FAITH CAPSULE: Walk in the order of God to arrive at the calling of God. 

Numbers 20

In the word of God, get yourself in order.
It is not a choice but a must to line self in order with the word of God.
The word of God is His order for all to live life in the order of God.
Living life in the word of God is consistently constant to bring orderliness to life.
Are you approaching life keeping the order of God, not to fail?
In the word of God, there is no compromise to displace order with the disorder.
Do not misplace order with the disorder. 
As an acclaimed believer of the word of God, there should not be an excuse to give self to disorder. 
In the journey of life, know to gain, to maintain orderliness to experience a positive result.
With God in place as the leader, there should be order in place. 
Will you allow God to take the leadership of your life?
The Bible records the promise to keep man not to miss out on the order of God:
Psalm 32:8 encourages the promise in the word of God that says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.”
Proverbs 6:22 records, “When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.” 
God waits to lead in the life of all that will give self to His leadership, not to be a victim of disorder in life.
God is God, and He is God that acts for those who wait for Him.
Today, understand to know that the order of God is direction, like the password that will access one to a breakthrough in the journey of life. 
In life, challenges such as opposition, hindrance, confusion are inevitable, but giving self to the order of God is the overcoming way.
Do not walk in disorder.
Walking in disorder will deny one from getting to the promise of God.
In life, no one is above giving self to the order of God.
Once, Moses received an order from God, but he took to disorder.
Numbers 20:8 records the order of God for Moses, “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.”  
Moses gave himself to disorder when he struck instead of speaking to the rock, and he called the people rebels. 
To be out of the order of God is to be out of direction to the promise of God. 
Moses was disordered and could not lead the Israelites into the Promised Land.
There is no status before God that will excuse for walking in disorder, outside of the order of God.
Walk in the order, the word of God, to arrive at the calling of God, the promise of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the mercy of God to keep you in place of His order.

FAITH CAPSULE: Be living in the word of God to behave the word of God.

Deuteronomy 28

Obedience to the word of God is to be living the word of God, to behave the word of God.
Obedience to the word of God is not a choice but a must. 
Among the right choices to make in life is to live obediently by the word of God.
Also, among the wrong choices to make in life is not to live disobediently to the word of God.
In obedient to the word of God are the blessings of God, while disobedient to the word of God will provoke curses.
The same word of God yesterday is the same word of God today and forever. 
In blessings, the word records, “…if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 28:1-2) 
In curses, the word records, “If you do not carefully observe all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, THE LORD YOUR GOD, 59 then the Lord will bring upon you and your descendant’s extraordinary plagues—great and prolonged plagues—and serious and prolonged sicknesses.” (Deuteronomy 28:58-59)
The point here is to live a life of obedience to the word of God.
All should know to observe the word of God. 
With understanding, to observe (seeing and seeing) the word of God shall see in the word of God.
One that observes to see in the word of God shall receive the word of God.
In life, it is what is received that belongs to one.
The word of God identifies what it takes to know and obey the word God.
God spoke to Joshua after the death of Moses and gave insight into what it takes to know and obey the word of God stating.
Joshua 1:8 records, “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.” 
Meditating, not memorizing the word of God Day and night, shall be able to observe (see) and do according to the word of God.
Without exception, all should live life according to the word of God.
Disobedience is a passage to self-destruction.
Obedient to the command of God is not just with the mouth, not lip service. 
Without the fear of God, there will be no obedience to His word. 
Obedience and fear of God should be residing in the heart of all, a way of living life. 
Constantly hear, see in the word of God to receive and become of the word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to be living life by His word.

FAITH CAPSULE: Praying and not watching is the same as a prayerless believer.

Acts 12

Praying without watching is the same as praying without understanding.
Prayer time is not a playing time.
Prayer time is not a gathering for fans as a spectator.
The follower of Christ takes a stand at prayer time.
Prayer is not limited to seeking God but to seeking God diligently.
Seeking God diligently in prayer is to seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29)
Are you approaching God in prayer not knowing that you give heart and soul, with the expectation to experience manifestation?
Seeking God diligently in prayer is also to ask, seek and knock to gain the attention of God. (Matthew 7:7)  
How is your prayer life?
A prayerless life is a prevail less one.
Elijah engaged in prayer diligently to prevail on a prayer ground.
James 5:17 record the diligence of Elijah on a prayer ground, “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly, that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.”
Elijah watched and prayed.
When Elijah waited on God with prayer, he watched seven times for an answer for the rainfall. (1 Kings 18:41-46) 
Engaging prayer diligently is watching and praying.
Pray not to be a prayerless one and know to watch and pray, the character to seek God in prayer diligently.
Do you know what is going to happen without praying?
The word of God repeatedly demands watching and praying, not just to pray.
Nehemiah 4:9 confirms the need to watch and pray, “Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night.”
Mark 13:33 warns, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.”
Mark 14:38 points to the avoidance of the danger when watching and praying, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
1 Peter 4:7 mentions the seriousness of the need for watching and praying, “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers.”
Are you watching and praying to prevail?
Are you praying to seek God diligently to find God?
As a church or the temple of God, are you awake in prayer?
Once Jesus awoke the disciples from sleeping, not watching, in the ground of praying.
Matthew 26:40 records, “Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?”
As a church member or you as a temple of God, watch and pray, not sleep shall prevail.
Herod killed James, and when set to kill Peter, the church woke from sleep. 
Acts 12:4, “Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.”
Are you a church/temple not watching and praying?
A church that prays less does not prevail.

