FAITH CAPSULE: Keeping the word of God will provoke heaven’s attention.

Proverbs 6

Knowing about God is not same as knowing God.
Knowing about God is engaging the word of God and not keeping the word of God.
Knowing God is engaging the word of God to be keeping. The word of God is like story to those who know about God while the word of God is secret to those who know God. The secret of God is not hidden from those who know Him. Knowing about God is not enough but knowing God counts.
Do you know about God or do you know God?
Many that dwell in the secret place of God and not abide in the secret (word) place of God are the same as those who know about God. However, those who dwell and abide in the secret place of God are those who know God.
To be dwelling and not abiding in the secret place of God does not keep Man. Also, engaging the word of God and not be keeping the word of God will fail man in the journey of this wicked world.
Among the marked identities in the life of ones that keeps the word of God are rooted in, “Do not do against what God does not want from man.” Proverbs 3:29-31 stated, “Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he dwells by you for safety’s sake. Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm. Do not envy the oppressor, and choose none of his ways” Keep the word of God by answering God to gain His attention.
Keeping the word of God will provoke heaven to be keeping one.
Keeping the word of God keeps man as upright that possesses secret counsel of God. Keeping the word of God keeps man from not experiencing the curse of God which is on the house of the wicked. The just and humble ones keep the word of God.
Word pointed out that God blesses the home of the just and God gives grace to the humble. Evidently, to be keeping the word of God is to be kept from experiencing shame. (Proverbs 3:32-35)
God is truthful to honor His word beyond the imagination of man while man takes far from receiving the word of God by not keeping to the word of God. Do not deceive yourself; do not be deceived by any force that is against the word of God. Truly engage the word of God that is live to keep because, “When you roam, they will lead you; when you sleep, they will keep you; and when you awake, they will speak with you.” (Proverbs 6:22) Knowing God is to be keeping the word of God by binding the word of God continually upon heart to have life more abundantly in this wicked world of darkness.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to know God not just to know about God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Do not doubt the word of God but be a keeper of the word of God.

Proverbs 3

Obviously, engaging the word of God is a source of living life abundantly. Jesus does not lie when He stated, “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”(John 10:10)   The word of God which Jesus brought for us is the instruction of God; the word of God is the law of God and it is the command of God. In life, the experiences for man with the choice to truly engage and keep the word of God are reflected through the bible pages.
Proverbs 3 recorded some of what becomes of man that engages the word of God to keep the word:
*Proverbs 3:2 stated, “…let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you.” Length of days, long life and peace belongs to man that keeps the word of God. There should be no man under heaven without desire to inherit the promises in the word of God. Engage and keep the word of God.
*In Proverbs 3:3, it is identified for ones that keep the word of God that mercy and truth should not be forsaken in the life of man that keeps the word of God.
*In this wicked world of darkness, favor and high esteem in the sight of God shall always be the portion of man that keeps the word of God. (Proverbs 3:4)
*Man that truly keep the word of God will know to trust God with all heart and not lean on self understands. (Proverbs 3:5)
*Making the choice of keeping the word of God is acknowledging God for His direction in one’s life. Proverbs 3:6 said it all. “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
*Keeping the word of God is having wisdom; to fear God and know to depart from evil. Proverbs 3:7 confirmed it, “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.”
*Ones that keep the word of God will experience the word of Proverbs 3:8 as it is written, “It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.”
*Keeping the word of God is gaining understanding to be honoring the Lord with possessions and with the first fruits of all increase. Honoring the Lord will surely result to having barns filled with plenty, and vats (containers) will overflow with new wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10) Indeed keep the word of God and His word will not return void to God but shall deliver fully to the glory of God.
Are you engaging the word of God to keep the word?
In this wicked world of darkness, listen; do not doubt the word of God but double check your ways of violating His word. Engage the word of God to keep the word of God in truth.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to be keeping His word every moment of life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Why not keep the word of God that is living and powerful?

