Mercy is all we need


I arrived home and walked into the house. Power was out, and the light from my phone wasn't sufficient, but I managed it and found my way around the house. I quickly fixed something for us to eat before Jane arrived home. She came just in time. I dished the food, and while we waited for it to cool down a bit, Jane had just gotten some new items and decided to do a little fash par...(Fashion Parade). I watched, and we both laughed.

*Friendship remains one of the best gifts GOD gave to man. Having a friend who sincerely laughs with you out of a pure heart is something to be grateful for.

Back to the story...

We decided to eat. Everyone had a spot where we sat to eat. So without looking, I moved down from the bed with my back to hit my spot and as I did, Jane shouted, and I moved back onto the bed and turned round to see what she had seen. I remained still for about 2 minutes speaking under my breathe over and over; "Lord have mercy".

Pause....

Mercy is one attribute of GOD I love. I realize that's the first thing that comes out of my mouth in times of danger or trouble. Back at Uyo, we woke up to the cries of fire one night. The sight was bad, and to worsen it, there was just one exit out, and the fire was at the exit. I just put my hands before my chest and kept pleading for mercy until GOD showed up.

Back to the story...

It was a large scorpion positioned to sting. It was waiting on the spot where I usually sat to eat with my friends. It was GOD who made Jane see.

...I look back, and I know mercy intervened.

Mercy is not for sinners, mercy is everyone, and I'm so glad GODs mercies are new every morning. Mercy will open doors you didn't knock on, it will give you what you don't deserve and so much more.

One thing I asked GOD for this year is Mercy. Why? Cos I have come to understand that it's not by power, not by intelligence, not by beauty, not by knowing the right persons, not by anything...if GOD doesn't show you mercy, then you are finished.

May His mercy speak for you in the New Month.

Yspot!

    I remember this incident as I read it. It was scary and assuring at the same time. God's mercy did show up.....He showed up. And yes!!! Mercy is priceless.
    Friendship from a pure heart is as refreshing as cold water on a hot day in the desert. Love you sis

      Indeed, scary and reassuring at the same time. It was a strong reminder GOD was watching over us. Can't recall where Ada was that night. Love you too dear.

    Science can tell you why the seemingly imminent scorpion sting was averted: Jane's keen sight, your quick reflex, just enough lighting causing glare on the scorpion's shell etc. ...and that is fine.
    When the probability of all these events aligning and working perfectly at that exact time is almost zero, ...but it happened in spite of the odds, then you know you have received Mercy.

      Hhahhhahaha exactly @ almost zero. Science always has a way of explaining the supernatural, however, we know the truth...

"Hello everyone! How did April treat you? Today marks Grace's final post with us. We're really going to miss her. Thank you, Grace, for consistently sharing timely and insightful posts over the past 12 months. May you reap the rewards of the seeds you've sown. Amen!" Grace, we eagerly anticipate your return to the blog. *** This is the 12th part series of these write ups and the last one on “Moments with Grace”. As I round up, I would like to remind us of the need to stay alert in the Spirit in this perverse generation. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 says: “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.“ ‭Nowadays, a lot of things try to get our attention thereby pulling us off our focus on our dear Saviour Jesus Christ. However we must always remember Jesus our promised Messiah came in the flesh, died and resurrected, presently seats at the right hand of the throne of God the Father Almighty and is soon coming back again to take us hom

Hello People, The first half of the year ends in few hours 💃 I look back and all I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! The first day of the year came with the promise of a travel gift from GOD. It was so clear, and I held onto it. Fast forward to the month of February, an opportunity presented itself but the timing was short and it looked impossible cos getting a visa in that short period seemed close to impossible. I almost let it go but I was encouraged by some friends to give it a try. As I mustered the strength to, I remembered what GOD had promised, so I equipped myself with it, booked an appointment and went to the embassy, the Wednesday before the due date for my trip. I walked to the counter when it was my turn to submit my documents. The lady I met, looked at me, and asked: “when are you to travel?” I replied “Sunday”. She stared at me and said “today is Wednesday, its not possible for you to travel on Sunday”. I looked at her and smiled, please go ahead. She said “are you su

SEE YOURSELF THROUGH HIS EYES…. …She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above Rubies or Pearls! “Why do you always walk with your head down?” I paused and considered. This was a question someone asked me some years ago… the only answer I could muster was a sheepish smile. The truth is, back then; I was suffering from what most people battle with. Those were the days I had relied heavily on my big sister in order to dress stylishly. To me, she could do no wrong; she was the “koko”. Now I’m not saying she wasn’t (she still is) all that, but I came to realize on time that I couldn’t run to my sister every time I had to baff up. I had to come to terms with the fact that I was my own person and I needed to develop my own style. It wasn’t instant success o and yes, I am still perfecting the art (it’s a process). I did make 1 or 2 flops (ok maybe 3….ok ok…more than 3), but this issue of style became effortless when I decided to try the “inside-out” approach…