Prayer for today: Ask against prayerless life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Situation holding one in stagnation shall gain motion.

Acts 3

What is your situation holding you in stagnation?
Are you being denied for motion?
One that is stagnant, being denied motion cannot walk but bound to crawl, not able to run, the evidence of lameness.
In life, one with physical, spiritual, or emotional lameness is a victim to become limited, susceptible not to rise in this wicked world.
Lameness is rooted in stagnation. 
Any life journey where stagnation persists, delay, and denial will disrupt arrival at the expected end. 
Lameness in life can be a position or a condition where no man desires to be.
Lameness will prompt stagnation in life.
Search yourself not living as lame, experiencing stagnation.
Lameness rooted in stagnation can be your giving attention to worthless things of this world.
Attention to the worthlessness of this wicked world cannot move forward but stagnate.
Psalm 119:37 prays, “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.”  
Without any doubt, looking away from the way of God is set to be stagnated as lame.
God is not a deceive-able by no one. 
All should have a desire for God, seeking Him to take charge of the life.
Without a doubt, it is not acceptable to be in a position of lameness in life. 
Peter and John operated as agents that delivered a lameness man with stagnation. Acts 3:1-2 records, “Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple.” 
Are you experiencing physical, spiritual, or emotional lameness?
Imagine a lame man stagnated at the beautiful temple while the inside was a ground for healing to gain motion. 
The man was lame from the womb of his mother since birth.
He was in a reduced way of what was not his desire. 
Are you having a “lame” experience in any area of your life?
Are you at the right location at the right time to receive your deliverance from lameness, the source of stagnation in life?
If you can identify your location, then your situation is half-solved. 
The lame stagnates to remain at the gate of the beautiful temple at the hour of prayer. 
When the lame man saw Peter and John, he asked for alms, not his healing possibility.
The lame man settles for less in the place of asking for more.
What are you asking from God to gain your breakthrough?
In the name of Jesus, Peter and John had more to offer the lame man.
Acts 3:4-5 records, “And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, ‘Look at us.’ So, he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.”  
With expectation, always give attention to gaining healing, deliverance, and preservation in life.

Prayer for today: Ask that every representative of lameness in your life begin to gain motion.

FAITH CAPSULE: It is always a foolish thing to disobey the word of God.

1 Samuel 13 

King Saul received instruction from Samuel to wait for lawful sacrifice before going to war against the Philistines.
King Saul disobeyed the instruction.
As Philistines gathered together to fight the Israelites, King Saul could not wait for seven days as instructed by Samuel.
1 Samuel 13:9 records, “So Saul said, “Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me.” And he offered the burnt offering.” 
King Saul tragically disobeyed both the Law of Moses and the instructions of the Prophet of God. (Leviticus 1) 
King Saul could not wait as instructed.
Getting to know the truth, waiting in obedience to instruction rooted in the word of God, shall always culminate in favor expectations. 
After the disobedience of Saul, Samuel arrived to ask, “What have you done?” 
Saul answered, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, then I said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the Lord.’ Therefore, I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.” (1 Samuel 13:11-12)
It is always a foolish thing to disobey the word of God.
Waiting for God is giving attention to a jealous God. 
Psalmist admonished, “Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed…” (Psalm 25:3)
A believer in God must understand that to wait on God endures a period of waiting without knowing how long to get an answer from God. 
Waiting on God can be a delay but never a waste of time. 
In a time of waiting, among what to exercise as a believer must engage are:
Be of good courage; rest in the Lord; wait patiently for Him; do not fret; keep His way; let your soul wait silently.
The above truth about waiting is identifiable in the scriptural verses listed below:
Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! (Psalm 27:14)
Psalm 37:7, “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.”
Psalm 37:9, “For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.”
Psalm 37:34, “Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.”
Psalm 40:1, “I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.”
Psalm 62:1, “Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.”
Psalm 62:5, “My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.”
Hosea 12:6, “… wait on your God continually.”
Challenging situations demand to wait on God. 
God is true to answer when He is waited on patiently by abiding in His word obediently. 

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with the strength to be waiting on God.
