FAITH CAPSULE: Are you giving all to the word of God?

2 Timothy 3

God gave it all to all man not to become a victim of the wicked but to live life abundantly to the glory of God. John 10:10 records it, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”Are you giving all to the word of God not to become a victim of the thief, the wicked one?
The word of God declares in Genesis 6:5, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
Are you giving attention to be searching for yourself not to live life as a wicked one before God?
With no exception, God has given ALL, His word to accept by learning His word not to be a wicked one but to live life abundantly for His glory.
God, in His word, He has given to all what it takes to live life, to be complete before Him.
 2 Timothy 3:16-17 records, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
God has given Himself to all in His word.
Accepting God’s word is giving self to God’s word as a way of life.
Have you been giving yourself to the word of God that is profitable for living life?
Are you learning from the word of God the source of having hope of God in this wicked world?
Romans 15:4 points out, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope”
Give self to the word of God, the wisdom of God, to learn the word of God, to gain understanding and knowledge not to become a victim of the wicked world.
The word of God is the wisdom of God for all.
The wisdom of God is Jesus Christ for us. 1 Corinthians 1:30 records, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.” 
Give yourself to learning the word of God!
Are you a wicked one that is living life outside of the word of God?
Jeremiah 12:1-2 identifies the wicked, “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.”
The wicked ones have the word of God in the mouth but far from the mind.
Give self to God’s word to avoid the thief, the wicked one!

Prayer for today: Ask God for His word to be established in your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Living life only counts for those with the fear of God.

Psalm 34

The book of Psalm 64:9 records, “All men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider His doing.”
Do you fear God as commanded by the word of God? 
Does your fear of God reflect the life you are living? 
Proverbs 19:23, “The fear of the LORD leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction; he will not be visited with evil.” Fearing God should not be a one-time engagement but a continuous way of living life. 
It is wisdom to know and be living life in the fear of God. 
The Psalmist points out that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10). 
Samuel spelled out clearly in 1 Samuel 12:24, “Only fear the LORD and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.”Joshua 24:14 admonished, “Now, therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth…” 
When there is fear of God in the life of a man, there will be every reason to serve Him in truth with the whole heart. Any believer that is serving God with conscious of all the great work the Lord has done will live life with the understanding that indeed there is nothing God cannot do.
Can you think of what God cannot do?
It is foolishness to give up on God for what God can do.
Fear God and have in the heart that it is wisdom to know God. 
Not to fear God, and have in the heart that it is wisdom to know God is foolishness. 
Psalm 14:1 record, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’. They are corrupt, they have abominable works, there is none who does good.’” 
Where do you stand?
Do you fear Him in the mouth or do you fear God in your heart?
To truly fear God is a treasure. 
To fear God is taking a position of no distance from God. Psalm 103:11 buttressed, “For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him.”
It is a grace of God to be alive. 
Also, living life is not a right but a privilege of God. 
It is wisdom to know that in living life there is nothing that counts most but to fear God. The book of Ecclesiastes concludes with a clear warning stating, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
Fear God to draw you to God that is never far but near to all His creation.

Prayer for today: Ask for the fear of God to be your garment.

FAITH CAPSULE: In your prayer, always expect for manifestation.

1Peters 4

Are you watching and praying with expectation for manifestation?
Having expectations for manifestation is the evidence of having faith.
In your watching and praying, let your faith for expectation and manifestation be activated, to provoke the move of God for your favor.
Expect for manifestation: 
Jesus, in His word, did not command all to pray but repeatedly command all to watch and pray. The Bible records, “Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41)
“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.” (Mark 13:33)
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.” (Luke 21:36) 
Disciples of Jesus request from all to watch and pray in Ephesians 6:18, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.” 
“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers.” (1 Peters 4:7)
The expectation for manifestation is the evidence of those who watch and pray, as commanded in the word of God, for all man.
To watch and pray before God is expecting with manifestation from God.
With watching and praying, heaven opened up for Jesus and His expectation for manifestation made Him have an encounter with God’s word, at opened heaven.
Bible records, “When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You, I am well pleased.” (Luke 3:21-22)
Jesus watched at His prayer to see opened heaven, and to see a dove in the form of the Holy Spirit that descended with a voice from heaven. 
Will you give yourself to be watching and praying, expecting the manifestation of your prayer? 
Once, a group prayed for rainfall to fall where rainfall has ceased.
As the rain fell, the group could not move forward, they were stagnated because the group prayed with no expectation for the rain to fall.
Interestingly, the youngest among the group was the only one with the expectation to experience manifestation for the prayer to have rainfall. 
Praying without watching is evidence of the lack of expectation for manifestation.
Are you praying without watching?
Praying without watching is not complete as commanded by the word of God for all to watch and pray. 
For self-deliverance, pray continually with understanding to experience opened heaven, watch and pray before God with expectation and manifestation to experience God’s doing in your life.

