FAITH CAPSULE: Personalize the Word of God as your personal mail from God.

Romans 15

The word of God is His documentation for all to learn, to gain understanding, knowledge, to live life according to the will of God.
Romans 15:4 enlightens all, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” 
This Faith-mail is rooted in the written Word of God for dealing with the daily challenges of life. When the Word of God is believed and received as Faith-Mail addressed to one, from God, to personalize to keep at heart, it will make one full of faith. 
Faithful will know to confess the word of faith when faced with ups and downs of life. 
Through the pages of this book are letters rooted in the Word of God. 
In this challenging world, skim through the book Faith mail, expose yourself to engage the word of God. The Word of God is God, the All-Knowing, and knows the heart and faith of all. It is the level of one in faith that will determine how God responds. 
Keep your heart to be occupied by the Word of God, to live life by the will of God.
King Saul could not live by the will of God. His unlawful sacrifice made God reveal David, “…I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.” (Acts 13:22) 
Indeed, David set himself to seek after the heart of God. 
Thus, God said I have found in David, a man after my own heart. 
In David’s words, he spoke not from his head to impress a man but spoke from his heart by stating that, “I have set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.” (Psalm 16:8)
Personalize the Word of God as personal mail sent by God to you for your healing and deliverance.  Psalm 107:20 confirms, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
It is worthy to receive the Word of God as a faith-mail sent to keep one, to deliver one, and preserve one from destruction. 
This day, begin to set the word of God before yourself to live life by faith (Habakkuk 2:4); to walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7); to watch, stand fast in the faith (1 Corinthians 16:13); to have purified heart (Acts 15:9).
To receive the Word of God personal as faith-mail for deliverance and preservation will allow God to lead in the path of life and to live life for the glory of God. 
The journey of life demands faithfulness to keep one to abide in the presence of God. 
Are you full of the Word of God, to walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; to serve Him and hold fast to Him?

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to receive His word into your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Give ear to my call Lord my God.

Psalm 141

This day, pray the word of God as Acts 6:4 records, “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
When God calls one, He will back such up not to be a failure. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 informs us, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”
It could be that you are on the right track to your center of divine assignment but yet delay because of a lack of understanding to see clearly in your calling like Moses.
Moses was on the right track but to be trapped on the right until God call his attention for him to be opened up and see what he carries to go forward to his divine assignment.
God called the attention of Moses in Exodus 4:2, “So the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”
The moment Moses got the attention of what it takes to move forward in the calling of his life, every hindrance of delay, deny, stagnation, inactivity, and inaction gave up for his advance in the calling of God.
PRAYER
Ask that the calling of God in your life to become activated over your life.
Ask that your ears, eyes, and mind become open to seeing all that the Lord God has put in place for the direction of God that will enable you to answer the calling of God over your life.
Ask that every agent of denial, delay, stagnation be converted for motion by the hand of God over your life not to be a failure in the name of Jesus.
God is near at all times, but man is always far from God.
With the desire to near to God, David knows to ask God to DRAW HIM when he said, “Draw near to my soul and redeem it; Deliver me because of my enemies.” (Psalm 69:18)
Psalmist also testifies, “But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all Your works.” (Psalm 73:28)
One that is near to God will experience a soul that is redeemed, and deliverance from enemies will become for one.
If to be drawn near to God is possible without prayer, David would not have prayerfully asked from God.
The creations of God are by His Word, and they cover the earth, which is the testimony that God is near to all that will acknowledge the nearness of God. Psalm 75:1 declares, “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.”
When the name of God is near, then the presence of God is not far but near to give heed to those that know to call on Him.
PRAYER 
Ask that whatever keeping you far from God should be permanently terminated that you be near to God.
Ask that God will redeem your soul and deliver you from the enemies of your life.  

FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is like food to be feeding on.

