FAITH CAPSULE: One that fears God walk in His ways, love, and serve God diligently.

Deuteronomy 10

By faith is to be-living (believe) the word of God for the glory of God. Be-living by the word of God is not by the mouth. What does God want from all? 
Deuteronomy 10:12 identifies answers: “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” 
One that fears God walk in His ways, love, and serve God diligently.
Do you fear God? 
Seek God diligently with all heart and with all soul to walk in His ways. God spoke to the Israelites, “They shall be My people, and I will be their God; then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me.” (Jeremiah 32:38-40) 
God wants from all is to fear Him.
God is a good God. It is a must to fear God living life for His glory.
To fear will love God to be obedient to His word. 1 Samuel 12:14 admonishes, “If you fear the Lord and serve Him and obey His voice, and do not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then both you and the king who reigns over you will continue following the Lord your God.” Have the desire that the fear of God will reign and rule your life. 
Do you have faith? 
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) Without faith, it is not possible to fear or love God.
Do not just have faith but be a faith-full believer.
Claiming to know about faith does not make one faithful.
Get to know to understand as a faithful one. 
Pray with a desire to be what God calls all man to be when He made you.
What does God want from all?  Psalm 139:14 of David testifies, “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.”
One that fears God walk in His ways, love, and serve God diligently is with boldness and character in the ways of life.
Be faithful with fear and love to live as fearfully and wonderfully creation of God. 
Today, come out of self-deception pay attention by listening to the word of God. Live life for the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God in His mercy to enable you to fear Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: Know to seek God diligently, not just seeking Him in your ways.

1 Samuel 17

Among ways to seek God diligently is by keeping His testimonies, to declare Him not to deny Him in the journey of life.
First, to seek God diligently is by giving self to keeping His testimonies. Deuteronomy 6:17 buttresses, “You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.”
All should be given to the testimonies of God to be blessed by God just like David. 
Know to give self to the testimonies of God to gain His attention and be blessed as promised in Psalm 119:2, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!”
The testimony of God over the life of David provoked the blessing of God with the victory he had over Goliath. 1 Samuel 17:45-47 documented, “Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.”
Second, to seek God diligently is to declare for God and not to deny Him.
In life, regardless of the challenge, do not deny God but declare His as your Lord and savior. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, the three friends of Daniel, declare God as a God of deliverance. The three friends could not deny serving God but rejected not serving gods or worship the gold image of Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar, with anger, threatened to send the three friends of Daniel into burning fiery fire. The three friends responded to the threat of Nebuchadnezzar, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” (Daniel 3:16-18) In the burning fiery furnace, the deliverance of God answered for the friends of Daniel.
In this wicked world, listen to the word of God that is the key to live life for the glory of God. 
Know to seek God diligently in His word, worship God and not worry.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to seek Him diligently in all ways of life.

FAITH CAPSULE: It is worth living life for the glory of God.

Genesis 22

It is reasonable for all to know, understand, and be mindful of the truth that God alone created all to live life for His glory and honor.
Revelations 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.” 
There is no reasonable excuse for no one not to live life for the glory and honor of God but to take God for granted. 
In your service to God, are you pleasing yourself but displeasing God? Knowing God as a long-suffering God without living life for His glory is not a license for any man not to be living life for the glory of God. 
Live life for God by lifting your hands as submission should be with the expectation of reaching God. 
Claiming to be living life for God is to remain connected with God continually.
God is a good God that is worth for all man to be living life for His glory.
Seeking God diligently with all heart and with all soul is to find Him. Deuteronomy 4:29 speaks to all, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”  What do we do to live life for God when seeking God diligently instead of taking God for granted?
1. TO SEEK GOD DILIGENTLY is obedience to HIS WORD
Exodus 19:5 recorded, “Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.” 
The Bible spoke in the Old Testament for the obedience of Israelites before God. 
The New Testament record the benefit of demonstration of obedience by disciples of Jesus. Luke 5:4-6 states, “When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch. But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless, at Your word, I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.” Obedience is seeking God to live for His glory. Disciples of Jesus obeyed to be enabled to live life for God as a fisher of man.
2. TO SEEK GOD DILIGENTLY will fear God not to hold self from His word.
Abraham lived life for the glory of God. Abraham could not withhold from the command of God as commanded by God.
God recognized the obedience of Abraham to His word and said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” (Genesis 22:12)
Abraham could not take God for granted but lived life for God by seeking God with all his heart and soul.

