98. INT.CHURCH.DAY.
At the LATTER BLESSINGS ASSEMBLY, the TRIO of KEN, DAN and RAY sit on the THIRD ROW and appear to be listening to the preaching of PASTOR DAVID; beside them are NGOZI and RITA.
PASTOR DAVID
Brethren, this morning, I have a short and direct message for somebody here but please before I start, let’s quickly open our bibles to the book of Romans 9:15-16. It reads and I quote; “for he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
So, then it is not of him that wills nor of him that runs but of God that shows mercy”
My message, this morning is entitled ‘Divine Mercy’ and how many of us here believe that by strength shall no man prevail but by God’s mercy? Let me see your hands up. Some hands are not raised up, that means some of us are not convinced about that yet, not to worry, I will tell a brief but concise story right now to illustrate this clearly.
Some seventeen years ago, when I graduated from the university and was working in Abuja as a surveyor in the Federal Ministry of Lands and Mines; the salary was okay but I wanted something bigger so with the help of my uncle in Port Harcourt, who was a big shot in an oil company there, I got a new job offer as a senior surveyor. The Sunday I was meant to leave for the Garden city to assume my new position on Monday, my friend and former course mate, that was already a senior lecturer in the department of Geo- physics came to visit me in my apartment purposely to preach to me.