Luke 4:1-13

Daily, what do you feed on to fill you?
Whatever a man feeds on is what a man carries and not become empty. 
Are you one that feeds on the word of God to experience what to be when feeds on the word of God?
One that is empty will always have an empty talk because one cannot give out what one does not carry on the inside. 
One that is empty of the word of God does not take to the position of deliverance. 
The word of God is here for healing and deliverance from destruction. (Psalm 107:20) 
The word of God, His commandment is like food, Job 23:12 testifies, “I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.” Without doubt, the word of God should be taking in as food as Jeremiah 15:16 states, “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.”
The word of God is like food to feed on continually without excuse not to feed.
Are you empty of the word of God lately? 
Is your talk not producing results of a child of the Living God? 
God does not listen to empty talk. Job buttress in Job 35:13, “Surely God does not listen to empty talk, nor will the Almighty regard it.” 
In this wicked world, can you afford to live life as an empty one?
When one becomes empty, one will end up wasted because wickedness will come in and dwell in one that is empty. When you first turned your life to God, He gave you deliverance. 
With the deliverance of God, you are to be filled up by His Word. However, if you have turned away from God, you will be back to being empty. 
What happens to be empty is mentioned by Jesus in Matthew12: 43-45, “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation?”
The devourer of man is a specialist of returning to one that is not feeding on the word or one that does not remain continually become full of the word of God.
It is time to come out of emptiness and not become wasted in the face of the wicked world. Do not forsake the word of God but take to the word of God as a necessity. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to fill you.

FAITH CAPSULE: A man that truly knows God and pleases God is not wicked. 

Psalm 5

Knowing God will result in growth in faith.
One with faith will live life to please God.
Are you living life to please God?
The word declares that without faith, God is not pleased.
Hebrews 11:6 said it clear, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him…” 
Living a life that does not please God will not retain the presence of God. A man that truly knows God and pleases God is not wicked.
David identifies a way of unpleasing God, “For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You.” (Psalm 5:4) Wickedness is unpleasing to God; it is evil and does not retain the presence of God.
David, a man after the heart of God (1 Samuel 13: 14) points out what wickedness is about in Psalm 5: 
The boastful is wicked and shall not stand before God (The boastful shall not stand in Your sight Psalm 5:5) 
One with iniquity is wicked (You hate all workers of iniquity Psalm 5:5)
Falsehood (untruth) speakers are wicked ones that turn the glory of God to shame (Psalm 4:2); (You shall destroy those who speak falsehood Psalm 5:6) 
Bloodthirsty and deceitful are wicked before God.  (Psalm 5:6)
Psalm 5:9 further identifies wickedness:
Wicked ones do not have faithfulness in their mouth; wicked ones inward part is destruction; the wicked do have the throat of an open tomb; wicked tongue flatters; wicked ones, with all their transgressions, they have rebelled against God.
Is there any trace of wickedness in your life?
Jeremiah 12:1-2 also pointed out clearly who the wicked ones:
“Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth but far from their mind.” 
Know about God in the mouth is the route of a wicked one while knowing God is near to God with a place for God in the heart and not far from God.
Do you know God in the heart or know about God in the mouth?
Are you religious before God?
Strive to come out of religion into the reality of God, to know God. 
To be spotless and not be wrinkle is the desire of God for man. God wants man to be holy and without blemish. Today, take to the word of James 1:21 as stated, “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” Wickedness is filthy (dirty) and does not have a place before God. Avoid being a wicked one, but allow the word of God to be rooted in you.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to live a life pleasing Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: Know God to remain steadfast in the Lord.

Philippians 4

One that does not know God but only knows about God is heartless of God, the things of God, and not steadfast in the things of God. It is a self-deception to be claiming to be a believer but just knowing about God and not know God.
Do you know God?
Are you steadfast with God and have faith to walk with God?
Once in the journey, the Israelites were an example of a lack of steadfastness and not faithful to God.  Psalm 78:37 records, “For their heart was not steadfast with Him, nor were they faithful in His covenant.”
Knowing God is to remain steadfast in the Lord.
Meditating on the word of God day and night is the evidence of being steadfast in the Lord.
Meditating day and night will gain and retain the presence of God. 
God did not hide the secret of meditation when He approached Joshua after the death of Moses. Joshua 1:8-9 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. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” 
Get to know God steadfastly, gain to retain the presence of God, and become a candidate for doing exploits to the glory of God.
Retaining the presence of God is the avenue to carry out great exploits. 
The word of Paul the apostle speaks to all what it takes to meditate: Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:8-9)
In your meditation before God, know to:
Think right, to think justly, to think pure always, to think lovely, and to think the report to be taking the position that is good to the glory of God.
Are you one that knows about God?
Knowing about God will not move you far in this wicked world.
In this wicked world, knowing God will mark you to live life for the glory of God. 
Knowing God does not have an iota of doubt about God but to know God beyond doubt.
In this wicked world, put aside every logic or philosophy to believe that there is God. He is the Omnipotent, Omnipresent God with no reason to prove Himself, the testimonies of God speak loud to one that will hear Him.
Knowing about God is not the same as knowing God.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the renewal of steadfastness for Him.
