BIBLE TEXT: MTTHEW 5:7
Let Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Somebody says that the moment you begin to hear “BER” at the end of the name of a Month – September, October, November, December; then you should know that the end of the Year has come.
The God that has kept you so far to see the Month of September; that same God will see you through the Year.
- So, let us go ahead and bless His Holy ‐ Let’s give Him Glory, Honour and Adoration.
Say Thank You Lord for letting me see the Month of September because I know that if You can bring me to the Month of September, You will see me through this Year.
Thank Him for His Faithfulness, Thank Him for His Support, Thank Him for His Protection, Thank Him for His Love and Thank Him of course for His Mercy.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
- Then you are going to talk to the Almighty God and say: Father, You made me certain Promises at the beginning of this Year and the Year is Ending, Please fulfill Your Promises.
Go ahead and talk to Him.
There are certain things that you told me this Year – You said that this Year will be Remarkable for me and the Year is Ending, Please fulfill Your Promises now.
All Your Promises for me Father, bring them to Past now.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

And wherever they go, let Your Presence go with them and keep evil far away from them.
My Lord and my Saviour, I commit all Your Children Particularly those who has been Faithful in the Giving of their Offerings and their Tithes; just like You Promised, overwhelm them with Your Blessings.
The kind of Blessings that they will say that this is too much; Father make available to them.

You have brought us safely to September, Please help us till the very end of the Year.
And let our Tomorrow be alright.
Every Prayers that Your Children will Pray Today, answer them by Fire.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Well, let Someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Please shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: Good Morning, God will have Mercy on you!
And then, you may Please be seated.
You must Pray for me today because when you have a Pastor Standing before all these “Learned People”; you should know that the Pastor needs Prayers.
Because as I have always said that even if you have a PhD in Mathematics but you are not a Lawyer; you are an illiterate – Only Lawyers are “Learned People”,
When you consider the fact that God says that He choose only foolish People to be Pastors, then you will fully understand.
Today, we have been asked to speak on “Divine Mercy”.
Our Bible Text will be: Matthew 5:7.
It says: “Blessed are the Merciful, for they shall obtain Mercy”.
Why do we want to talk about Divine Mercy this Morning?
Because according to James 2:13; the Bible says: “Mercy Triumph over Judgement”.
We are talking to People who are constantly dealing with the Issues of Justice.
Justice according to Someone is when you get what you deserved.
Mercy on the other hand, is when you get something you don’t deserve,
Why do we focus on Divine Mercy?
When we say “Divine Mercy”; there are two (2) words here:
I. Divine – Talking about God.
II. Mercy – Mercy is what you get that you don’t really deserve.
Whenever we are talking of Divine Mercy; it means: “Of God”.
Anything you say about God is in the Superlative!
I. Psalms 91:1 calls Him – The Most High, the Almighty.
II. Ecclesiastes 5:8 calls Him – The One who is Higher than the highest.
III. Genesis 17:1 calls Him – The All-Sufficient One.
IV. Exodus 3:14 calls Him – The I AM That I Am, The One who never Changes.
But whenever you go through the Scriptures and you want to hear God talk about Himself or talk about His Wealth; you will find out that it is only in one Place that He talks about His Riches,
And He says that: I am rich in Mercy – Ephesians 2:4.
He didn’t say that “I am rich in Power” – Even though He is the Almighty.
He didn’t say “I am rich in Love” – Even though He Himself is Love.
But He says that “I am rich in Mercy”.
The Power of the Mercy of God is difficult to describe:
- But in Lamentations 3: 22-23; the Bible says that: It is of the Mercy of God that we are not Consumed.
In other words, the fact that we are still alive Today is simply because of the Mercy of God!
When you consider various ways in which a Fellow could die, you will know that you are alive Today not because you are Clever!
I. I mean that I know a Chief somewhere in Ondo State Nigeria – Healthy, Wealthy, Popular and Intelligent; who sat down to eat Pounded Yam in his own house.
And just while eating, Somebody did something near him that got him depressed and the food choke him.
