WHEN DO YOU NEED THE MERCY OF GOD

“And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.”

Most people do not understand that it is the MERCY of God that they need in the situation that they are going through. They are doing all they can but they are not getting anywhere. Some people are seeking answer to their predicament, not realising that is the MERCY of God that they need. Most people are frustrated in life not knowing what else to do, the truth is that it is the MERCY of God that they need.

When does one really need the MERCY of God? The following scriptures will help answer the question.

1.     You need the MERCY of God when you want God to hear and answer your prayer

“Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer” Psalms 4:1

“Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.”    Psalms27:7

2.     You need the MERCY of God when you want healing and deliverance

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. Psalms 6:2-4

Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation Psalms 85:7

3.     You need the MERCY of God when you are in any kind of trouble

“Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation” Psalms 9:13-14

“Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper” Psalms 30:10

“Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy” Psalms 109:26

6.     You need the MERCY of God when you desire forgiveness of you sins

“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.” Psalms 51:1-2

7.     You need the MERCY of God when you need a miracle

And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.  And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way

THE MERCY OF GOD

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:16

 Until you obtain MERCY you cannot find Grace (Divine favour, Divine help, Divine blessing). All actions of God are traceable to His mercy. Read through Psalms 136:1-26 and you will understand what I am saying. God is good because His mercy endureth forever. All his acts from creation till now is traceable His mercy.

  1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 
  2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. 
  3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
  4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever. (Psalms 136:1-4)

 So if you want God to intervene in your life situations, you must first of all obtain mercy in His sight.
The mercy of God is not for the forgiveness of sins alone. It is for divine intervention in the life of men. It is for the helpless. It is for the needy. It is for the oppressed. In the book of Mark 10:46-52, the blind man cried out for mercy not for the forgiveness of sins, but for divine intervention in his situation.

  46 ¶ And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.  
 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 
 49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. 
 50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. 
 51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

 When the blind man asked for mercy, Jesus said to him “what will thou that I should do to thee?”. Whenever you ask God for mercy, that is that he will always reply you.
 Do you want anything from God? Why not ask Him for mercy and tell Him exactly what you want from Him. Remember the scripture above “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:16

  I declare in the name of Jesus:
 • You will obtain the mercy of God
 • You will fine grace in the sight of God
 •God will intervene in your situation
 • Your testimony is sure.
 • You will succeed
