QUOTES TO MEDITATE

FAITH CAPSULE: Quotes for the mind to meditate.

Psalm 1, 4

Meditating the word of God is continual communication with God or to locate God in His living word.
Quote rooted in the word of God is to occupy the mind for meditating before God.
The quotes below is able to engage for meditation.
LIVE LIFE FOR GOD NOT FOR YOUR SELF
The character of a selfish minded one is to know to do good but not do good. Such with selfish minded will do good except only in exchange to achieve the need as an exploiter in the life of others.
One with the character of a selfish minded is of sin before God. James 4:17 confirms a selfish minded, “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” Who are you before God? Are you living life outside of the word of God?
Search self, live life, not for self, but to the glory of God.
ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN AS PROMISED BY THE LIVING WORD OF GOD
Ask is what the unfailing Word of God requests from all that knows to ask.
Continually, ask for the living Word of God to locate you, to gain entrance into your life, and to silent the spirit of unbelieving in your life. Ask God to enable you to live life prayerfully by His word. Psalm 72:15 admonishes, “…Prayer also will be made for Him continually, and daily He shall be praised.” Apostle Paul instructs in Acts 6:4, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”  
Pray continually, because evil is continual!
LISTEN TO GAIN UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD OF GOD
One that listens will understand the word of God to live life victoriously, to the glory of God.
If you can listen, understanding will enable you to see, to receive, and what you receive in the word of God will become of you.
When there is no listening, there will be no understanding.
The word of Jesus in John 8:43 rhetorically questioned and answered, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
Are you listening enough to gain the understanding to be able to see and receive in the word?
SEE IN THE WORD OF GOD
Victory over Jericho and the wall with an attempt to deny Israelites, it was with the need to see in the spoken word of God for Joshua. God said, “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” (Joshua 6:2) 
Jeremiah saw in the word of God: “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) 
Begin to listen with understanding, see to receive in the word of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask that the word of God will stay in your heart to establish you in the presence of God.

EXIT POINT MATTERS

FAITH CAPSULE: Where and how to exit should be by the WAY.

John 14

How you live life by the word of God will determine when and where you exit to.
Without a doubt, there is no reasonable excuse to journey outside of the WAY, the right truth, to arrive at the presence of God. In John 14:6, the Word of God admonishes all, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  
Christ is the only WAY the truth of God. 
In the journey of life, many ways seem right, but not exit to the presence of God. Proverbs 14:12, 16:25 warns, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” (Proverbs 14:12).
Today, are you on the right WAY that is true, or journeying where it seems right? 
It is not about what you think or what seems right, but to know the truth that is always right. 
The Challenges will emerge on the path of truth, but you will overcome without compromise of the promise of a bright and expected end. The word encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19) 
For you, are the challenges of the right path overwhelming? 
The awesome God is more than able to see you through, and He has put in place deliverance plans that are beyond your imagination.
God is never in a rush but is a perfect timekeeper. 
Ecclesiastes testifies, “To everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven…” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
Today, there are distractions on the journey of life, but going, by the WAY, will not fail. 
Remain steadfast to avoid distractions that often lead to untimely termination.
In your journey of life, avoid traveling on the wrong path that seems right but can lead to the wrong destination.
Do not compromise the word of God with the signs of the world that is outside of God.
For instruction to arrive in His presence, allow the word of Psalm 32:8 to have a place in your heart as it states: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.”
In the journey of life, there is an exit time for every man on the highway of life, do not allow your existence to become corrupted. 
It is of little or no importance how long it takes to journey in life if you do not get fuel by the living word of God.
Get on the journey to keep on the right path, and have God as the pilot. 
He that goes in the Way of God always gets to the presence of God.
In your journey of life, make the right choice today, engage in the Way of God. 
Jesus is the Word of God, the truth, and the Way of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you in the journey of life not to miss His place after your exit from this world. 

THE WORD OF GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: See in what the Word of God speaks to you to receive what you see, to become of you.

