VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIVING 2

*Study scripture*

*James 2:13*
For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. *_Mercy triumphs over judgment._*

*VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIVING 2*

Woow! What a huge Statement this is that ” *_Mercy triumphs over Judgement_* “! In “Victorious Christian Living 1″ we learnt that to effectively ” *Punish all Disobedience* “, we have a role to play, a principle to follow in all this and that’s to ” *Have our obedience fulfilled* “. Its one way we resist the Devil from sowing seeds of Doubt and unbelief in us; by doing what’s expected of us.

However, there are multiple times when we fall short of what is expected of us. In truth, we intended to have ” *Our obedience fulfilled* ” but just failed due to some weaknesses in the flesh. Is there really no hope for us in such times as those but only Judgement? From today’s theme Scripture, we learn that actually there is tonnes of hope for Mercy triumphs over any Judgement.

*_Faith in God and Mercy are weighter matters of the law than Judgement will ever be._* (Matthew 23:23) Yes, God desires to extend Mercy to you more than Judgement. What is Mercy? *_Mercy is when God doesn’t permit us to face the Judgement or punishment we deserve_* . Our God is so merciful so much His mercies rejuvenate every morning and never come to an End ( *Lamentations 3:22-23* ). God’s Mercy Bank never runs dry Amen. Am I saying take His mercies for granted; God forbid! That’s not what am teaching.

What am saying is that ” *_For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all [points] tempted as [we are, yet] without sin._* ” (Hebrews 4:15).
God is more than ready sympathize with our weaknesses. Yes, may I didn’t read enough for that exam the judgement is failure or maybe I haven’t loved my wife enough and am judged to have my marriage fail etc but… We serve a Merciful God, I will therefore ask for His Mercy after all we don’t have because we dont ask ( *James 4:2* ) and its also written in *(Matthew 7:7)* that Ask and you shall receive; Mercy inclusive. _Have you messed up yet you have a repentant heart? Ask and take advantage of the unending ever New Mercies of God for your life ._

*NUGGET*
