CLAIM THE GIFT

FAITH CAPSULE: What have you been giving back to God for the GIFT of God?

John 10

God is mindful of all. 
God gave Jesus, His beloved son, for all to accept Him, not to be a victim of sin.
Are you giving back to God, living life for the gift of Jesus?
Ask yourself about what you are doing to give back to Jesus lately. 
What have you been giving back to God for the GIFT of God?
Jesus is the GIFT of God.
Do you believe in God?
All acclaimed believers should walk in His righteousness, living obediently to His command as giving back to God for the gift of Jesus. 
Living life should be serving God.
With understanding comes to sow self for God by serving Him.
What one sows indeed is what shall surely reap. 
In life, it is impossible to sow the seed of deception and expect to reap the fruit of perfection. 
Any man that sows the seed of lie will reap the fruit of being deceived. 
A true believer of God should know Him and not be living life as a liar.
Word of God admonished, “He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. 
By this, we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” (1John2:4-6)
God invests so much in the life of all, but the majority extends so little in return to God.
Today, what do you sow in response to the GIFT of God? 
Be mindful and know that there is nothing that passes outside of God that sees all under the heaven.
What are you giving back in response to the giving of God?
A failure not to accept the giving of God is evidence of not to sow self for God, to reap for eternal life, not damnation.
The thief is active, working to deny one not to sow self in the gift of God.
John 10:10-11 records, “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. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep”  
Living life to the glory of God will provoke the hand of God over one that sows self in God as a believer of God. 
God creates all for His glory as stated in Revelation 4:11, “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.”
Are you living life for the creator of all?
It is your new turnaround to sow self for God and live life for His glory.

Prayer for today: Ask for God’s hand to draw you near for His glory.

THE SHEPHERDS

FAITH CAPSULE: To become wrongly led does not excuse for the consequence before God.

Jeremiah 50

All should be questioning themselves to know if one is far and lost from the presence of God.
God is near to all, but the majority are far from God and do not have the rest of God.
The rest of God is the promise of God in place for those not lost from God.
The route to being far from God is the route to being lost.
God is mindful of all to give His beloved son for all, but the majority did not get the understanding to live life for the glory of God.
Jesus said, “…for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)
THE REASON FOR THE LOST 
Jeremiah 50:6 points it out, “My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray; They have turned them away to the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill; They have forgotten their resting place.” 
The word points out that the Shepherds are the contributing role to be lost, but to be lost will not have an excuse for the lost ones before God.
To be lost is not living for God but shall experience the consequence of living life as the lost.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost sheep, and the sheep that seek Him will find Him to become saved.
To become wrongly led does not excuse for the consequence before God. John 8:31-32 records that an individual should know the truth and not become a victim like the lost one. 
John 8:31-32 states: “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.”
There is no excuse to have been wrongly led if: “…YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH…” 
From today, seek God to know the truth to keep you safe and not become a victim of being led wrong by the Shepherds. 
Making a wrong choice is a way to become a victim of shepherds leading sheep into the track of loss.
Know the truth, and have the desire not to be a victim of a shepherd leading that leads into the track of lost.
The psalm of David states, “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.” (Psalm 27:4)
What is your choice?
All should know to have the right choice, and with the desire to seek the truth of God, not being led wrongly.
The way of the lost is the route that leads the LOST one not to gain REST, the promise of God in place for all.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with the strength not to walk the walk of the lost.

RIGHTFUL PLACE

FAITH CAPSULE: Error erases disobedience from the rightful place in the Lord.