Prayer for today: Ask God to remember you with favor and to visit you with salvation.

FAITH CAPSULE: What is the place of watching and praying to rule your world?

Matthew 6

Start with a prayer: Ask for God’s mercy over your life that every step you have taken outside of God shall not deny your access to stand before God today.
Also, know to pray for His word to be established in your life this hour, in the name of Jesus.
Psalm 107:20 records, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
Pray, ask that the word of God that is healing, deliverance, and preservation will be established in you that you live life for the glory of God.
The evidence of living life to the glory of God is your spiritual empowerment, which is the place of watching and praying for you to rule your world.
What is the place of watching and praying to rule your world?
The place of watching and praying is to:
Pray with understanding.
Pray continually.
Pray with understanding:
Praying with understanding is seeking God to find Him.
The word of God specifically admonishes for understanding when seeking God. Psalm 47:7 records, “For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with understanding.”
Praising God demands to understand, so is praying or thanking also demands to understand.
Jesus at the time of His parables, He wanted to know if there is understanding saying, “…Are you also still without understanding?” (Matthew 15:16)
The importance of having an understanding is the reason that “The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.” (Psalm 14:2)
Are you praying with understanding to know that your prayer is not wasting your time but it is your time of waiting on God that waits to act for those who wait on Him?
Pray continually:
There is no man with the exception not to be praying to God continually.
Psalm 72:15 records, “…Prayer also will be made for Him continually, and daily He shall be praised.” The word of God speaks to one speaks to all and God should be praised continually speaks to all.
Praying to God continually is a sacrifice that demands giving self to God without excuse for not praying continually. Acts 6:4 records, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 buttresses, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Are you engaging in prayer continually with mindful of God, to find God?
In your watching and praying, let your faith for expectation and manifestation be activated, to provoke the move of God for your favor.

Prayer for today:
Ask for the grace of God, to increase your strength on the altar of prayer.
Ask that the open door of the goodness of God in your life shall not be accessible for any evil force, in Jesus’ name.

FAITH CAPSULE: Adam and Evil could not obey God’s command to avoid shame.

Genesis 2, 3

Shame that is rooted in sin against the word of God can impact the whole path of a person’s life not to arrive at God’s divine assignment in life, for the glory of God.
Shame, disgrace, embarrassment is not a place for a child of God. Shame is a product of sin which makes a man not to show face or makes man hide from taking a stand on a God-given ground. God gave Adam and Eve every good to make life answered as liveable in peace and not be exposed to wickedness. 
God gave His command to Adam for a way not to arrive at shame when He said, “…Of every tree of the garden, you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:16-17) However, Adam and Eve violated the command of God that was put in place to retain God-given ground. Adam and Eve gave to temptation by eating from forbidden which God commanded them not to eat. 
God has given what is good to all, in His given there no shame for obedient ones. The Obedient in His command is to live life with honor not to be dishonored. 
Are you obedient to His command to avoid shame?
The devil approached Adam and Eve, “And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’” Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:1-5) The temptation of the devil was the interaction for Adam and Eve to violate God. 
Adam and Eve violated God’s word and took a position in the world of sin.
Every thought or interaction against the word of God can be through a negative meditation or direct interaction with the agenda of the devil. Which negative thought or interaction against the word of God are you engaging that is against God?
Adam and Evil could not obey God’s command to avoid shame.
Bible records, “And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself.” (Genesis 3:8-10)
Adam and Eve were ashamed as fear, nakedness caused them to hid from God. 
Given self, to hiding at God-given ground is the evidence of shame.

Prayer for today: Ask for God’s mercy to keep you from shame.
