The Lord bless you richly this morning. We gather to prophesy the mercy of the Lord and to understand why we must approach God for His mercy. Remember, He is the one who sits upon the throne of mercy—the God of the mercy seat.
In the Old Testament, the ark of the covenant was a box containing the Ten Commandments, some of the manna that sustained God's people in the wilderness, and Aaron's rod that budded—a sign of God's power. But on top of it, they placed the mercy seat, with two cherubims watching over it. The one who sits upon this seat is our God. When we approach the mercy seat, we meet with His mercy.
Exodus 25:17–22 describes this place not merely as a golden covering, but as God's eternal throne. It represented His mercy, His government, His covenant, and above all, the mercy of the Lord.
Today, this throne has been moved into the heavenly realm, and His mercy sits in our hearts. Yet His mercy never comes to an end.
God raises His mercy to triumph over judgment.
James 2:13 tells us that mercy triumphs over judgment.
When everything comes against you—when the world judges you, when the enemy judges you—mercy has been raised above the challenges of life and above the judgment you deserve. This is our foundation.
When we prophesy into our own lives, we begin with people to whom God showed mercy—people who should not have received it, yet God showed it to them. If He did it before, He will do it again. This month of August is ending with the amazing mercy of God.
Grace gives us what we do not deserve; mercy withholds what we deserve. We deserve judgment, but God shows mercy. We deserve to be cast aside, but God shows mercy. Mercy will speak for you. If you were deserving of judgment and destruction, mercy will go ahead of you. Mercy will open doors. Mercy will give you victory. Mercy will silence the enemy in the name of Jesus.

When our own foolishness or the actions of men have broken our destiny and severed our bridge to God, mercy comes and restores it.
David and Restoration. David, whom God loved, fell when he saw Bathsheba and lusted after her. Yet in the mercy of God, God sent the prophet Nathan to him and restored His servant David. It was not David's prayer or his songs—it was the mercy of God that restored him.
Peter and Recommissioning. Peter denied Christ in His darkest hour. He had eaten food with Jesus for three and a half years, collected salary, been cared for. Yet when Jesus was most vulnerable, Peter said, "I never knew Him. Maybe He lives in the next village." The devil is a lie. Yet mercy recommissioned him. Jesus saw him by the seaside and asked, "Do you love Me?" Jesus asked in the highest love: "Peter, son of John, do you love Me unconditionally?" Peter answered, "I follow you," meaning "I love you with a general love. I cannot say my love has risen after I have denied you." But Jesus restored him. Hallelujah!
The Prodigal Son. A man took his father's portion of inheritance without waiting for his father's death. He collected it and wasted everything. Having squandered all, he returned saying, "I just want to be a servant. I do not deserve anything better." But the father showed him mercy. He restored his position, his power (by placing a ring on his finger), his prestige (by clothing him in garments of honor), and his prosperity (by slaughtering the fattest calf in the house). It is God who shows that kind of mercy.
When we deserve judgment and rebuke, yet we prosper instead, we must never take for granted the goodness of God or think that we must be doing something right. It is mercy. It is the mercy of God. The father saw his son from afar off and embraced him. The boy had rehearsed what to say, but the father did not even let him finish. Mercy. Mercy also opened impossible doors.
The Syrophoenician woman came to Jesus—her child was sick, and she had traveled from Syria (which is today's Lebanon). Jesus said, "The food of the children cannot be given to dogs," but the woman humbled herself and said, "Show me mercy. Show my daughter mercy." Her daughter was delivered.
Somebody on the altar this morning—God will show you mercy. Mercy will cry out for you. You are finishing August in mercy. You are entering September in mercy.
Genesis 3:21: God covered their nakedness after their fall.
This morning, I prophesy into your life: Mercy covers your weakness. Mercy covers your shame. Where human effort has failed, God provides. After they ate from the tree of knowledge, they became aware of their nakedness but did not know what to do. God Himself had to slaughter an animal and use its skin to cover them. This morning, where your own effort has failed, I prophesy—mercy will cover you.