Prayer for today: Ask that God enable you to live life for His glory.

 FAITH CAPSULE: What kind of a believer are you?

Isaiah 37

There are unbelieving believers, and also there are believing believers.
Who are you?
Unbelieving believers are conversant in the word of God, carry the word of God in the mouth but not in the heart.
Unbelieving believers are with character and act as religious instead of living as Christ-like, which is the evidence of a believing believer living by the word of God.
What kind of a believer are you?
Today, with a desire, live life for God, ask that God will enable you to begin to live life by the word of God, to live life for the glory of God, and not to live a life of waste. 
Prayer is the rod of a believing believer that prays with understanding for deliverance and preservation to excel to the glory of God.
Ask for the mercy of God to enable you with the strength of prayer continually before Him.
When King Sennacherib Assyrians mount up a threat against King Hezekiah, it was the prayer of Hezekiah that brought down the forces of Assyrians.
Hezekiah sent for Isaiah about the challenges of the Assyrians.
Isaiah 37:6-8 records the response to Hezekiah, ” And Isaiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to your master, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me. 7 Surely I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”  
Hezekiah was prayerful against the Assyrians when he concluded his prayer before God as stated, “Now, therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the Lord, You alone.” (Isaiah 37:29)
God answered the prayer of Hezekiah and confirmed by Isaiah. (Isaiah 37:21)
Ask against every representative of Assyrians that is mounting against your destiny.
Also, the blasphemers of you shall fall and not rise again.
Ask that every threat against your life shall be shattered and not stand against you.
Answering or living life as a believing believer is not an excuse from praying continually.
The word of Paul the apostles encourages in Act 6:4, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
As an acclaimed believing believer, do not disallow prayer from taking a central place in your life continually.
Hezekiah was sick when God sent Isaiah to reveal the cause of his sickness and his near death.
Isaiah 38:1 states, “In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.”
Hezekiah did not hesitate with an excuse but responds to the message of the Lord in Isaiah 38:2, “Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord.” 
Prayer of deliverance before God is not an excuse for all.

Prayer for today:  Ask God to enable you with strength on the prayer altar.

FAITH CAPSULE: You should know and understand to engage the help of God.

Psalm 107

The number of challenges that mounts against you is not beyond God that will undoubtedly deliver you if you give heed to the word of God.
The word of God is for deliverance and preservation. Through the pages of the bible, those that engage the word of God experience deliverance and preservation. 
Psalm 107:20 encourages the deliverance that the word of God carries, “He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.”
Are you with the expectation from God to experience healing, breakthrough from broken down, or having a way where there is no way? 
Before God, there is no difficulty to experience possibility where there is an impossibility.
The word of God is the power of God to deliver anyone that will listen to hear the word of God.
Listening with understanding will see in the word of God.
To see in the word of God will be able to receive the saying in the word of God.
For you with the word of God: Paying attention to the word of God is listening to hear to see, to receive, and the will become of you.
The word of God is creating the power of God not to ignore by a believer of God. 
Often, ignorance of a believer makes a destitute of such.
Disobedient is a rampart device of the devil to sway man, particularly a believer that gives self to a way that seems right in the place of living by the way in the word of God that is certain to deliver. Proverbs 14:12 warns all, “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
The way of God will deliver when heard, see, receive and become in the life of one that hears the word of God.
Whose word are you giving yourself to in this wicked world?
Is it the word of whom you count on that you give yourself?
Pay attention and know that the one you count on is the same one you commit. 
Today know to gain an understanding that it is an error to commit yourself.
Jesus, our Lord, and savior could not commit Himself to no man because He knows all. John 2:24 testifies, “But Jesus did not commit Himself to them because He knew all men.”
The help for all is in place by God, in His word, since the time of His creation.
Why are you looking out for help outside of God?
God is the Almighty God, and by His hand, He will not look away from those who seek Him in His help.  John 10:10 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.” 
Incomparable help of God to have life more abundantly that is already here for one that will give self to the word of God.
Know that the help of God is here!

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to give yourself to His word continually.
