Pastor Poju Oyemade of The Covenant Nation has been teaching on "The Law of Mercy". This concept emphasizes that showing mercy to others will, in turn, cause mercy to triumph over judgment in your own life.
Key principles of "The Law of Mercy"
Mercy triumphs over judgment: Drawing from scriptures like James 2:13, Oyemade highlights that an individual who practices mercy will see it "rejoice against judgment" during their own time of need.
The origin is compassion: True mercy stems from a heart of compassion and is not a public act done for show. It is something done discreetly to help others in their time of need.
The divine nature is released: According to Oyemade, when a person acts out of compassion and helps others, they release God's divine nature. This can result in blessings and spiritual growth in their own lives.
Results in favor and growth: Operating in the law of mercy can lead to unmerited favor and the growth of positive things in one's life. This means receiving blessings that you didn't necessarily labor for.
Requires humility and prayer: Oyemade urges believers to pray for God's mercy daily and to humble themselves, rather than being boastful or arrogant. He emphasizes that all gifts and talents are made relevant by God's mercy.
Sowing and reaping: A March 2024 Instagram post linked to Oyemade's teaching on the law of mercy, reiterating the principle that "what you sow, you reap" and stressing the importance of being careful how you treat others.
