Divine Mercy

Divine Mercy – Ps. 102:13 The Bible tells us in Lam. 3:22-23, that: “It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” and Jesus Christ makes it so clear in Mathew’s Gospel, when HE said in Mt. 5:44-45: “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust” that the mercies of God are not for the righteous alone. However, God speaks categorically in Exo. 33:19, that there is a mercy HE can choose to extend to a specific individual; a specific family; a specific group; a specific neighbourhood; a specific community; a specific city or even a specific nation, when and where HE pleases. So HE said to Moses: “……..I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.” In other words, there is mercy and there is also Divine Mercy. Mercy enables the world and all that exist in it to live through each day; but Divine Mercy is like a guided missile – it is extended to locate specific situations and deal with such situations with immediate effect. It is extended in God’s own time and for HIS divine purpose. In this month of ‘Divine Mercy’ God Almighty will bring your case forward for final settlement in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The heavens will not sit down until your case is settled. If you are reading this, your time to enjoy ‘Divine Mercy’ has come. Believe it for yourself and see God Almighty move on your behalf – Ps. 102:13. Welcome to July 2013: your month of Divine Mercy. God bless you. Pastor Edmund Abekhe

The Month Of Sunshine

For the LORD will be your Everlasting Light – Isa. 60:19-20 Welcome once again to 2013. Aside from the word the Lord has given us for the year, HE has also said that this first month of year 2013 will be the MONTH OF SUNSHINE. Now what does this really mean? Let us try to define ‘Sunshine’ by separating the words. What is ‘Sun’? It is: “The splendid orb or luminary which, being in or near the centre of our system of worlds, gives light and heat to all the planets.” What does ‘Shine’ mean? It means “To emit rays of light; to give light; to beam with steady radiance; to exhibit lightness or splendour.” Our passage of scripture for the month makes it clear that: “The sun shall no longer be your light by day, Nor for the brightness shall the moon give light to you; but the LORD will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.” – Isa. 60:19.This passage is giving us the assurance that those that will trust God completely in 2013 will not need the natural sunlight for anything because HE will make you an everlasting light. In other words, HIS hand upon your life will cause you to “beam with a steady radiance” that does not rise in the morning and sets in the evening like the natural sun. God is calling us in this year of ‘Divine Acceleration’ to a place where we will “beam with a steady radiance” and He is saying HE is ready to cause you and I to “beam with a steady radiance” if we will let HIM this year.Just imagine the Creator of sunlight saying HE will now be your everlasting light from this day forth! The light and glory of Jesus Christ is far superior to any sun or moon. This fact is reflected by the words of the prophet in Isa. 24:23; and also amplified by John the Beloved in Rev.21:23.  This everlasting light is wonderful; it possesses a radiance that is beyond description; it is purer than any light ever created; it is the splendour of HIS majesty; it is perpetual; it reveals and disgraces darkness; it brings into plain sight whatever is hidden; it is irresistible and more. I want to encourage you in year 2013 that you give the LORD Jesus Christ HIS rightful place in your life right from the beginning and let HIM be your everlasting light and I guarantee you that 2013 will truly be a year of ‘Divine Acceleration’ for you. God truly bless you. God bless you. Pastor Edmund Abekhe Pastor Edmund Abekhe - Pastor of The Potters House EdinburghPastor Edmund Abekhe
