FAITH CAPSULE There is power in agreement when God is the center of your fellowship.

Acts 12:1-19

The agreement is an act of agreeing; it is a state of being in accord. 
It is accord, compromise, compatible, consistency, complying, and reconciliation. 
Where the agreement exists, disagreement, dissent, disharmony, discord, disunity, dissimilarity, divorce does not exist. 
Are you in the fellowship of two, three, four, or many fellowships with the identity of agreement or disagreement? 
The roots of disagreement are lying, deception and manipulation. Agreement or disagreement is always the identity of the Christian body. 
As an acclaimed believer, where do you stand?
Is your fellowship rooted in the direction of God?
Is your fellowship building up like a Tower of Babel? 
When the people began to build the Tower of Babel, there was no agreement rooted in God. 
The people started with building outside of God; they wanted to build for self but not God. 
Building outside of your Creator is uncompromising, a disagreement with the only Creator. At the onset of building the Tower of Babel, the people state, “…Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:4) 
The people arrived to build babel without agreement with their Creator. God responds to the construction by the people, “…Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.” (Genesis 11:6)
What is the drive of your fellowship in an attempt to build?
Is it in the building for self or God?
In your fellowship, God, cannot be counted outside of our engagement.
A failure not to count on God in your engagement, disagreement will intervene to disarray, to bring down your fellowship engagement.
Take note that there is power in agreement when God is the center of your fellowship engagement. Jesus testifies to the power of fellowshipping, “…if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:19-20) 
The power of agreement is in coming together for the glory of God, not for self-glorification. 
In the name of Jesus, coming together in agreement is the manifestation power. 
Once, Peter was facing death like that of James, the brother of John that was killed by King Herod. 
There was no way out for Peter to escape the hand of Herod. The bible records, “And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.”(Acts 12:6)  Peter’s deliverance came through when “…prayer was offered to God for him by the church.” (Acts 12:5) The coming together of the church in agreement delivered Peter from an untimely death in the hand of King Herod. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver you from religion and place you into Christ’s reality.

FAITH CAPSULE: You shall know the truth.

Revelation 22

The most underrated good to adopt, to engage, and to accept is to know the truth. Knowing the truth to be a way of living life is so true, but too hardly acceptable.
In this wicked world of lies and disciples of telling lies are so far from accepting the truth.
Truth is easy to ignore it is not popular truth conveys to drive in the narrow but not on the broad lane which the majority takes to in the journey of life.
In this world that is hanging on deception and manipulation, the truth is not loud, but the truth is to know the truth.
In life, not knowing the truth is the same as twisting the truth.
The Bible records: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
How near are you to God, to be free from the wiles of this wicked world?
The determinant of how far you are or you are near to God is encased in how you accept the truth of God.
Truth is the way to live life for arrival to the divine assignment of God.
John 14:6 records, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” 
The truth of God is the way of God for all without exception.
The truth of God is not friendly in the world of wickedness.
The truth of God persists to be truthful in the place of lies that will not accommodate lies.
The truth of God is not friendly to become acceptable in the place where telling lies is suitable.
The truth of God is not comfortable where complications and confusion exits.
The truth of God is threatening.
When the truth is steady to expose lies, it will be mistaken for being slow by the world of deception. 
Truth is not for twisting and is not lies to be added or subtracted by the wicked world of continual evil.
By your word or by your action, are you adding or taking away from the word of God?
Revelation 22:18-19 warns, “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Twisting the word of God is adding or taking away from the word of God. 
Twisting the truth of God can be lying in the place of telling the truth. Twisting is evil that needs to be put away not to be part of the way of life in one. Deuteronomy 19:19 buttress, “…so you shall put away the evil from among you.” Acclaimed believers and unbelievers of the word of God are conversant to twist the truth of God, to DECEIVE, to STEAL, to MANIPULATE, to BEAR FALSE WITNESS, and to DEMONSTRATE INCONSISTENCY.

Prayer for today: Ask to live life by the truth of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Who is the inquisitor of your life?

Genesis 19

One that acts as an inquisitor of your life is possible not to be of God and can be the evidence of not having faith or having trust in your action that is rooted in God.
Inquisitor of your life can be unduly harsh, severe, or hostile.
Who is the inquisitor of your life?
God identifies Job as an integrity, blameless, and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil. (Job 2:3) The identification of Job by God was not an excuse for him not to experience inquisition from his wife, not talk of one from distance to his life. 
The inquisition of his wife was discouraging as she states, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” (Job 2:9) 
Imagine the pain of inquisition from the closest, not distance.
God saw Job as a man of integrity, but his wife saw him as a man that was wasting time by waiting on God. 
Are you engaging any challenge that is inviting inquisitors into your life? 
Is the inquisitor your closest one, or you become self-inquisitor to yourself without you knowing?
Who is the inquisitor discouraging your walk with God?
At the time of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot and his wife received the direction of God to escape destruction. Genesis 19:17 records, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” (Genesis 19:17) Just as they advanced on the route of escape, the wife of Lot could not obey the direction of God, but questioned God by her action of disobedient as she became terminated.
The wife of Lot acted as an inquisitor of God’s deliverance plan of escape. The Bible record that the wife of Lot looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19:26)
As a conscious or unconscious inquisitor of others or yourself, how are you responding to the challenges of life?
Often time, man allows the act of negative inquisitor to deny the blessing in place for life.
For example, Jesus did miracles on every ground but not so at His city of Nazareth. 
The people were inquisitors wanting to know the source of His wisdom and the work of His hand. In the eyes of His people, He was just the son of a carpenter, the mere son of Joseph and Mary. The Bible records the response of Jesus to the inquisition of His people: “But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house. He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.” (Mark 6:4-5) 
Will you desist from being inquisitor of God? 
The people of Nazareth failed to appreciate the anointing upon the life of the Anointed One. 
Be an appreciator of the doing of God in your life, and do not be an inquisitor to miss the blessing of God.

Prayer for today: Ask not to be an inquisitor or not to be a victim of the negative inquisition of this world.

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.

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.
