FAITH CAPSULE: Wicked ones do not remember that God oversees heaven and earth affairs.

Genesis 37, 39

The word of God is true as stated, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9) Brothers of Joseph took an evil position against their brother Joseph. Genesis 37:18-20 records the statement of the brothers of Joseph towards Joseph, “Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him. Then they said to one another, “Look, this dreamer is coming! Come, therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ We shall see what will become of his dreams!”
Brothers of Joseph turned out to become enemy with a wicked agenda against Joseph’s dream.
Often, wicked ones do not remember that God oversees heaven and earth affairs and absolutely, nothing is hidden from God, He alone sees the acts of evil.
Are you with evil agenda with the expectation to hide your evil from God?
It is important to know that God will not overlook every evil agenda and activities of all. Ecclesiastes 8:11 records for all man’s understanding that God is not asleep from His judgment against the evil of all, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
Are you with evil agenda like Joseph’s brothers?
The story of Joseph points out that when a man is set up by God to live for the glory of God, the enemy will also set up to offset God’s purpose in the life of man. However, God will not fail for His own just like Joseph. It is written, “The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man, and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand. So Joseph found favor in his sight and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.”(Genesis 39:2- 4) Truly, God was with Joseph because the enemy chose to be against him. The enemy wanted to deny him to live to the fulfillment of God’s purpose.
Is there an evil agenda against your life that you know or unknown?
Today, with understanding, know that God’s hand is not short to deliver you from evil agenda if you will walk in His word.
The word of God identifies that the Lord was with Joseph and there was mercy, favor, prosperity, success, and authority in place in the life of Joseph. When God is with man, no evil can be against a man that walks in the word of God.
Joseph’s fear of God was the evidence of his walk in God’s word. The book of Proverbs 14:27 records, “The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death.”
Having the fear of God will not fail to turn around the intent of the enemy to good.

Prayer for today: Ask for God’s fear to overtake your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: What you desire will be deposited in your life.

Psalm 27

Having life is not of right but a privilege of God.
Your God-given right is to wish and live life for the glory of God, the giver, and taker of life.
Living life is a journey.
In your journey of life, let your wish be your desire.
Desire is to express a wish to obtain.
Desire is a strong feeling that compels to attain what heart set up for.
As a believer, what do you desire?
Do you desire to be a churchgoer believer or to be a believer with sincere for God?
One that desires to live heaven on the earth will seek after the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Jesus declares it, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)
The whole matter that counts and work perfectly in life is to 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)
To fear God and to keep His command is to desire to seek God. Listen to word that stated about fear of God and heart, “Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.” (1 Samuel 12:24)
Does your heart sincerely desire to seek God?
Do you question yourself if you are serving God in truth with all your heart?
God has done so great and He is doing greater things that man should have the desire of God with heart.
God only sees and moves by the act rooted in the heart. God once corrected Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7) Without doubt, David’s heart is what God saw when His word declared, “…The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people” (1 Samuel 13:14) God sought David and saw that his heart desires for His name.
What do you desire?
The desire for God must be in place in man’s life not only in the mouth of the word. When a man desires for God, God will deposit the grace to desire Him. In life, desire, devote and seek God with your heart.
King David knows what is best to desire when he stated, “One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple.” (Psalm 27:4)
As an acclaimed believer, think if you sincerely desire of the Lord.

Prayer for today: Ask from God to live life for His glory.

FAITH CAPSULE: One that waits on God seek God diligently to FIND God.

Hebrews 11

God is always near to be found by anyone that gives self to dwell and abide in Him. The evidence of God’s nearness to all is that He acts for those that wait for Him. Isaiah 64:4 testifies, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
Are you waiting on God to experience that He is near?
One that waits on God seek God diligently to FIND God.
With faith, seeking God diligently will please God.
Hebrews 11:6 buttressed, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
The purpose to Seek God diligently is to find God. Deuteronomy 4:29 points it out, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Seeking God diligently to find God is serving God. Serving God is living life for God. Living life for God will follow all that is right.
Seeking God diligently to FIND HIM is following righteousness as pointed in Isaiah 51:1, “Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the Lord…” With the wickedness of the world, give ear to hear and have a heart occupied by His word.
Seeking God diligently by serving Him is following Him with no hidden agenda, He knows all man. Word of God demands and declare what it means to follow Him in John 12:26, “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.”
Will you give yourself to seeking God diligently to find God?
Believe it and know that if it is not possible to seek God diligently to find, He would not have asked us to seek Him diligently.
One that follows God is not possible to walk in darkness. John 8:12 records, “He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.”
Seeking God with heart and soul is to disallow seeking God unpleasingly.
Seek God diligently is fulfilling God’s required condition to FIND God.
Keeping God’s command is not chasing after world activities.
Keep God’s word to do as commanded in God’s word and to live life for God’s glory.
God’s command states, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” (Deuteronomy 4:29) “You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.” (Deuteronomy 6:17)
God is a good God.
It is the responsibility of man to seek God diligently, to find Him and live life for the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to keep you in line with His word of deliverance to live life for His glory.