We bring the blood of Jesus against every demonic activity, every demonic power. We declare and decree your victory by the blood. Amen.
Genesis 4:13–15: Cain killed his own brother and deserved to be killed immediately.
Yet God placed a protective mark on him despite his grievous sin. Mercy restrained judgment even when consequences remained. Everything that has been brought against you—I declare today that God restrains the hand of the enemy. Demonic entities, take your hand off the people of God. Take your hand off.
Cain deserved to be judged. He feared that people would see him and kill him. And God said, "I will put a covering on you." Instead of the grievous judgment for the grievous sin, God put a protection mark on him. Anyone who saw him would know: that is the man God said we should not touch. This morning, the mercy of God will restrain every mouth against you.
I lay hands on you: You will not get the evil you deserve. You will not get the judgment you deserve. You will not get the hurt you deserve. You shall get blessing. You shall get protection. You shall get favor in the name of Jesus.
Genesis 6:8 and 8:1: Noah found grace in the sight of God.
Mercy distinguished Noah as a person in a generation that was under judgment. The whole generation was under judgment, and everyone born of a woman was to die. But God put mercy on Noah and anyone connected to him. His family—his three sons, their wives, his own wife—were covered. The animals that obeyed him and followed the ark were covered.
This morning I speak into your life: You will find grace. You will find mercy to distinguish you in a world of judgment. Mercy will find you. Mercy will protect you. Mercy will keep you. Mercy will distinguish you in a generation of judgment, in a city of judgment.
When you hear of fires breaking out across the United Kingdom and sudden droughts where there is not enough water—what you see in the natural is a mirror of the supernatural. It is also a time when police arrest those preaching the gospel on Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Piccadilly. I pray for everyone hearing me: God will protect your house with mercy. Anything that comes upon the nation shall not touch your house, shall not touch your family, shall not touch your household.
Genesis 16:7–13 and 21:14–19: Hagar was thrown out with her son Ishmael.
Given the blessing to go settle on their own, in their journey there was no water. God saw her affliction and provided water in the wilderness. Mercy sees forgotten people and provides in desperate places. Mercy saw this forgotten woman and provided for her.
Somebody on the altar today—where she was, there was no way out. She could not help herself. But God saw her affliction and provided water in the wilderness. I prophesy on you today: In the wilderness of life, in the dry places where you do not know where to turn, where you do not know what to do, God comes in for you. God steps in for you.
For that person who feels forgotten—God will step in for you. Mercy sees forgotten people, and mercy provides for desperate people in desperate places. He will remember you. He will remember you. There is somebody on the altar this morning who cannot seem to see the way out of this matter. You have looked around and felt there is no way out. This morning, as a servant of Jesus Christ, I prophesy into your life: There is a way out. You are coming out of the affliction. People forgot you, but God will remember you.
God remembered Noah. God remembered Sarah. God remembered Rachel. That word was not used for Hagar, but God remembered her. God will remember you. You are coming out with a testimony in your mouth. You are coming out with celebration in your life. You are coming out in the mighty name of Jesus.
Genesis 19:15–22: Lot, the nephew of Abraham, was surrounded by danger.
He did not even perceive the danger as he should have. Angels brought Lot and his family out of Sodom. Mercy can pull you out of destruction and every atmosphere of destruction.
This morning I lay hands on you and your children, your household, your family: No destruction. No danger will come near your dwelling place. You will finish this year very well in the name of Jesus. Mercy can pull you out of destructive problems and destructions that are approaching. They shall not see your household. They shall not see your children. They shall not see your family in the name of Jesus.
No evil will befall them. No danger will come near your dwelling place. Your family covered. Your children covered.
Anybody who is planning your destruction—the more they plan it, the more it will blow in their face. The more they plan it, the more it will blow in their face. We stir up angelic hosts this morning to go fight your fight. I release angelic hosts this morning to go fight your fight, to win your battle in the name of Jesus.
