FAITH CAPSULE: Come out of the bondage of sin, Jesus has paid to be free.

John 14

Without understanding God, one will lack knowledge of living for God.
The will of God is to exist for His glory.
The will of God is for all to exist to give Him glory, honor, and power.
Revelation 4:11 records, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”
When there is no understanding, there will be no power to strive and know not to live a life of obedience before God.
The life of one in obedience to God is not a vessel of disobedience before God, and it is not in bondage to sin.
The bondage of sin takes away life, but Jesus came to give life abundantly.
Jesus paid the price by going to the cross for the sinners.
All should be obedient to the word of God, living life for God, not a life of sin.
Sin is the character of evil to kill and destroy.
Jesus said He is here to give life abundantly.
John 10:10 encourages, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Choose against the slave of sin.
Jesus has paid on the cross, shed His blood, and resurrected after His death by crucifixion.
Jesus triumphed over death.
Live life for God, come out of the bondage of sin, Jesus has paid to be free.
Make it a way of life, not to live in bondage to sin.
All should live a life reflecting the price paid on the cross by Jesus, reminding all not to live a life of sin.
Celebrating the price paid on the cross for all not to be victims of sin, but to take life abundantly, Jesus brought.
It is worthy to give regard to God for the price paid to bring all out of the bondage of sin.
Living a life not of bondage to sin, giving regard to God as a way of life, to be filled by the word of God, not the world of sin.
One that is not free is in bondage.
John 8:43 informs, “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, ‘If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.  And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
One who knows the truth will be free and not be a victim of bondage.
Meditating on the word of God, the way, the truth of God, is bound to be free from the bondage of sin.
John 14:6 identifies the only way not to live a life of bondage, stating, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Know the truth, not about so as not to be a slave of sin.

Prayer for today: Ask for the power of the resurrection of Jesus to answer in your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Let the month answer as the month to come out of the bondage of sin.

Romans 9

Pray to come out of the bondage of sin.
As the grace of God has brought you this far, He is more than able to see you through the coming months and years in the name of Jesus.
Living life day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year is a great privilege of God.
God alone creates all, and has not contracted anyone to help Him in the creation of anything.
God creates all for His glory, honour, and power.
Are you one with the idea of how your creation was outside of God as your creator?
Prophet Jeremiah testifies to the evidence, the understanding of God as the creator of all, stating, “Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
Understand and know that God creates all.
Knowing God is to live for His glory, honor, and power.
Not to live for God is living against His word.
Living against the word of God is sin, not giving regard to the word of God.
Sin and sinning are a bondage, a way not to live for God.
Sin and sinning are not of God but to set one away from God.
Sin walks in the opposite direction of God.
A failure to do as commanded by the word of God is sin.
With sin, no man can reach God.
Giving an excuse in place of disobedience will not avoid the consequence of disobedience.
Sin is with no excuse for the consequence.
For your sin, are you counting on excuses before God?
Romans 3:23 admonishes, “…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 
To become short of the glory of God is not to access the presence of God.
It is bondage when sin and sinning become a way of life.
There is no excuse for sin before God.
Title or role engaged before God will not count but bring painful consequences to the sinner, a disobedient to the word of God.
Answering as a believer or holding a title, making sin a way of life will prompt the consequences of God. 
The mercy of God answers for deliverance from the bondage of sin, you know and do not know in your life.
The mercy of God is not the evidence of one who knows to do right.
Romans 9:15 records the word of God to Moses about His mercy, stating, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”
Are you conscious of life of sin and sinning as a way of life?
To lack understanding to live for God will not have the knowledge to excel in the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you not to live a life of sin.

FAITH CAPSULE: Sin is sin with no excuse for the consequence of sin.

Genesis 3

For your sin, are you counting on excuses before God?
Sin and sinning are not of God but to set one away from God.
Sin walks in the opposite direction of God.
A failure to do as commanded by the word of God is sin.
With sin, no man can reach God.
Giving an excuse in place of disobedience will not avoid the consequence of disobedience.
Sin is sin with no excuse for the consequence of sin.
Romans 3:23 admonishes, “…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 
To become short of the glory of God is not to access the presence of God.
Is sin and sinning your way of life?
There is no legitimate excuse for one with sin before God.
Adam and Eve violated the word of God, and there was no reasonable excuse for their sin. 
Adam did not ask God for a helper when God created Eve as his helper. Genesis 2:20-22 confirms,“…But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.” 
The sin of Adam was rooted in the disobedience of Eve, but it was not a legitimate excuse before God.
Genesis 3:9-13 documents that God called on Adam for his sin and his excuse for sin: “Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, ‘Where are you? So, he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself. “And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
The sin of Adam does not have a reasonable excuse before God, but provoked the consequence of sin over Adam.
Are you living a life of sin and sinning and counting on excuses before God? 
Be warned, know, and understand that sin and sinning are not excusable before God.
Title or role engaged before God will not count but bring painful consequences to the sinner, a disobedient to the word of God.
As a temple of God, are you taking care of the temple of God? 
The word of God records, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). Answering as a believer, making sin a way of life, does not stop the consequences of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask that God enable you not to be a vessel of sin and sinning.

FAITH CAPSULE: Are you assuming the ability to hide from God?

Proverbs 4

God alone creates all.
No one can hide from God in all ways of life.
How can a creature hide from the creator?
Jeremiah 1:5 said it all, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Are you assuming the ability to hide from God?
Search and know how to live for God to gain and retain the hand of God in your life.
No heart that can hide from God.
It is the heart of all that presents one before God. 
Every heart does not hide before God, who sees all about the doing of the heart.
Genesis 6:5 testifies how the heart of all exposes the wickedness before God. “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” 
Keep in mind that no one can precisely see what another heart is doing.
Jeremiah 17:9 testifies, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?”
The Bible points out that the heart is where the rise and fall begin. 
Satan makes the heart a target, a launching pad to attack. 
Judas spent time with Jesus, yet his heart made him available as a playground for Satan. 
The book of Luke 22:3-4 states,“Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.” 
Satan went after the heart of Judas to establish his plan of betraying Jesus. 
Invariably, faith will fail when the enemy attacks and gains a position in the heart.
Peter was close to Jesus and could also have been a victim of the devil. Once, Jesus said to him, “…Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. “But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” (Luke 22:31-32) 
The only proven target for the enemy to strike is the heart. 
Ananias and Sapphira sell their possession to buttress the fellowship but lie about the proceedings, “But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep part of the price of the land for yourself? (Acts 5:3)
Evil doing is the business of Satan, and he has taken the hearts of all as a target. 
The word encourages, “Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)
Meditate on the word of God to disengage Satan from the heart. 
Keep the heart diligently from evil by meditating on the word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God for enablement to keep the heart diligently.
