THE YEAR OF INCREASED MERCY OF GOD

God is a merciful God, and the privilege of God but not your right has kept you alive to this present hour.
Above evil hands, above all advances of the enemy, the mercy of God is more than available to answer for deliverance and preservation. 
It is the mercy of God that brought you this far in the challenging trouble over the earth.
For example, the activities of Sodom and Gomorrah provoked the destruction. Before the onset of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the mercy of God singled out Lot and family for deliverance.
On the day of destruction, mercy activated for Lot and family as the Bible records, “When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, “Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.” And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.” (Genesis 19:15-16) The mercy of God was in place for Lot, just as the mercy of God has brought you this far.
In the challenging trouble of today, are you giving attention to the mercy of God over your life to appreciate God?
Today, give regards to God for His mercy that is keeping you.
Continually, let your resounding praise sound before God with mercy that never expires over your life in this time of trouble over the whole earth, under the heaven.
Lot in the time of the mercy of God for deliverance and preservation, he lingered.
As if Lot was not happy about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by God, he reluctantly rejected the offer of his escape to the mountains as directed.
By your ignorant, are you lingering not giving attention to the deliverance and preservation of God over your life in this troubling time?
Ignorance will make a destitute of a believer. Learn by the documentation of Lot, come out of ignorance to know and live to acknowledge the mercy of God.
Lot asked for uncommon mercy to escape to another possible land.
Lot asked: “Please, no, my lords! Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest some evil overtake me and I die. See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?), and my soul shall live.” (Genesis 19:18-20)
Lot realized the mercy of God upon his life,
Lot asked for INCREASED MERCY before God, pleading for the option of escape from Sodom and Gomorrah to Zoar land. 
The request of Lot was granted and received as the Bible states, “Hurry, escape there. For I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.” (Genesis 19:22)
The mercy of God is abundant.
With understanding, Lot asked for INCREASED MERCY. 
God gave Lot INCREASED MERCY that delivered him from destruction.
With understanding, know that the mercy of God that brought you this far will now answer as INCREASED MERCY that will see you through a NEW YEAR.
The mercy of God brought you this far.
Call your New Year a year of INCREASED MERCY of God.
Power and mercy belong to God.
The mercy of God is the meaning of loyal love, the conventional love of the covenant-keeping God. 
The mercy of God answers two-fold. 
First, Romans 9:15-16 records,God spoke to Moses about His mercy, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion. So, then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.” 
No one is qualified to question God about His mercy for whom He shows mercy.
Second, mercy answers for those who fear God as testified in Luke 1:50, “And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.”  
With fear for God is the evidence of walking by the word of God.
Walk in the journey of life, knowing to fear God.
With fear for God, the undeniable mercy of God will answer.
All year long, what is your walk like before God? 
On a journey of a New Year, do you have a desire to walk right before God? 
All man owes God to walk obediently with Him. God invested so much in all, but the majority extends a partial or no obedience to Him. God is a merciful God but not with an excuse for none to walk disobediently before Him.
The mercy of God brought you this far through the troubling year. 
Ask for the INCREASED MERCY of God to see you through in the New Year.
Approach the New Year as the year of INCREASED MERCY of God over your life. 
Throughout the year, meditate that year 2021 is your year of INCREASED MERCY OF GOD.
