General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has urged individuals particularly those in the legal practice to seek God’s mercy and be merciful.
Adeboye made the call on Sunday at the RCCG National Headquarters during the September Thanksgiving and prayer service, tagged ‘Divine Mercy’ for legal practitioners at federal, state and all levels and sectors; law students and institutions of legal education.
The respected cleric at the service attended by several legal practitioners including Chief Judge of Ogun State, Hon. Justice Mosunmola Dipo; made clear that a cry for mercy can stop God in His track as he made biblical reference to a beggar who received divine intervention and that there was trouble for the unmerciful as such person will not obtain mercy.
Noting justice as getting what one deserves and mercy as getting what one does not deserves, revealed being alive is by God’s mercy.
He also stressed that crying to God for mercy can be effectual especially when longtime prayers seem unanswered, adding that a cry for mercy can stop God in His tracks.
Adeboye partly stated:”…That God stopped the heavens and the earth for a beggar who asked for mercy, tells you one thing; if you have been praying for something for yours and you have not received an answer yet, today change your prayer.
“There are several examples in the scriptures when you will find that Jesus Himself will break His own rule, just to attend to somebody who asked for mercy.”
