THE ORDER OF GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: Know to remind God to found Him.

Isaiah 43

The order of God, is the direction, directive, the demand of God in the journey of life for all, not to live a life of waste.
Living life outside of the order of God is the route of untimely death.
Hezekiah was out of order before God and set for an untimely death. He prayed to God for his deliverance, and God answered by sending the Prophet Isaiah to him for his restoration from death. (2 Kings 20:1-6)
Among the ORDER of God is: know to remind God.
Know to remind God:
God demand in Isaiah 43:25-26, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.”
God is true to His word if you will give self to the word of God.
Through the pages of the Bible, it is clear that God does not forget but expects all to remind Him.
He Is God that remembers.
God rained and, it flooded the world of Noah forty days and night.
God remembered Noah in the flood of water of sin and affliction and subsided.
Genesis 8:1 record, “Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.”
God waits to act for waiting on Him (Isaiah 64:4)
Ask, seek and Knock is the order of God for all not to be in disorder, it is the direction, directive, the demand of Jesus (Matthew 7:7)
Ask, seek, and knock is to Pray, watch while knock with expectation for manifestation.
Asking is waiting, and you should ask from Him according to His word.
King David was a man after the heart of God, and he knows to remind God. In Psalm 25:6-7, David says, “Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.”
Besides King David, Psalmist also reminds God in Psalm 106:4, saying, “Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation.” 
All should learn from the word of God to learn, know, and do, to claim the promise of God.

Pray for self and family 
Ask that flood of affliction that does not represent God in your life be subsided permanently in the name of Jesus.
Ask against the rain of affliction with an attempt to interrupt the calling of God in your life be ceased.
Ask God to remember you with favor, and visit you with salvation.

TO WATCH AND PRAY

FAITH CAPSULE: Live life in the order of God.

1 Kings 18

Another order of God that is His direction, directive, demand from all not to be a waste in living life is the word of Jesus that says, “WATCH AND PRAY”
There is no place where Jesus demand from all to pray but only demands from all to “WATCH AND PRAY”
A believer praying without watching or watching without praying is out of the ORDER of God and will miss the visitation of God to live in disorder.
Believers are Simple knows to pray but not watch as a Prudence one. Proverbs 14:15 describes them, “The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.”
Believer (simple) that pray but not watch is without PRUDENCE, and not in a position to be saved in trouble times. Proverbs 22:3 testifies, “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.” 
Prophet of God, Elijah demonstrates what it means to watch and pray.
Elijah prayed and watched for the rain to fall after he had prayed to cease rain. 
Elijah watched and prayed seven times so as not to miss the move of God for an answer.
1 Kings 18:42-44 documents Elijah’s praying and watching for rain, “And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, 43 and said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing.” And seven times he said, “Go again.” Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.”
Order in the Word of Jesus repeatedly states, 
Mark 13:33, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.” This for all us not to sleep to miss the coming back of God.”
Mark 14:38, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 
The importance of praying and watching documents in Luke 21:34-36 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
1 Peter 4:7, “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.”

Prayer for today: Ask from God to enable you to seek Him by watching and praying according to His word.
Ask that God will make you live in the order of His word.
Now, plead for the mercy of God to re-position you in His order.

BE IN ORDER

FAITH CAPSULE: In the word of God, get your self in order.

Numbers 20

The word of God is in order, and the word of God is consistently constant to bring orderliness to life.
Are you approaching life by keeping the order of God, not to fail?
In the word of God, there is no compromise to displace order with the disorder. 
From January till today, placing disorder in the place of the order will deliver a negative result. 
In life, nothing that is not good is bound to bring out no good. 
As an acclaimed believer of the word of God, there should not be an excuse to give self to disorder. 
If you have started the journey of the year in order, there is a need to maintain orderliness to experience a positive result. 
How did you start the year in order? 
Have you switched to disorder this year? 
If yes, you are bound to set outside of the purpose of God for your life.
With God in place as the leader, there should be order in place. 
Allow God to take the leadership of your life?
Psalm 32:8 encourages the promise in the word of God that says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” 
God waits to lead in the life of all that will give self to His leadership that is never by force but by choice.
God is God, and He is God that acts for those who wait for Him.
Today, in your journey of life, know it that the order of God is direction, like the password that will access all to a breakthrough in the journey of life. In life, challenges such as opposition, hindrance, confusion are inevitable, but giving self to the order of God is the overcoming way.
Walking in disorder will deny one from getting to the promise of God.
In life, no man is above giving to the order of God.
Once, Moses received an order from God but delivered it in disorder.
Numbers 20:8 records the order of God for Moses, “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.”  
Moses gave himself to disorder when he struck instead of speaking to the rock, and he called the people rebels. 
To be out of the order of God is to be out of direction to the promise of God. Moses was to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land but could not step into the Promised Land.
There is no status before God that will excuse for walking in disorder, outside of the order of God.
Today, place yourself in order in the word of God to reach the calling of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the mercy of God to keep you in place of order of God.

