Open Heaven 13 April 2022 Message
Our memory verse says that
you cannot build a house except you obtain mercy from God, neither can there be
safety unless He provides it. In other words, there is virtually nothing good a
man can achieve without the mercy of God which provides the platform for His
help.

I received a letter not long ago from someone who said he had started
building a house in 1981 and up to the time he was writing the letter (over 30
years later), he hadn’t roofed it yet. It is only by Gods mercy that you can
start and finish any project successfully.
Thus, it doesn’t matter how many bodyguards you have, unless God has mercy
on you, your life is not protected. You can have bodyguards against hired
assassins and armed robbers, but can you have bodyguards against sicknesses?.
Can you have bodyguards against spiritual attacks? Only Gods mercy can
truly protect you.No matter how much you labour at anything, you cannot succeed
without the mercy of God. It is Gods mercy that grants us the help we need.
Many years ago, the son of a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God
had just finished his degree abroad and his father was rejoicing. He told his
father something frightening that day; he said, Dad,
I know that you sent me abroad to study because you love me, but thank your
God that I did not end up disgracing you because of the kind of friends I found
myself amongst in school.
The father was doing the right thing by sending his child to a good school,
but, had it not been for the mercy of God, he would have regretted it. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 says Paul may
plant, Apollo may water, but it is God who gives increase.
From my personal experience I know you can get to the exam hall and just
blank out. Farmers can have no harvest even though they did all that they
should to get one.
A hardworking fisherman like Peter can fish all night and catch nothing
(Luke 5:5). That is why wise people, when they need help, ask God for mercy. In
Mark 10:47, Bartimaeus kept crying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
Jesus had mercy on him.
In Luke 17:11-19, the ten lepers saw Jesus, stood far away and cried for
mercy; they were cleansed. What is that problem you need a solution to? Change
your prayer point today and just ask God for mercy.
Open Heaven 13 April 2022 PRAYER POINT:
Father, please have mercy on me. Help me overcome all my problems, in Jesus
name.
Open Heaven 13 April 2022 HYMN: HAVE YOU BEEN TO JESUS
1. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you tully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
CHORUS
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
2. Are you walking daily by the Saviour’s side?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
3. When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white!
Pure and white in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for His mansions bright,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?
4. Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb.