FAITH CAPSULE: What you do not understand will not work for you.

Psalm 139

Lack of understanding is the evidence of not having a knowing edge (Knowledge)
One the ack understanding is with the lack of knowledge.
The book of Hosea 6:4 speaks to all, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
Are you claiming God and not know Him?
One that does not know God but only knows about God is not living life by the word of God because there is no understanding, the evidence of the lack of knowledge.
With understanding, knowing God will give self to seeking God diligently.
Are you seeking God casually?
Are you pleasing self instead of pleasing God in your service to God?
Prayerfully, ask God to prompt your understanding, to fill you with the knowledge of His word.
From today, begin to know the reasons why God should be known.
Among reasons to seek Him diligently is to know Him not to only know about Him.
Seek God diligently in His Word the source of faith to trust and hope in God.
ALL MAN SHOULD TRUST AND HOPE IN GOD
Jeremiah 17:7, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” Seek God diligently to know Him, trusting and hoping in Him at all time.
HE KNOWS ALL BY NAME
Isaiah 43:1 buttressed, “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.”  The knowing of all by God is the to seek Him, to know Him and gain His presence. God’s word points it out that all belong to Him and should approach Him boldly, expectantly as God that cares.
HE KNOWS ALL BY NAME
Isaiah 43:1 buttressed, “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.” God knows all, why not seek Him to know Him and gain His presence. God said that we are His, why not approach Him boldly, expectantly as His? HE WILL FIGHT FOR US
Seek God diligently for Him to fight on your behalf in the physical or spiritual battle. Exodus 14:14 encourages all that will know that: “The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
HE THINKS ABOUT YOU
God is a precious father whose thought sets on the man while the walks of man are outside of His word. Psalm 139:17 stated, “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!”
Jeremiah 29:11 also testifies that God is good to man, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Prayer for today: Ask to let Him know that you want to know Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: Give no regard to fool that tells you to be regretful for living life for God

Psalm 37

The creation of all by God is to live life for His glory.
As the Lord God’s creation, you must live life according to His will.
With mockery, fool of this world will question you, “In your journey of life, how long will it take you to be established for God’s glory in your answering to His calling? The best answer for a fool is to state, “The far you have come in the journey of life, by God’s grace is the priority that is prompting you to give glory to God.” Giving God to God is the evidence of one that thinks. Thinking of God’s doing is the root of thanking God continually, the character of one that is mindful of God.
The enemy is the orchestrator of the foolish question to discourage all from living life for God’s will. The word of God in Psalm 14:1 identifies fool, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.”
Is there any question to discourage your faith in God’s calling over your life?
Are you in a position of regret for living life for God?
When a fool tells you to be regretful for living life for God, your response should be that you only regret for not haven’t been living life for God earlier than when you started answering to God’s calling.
God can make and un-make, He alone is the unchanging changer, He alone will reverse the irreversible.
You did not create yourself. Your journey of life is the calling of God which is your only creator.
Your calling by God for His divine assignment will come as a process for His purpose over your life. In His calling, if you are not connected to God continually with your concentration on God’s calling, you are set for failure.
In your God’s calling, dwell and abide in His direction, the evidence of concentrating on God’s calling.
God has a calling for all man with a different assignment.God created all for His purpose, for His glory.
God’s word confirmed that our Lord God is worthy to receive glory and honor and power. He created all things to exist for His glory. (Revelations 4:11) Whatever God calls you for, or when He calls you for His purpose, to send you will mark you as a candidate for His blessing.
His calling will break you at the initial stage of calling but will no doubt turn to God’s blessing when obedient is in place.
The ones He breaks are meant to be blessed.
His breaking comes along with His blessing.
In the time of His calling, He will never leave you broken if you answer His calling faithfully.
Psalm 37:14, “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.” Give self to God’s word.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to continually disregard the fools in your way.