Joshua 6

The Word of God is God.
The Bible speaks that, in the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John1:1)
The Word of God is sent for man to behold God in His Word, to see God.
The ability to listen to God in His word is what will make man behold (see) God for direction, to live life for God, and not to become wasted in the face of this wicked world.
Always remember that the Word of God is God. 
Without a doubt, when one listens to the Word of God, one must behold (see) the word of God and be built up with boldness and character.
The combination of boldness and character is a winning combination.
Boldness and character that is rooted in listening to see and be living life by the Word of God will make one a winner, a winner to the glory of God.
In the Word of God, there is a direction that never fails. 
For example, Joshua needed to behold (see) the word of God to gain boldness and character for winning over Jericho. 
Jericho posed as an enemy, with an attempt to stop Israelites advance to the Promised Land. Joshua 6:1-2 records the calling of Joshua to see (to behold) in the Word of God, “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.”  
See in what the Word of God speaks to you to receive what you see, to become of you.
Joshua moved by what he saw in the word of God for direction, against the enemy (the challenge of the Jericho wall). For Joshua, the Bible record the result of seeing and action according to the Word of God: “The wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. And they utterly destroyed all.” (Joshua 6:20-21)  
With listening, gain understanding to see in the Word of God, to address your challenge victoriously. 
Joshua listened; he was able to behold (to see) direction in the word of God as he gained character and boldness to become winner over Jericho. 
At all times, God wants all to see in Him (His word) to engage direction not to be a failure. 

Payer for today:
Ask that you will begin to receive, hear, and to see in the Living word of God for victory, not to be a victim of fear of the enemy with its attempt to deny you from moving forward in the plans of God for your life.
Ask that the Living word of God for direction to victory become activated in your life, to bring down flat every work of the enemy to fail in your life just as the WALL of Jericho of the enemy fell flat in the name of Jesus.

WHAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE?

FAITH CAPSULE: The lack of trust and hope is not acceptable before God.

Numbers 13

During the wilderness journey, the children of Israel could not trust and have hope to see in the word of God to take them to the Promised Land. 
They trust God to bring them out of the bondage of over four hundred years but had no hope to arrive at the plans and promise of God.
While the Israelites were at the Wilderness of Paran, waiting to move into the Canaan, God spoke to Moses to send men to spy out to the land of Canaan. (Numbers 13)
Moses sent out spies to the land of Canaan. 
The spies returned with a report and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless, the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.” (Numbers 13:27-29)
The spies reported with trust, mentioning the goodness of the land.
However, the report was without hope because of the fear of the people of the land. Numbers 13:31-33 states, “But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants), and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” 
The report of the spy lacks trust and hope in the deliverance of God.
The lack of trust and hope of the Israelites prompted fear that is not acceptable before God. 
Except for Joshua and Caleb, the Israelites complained, confessed negative before God.
God responded to the negative confession of the Israelites: Numbers 14:28-30, “As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above. Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in.”
Know and understand that God is not careless to deliver in His plans and promises when there is no full attention to the conditions to receive from Him. 
Give full attention to the word of God that says, blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is in the Lord. (Jeremiah 17:7)

Prayer for today: Ask God to locate you with trust and hope at all times.

SOUNDS LIKE YOURS?

FAITH CAPSULE: Do you have a dream, and yet every step is coming out negative? 

Genesis 37

A dream is also a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep. 
For the young Joseph, his dream was a revealing journey with no direction of engaging his journey dream. 
Joseph had a dream full of ups and downs but eventually arrived at his journey dream.
Joseph had a dream, “There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright, and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.” (Genesis 37:7) The dream of Joseph sounds positive but received with negative by his brothers.
Joseph, with no direction, he had to pass through.
Do you have a dream, and yet every step is coming out negative? 
For your dream to come through, you have to pass through before arrival. The Joseph dream at age seventeen did not come to manifestation until he was thirty years old. Joseph waited for thirteen years to have his dream come through. 
The Bible records that Israel loved Joseph more than all his children because he was the son of his old age. (Genesis 37:3) 
For his dream, he encountered hate; envy took a stand against him and to become lost from his base. 
Unknowingly, Joseph began the journey of his dream when he passed through the pit of lack and went into slavery before arriving at the land of his dream center of manifestation. 
Interestingly, his brothers were the agents of hate and evil that set to destroy or deny the dream of Joseph.
The brothers of Joseph were also unknowingly the ones that set to bring his dream to manifestation. 
Trust and hope in God for all your step to arrive at the center of your divine assignment. Know that agenda of wicked will not derail you regardless of the delay.
When a man proposes, God disposes.
God is the Almighty One, and there is none besides Him. 
As a believer of the living word of God, know this day that God sees all. Today, make it a point to be looking to God in all situations. 
Genesis 41:46 points out, “Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.” 
A dream of thirteen years of the journey seemed like an endless dream, but it came to manifest. 
Does your dream seem like no manifestation?
With God, nothing is impossible.
The journey that began at age seventeen of Joseph did not get him to the top until he was thirty years old. 
The timing of God is different from the timing of all. 
God does not keep to the timing of any man but keeps man in His own time. 
It does not matter how long it takes to crawl out of the pit, God, and only God will bring your dream to manifestation.

Prayer for today: Ask God to see you through at His appointed time for your life.
