*Topic :Mercy Shall Speak For You!*

n any house, there are three types of inlets and outlets -gates, doors and windows. Similarly, in our body there are 9 gates for inlets or outlets. Whatever these gates bring in or allow to go out is usually for our good. God has several ways of bring in the best for us. One of such ways is the ability to open our -mouth gate to declare what we want in our lives.

Besides life can be full of struggles, disappointments, and challenges. There are times when, despite our best efforts, things do not seem to go our way. It is in such moments that we desperately need the intervention of God's mercy. Mercy is the undeserved favor of God, His loving-kindness that speaks on our behalf when we have no strength or ability of our own.

Today, like Bartimaeus use your mouth gate to attract mercy to your life. In addition I declare to you: Mercy shall speak for you!

See some peculiarities of mercy!

*1. Mercy Cancels Judgment*

One of the most profound ways that mercy works in our lives is that it cancels judgment. When mercy speaks, it silences the accusations and condemnations that come against us. Many times in life, we make mistakes, we falter, and we fall. But the mercy of God comes in and wipes our slate clean. "For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment." James 2:13.

Wherever you have been condemned or your family members mercy shall speaks for you today.

*2. Mercy Brings Divine Favour*

When mercy speaks, favor follows. Mercy opens doors that no one can shut, and it makes a way where there seems to be no way. There are blessings that hard work cannot bring, but God's mercy can.

"You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come." Psalm 102:13

Mercy brings favor at the right time. There is a set time for God's favor to manifest in your life, and that time is now. The mercy of God shall unlock opportunities, lift you up, and take you to places you never imagined you could reach. When mercy speaks, your destiny will be fulfilled, and your life will be filled with favor and grace..

*3. Mercy Brings Healing and Restoration*

Mercy not only forgives sins but also brings healing and restoration to every broken area of your life. God’s mercy reaches into the deepest wounds and begins to heal the hurts that no one else sees.

Mark 10:46-52: The story of blind Bartimaeus. When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by, he cried out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Despite being told to keep quiet, he continued to cry out for mercy. Jesus heard him, called him forward, and healed him.

The cry for mercy is a powerful prayer. When Bartimaeus cried for mercy, his sight was restored, and his life was changed. Just like Bartimaeus, you too can cry out to the Lord for mercy, and He will heal and restore you. What are your needs today -speak mecry to yourself. No matter how broken you feel, no matter what sickness or pain you are facing, mercy shall speak for you and bring you complete restoration.

*Conclusion* Mercy is a powerful tool in the hands of God. It speaks for us when we cannot speak for ourselves. It opens doors that no man can shut, it brings healing and restoration, and it delivers us from the hands of the enemy. No matter what you are facing today, I declare that mercy shall speak for you!

Remember, you need to apply skill and efforts but it is not by your effort, skill, or ability, but by God’s mercy that you shall overcome. Trust in His mercy today, and you will see favor, healing, deliverance, and restoration in every area of your life.