Everything that had destroyed others that somebody has packed will blow about in the victory in your house. Testimony in your house in the name of Jesus.
Genesis 20:1–7: God protected Sarah despite Abraham's fearful decision.
Mercy can protect covenant purpose despite human weakness. Every mistake you have made—I lay hands on you this morning. I declare and decree mercy covers your household. Mercy covers your family.
Fathers, mothers—decisions we have made that can hurt our own children, that can hurt our own household—I cover you with the mercy of God.
Abraham, in fear, said Sarah was his sister. Abimelech took her, saying she would be his wife. It was the mercy of God that God appeared to Abimelech in a dream one night and said, "You are as good as dead because the woman you have taken is a married woman." Abimelech said, "Lord, will You destroy an innocent nation? Did he not say to me, 'She is my sister,' and did she also not say, 'He is my brother'? I have done this with a clear conscience and clean hands." God said to him, "Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against Me. That is why I did not let you touch her. Return the man's wife, for he is a prophet and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who live in your house will die."
Abraham's decision was about to bring destruction. This morning, mercy of God—every wrong decision, wrong step you have taken that can bring hurt on your household, on your children, on your business, on your family—we cry mercy. We cry mercy. We cry mercy in the name of Jesus this morning.
For your household, we cry the mercy of God. For your family, we cry the mercy of God. For your works, we cry the mercy of God. Mercy will protect the covenant you have. Mercy will protect the purpose you have. Mercy will protect the destiny you have. Mercy will protect the life you have. You shall not be destroyed in the name of Jesus.
Abraham showed human weakness. He could have just taken a stand and said, "She is my wife." This day we declare and decree: Where we have made a mistake, mercy will speak. Mercy will speak. In the name of Jesus.
Genesis 26:1–4 and 26:12: During a famine, God prospered Isaac.
There was no money, yet God prospered Isaac. Your season has come. By the mercy of God, the heavens will open upon you. Rain will fall. A good rain will fall in your life. Mercy. Mercy.
"And Isaac sowed in the same year and reaped a hundredfold return." —Genesis 26:12
So you know it is not the seed, not the soil, not the season—it is the Savior. When people say you will not rise, mercy will cry out for you. When people say there is a going down, mercy will say there is a lifting in the name of Jesus.
Mercy can produce abundance in adverse conditions. Thank you, Jesus. Mercy, mercy, mercy. Abundance is coming into your hand. This has nothing to do with your master's degree or qualification. This has nothing to do with your color or gender. This has got to do with the mercy of God.
Somebody on the altar this morning—mercy will cry out for you. Mercy will reach out for you. Mercy will turn things around. Mercy will silence the devil. Mercy will shut the mouth of hell. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah.
If anybody experienced mercy, it was Jacob. God took everything that belonged to his wicked father-in-law and passed it to Jacob—Jacob who was also afraid that Esau would retaliate. As he was approaching, instead of finding retaliation, he met reconciliation.
Mercy can turn anticipated confrontation into reconciliation. I declare and decree: When a man's way pleases the Lord, He causes his enemies to be reconciled with him. God will go ahead of you and fight your fight. Win your case in the name of Jesus.
I just received a revelation: Double doors are opening. After a long while of waiting in the place where they said there is no opening, double doors opening. Double doors opening. Double doors opening for you and your household. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
In one season, mercy took Jacob from a bachelor's salary—his father-in-law kept him under a bachelor's salary for twenty to twenty-one years. Mercy took him from that and in one season restored everything that was owed him. I lay hands on you. I prophesy into your hand: God prospers. God prospers. What comes into your hand in the name of Jesus.
Genesis 39:21–23: The Lord showed Joseph mercy in prison.
Mercy can enter a prison and begin preparing your promotion. In that very mercy ground in which you have found yourself, in that flooded life—one of the two revelations I saw was a person whose home was flooded, and flood is a bad omen. In that very merciful situation, in that messy situation, mercy will cry out. Mercy will help you.
