TOPIC: WHAT GOD REQUIRED FROM US 4: Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 32, Day 4: Wednesday, 3 August, 2022. TOPIC: WHAT GOD REQUIRED FROM US 4:

“For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.”

Our God is not a God that’s controlled by sacrifices, burnt offering or gifts of money. Many things determines the acceptability of our offerings to God as we have being studying since three days ago. Today, another thing God requires from us before receiving our offerings is to “Show Mercy to others” not just sacrifice. If I may ask this morning, How merciful are you to strangers? How merciful are you to those who need your help? Didn’t you have criteria before showing mercy to others? They must be your tribal person, your family, those that have helped you in time past, you select who to show mercy. Some even believe they are to be shown mercy and not the other way round.

Sacrifice can’t take the place of being merciful. The truth is this, until you are merciful to others you can’t receive mercy. Showing mercy is in sizes; giving a helping hand, lifting one’s burden in your own little way, reaching out to the lonely, that is mercy. Don’t be carried away by your offerings, tithe and seed of faith alone but be merciful in all you do. Most times you need to bend the rules to help people around you live. Are you merciful at all? Be merciful to people around you, both great and small.

God Bless you and Good Morning.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