John 1

The eternal word of God is in position for man to be engaged in the journey of life. The bible highlighted the word of God for man’s understanding, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.  In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1:1-5)
The bible identified what is about the Word: The Word of God was in the beginning; the Word of God was with God before creation; the word of God was God before creation; all things were made through the word; in the word was life; the word was light that shines in the darkness. Truly the word of God is the eternal word of God.
Without doubt, Jesus is the living word of God for any man that will make the choice to engage, to keep the word of God as a way of living the word of God in this wicked world of darkness.
The word of God is the instruction of God; the word of God is the law of God and it is the command of God.
The word of God is the light for man to navigate in this wicked world of darkness so as to arrive at the expected end. The bible recorded, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” (Psalm 107:20) Evidently, God sent His word for deliverance and preservation but not for decoration. John 10:10 recorded the word of Jesus; “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” God declared He sent His word and Jesus confirmed in His word as stated, “I have come” not that He is coming. He has come; He is here for our deliverance from destruction.
Knowing the word of God is to know that the word of God is power of God which is in place for man’s deliverance and preservation. However, just knowing about the word of God is never enough; knowing about the word of God is maintaining distance from God and not being exposed to the power of God. In this wicked world of darkness get to know the word of God by keeping the word of God and take to the confirmation of what the word of God is about in Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Every power that is encased in the word of God is available for every man with the choice of keeping the Word of God to live life abundantly as promised by Jesus.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of His word to overwhelm your ways.

FAITH CAPSULE: Word of God is the pass word for opening heaven to receive the hand of God.

Isaiah 55

Is there any that is truly engaged with the word and not receive from the hand of God for deliverance?
Any man that is engaged to the word and not experience the hand of God should sincerely check self. God does not lie or fail to deliver for those that truly engage to His word. As regard to eternal word of God, God declared, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11) The word of God is true, the word of is proven, the word of God shall not return void. Invariably, it is man that voids the word of God and not experience or receives from the move of the hand of God for deliverance.
In the ways of life, live by the word of God by seeking God in His word. Seeking the word of God is drawing the hand of God as recorded in Deuteronomy 4:29, “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.” Also, seek the word of God by meditating the word of God day and night. (Joshua 1:8) Those that are able to meditate the word of God day and night seeking God in His word shall be able to observe and do the word of God for undeniable answer. God is true with His word and He has magnified his name above all His name. (Psalm 138:2)
Man should take note of the fact that the word of God is a pass word that opens up heaven over the life of man that engages the word of God. Imagine and compare pass word which is the key for opening up computer or email as same as word of God which opens up heaven. When word is added or taken out of pass word, computer or email shall not be open. Just like computer, man should not add or take away from the word of God with expectation to receive answer from God.
From today, do not add or take away from the word of God as warned in Revelation 22:18-19, “ 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.”
The word of God is sent for our deliverance if we truly engage the word of God.

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

FAITH CAPSULE: Separate to God to avoid living outside of your divine assignment.

Genesis 32

The will of God for man is to serve God. God called the Israelites out of bondage to serve Him as it is written, “When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.” (Exodus 3:12) Serving God is worshiping God. Worshiping God is to be separated to God.
For man, the love of things of the world comes in between man and worshiping God. However, ones that separates self to be worshiping God will definitely abide in God. The book of 1 John 2:15-17 buttressed, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.  And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”
To be separated to God by worshiping God indeed grants access to God.
Seeing God is impossible where one is surrounded by the filth of this wicked world.Seeking (worshiping) God demands all of our being and those that are able to seek Him diligently shall be rewarded because He is a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently. (Hebrews 11:6)
Separation to God’s command is always a high order of worship and obedient to the word of God. Abraham separated self to God’s command when he answered to God’s calling to depart his country, his family and his father’s house to a land unknown to him.(Genesis 12:1-2) Abraham’s separation to the word of God was accounted to him for righteousness because it was evidence that he believed God. (Romans 4:3)
When man responds to the word of God by denying self-engagement to the love of world, open door of blessings shall answer to man.
Worshiping God is separation to God.
Separation to God is the avenue which leads to assessing and possessing God’s blessing.
Just like Abraham, Jacob (the son Abraham) encountered and entered into his divine assignment because he separated from his family and all his possession.
It is written, “And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.  He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had. Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.” (Genesis 32:22-24)
Until Jacob was completely separated from all, God did not engage him for the change of his name to Israel. By virtue of Jacob’s separation, God enabled him to live in the center of his life assignment. Be separated to God; live life for God so as to be fully established for His glory.