In the name of Jesus, you are coming out. You are coming out with testimony. You are coming out with favor. You are coming out with glory. You are coming out great. You are coming out blessed. You are coming out powerful. You are coming out awesome. You are coming out lifted. You are coming out above only, never under.
God in the middle of the prison—his promotion began. I declare and decree: Out of that mess, God is beginning your promotion. God is getting you ready for lifting, for favor, for lifting, for favor.
Potiphar's wife expected Joseph to rot in jail. She did not know she pushed him into testimony. By the mercy of God, where they meant your destruction, there will be a deliverance. Where they meant your destruction, there will be an upliftment in the name of Jesus.
Joseph—by mercy, by mercy, by mercy—slavery became promotion. I declare this morning: By the mercy of God, by the mercy of God, by the mercy of God, there is a lifting. There is a lifting. There is a lifting coming into your house. There is a lifting in Jesus' name. In the mighty name of Jesus.
By the mercy of God, God revealed His goodness and mercy to Moses.
Exodus 33:12–19: Moses, forgotten in the wilderness, probably thought that is where he would die.
Great assignments require encounters with divine mercy. When God shows you mercy, great assignments become possible. How do you lead three million people? The plagues of Egypt were to humble the demonic powers—not human alone, but terrible spirits that held the people. These demonic powers said they would not let the people go, that the Messiah would not come. But the day came and mercy spoke.
Somebody on this altar—every prophetic word that has gone ahead of you shall be fulfilled. Anyone who is thinking your destruction has set themselves up. God will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies. God will prepare a blessing before you in the presence of your enemies. God will prepare a promotion before you in the presence of your enemies. God will lift you.
Mercy will cry out. Mercy will show up. In the name of Jesus. Somebody hearing me on this altar—every demonic spirit that has held you, I command them to leave you. Leave, leave, leave by the blood of the Lamb. And in the name that is above all names, I command you to leave in the name of Jesus.
This morning I take authority. I release the fire of God against them. I release the fire of God against them. They will not be able to come near you anymore from today. Receive your freedom.
I saw a revelation this morning. I saw a man all dressed in white, suggesting purity and holiness, but his two legs were tied with thick, powerful ropes. He was clean, he was okay, but he could not move.
We are praying the prayer of deliverance for everyone on the altar right now, wherever you are. From all bondages, this morning, God is setting you free.
Every bondage in which you have found yourself, as a servant of Jesus Christ, I set you free. I set you free. I set you free. I set you free. I set you free from every past choice, habit, and things that have bound you—loose in the name of Jesus.
Every door that has closed upon you, I command the door to open. Say amen where you are. Anything you have knowingly and unknowingly shut the door yourself—I open the door of favor.
This morning, I command the doors to open for you in the name of Jesus. That man's legs were tied. Every track, every chain break in the name of Jesus. Every generational chain break in the name of Jesus. Every family chain break in the name of Jesus. Every invisible chain break in the name of Jesus. Every delay chain break in the name of Jesus. Every failure—break in the name of Jesus. Everything that holds you down—break. Total freedom in the name of Jesus.
This morning I declare: He that the Son sets free is free indeed. Step out of every spiritual prison, every bondage in the name of Jesus. Receive God-given joy. Receive God-given health. Receive God-given peace. May the Holy Spirit fill your way, fill your life.
From this day, may you walk in the mercy of God. May you walk in the mercy of God. May you operate in the mercy of God. May you enjoy the mercy of God. May mercy surround you. Mercy protect you. Mercy keep you.
I take authority. Everything of yours that is in bondage—that I saw in that revelation, everything that was dressed all white and yet his legs were in bondage—I break the chain in the name of Jesus.
The organs of your body—sometimes chains are chains of your inner organs. The enemy now sees he cannot fight you externally, so he thinks he can touch your organs. Your kidney protected by the blood of Jesus. Your liver protected by the blood of Jesus. Your intestines protected by the blood of Jesus. Your blood protected by the blood of Jesus. Your skin—skin is an organ—protected by the blood of Jesus.
