FAITH CAPSULE: To walk worthy, living for God should be glaring.

Daniel 6

Are you living for God, walking worthily, but your world cannot see it in you?
Daniel is the evidence that lived a life of preparation by living for God.
Daniel experienced God and could not live a life of waste; he lived for God.
Daniel and his friends were exiles and captive servants rather than traditional domestic slaves.
They were forcibly taken from Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to serve the royal court.
Despite the challenges of life, Daniel lived a life, a kind of preparation to live for God; he walked worthily to gain the attention of God.
It was the desire for God that enabled Daniel to live for God.
WHAT DID DANIEL DO THAT DEMONSTRATED HE PREPARED TO LIVE FOR GOD BY HIS WAY OF LIFE?
Daniel 1:8 records of Daniel,“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs.” 
The record about Daniel is his way to prepare not to live outside of God.
Daniel did not defile himself, the evidence of giving regards to God.
A characteristic of one who gives regards to God is living for God, not becoming a victim of destruction.
Daniel focused on God. He did not defile himself before, but made it a way of living for God.
At one time, when Daniel was under judgment for serving his God.
In the midst of the sentence against him, he demonstrated as a believer of God prepared by way of living for God.
Daniel prepared for God, took time to call on God as a way of one who lives for God, not to be a victim of an untimely death.
Daniel 6:10 states, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.”
The life of Daniel is the preparation of one who lives life for God, seeking God diligently.
Living for God is seeking Him diligently.
Daniel lived for God and could not be a victim of the wicked world.
The Bible identifies the importance of the description of living for God, to walk worthy of His glory:
Daniel had a purposed heart to walk with God.
Daniel had a custom approach seeking God in prayer (three times a day) that is undeniable.
Living for God was glaring in the life of Daniel.
An unbelieving king identified that Daniel lived for God when the King testified that Daniel served God continually.
By the testimony about Daniel, living for God as a way of life, walking worthy before God, is possible for one who understands the will of God for all.

Prayer for today: Ask God to occupy your life so will live for God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Live life for God will walk worthy to the glory of God.

Colossians 1

Anyone living for God walks worthy before God.
Pray that in the new month God shall enable you to live for God.
To live for God is walking worthy to God.
Are you living for God, walking worthy before God?
Walk worth, living for God.
With desire, backed with determination, ask that God in His mercy enable you to begin to walk worthy for His will be activated in you.
Know how to walk worthy before God.
The prayer of Paul the Apostle testifies to the importance of walking worthily before God.
Colossians 1:9-10 records, “For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”
It is evident in the prayer of Paul the Apostle that to walk worthily demands having a ceaseless prayer.
Also, to be filled with the understanding and knowledge to walk worthy of the Lord.
HOW CAN ANYONE WITHOUT AN UNDERSTANDING KNOW WHY OR HOW TO LIVE FOR GOD
The word of God makes all know that God created all to EXIST (live) for Him.
Gain the understanding that all are to live (exist) for God.
Revelation 4:11 records to inform all, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.”
The will of God for all is to exist for His glory, honour, and power.
Lack of understanding will not know and to live (exist) for God.
Are you living for God?
Without understanding, one will not live for God, to see God, to find God.
Living for God by walking worth is like being built, not to live a wasted life or become a victim of the wicked world.
Determination is not enough to walk worthy of God.
For example, Peter derailed from walking worth of God.
When Jesus mentioned to him that he would deny Him he strogly decline that he will not deny Jesus.
Jesus prayed for him that he will not fail.
Peter deny Jesus but the prayer uphold him and was able to gain from the prayer of Jesus.
Peter was restored to live for God as the prayer answered for him.
Pray that the strength of God answers in your praying before Him, so that your prayers shall not cease.
Ask that God fill you with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual.
Ask God to enable you to walk worthily of Him.
Ask God for the understanding to live for God.
Ask that you live with the fear of God, giving regard to God.
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.

Prayer for today: Ask that it be your way of life, to give regards to God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Do not become a victim of the enticement of the devil. 

