BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 27-28
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalms 123:1-4; Mark 10:46-52 (KJV)
Psalms 123:1-4;
1 (A Song of degrees.) Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
Mark 10:46-52;
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.
MEMORY VERSE: “I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” – 1 Timothy 2:8
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Success is by and large, a product of divine positioning. Let God position you where He wants you to shine. Pray to locate the place where you will be uplifted.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I PROPHESY UPON YOUR LIFE, YOU SHALL PARALYSE THE WICKED POWERS THAT ARE WORKING AGAINST YOUR DESTINY.
The MESSAGE:
Becoming a beneficiary of God’s mercy is not automatic. You must pray specifically for it. You will discover in today’s devotional study that a good number of Bible characters prayed for God’s mercy and heaven answered their prayers. No matter the kind of prayers you are praying, do not forget that praying for mercy is very important. In fact, you have to cry for mercy. This is the truth that God wants to share with you today. You need to cry to God after the order of blind Bartimeaus. He did not possibly know the prayer to pray or even understand the prayer to pray but he did understand the general prayer that can arrest the attention of Jesus. After his prayers had put a break on Jesus, Jesus then asked him for the specific mercy that he needed and Jesus responded by opening his eyes.

The prayer for mercy is not a prayer that you pray like a gentleman. When blind Bartimeaus prayed his prayer, I’m sure he must have sweated profusely. You need to key into the mystery of mercy.
When you begin to pray for God’s mercy, situations that are stubborn will bow. Where the enemy says you will not reach, you will get there when you ask for God’s mercy. When you ask for God’s mercy, the words of man, clinical prophesies and economic predictions against your life will be completely cancelled. Mercy will make you a favourite of the Almighty. So, pray for mercy today!
Psalms 123:1-4 challenges us to wait upon the Lord until He has mercy upon us. When you start praying for mercy, the rule is that you must keep praying until you obtain mercy.