This morning I saturate the whole of your life with the blood of Jesus. Based on this revelation I saw, I declare victory. I break the chain.
Where they say you will not be able to enter—you enter from today. Where they say you will not be able to go—you go from today in the name of Jesus. Every foul spirit, I command them to leave you. Leave, leave, leave, leave by the blood of the Lamb. And in the name that is above all names, I command you to leave in the name of Jesus.
This morning I take authority. I release the fire of God against them. I release the fire of God against them. They will not be able to come near you anymore from today. Receive your freedom.
I anoint your feet. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.
Ephesians 6:15: Your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel.
Your feet shod with preparation. Your feet shod with preparation. The tying of the leg is to hold you. But today the scriptures say your feet are shod with preparation. Move in the name of Jesus. Move with the gospel. Move with your blessing. Move with your favor. Move with your life in the name of Jesus.
Your feet is covered. Your family is covered. Your future is covered. Your life is covered. I build a wall of fire around you. I build a wall of fire around you. I build a wall of fire around you.
No evil will befall you. No danger will come near your dwelling place in the name of Jesus. You will see the evidence of your victory from this moment.
I lay hands on your head by faith. I command your healing totally from today. I lay hands on your head by faith. I declare that anything God has not put on you from the crown of your head to the sole of your feet—they are removed in the name of Jesus.
I totally declare and decree that God sets you free. And this morning also I set you free.
If that thing that tied your leg is coming from covenants and curses, we break the covenant. We destroy the covenant in the name of Jesus. Any covenant that has a legal hold on you—we cancel it with the blood. We say mercy speaks in place of legality. Mercy speaks in place of legality. In the name of Jesus.
Psalm 91:3: "Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence."
Everyone who has been captured whose leg I saw with the rope tied—the noisome pestilence and the snare of the fowler is broken in the name of Jesus.
We finish by saying:
Revelation 12:11: "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony."
Colossians 2:14–15: "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that were against us, which was contrary to us."
I quoted this scripture yesterday in the 11:00 a.m. service. And we blot out. We blot out. We blot out. We blot out. We blot out in the name of Jesus.
Your victory is sure. Your testimony is sure. Nothing can stop you in Jesus' name.
When we were kids, times were different. We had to have an inkwell and a pen we dipped in to write, teaching us to write the old way. Sometimes the ink was too much, so it was so heavy on our book, and we had to have a blotter that soaked it. This morning the Bible says everything that is contrary to you has been blotted out. Jesus has soaked out everything contrary to your peace in the name of Jesus. Glory to God.
There is victory in your house.
Noah was preserved by mercy. You do not even understand the antediluvian era. If God wants to do it again, He can do it again. Seventy percent of this earth is water. All He needs to do is push our planet down and make the water come up. Science says that if the moon comes closer to us by just fifty thousand kilometers (it is right now about two hundred fifty thousand kilometers away), all the seas would rise above us. But mercy—God who showed mercy to Noah shall preserve you in the name of Jesus.
He showed mercy to Hagar, a woman and her son in the wilderness. She had nobody, even though she carried a prophetic word that said her son too would become a nation. But it looked like the prophecy was about to fail. And God rose for her, and she called Him El Roy—the merciful God who sees. The God who sees shall see you and see you through in the name of Jesus.
God showed that even in prison, mercy reigns. I thought it was only in Nigeria that a man in prison was elected senator. Even in prison, God promoted Joseph. As he stepped out of the prison within a few hours, the prison warders and the prison governor were now under him. Potiphar and his wife were now under him. The God of promotion will show you mercy in Jesus' name.
Mercy delivered Israel out of bondage. May mercy deliver you in the name of Jesus.
Mercy brought Rahab and her household out of trouble. By the mercy of God, what destroyed Jericho did not touch her. Mercy will cry out. Mercy will cry out. Mercy will help you in the name of Jesus.
