Mercy Mercy
There is a position in the Kingdom of God that awaits the believer’s arrival. It holds all that you are to exact of heavens graces into the world you live in.
The mercy seat of God is considered the throne of God and is the resting place.
Believers are destined to become kings, priests and judges on the earth to bring about godly change. Mercy is one of the virtues needed in order to do this. The heart of each believer has to be impartial, lending no prejudice with the authority to assess each situation fairly. This brings heavens rule to the earth.
Separation from worldly attachments and connections parallels the personal development for a high office.
The idea of getting along that’s been cultivated over years actually sits in the mercy seat of God, judging every situation as it sees fit. Consequently, when mercy cannot be issued for wrongdoings, the subject remains in bondage, and the situation continues to evolve but never change. But when mercy is extended and forgiveness is given, circumstances can be rightly remedied and the cause of bondage can be removed from earth’s environment. Whatever is in a believer’s life extends into the world around.
In order for forgiveness to be effective, the believer has to be conscious of the ungodly deed without criticism or retribution of any kind. By lending no excuse to the offender, forgiveness can be drawn on and given out. This is the effect of the cross working in the believer’s life.
Once again, these are high offices in the kingdom, and hold much responsibility as ‘to whom much is given, much is required’.
