FAITH CAPSULE: Give regard to God not to become a captive of doubt.

Matthew 14

What makes up a man will be the mark of what it takes to live life.
Giving self to doubt is the avenue to self-destruction. 
Give regard to God, to know Him, and not to become a captive of doubting God. 
Do not doubt, do not limit, or despise the power of the word of God. Proverbs 13:13 warns, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”  
Give regard to the word of God, know and patiently live by His word to experience the termination of struggle or challenge in any area of life. Psalm 34:19 encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” 
The word of God is the power to do and undo as directed to address life challenges. 
Hebrews 4:12 describes the word, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” 
Give regard to the word of God, deny doubt in your thought or action.
Word is indeed living, powerful, and sharper to terminate challenges to the glory of God.
In your challenge, why not give regard to the word of God to miracle in the place of mockery?
Disallow doubt!
Jeremiah testifies the identity of the word of God, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts.” (Jeremiah 15:16) 
Do not doubt to limit or despise the power of the word of God.  
Give regard to the word of God to answer you if you will work the word of God.
Working the word of God is labor. 
Laboring the word of God is obeying the word of God diligently; laboring the word of God is choosing to do the word of God instead of doing what the world says. Deuteronomy 28:1-2 states, “Now it shall come to pass, 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. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the Lord your God.” The word confirms the reason to engage word laboriously and not doubt the word of God. 
Laboring the word of God is without a doubt but will deliver the blessing of God.
Do not doubt the word of God, but do the word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask not to live a life of waste.

FAITH CAPSULE: Listen to see, to receive in the word of God.

Jeremiah 1

Just like the Israelites and Joshua, the victory for Jeremiah was rooted in the word of God when God said, “See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:10) 
God spoke to Joshua, Jeremiah, and they listen with understanding to see the manifestation in the spoken word of God. 
To Ezekiel, God spoke direction: “See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it.” (Ezekiel 4:15) Ezekiel also listened with understanding to see and received the direction by the word of God.
Every of your hearing and hearing (listening) in the word of God is the evidence of listening to see, which is the key to gain understanding.
Are you listening to understand the word of God?
Are you with understanding to see your victory in the word of God just like Joshua, Jeremiah, and many others in the pages of the Bible?
Are you with understanding to see your unfailing direction in the word of God just like Ezekiel and others in the pages of the Bible?
The word of God is the manual for all. 
Live a life of understanding to be seeing and receive in the word of God.
Jesus is the Word of God. (John 1:1)
John 10:10 records the purpose of the coming Jesus: “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.” 
Listen to the word of God to see God in Him (the word of God) to live life more abundantly?
John 14:25-27 records the gift of His peace:
 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Every recording of the word of Jesus that sounds in your direction is the source of your peace.
Are you listening to understand and to see in the word of God? 
If you are listening with understanding, you will see and receive as spoken to you.
Just in case the word has sounded to you but not remember, Jesus promised that the Helper, the Holy Spirit from God, in His name, will teach you to remember all that He has said.
In all your listening to the word of God, understand to see, to receive, and what you see will become of you.
God is good!

Prayer for today: Ask to be filled with wisdom and understanding in the word of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Pray that this month will answer for you as the month to live life for God.

Psalm 91

Living life for God demands to grow in the wisdom and knowledge of God.
Isaiah 33:6 speaks to all, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
Are you growing in the wisdom and knowledge of God, the source of strength, the only way to fear God and be stable in these challenging times?
As a way of life, pray nonstop that God will fill you with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
THE EVIDENCE OF NOT LIVING LIFE FOR GOD, NOT ABIDING IN HIM. 
John 8:32 records, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” One that does not receive the truth will see it as a threat and does not accept it to abide in it.
Those who do not receive the truth are in bondage of pride; they are not free to be corrected or redirected, not living life for God.
Those who do not abide in Him are rebellious, not living life for God. Job 24:13 buttresses, “There are those who rebel against the light; they do not know its ways nor abide in its paths.” Jesus is the wisdom from God for us. (1 Corinthians 1:30) Live life for God to give your ears to hearing the rebukes of life just like Proverbs 15:31 admonishes, “The ear that hears the rebukes of life, will abide among the wise.”
LIVE LIFE BEFORE GOD
Living life for God, abiding in Him is taking a passage not to live life in darkness. In John 12:46, Jesus said, “I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.” 
It is not possible to be answering as a believer and be full of darkness. 
To be full of darkness is abiding in darkness, not living life before God.
Those build by the word of God will live life for God. Acts 20:32 states, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” 
Pray that God enables you that His word will gain entrance in you to build you up, living life before Him.
It is worthy to pray to live life before God to experience as Proverbs 6:22 identifies, “When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.”
Claiming to live life for God or live life before God is not different, and you shall carry the mark as one that belongs to God.

Prayer for today: Pray with understanding to live life before God.

FAITH CAPSULE: become build-up for God.

Are you unbelieving believers or acclaimed believers making noise by quoting the word of God?
One that can seek the word of God and open for the entrance of the word into the heart, such shall become build for God.
Give yourself to the word of God to retain and become a build-up for God by the word of God. Acts 20:32 buttresses, “…I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up…” 
Pray that the word of God will gain entrance to be build up in God.
The world has always been a place where evil continually grows.
Genesis 6:5-6 records about the evil on earth, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent[d] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. ” (Genesis 6:5-6) 
Living in this wicked world demands continual growth in the things of God, not to be a victim of the world or not to live a life of waste.
All believers should know and understand that the evil is in the business of upgrading his cunning devices, then all man should desire and be exposed to constant self-upgrade in the word of God.
Giving self to upgrading in the Lord God demands:
Pray and ministry of the word of God.
Apostle Paul admonishes, “we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” (Acts 6:4)
Praying without the ministry of the word is not enough to upgrade any believer. Every believer should give self to the word of God if there is a desire for upgrading. 
Prayer will draw man to grow in the Lord God. 
Jesus called for prayer when He said, “when you pray” (Matthew 6:5-7) 
Praying before God is a must, is among ways to be continually upgraded in the Lord God.
To search or study in the word of God will upgrade one before God.
One that is searching or studying in the word of God will be upgrading self continually in the Lord God. 
The book of Ecclesiastes 1:13 speaks to the importance of self-upgrading: “And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised.”
A man that is studying in the word of God is upgrading self in God to become approved to God as 2 Timothy 2:15 states: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 
There is nothing like giving self to studying the word of God for self-upgrading in the Lord God. 
Get into self-upgrading in the Lord God, do not become a victim of the wicked world.

Prayer for today: Ask to enable not to become a victim of evil devices.