And before he got to the Hospital, he was Dead.
… So, one could die eating.
II. And one could also die because they Slept and never woke up again.
The Doctors will have one name or the other to give it as the cause of the Death.
But the fact that we are still alive here Today is because of the Mercy of God!
III. When earlier this Year that a Tanker lost Control over the Bridge near Otedola Estate in Lagos State Nigeria and jumped into the Estate,
It burnt down the first House, jumped the second Building and then landed on the third Building and burnt it down Completely.
And the Building that was left untouched happened to be a Parish of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
You will know that there is no Human Explanation for that – Just the Mercy of God!
IV. That your Driver knows how to drive and that he was driving correctly on his own side of the road; does not mean that you will reach home safely.
Because Somebody else cam come even from the other side and crash into your Vehicle.
The fact that you are the one on the right side of the road doesn’t stop Death from killing you.
It says that: “It is of the Mercy of God that we are not Consumed”.
If Somebody is Grateful that God kept you alive despite everything; let that Fellow shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
- And then He went on to say in Romans 9: 15-21 – It says in Summary that: “It is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth; but of God that showeth Mercy”.
In other words apart from the fact that He has kept you alive; you are what you are Today by the Mercy of God!
Oh, you don’t understand – I was very Brilliant and I Studied very hard.
I. I had known an occasion in my University Days – And with all Humility, I was Good in Mathematics.
I mean just by the Mercy of God; many of my Colleagues – They will come to me to say: Explain this to us.
And I got to the Examination Hall – And in those days, I don’t know of now; they will give you eight (8) Questions to answer five (5) Questions.
I got there, read the first one – What is this? I can’t understand this one.
I read the second – Blank.
Read the third and fourth – Blank.
By now, I was sweating.
I went through all the eight (8) Questions, I couldn’t even recognise any of them.
This is a Subject that I teach my Classmates – I just Blank out.
I was about to get up and leave – Afterall I can’t see anything here. It simply means that I will come back and resit.
But even then as at the time that I didn’t even know God, there was a certain hand that kept me seated.
I sat down 15 Minutes after everybody was writing by my right and left – I mean that the Teacher of Colleagues just sat down there.
And then, I looked at the Questions again:
I read the first one – Ha, this is Theory so, so, so.
I read the second one – Ha, this is Somebody’s Equation.
In the little time left; I answered all the eight (8) Questions.
And I wrote at the Top as Someone who was a bit Rascally in those days: Mark any five (5).
II. I have always told you the Story of when I was at Elisha Grammar School in the 1950’s.
There was a Madman infront of the Gate of the Grannar School.
Anytime that we really want to enjoy Good History, we will go – Buy him a keg of Palm Wine.
And then he will say: Okay, which History do you want?
British or European? From what Year to what Year?
And he will begin to teach us what our Teachers could not teach us.
You know what? He was a Professor of History and then something went wrong Upstairs.
He could tell you all the History that you want to know but he couldn’t even remember his own name.
If you are Grateful to God that He has made you who you are; will you Please shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
- From Mark 10: 46-52; we discovered that a cry of Mercy to Him can stop Him in His Tracks.
The Almighty God is Passing by and a Blind Man/Beggar cried for Mercy.
The Bible says that Jesus Christ Stood Still.
And when you fully understand the meaning of that – Because the Bible says: It is around Jesus Christ that the whole Universe revolves.
When Jesus Christ Stands Still, it means that the Sun Stands Still and the Moon Stands Still – Meaning Nothing is moving when He (Jesus Christ) is not moving.
That God stops the Heaven and the Earth for a Beggar who asked for Mercy tells us one thing – If you have been Praying for something for Years and you haven’t receive an Answer yet; Today Change your Prayers and ask Him for Mercy!
Oh, there are several Examples in the Scriptures where you will find out that Jesus Christ Himself will break His Own Rules just to attend to Somebody who asks for Mercy!
