Beatitudes 5
Bible passage: Matthew 5:7
“ 7. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy."
Dear brothers and sisters, The Word of God we hear does not teach us the impossible.
The call to be holy, live by the Spirit, recover the lost image of God, and partake in His divine nature is not merely a confession of faith but something that must bear real fruit. When listening to the Beatitudes, don’t simply confess, "It’s so gratifying and full of grace," or "I long for the Word." Instead, make them truly your own. May the Beatitudes manifest in your life, so that you can experience what it means for God to walk with you daily.
Be recognized as God's children, both by fellow believers and non-believers. I pray in the name of the Lord that others will see your transformation through the Word and comment how God's people are truly different and how blessed you are in the world. Today’s message focuses on the fifth Beatitude: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” “To be merciful" literally means to feel compassion or pity for someone. God’s mercy resembles the heart of goodness mentioned in the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit. Goodness, as described in Matthew 12:19-20, means: “He will not quarrel, nor cry out; nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets. A battered reed He will not break off, and a smouldering wick He will not put out.”