Luke 4

To see in the word of God will prompt understanding to know God.
To know God is not to know about God.
All should strive to gain understanding.
Without understanding, one cannot gain knowledge to live for God.
There is a need to understand, to know, and to avoid living a life of sin before God.
Understand and know that with sin, no one can see God.
Romans 3:23 warns about the devastation of sin, stating, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
One short of the glory of God is the evidence of one who is far from God and is set for destruction.
Understand and know how to see in the word of God, not to become a victim of sin that gains entrance into one.
Without seeing in the word of God, enticement will lead to sin.
The enemy of all is the master of deception that has been around long enough to draw one into the sin of destruction.
Jesus experienced the enticement by sin, by Satan, and could not become a failure just as Eve did.
Luke 4:1-4 documents the failure of the devil in his enticement of Jesus: “Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.”  
The enticement of the devil could not trap Jesus.
Focusing on every word of God is a key to avoiding sin before God.
Today, be warned and wise to know that if Jesus experienced enticement of the enemy, no man is above cunning devil with enticement activity to lure man into sin.
King David, a man after the heart of God, could not escape but fell for sin.
Samson was blessed with strength by God, but could not avoid sin in his life.
Samson was a miracle child, born with special instructions from God, but this was not an excuse to escape the device of enticement. 
The Bible documents in Judges 13:5, “For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” 
Samson ended up his life blinded because he could not see the instruction of God to deliver him. 
As strong as Samson was, he became a victim of the enticement of the enemy when he failed to obey according to the Word of God. 

Prayer for today: Pray that you will not become a victim of evil devices.

FAITH CAPSULE: Living by the word of God will not give way for ditracton.

Jonah 1,2

Any spirit identified as not of God is the business of the devil to derail and destroy one not to live for God.
Are you paying attention to what is not of God?
Attention will lead one to attend to the vices to destroy.
What is it holding you, giving attention to distract you?
Distraction is not God but the weapon of the devil.
Is your title the reliance that you count on not to become a victim of distraction?
Distraction will come from every angle to destroy the victim.
The word of God that is direction came for Jonah, “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, ‘Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.” (Jonah 1:1-3)
God spoke to Jonah, but he disobeyed.
Jonah was angry, not wanting salvation for the wicked of Nineveh, and became distracted, seeking judgment of God because he failed to see the salvation of God for the people of Nineveh. (Jonah 4)
Distraction is a silent destroyer of disobedience.
Whatever one withholds against the direction of God is evidence of distraction or disobedience to God.
With direction, God called Jonah and his family from destruction to deliverance.
God directed Lot and his wife not to look back on the trail of deliverance, but the wife of Lot looked back.
Distraction can be in the past to disallow arrival at the promised future by God.
Lot was focused, but his wife could not focus and kept looking back.
Looking back will not gain from looking forward, the evidence of distraction.
Abraham was a testimony who did not become a victim of distraction.
Genesis 22:2 records the direction of God for Abraham, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
Abraham obeys the direction of God.
Abraham obeyed with his heart to engage the burnt offering when the angel showed up to him and said,“Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
Abraham did not withhold against the direction to become a victim of distraction.
Abraham lived for God.
To live for God is to live for the Glory, honour, and power of God, the reason existing for the will of God. (Revelation 4:11)
In life, do not live as a victim of distraction from the promise of God.
Live life for God in all your endeavours, God is a merciful God that wait to act for those wait.

Prayer for today: Ask God that His mercy will deliver you not to become a victim of distraction.

FAITH CAPSULE: The agenda of distraction is to destroy.

Numbers 14

The spirit of distraction is not of God.
Strive to be awake, not to be a victim of distraction.
Give to the word of God to gain from the warning against distraction.
Colossians 1:28 records, “Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.”
Distraction is a destroyer with no respect for whom it attacks.
Distraction will not warn the victim of devices.
A victim of distraction does not arrive at the expected destination.
Distraction does not send a warning when it sets out to visit the victim.
Answering titles, religion, or ages will not be exempt from the spirit of distraction from visiting to delay or deny one.
Distraction attempted to tempt Jesus to deny Him in His journey of life.
When Jesus came out of fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry when the tempter came to Him, saying, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” Jesus responded, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)
Jesus avoided distraction, not looking away from the expectation of His purpose, waiting for forty days and forty nights.
Repeatedly, the spirit of distraction tempted Jesus to gain entrance, but it failed.
With the word of God, Jesus overcame the spirit of distraction.
Distraction did not exempt Jesus from its visitation.
Identify the distraction, and avoid being a victim of distraction.Distraction will derail the journey to the desired destination.
The children of Israel were out of the bondage of over four hundred years when distraction denied them from arriving at the Promised Land.
Distraction denied them the ability to live obediently to the word of God.
Confessing negligently before God prompts the repose of God.
Numbers 14:28-30 records the response of God to the complaint of Israel, stating, “Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above. Except for Caleb, the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in.”
The Israelites could not hold to the word of God but to their world, which is not able to deliver what God promised them.
When the word of God sounds with a promise, seeing in the word of God will be received; distraction will fail.
The Israelites did not see the promise of God in His word that promised the Promised Land.
Distraction derailed the Israelites, and they did not arrive at the promise of God.
Distraction is bound to blur the vision of one who does not see clearly in the spoken word of direction.

Prayer for today: Ask that you live for God and not be distracted from God.