I. I mean that there was a case of a Leper who came to Him and ask for Mercy – DMC NOTES: Matthew 8: 1-3.
And the One who said that you must not be touch a Leper – It is written that if you touch a Leper, you will become Unclean; broke His Own Rule and touched him (DMC NOTES: Leviticus 5:3, Leviticus Chapter 13).
I want to Pray for Someone here Today, including those reading now on the Label of DMC: As you cry for Mercy this Day, God will touch you – Amen!
And now while the Mercy of God is Everlasting according to Psalm 103:17 – Its Mercy is Unlimited from Everlasting to Everlasting.
But that Mercy is not without Condition – He insist that: “Blessed are the Merciful, for they shall obtain Mercy”.
Do you know the meaning of that?
Trouble for the Unmerciful because that Fellow is not going to obtain Mercy.
He said in Proverbs 28:13 – He said that if you conceal your sin, you won’t Prosper.
He said that but if you confess it and forsake it, then you will obtain Mercy.
When God chooses to withdraw His Mercy, the result is not always Pleasant!
Proverbs 29:1 says: There is Someone that is often reproved (Corrected) and he refuses ti yield (Hardened his Heart).
The Almighty God said that the Fellow will be destroyed without Remedy.
I will give you just one illustration from the Scriptures:
There is the Story of two (2) Brothers: One Younger and the other the Elder – You will find the Story in Genesis 48: 8-20.
It is the Story of the two (2) sons of Joseph – DMC NOTES: Manasseh and Ephraim.
The father was old and so couldn’t see clearly – Joseph brought his two (2) sons before the father died so that Papa can Pray for them before he dies.
And then he (Joseph) Place Manasseh where the Right Hand of the father can land on his head and put Ephraim where the Left Hand can land because the first born is supposed to get a Double Portion of the Blessing.
And the Double Portion of Blessing is associated with the Right Hand – Don’t ask me for details.
All I am saying is that whenever a Man of God wants to bless you, put your head where the Right Hand will drop – Just collect the Blessing first and then you can then find out why later.
And the Old Man suddenly crossed his hands and Placed the Right Hand on the head of the Younger one and the Left Hand on the head of the Elder.
And Joseph said: Please Papa, you are making a mistake – This one is the Elder and this one is the Younger.
Papa said that I know what I am doing – I am being Guided by God.
He said that the Younger one will be Greatee than the Elder.
And so, he blessed them with his hands crossed.
And within a couple of Years, God had blessed the Younger one (DMC NOTES: Ephraim) ten times more than the Elder (DMC NOTES: Manasseh) – Deuteronomy 33:17.
Whenever we talk about one thousand for Manasseh, we talk of ten thousand for Ephraim.
Then Ephraim became Proud:
Whenever they say that they should go out and do something for God; Ephraim will say that everybody should go.
Ephraim, why are you not coming?
Why am I going? Who is going to enjoy all these Riches? Where do you want me to keep my goats and sheep? And then go to battle?
You just go – I am Supper Blessed!
And God began to send one Prophet after another to Ephraim – Ephraim, I love you, I gave you the Blessings that belongs to others to you and even the Blessings that you don’t even deserve.
Why are you behaving like this?
He said that I know that You are there for me.
That is what many of us will say when we talk about giving our lives to Jesus Christ.
You will say: What are you talking about? I know God and I was even born into a Christian Home.
As if – If Somebody is born in a Cattle Ranch, that makes you automatically a Cattle.
My name is Joseph – Therefore, I am a Christian.
Anyway, again and again; God kept on sending Prophet upon Prophet to Ephraim – Ephraim, come to me! I love you from the beginning and that is why you became what you are.
He said: Don’t bother me.
Finally, God said: Alright, Ephraim has made up his Mind; leave him alone – Hosea 4:17.
And when God says: Leave him alone, you should know that means trouble.
Because shortly after that, God said in Hosea 5:9 – He said that Ephraim shall de Desolate.
And do you know the meaning of Desolate?
Desolate means that by the time God finishes with the Fellow, there will be Nothing left.
So, by the time that we get to Revelation 7: 4-8; and they began to mention the names of the Tribes of Israel; Ephraim Name was no longer there – Manasseh who has said that I will serve God till I die has been brought in to take his Rightful Position.
