FAITH CAPSULE: Give regard to God to know to avoid destruction but to claim His promise. 

Isaiah 5

Does word sound like you? 
One that disregards the word of God does not regard God and will rebel against God consciously or unconsciously, which is the evidence of not knowing God and not considers God.
One that does not regard God is as one that is laden (loaded, burdened) with iniquity (sin, evildoers). 
One with no regard for God has forsaken God, to provoke God, and such become backward. Avoid backwardness to be your portion.
Get to know God, gain the knowledge to be having an edge in your ways of life.
One with the lack of knowledge is with an assurance to enter in the way that leads to captivity. Isaiah 5:13 confirms, “Therefore my people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished (wanting, lacking), and their multitude dried up with thirst.”
Without a doubt, one that gives regard to the work of God will not be a victim of captivity.
Walking in line with the word of God is giving regard to God to gain the deliverance and protection of God.
Through the pages of the Bible, God orders for mark upon those that walk with Him not to be a victim of evil occurrence. Ezekiel 9:4 records, the order of God, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
If you are one that is giving regard to God, crying out against the wicked world, God will mark you for deliverance and preservation.
Mark of God is also the seal of God, commanded by God to be placed upon ones He set aside for deliverance and preservation. Revelation 7:2-3, “Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
Also, God commands in Revelation 9:4 for seal, “They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.”
God is aware of ones with His seal to be sealed not to become a victim of captivity.
His word will not return void to Him. God promises all to remind Him as Isaiah 43:26 records, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.”  
Give regard to the word of God, know to remind God claiming His word of promise for deliverance.

Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to mark you and seal you for your deliverance continually.

FAITH CAPSULE: Boasting of God should be the evidence of knowing God.

1 Samuel 17

One can only boast in whom one knows. 
Boasting one you do not know is a demonstration of an empty barrel making noise. 
In your life, what or who is it that you know for sure is worth of all-day to be boasting? 
The Psalmist testifies, “In God, we boast all day long…” (Psalm 44:8) 
In this life, there is no enough exaggeration to be boasting God.
Boasting God is giving regard to God. 
God is the One and only almighty God, is the great I AM, He is worthy of all-day boasting.
Boasting of God is giving attention to God. 
Boasting God will also gain attention from God. 
Boasting of God is announcing that with God, all things are possible. Boasting of God is rooted in boldness to look in the face of even opposition to Goliath. 
Boasting of God should be a way of life, and not only boasting when there is a confronting challenge. 
Boasting of God should be a constant engagement to gain the attention of God.
Boasting an understanding of God from the heart, and not from the mouth will experience boost from the presence of God. 
Boasting God all day long will boost up one where others are grounded. Indeed, know to boast God all day long.
The armies of the children Israel and their God experienced verbal abuse by Goliath, the leader of the Philistine.
In response to the abuse of the Goliath, the Israelites became emotionally and physically grounded before Goliath and the Philistines.
Are you experiencing abuse in the face of your enemy?
Fear to over the Israelites as Goliath stood to boast of his strength stating, “…Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.” And the Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.” (1 Samuel 17:8-10)
When David got to the battleground, he responded to Goliath by boasting his own God say, “…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…” (1 Samuel 17:45-46) 
Know your God, boast in Him all day long, and He will boost you over your Goliath.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to know Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: Labor the word of God to deny doubt in your thought or action.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14

Doubting is the avenue to self-destruction. 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.”  
With patient, living by the word of God will terminate struggle or challenge in any area of life. Psalm 34:19 buttresses, “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 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 yourself to the word of God to deny doubt in your thought or action.
Word is indeed living, powerful, and sharper to terminate challenges to the glory of God.
Will you give yourself to the word of God to convert your challenge of mockery to a miracle?
The Bible records the word of God, “Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” (Jeremiah 23:29) God is true to His word for all that will take to Him. 
Why do you allow 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.  
Turn 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 yourself do the word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to open your ears of understanding against doubt.

FAITH CAPSULE: To be in worrying is to be out of worshipping God.

Mathew 6:25-34

A failure not to give regard to God will pass on to worrying instead of knowing to worship God.
The Lord Jesus is the provider that meets the needs and to give life abundantly. 
He came to take away worrying, but the enemy is in the business to put worrying in place for all to remain worrying.
To be in worrying is to be out of worshipping God. 
Jesus warns against worrying, stating the reasons not to worry, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin.” (Mathew 6:25-28) 
Why worry when Jesus specifically encourages man not to worry? 
Apostle Paul buttresses the word of God when he states in Philippians 4:19, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” 
God is more than capable and shall supply all your needs. 
He alone is the Almighty God, and nothing is impossible for Him to do.
The word does not promise the supply of needs based on your power or strength, but needs shall be in place for you according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Why not give regard to the living God and know to worship Him instead of worrying? 
Many meditate on the promise of God in the mouth but not meditate in mind. 
With meditating, the word of God in mind, the power of God will answer. However, when doubt is activated, the inability to wait on the promise of the word of God provokes worrying. 
Worrying can be a reason for a wrong answer, and the worrying one to react negatively in the face of a challenge. 
In the place of worrying, Jesus admonishes His disciples on how to respond to challenges of the end time, “But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.” (Mark 13:11) 
The word of God for disciples also speaks to all that knows to give regards to God continually. At all times of challenges, give God regards in His words to have worrying subsided.

Prayer for today: Ask God for deliverance from the spirit of doubt and worry.

FAITH CAPSULE: Without a doubt, the act of knowing is the way out of captivity. 

Psalm 145

Fear God, give regard to God more than ever.
Know God to say yes to God that is able and in place for you in all challenges. 
Also, you need to know God with unfailing trust and hope to say no and not be saying yes when impossibility sounds in your direction. 
Give regard to God that gives possibility over impossibility.
Giving regards to God is rooted in knowledge not to become a victim of captivity.
Do you know God not just to know about God?
Get to know God, gain the knowledge to be having an edge in ways of life.
One with the lack of knowledge is with an assurance to enter in the way that leads to captivity. Isaiah 5:13 confirms, “Therefore my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.”
Without a doubt, the act of knowing is the way out of captivity. 
For example, giving regards to the work of God is with the consideration for His works and not misplace knowledge of God that keeps one from captivity. 
In life, Isaiah 5:12 clearly states the reason why the lack of knowledge drives to captivity, “…But they do not regard the work of the LORD, nor consider the operation of His hands.”  
Psalmist also confirmed that a failure not to give regard to the work of God destroys as it states, “Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them and not build them up.” (Psalm 28:5) 
Give regards to God, know to avoid captivity, the way of destruction, and not be built for God.
Giving regards to God is consciously paying attention to the operation of the hand of God. Meditating on the word of God is the meditation of the word of God that creates all His work. 
Meditation is not memorizing the word of God in the head. 
Meditation is working the word of God laboriously in the heart day and night. 
As a desire for the knowledge to be regarding the work of God and not be a victim of captivity, allow mediation of the word of God to become your way of living life.
Regarding the word of God is looking closely or attentively to observe steadily, to hold in awe (reverence, fear, wonder, respect) to look upon or consider in a specified way.
Give regards to the wondrous works of God which declare His name as near to us. Psalm 75:1 testifies, “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.” 
Why not begin to give regards to the works of His hand to gain and maintain the fear of God that keeps one from any form of captivity? 
Give regard to God more than ever, gain the knowledge not to become a victim of the challenges of today.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you giving Him regards.
