at the right time and always aright. Father help me to do good. Lord help me to always sow in Righteousness in the mighty name of Jesus.

(4) Love for God by KKeepingof his Commandments

Deuteronomy 7:9 KJV

It’s not enough to come to church, we must practice the love of God.

Love God in all your ways, and keep his commandments.

(5) Be Humble Job 33:27-28 KJV
