THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL...
DATE: WED, 13TH MAY 2015.
THEME: GOD IS STILL MERCIFUL
MEMORY VERSE:
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. Micah 7:18

TEXT: Isaiah 54:9-12
9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.


10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

MESSAGE
Month of Mercy(May) is a particular and special month in Chosen calendar. We need to appreciate the goodness of God whose attributes have mercy as a central point. It is the mercy of God that kept us alive in the midst of worsening insecurity situation across the country. It is the mercy of God that protects us because the Bible made us to understand that the entire world lies under the sway of the wicked one (1 John 5:19).

Because His mercy endures forever, that means it has no expiry date, you can be sure it is available for you to deal with that situation or that matter that poses a challenge to you; it could be in the area of child bearing, sickness, turbulent marriage, long period of being single, loss of job, business failure, court case, troublesome children or family members or even neighbours. Remember, God is still faithful and because you trust in His mercy He is able to intervene in that matter which has occupied and tasked your patience and hope.

Please, read Isaiah 54:9-12 over again and see the greatness of God's mercy. It is from the mercy of God that we derive the kindness of God which the Bible reveals cannot be removed or shifted. The Bible used illustrations that are very apt in showing how great God's kindness can be: see Isaiah 54:10 "for the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee."
I don't know how many of us have seen mountain. Some mountain bases can be as large as a small clan. That is what God says can break and split or depart. What about hills? Hills are giant natural formations that are both fearful in size and imagination. Can you imagine a hill being removed?

The Bible used these two natural phenomena to illustrate what God can do. It shows how great His kindness can be. If these two natural phenomena can be removed as against the kindness of God, you are rest assured that God will always be on your side. Your matter touches him at all times

PRAYER POINTS:
* Thank God for His promise in
Isaiah 54:10.

* Begin to claim God's kindness
over every suspect of your life.

AMEND YOUR WAYS:
If you are not born again you must do something as a matter of urgency. He that commits sin is of the devil (1 John 3:8).

If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, gossiping, taking or giving bribe, selfishness,
kidnapping. If you are into masturbation, fornication, adultery, prostitution, abortion, lesbianism, homosexuality, you need to repent.

Are you into idolatry, do you make or use charms, rituals, bow down to images, Are you into occultism?

Do you smoke cigarette, cocaine, heroine? Are you lusting, covetous, alcohol drinking, divorcee or into worldliness?, you must stop bleaching your body, or painting your lips, eyes, fixing attachments, weave-on, earrings (Gen 35:2-4)

Are you one of those that put on nude dresses, short skirts, transparent dresses to seduce
(A seducer is not a Christian) do you wear trouser as a woman?

Repent and give your life to Jesus Christ.

LET'S PRAY:

If you want to give your life to JESUS pray this short prayer with me:

Almighty God, I come unto you in the name of Jesus. Father I confess that I am a sinner. All my sins I confess to you. I am very sorry for all my sins.
Lord I promise you that from today I will never continue in them anymore.
I believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again on the third day for my justification. Almighty God, use the blood of Jesus to wash my sins away. Lord Jesus, come into my heart, be my Lord and Personal Savior.
I surrender my life to you.
Cancel my name from the book of death and give me grace to make Heaven.

AMEN!
