Heaven 31 January 2021 Sunday MESSAGE:
The mercy of God is a deep expression of His love to mankind; it
is so much that the natural mind cannot make sense of it (Ephesians 2:4). A
person can labour all his life and make no headway, but when God shows mercy,
such a fellow would move from grass to grace in no time at all. Joseph was a
slave, labouring for his master for years and then found himself wrongfully
imprisoned. One day however, God arranged for the king to summon him and within
minutes, he became the second most powerful man in Egypt. If someone had told
Joseph that morning that he would be the Prime Minister before nightfall, he
would have called the person a joker. Who knew him, and by the way, who would
make a prisoner Prime Minister? That is however what the mercy of God can do.
It does not matter how low you are right now; the mercy of God will lift you
higher than your dreams in Jesus’ name.

Good!
If there is only one fellow I know who has enjoyed the mercy of
God, it is I. I am a little boy from a village that was not on the map until
not very long ago. In that village, my family was one of the poorest and least
recognized, yet God showed me mercy. Today, by the grace of God, the name
Adeboye is known in several countries of the world. If you also want to become
great, you need His mercy. You get this mercy by simply asking for it as we see
in Hebrews 4:16:
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we
may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
Exodus 25:17 gives us a hint of the position we should take when
seeking His mercy. You will notice that in the dimensions therein, there is no
height; just length and breadth. This mercy seat is one that you go flat on, in
humility. It is when you have completely laid yourself bare before God that you
can enjoy His mercy. When you say “Go ahead and use me for whatever You want,
Lord”, then you are ready. In all that Joseph went through, not once did he
complain or contemplate rejecting God. If you still give God terms and
conditions, then you are not yet ready for His divine mercy.
Open Heaven 31 January 2021 Sunday Prayer Point:
Lord, I surrender my will completely to You from today; please
show me mercy.

Heaven 31 January 2021 Sunday Hymn 28: What A Friend We Have In Jesus
1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3. Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
4. Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
