Pray That God Will Make You A Candidate For His Mercy
Today, you should pray that God will make you a candidate for his mercy. There were many people in the bible that were candidates of God’s mercy. Moses was a murderer who ran away from Egypt because he was afraid that king Pharaoh could kill him. God by His mercy appeared to him in the wilderness and turned Moses, a murderer into a great prophet. That appointment could only have been by the mercy of God.
Jonah was another man who was a candidate of God’s mercy. He disobeyed God by running away from God’s assignment. Remember that it was also the sin of disobedience that king Saul committed and God took away the throne from him and gave it to king David. However, when the fish swallowed Jonah, he cried out to God and he obtained mercy. God gave him a second chance and the fish took him to Nineveh. Jonah’s ministry would have been completely terminated if not for God’s mercy.
Jesus saw the five thousand men who He had been feeding with the Word of God for three days and had mercy on them. He fed them supernaturally by multiplying the five loaves of bread and two fish. This shows that if you are hungry, God can also make you a candidate of His mercy by supplying your needs.
Lord Make Me A Candidate For Your Mercy
The prodigal son found favor from his father. He took his inheritance from his father, went away from the house and spent his inheritance recklessly. He was not worthy to be called a son again. However, he went to his father and asked for mercy. He pleaded to his father to be one of his slaves. However, the father embraced him, took him back as a son and threw a party for him. If you have sinned and you have gone astray just like this prodigal son, God can still make you a candidate for His mercy. God will embrace you and forgive you, cleanse you and accept you back as His son.
The soldiers who crucified Jesus Christ also obtained mercy. Jesus had the power to call on legions of angels to destroy them. They would have died instantly. Instead, Jesus had mercy on them. He prayed for them that God should forgive them because they were ignorant of what they were doing. Many of us also deserve death by the virtue of the sins we have committed, but I pray that the Lord will make us candidates of His mercy. I pray that we will not die in our ignorance in Jesus’ name. As we pray today, I pray that the Lord shall have mercy on us in Jesus’ name.

Lord, I pray that just as you had mercy on the city of Nineveh when they repented of their sins, you will have mercy on me in Jesus’ name.
Jonah 4:2 (NLT)
So he complained to the Lord about it: “Didn’t I say before I left home that you would do this, Lord? That is why I ran away to Tarshish! I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. You are eager to turn back from destroying people.

In his pain Manasseh asked the Lord his God for mercy and truly humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. 13 When he prayed to the Lord, the Lord responded to him and answered favorably his cry for mercy.

Bring the best robe, and put it on him! Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet! 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it! Let us eat and celebrate, 24 because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again—he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.
6. Father, I pray that just like you showed Paul mercy, you will have mercy on me in Jesus’ name. Lord, I pray that you will not count my sins against me in Jesus’ name. I pray that my life will witness a positive turnaround in Jesus’ name.