I Pray for everyone of us here Today and those reading now on the Label of DMC: The Mercy of God over you will never end – Amen!
But once God decided that Enough is Enough – If He has been reaching out to you saying: Hey my son/daughter, I am the One who made you who you are and I am the One who has kept you alive; Surrender your Life to me,
And you are saying: Leave me alone.
The moment He says: No more Time; it can be very serious.
I will tell you just one more Story and then I will release you:
I was sitting down in my Office at the University of Lagos trying to solve a Mathematical Problem for my Publication.
I have stated the Problem and I have stated the Methods that I will use – Vectors Analysis to solve the Problem.
Suddenly, I heard God say: Son, I want you to write a Letter to Chief So, So, So.
And of course, when He is talking like that, you don’t waste time – I grabbed my Pen and began to write down.
Tell him that I love him – I know about his faults and I know everything that he has done wrong.
Tell him that I love him – If he will Surrender his Life to me; I will forgive everything that he has done in the Past and I will still take him to Heaven.
So I quickly wrote.
It was after I wrote the Letter that I said: Lord, I don’t even know this Chief and I don’t have his Address.
But He said: Write at the back of the Envelope: Chief “So, So, So”; “So, So, So” Town and Post the Letter,
He (God) said that he (Chief So, So, So) is Popular enough that the Postmaster will know where to take the Letter.
And I am talking of those days when if you Post a Letter, if it arrived after the Third Month, then you Thank God.
Tell him that if he (Chief So, So, So) wants to know more about how to become one of my Children, let him send for you.
So, I wrote the Letter and Posted it.
Within three (3) days the Letter had reached him and the Man sent this Driver to come to my Office to tell me to wait for him – That he will be with me the following day.
So I was glad.
And the following day he came – And I explained to him that it is a very Simple matter.
All you need to do is to tell the Almighty God to take over my Life, forgive my Past sins and from now on, I will do Your Will.
Simple! And we will Pray.
He said that I will think about it – And I said “Yes Sir” – Because you can’t force anybody to be saved.
For the next three (3) Years, every two, two weeks, I kept on Travelling to his Town to go and say: Sir, God has loved you and He has shown it by this – Do something.
Ha my friend, you are Welcome – I will think about it.
Then all of a sudden, he had a Stroke – Massive Stroke, the kind that takes away the voice.
But before he became unconscious; he told the People around – Send for Pastor Adeboye and then lapsed into coma.
And they sent for me and I ran.
I got there and saw him – Almost gone.
And I cried to God: Lord, Please have Mercy. Restore him one more time so that I can make one more Appeal.
In less than one hour, he was Completely Whole again.
So I said to him – Chief, God has shown you Uncommon Mercy; will you give your Life to Jesus Christ now.
He said: “I will think about it”.
Of course I knew at that moment that there is no need wasting my Time.
It wasn’t long after that that he died.
ALTAR CALL
I want to appeal to everyone of us here Today or including those reading now on the Label of DMC:
If you have not yet Surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ, do so now because tomorrow might be too late as we only know Today.
And if you Surrender your Life to Him, He knows all the details about you – He knows those things that you yourself know not to be correct.
But if you want to say to Him: Lord, I will Surrender my Life to You now.
I want to appeal to you to Please just take that one little step – Come and Stand before the Altar and I will join my Prayers with yours and Pray for your Salvation.
I am going to count from one (1) to five (5) – If by the time I say five (5), you are not already Standing before me, I will know that it is either you are Born Again or you have made up your Mind that God can mind His Own Business and let me mind my own.
So, I am counting now!
Those of you who are comimg forward and those infront; talk to the Lord.
Say: Lord Jesus Christ, have Mercy on me, save my Soul, forgive all my sins and be my Lord and my Saviour.
From now on, I will do Your Will.
And the rest of us, Please let us Stretch our hands towards those People and intercede for them.
Pray that the One who saved your own Soul will save their own Souls also.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
