A HEART THAT BEATS WITH COMPASSION

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted (Matthew 5:4).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 

In the opening scripture, the Lord Jesus wasn’t referring to people mourning out of sorrow; rather, He was speaking prophetically, using the language of the prophets. In the Old Testament, when prophets mourned, it wasn’t over personal grief. They mourned because of the state of God’s people, for example, their disobedience, captivity, or spiritual decline. They cried out in intercession, burdened for the souls of men and the honour of God’s Name.

So, when the Lord Jesus said, “Blessed are they that mourn,” He was referring to those whose hearts are moved by the things that move God. This kind of mourning is born of love and compassion. It’s not sorrow for self but godly sorrow for others, an intercessory response to the spiritual condition of people and nations.

For example, you hear that someone has stopped going to church, or that a Christian has grown cold in their faith, and then your heart aches, not in judgment but in prayer. You weep before the Lord, crying out for their restoration. And thanks be unto God! The Lord assures that those who mourn like this, those who weep in prayer for others, shall be comforted.

The comfort comes when the answers manifest, when you see that person restored, when you see their lives changed and their situations turned around. Intercession moves the heart of God. There’re times in prayer when words fail and tears speak; it’s part of the deep travail for souls. There’re moments when the burden is so strong that all you can let out are deep sighs and profuse tears of intercession (Romans 8:26).

And as you weep, the power of the Spirit goes into operation. I have experienced that many times. I have files with names of people I’ve prayed for through the years, some of whom today are ministers of the Gospel and leaders in different churches. Some had bad attitudes; some were inconsistent; others faced struggles in their business or faith. I wrote their names down and interceded for them with tears.

But today, seeing their transformation, I rejoice; I’m comforted. When your heart beats deeply with compassion for others, you align yourself with the very heart of God. Your intercession becomes His channel of comfort and change in the world. So, let your heart be tender. Let compassion move you to prayer.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for giving me a heart that beats with your compassion to always intercede with passion and love for the lost, the weak, and the straying. Through my prayers, lives are changed, restored, and your Kingdom advances mightily. Thank you for the comfort and joy of answered prayer, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

Ezekiel 9:4 and the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

Isaiah 66:10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

Psalm 119:136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, Because they keep not thy law.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.DD. 🗒️THURSDAY,20 JANUARY 2022🗒️ ⏮️TOPIC: THE KINGDOM WAY OF LIFE  SCRIPTURE 📖 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13) 📍THE MESSAGE📍 When you were born again, you were born into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. Even though you now live and walk in His presence, you still have to learn how to live in this real Kingdom of Light, and the Scriptures will help you understand this by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul writing to Timothy said: “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God…” (1 Timothy 3:15). This means there’s a way to behave oneself in the house of God. Christianity isn’t a way of life, but it has a way of life. In this Kingdom, there’s a language; we have our communication protocols. There’s a way of life; we think differently. This is something the devil doesn’t want many to know. He wants...

The light of God is in you, in your spirit. You bear the perfections of Christ. Hallelujah! The Bible says, “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6). You’re truly the living tabernacle of God! Christ is alive in you. We are the last generation; the generation called to manifest His glory in the earth. This is what the earth has been waiting for. Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” We’re in office; we’ve taken our place of dominion, impacting our world with the glory of God.