Numbers 20

God is a God of order.
The word of God is His command.
Obey the command of God with no negotiation to disobey. 
Have you been commanded by God and not obeyed?
It does not matter who you are, but it does matter not to disobey the word of God.
To disobey His word is to be destroyed. 
Proverbs 13:13 warns all, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.” 
Disobedient to the word of God is the lack of fear for God. 
Moses, as great as he was in the hand of God, could not step on the Promised Land because he disobeyed the command of God.
The disobedience of Moses is no excuse to deliver him from the consequence of his error.
Error erases disobedience from the rightful place in the Lord.
The Bible records the disobedience of Moses: 
“Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” (Numbers 20:7-8) 
Moses was to respond to the children of Israel for water when God commanded him to speak to the rock. 
Moses did not speak as God commanded him but disobeyed by pleasing himself against the command of God. 
The Bible records in Numbers 20:11, “Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod, and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.” 
Moses struck the rock in the place to speak as commanded by God.
The disobedience of Moses did not settle well with God. 
As a result, God responded to Moses and Aaron, “…Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” (Numbers 20:12) 
A lifetime journey ended up in the wilderness for Moses when he struck instead of speaking to become denied from getting to the Promised Land. 
Disobedient to God is evidence not to fear God.
Today, all live in the time of dispensation of grace, but it is not a reason to disobey the command of God. 
The word questions all: “…Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1-2) 
The sin of Moses is with no excuse before God, but it is enough for all to learn not to disobey the command of God. 
Fear God, live by His word, and not become a victim of sin and sinning before God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be delivered from the spirit of disobedience.

GOD SPEAKS

Faith Capsule: When God speaks, His visitation of wonders shall visit you.

2 Samuel 5

Ezekiel 37:1-3 records the conversation of God with Ezekiel, “Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley, and indeed they were very dry. And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord GOD, You know.”  
Ezekiel answered, but God promised to give life to the dry bone and caused Ezekiel to know that He is LORD. 
God does not need to prove Himself to anyone.
The point to take out of this is that if He has spoken into your life, He shall perform it regardless of how long it takes. 
King Saul created a hindrance mountain, trying to deny David from his arrival at where the word of God spoke to David. 
After the death of Saul, David eventually became the king as the word of God spoke to David.
2 Samuel 5:1-3 records, “Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, ‘Indeed we are your bone and your flesh. Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the LORD said to you, ‘You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over Israel.’’ Therefore, all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel.” 
King David became anointed for the third time. 
Samuel anointed David the first time, the second time was his rule over Judah, and the third was his rule over the whole nation. 
The word of God came to pass in the life of David because the word of God does not fail.
Has God spoken into your life as He spoke to Ezekiel and David?
When God speaks His visitation of wonders in your life, you shall experience His visitation.
God spoke into the life of David challenges could not hinder or derail the manifestation of the word of God over his life.
2 Samuel 5:4-5 records, “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. In Hebron, he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem, he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.”  
It is important to note that the challenges of David for running and hiding his life from the hand of Saul were nothing to compare with the years he spent reigning and ruling as one ordained.
Are you in doubt of the word of God over your life?
1 Thessalonians 5:24 also encourages all, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”
Focus and not frail for the word of God that speaks to you.

Prayer for today: Ask that the hand of God shall rest over your life and place you at the center of His plan.

GIVE SELF TO GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: Give self to the Word of God, live life for God.

Joshua 3 

One with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding will gain to retain the magnify of the Word of God.
Psalm 138:2 testifies, “I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified your word above all Your name.”
The Word of God is God. 
God, without His Word, there is nothing He does.
John 1:1-3 confirms the Word of God is eternal, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made.”
All should know God, to give self to God in His Word.
The Bible verses point it out:
The Word of God is God, and power belongs to the Word of God.
Without the Word, nothing was created.
The Word of God is everything for all to have life without becoming wasted.
The source of FAITH is the living WORD of God.
Word is the living power that produces a living proof in the life of one that is faithful.
The Word of God is the source of faith for one to be with a spiritual power but not a philosophy or ideology. 
Jesus said, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)
Are you spending time in the Word of God to become established in your life?
The Word of God is the power that gives light. 
This world of wickedness and darkness demands all to become full of the Word of God, not to be a victim of evil.
The Word of God needs to gain entrance into life to give light and understanding. 
Psalm 119:130 buttresses, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.” 
The Word of God that gains entrance into the life of one will enable such to take a position not far from God.
One that the Word gains entrance takes the position of communicating God at all times.
With one that the Word of God gain the entrance and meditating on the Word of God day and night shall be established for the glory of God.
The Word of God is the law of God.
Joshua 1:8 speaks about meditating, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
Give self to the Word of God, and live life for God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the living Word of God to locate you and be established in you.