ALWAYS OBEY GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: Obedience to the word of God is not a choice but a must.

Deuteronomy 28

Today, make it a priority to give self to the word of God by living obediently according to God.
Deuteronomy 28 records the blessings of obedience and curses of disobedience to the voice of the Lord. 
The voice of the Lord only carries the word of God. 
The same word of God yesterday is the same word of God today and forever. 
In blessings, the word records, “…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. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 28:1-2) 
In curses, the word records, “If you do not carefully observe all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, THE LORD YOUR GOD, 59 then the Lord will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary plagues—great and prolonged plagues—and serious and prolonged sicknesses.” (Deuteronomy 28:58-59)
The point here is to obey the word of God.
What is it that provokes obeying the word of God?
The word of God points out that one that can observe the word of God will do accordingly not to disobey. 
God spoke to Joshua after the death of Moses and gave the insight of what it takes to know and obey the word stating, “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.” (Joshua 1:8)
Meditate the word of God day and night to be able to observe and do according to the word of God.  
All should be living life in obedience to the command of God.
Obedience to the word of God is not a choice but a must. A failure not to live life obediently is a passage to self-destruction.
Obeying the command of God is not just with the mouth. 
Likewise, fearing God is not just in fearing God with the tongue. 
God is not interested in lip-service. 
Without the fear of God, there will be no obedience to His word. 
Obedience and fear of God should be residing in the heart of all, but it should be a way of living life. 
Many claims to be obedient and to fear God but live outside of the word of God.
Those who hear the word of God by giving themselves to the word of God are the obedient ones to God. 
God is a good God.
God at all times does not hide, but it is the man that withdraws from His presence because of sin.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to be living life by His word.

KNOW IN TRUTH

FAITH CAPSULE: Get to know the truth about trust and hope in the Lord and be free.

Acts 16

The boldness and character of Paul and Silas were trust and hope in the truth of God, to live life for the glory of God.
When Paul commanded a spirit out of girl to affect the profit of the masters, Paul and Silas were seized and dragged to jail. (Acts 16:19)
While at midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God. As they sang, a great earthquake caused the foundations of the prison broken, and immediately all the doors were opened with everyone’s chains loosed. Paul and Silas did not flee but waited and spoke a word that gave salvation to the hearers and led a family to baptism. 
With trust comes a character, while with hope comes boldness. Paul and Silas demonstrated that they know the truth, and they were free from prison.
Without a doubt, the word of God is the truth. 
Indeed, the truth, the way, and life is one that cannot be separated.
Thomas, among the disciples of Jesus, said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way? Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:5-6)
Jesus is the word of God. 
Do you know the truth?
Are you abiding in the word? 
To abide in the word is to know the truth. 
Know the truth is the key, but knowing about completes not. 
Just like Paul and Silas, abide in the word, the evidence that you know the truth, to be free. (John 8:31-32)
In the wicked world, get to know the truth about trust and hope in the Lord and be free.
In this world, let trust and hope in the Lord be complete in you, the position to be blessed by God.
Jeremiah 17:7 buttresses, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is in the Lord.”
Are you claiming trust without hope?
Claiming trust in the Lord is not complete without claiming hope in Him. 
Do you trust and not hope? 
Trust is like a character hope is like confidence. Many trusts on God (they are active in church) and could hope that is the boldness to stand claim in God. 
Trust is like a character; Hope (confidence) is like boldness. 
Do you have trust and hope, boldness, and character? 
It is boldness and character that makes you free, a mark of a winner.
Saul trusted God, and he waited for seven days as commanded by Samuel. However, when all his people were scattered, he lost hope and had no confidence in the word of God by prophet Samuel. 
Saul trusted to wait but had no hope to stand, wait through for God, and could not be free but lost. (1 Samuel 13)  
As an acclaimed believer, with trust and hope, the truth of the word of God will make you free.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to grow in trust and hope in His word.
