FAITH CAPSULE: All should desire to strive for the entrance of the word of God.

Exodus 16

Faith is described as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).
Faith has a source.
The Bible emphasizes the source of faith as stated,“…faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17).
Take to mind that the word of God which comes can also cease from coming when there is disengagement from hearing the word of God.
Are you hearing but not listening?
In this loud, wicked world, hearing but not listening to the word shall result in not giving attention to the word of God.
Loud going far or around is an earshot of the evidence of not hearing.
Word of God that gains entrance into man is the evidence of gaining faith.
All should desire to strive for the entrance of the word of God.
Allow the entrance of the word of God.
Psalm 119:130 records, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Constantly engage the word of God to enter, and you grow in faith, able to please God.
Hebrews 11:6 states, “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.”
Without a doubt, faith drives one to live by the word of God. Habakkuk 2:4 buttress, “…the just shall live by his faith.” All that pertains to living life is encased to live by the word of God (living by faith). The word states, we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7); we watch, stand by faith (1 Corinthians 16:13); faith purifies the heart (Acts 15:9); we are saved by faith through grace (Ephesians 2:8). The word of God which is the source of faith answers to all area of living life.
Do you have faith? The word of God is proven; the word of God is the source of faith to live abundantly in the wicked world.
Jesus confirmed the need to live by the word of God when He quoted from Deuteronomy 8:3, “…man shall not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.” (Matthew 4:4)
With challenges, the Israelites came out of the bondage of over four hundred years just by the word of God through Moses.
At a point of challenges, they complained about the lack of pots of meat and bread to the full.
God responded, “…Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you…” (Exodus 16:4)
God rained bread by the word of His mouth, not bread from the oven bakery, for the need of the Israelites.
In your challenges, have faith and not doubt; Live by faith, not sight.

Prayer for today: Ask that you be enabled to live by the word of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Wait on God by asking Him to remember you.

Genesis 8

God is a good God.
Power belongs unto God alone.
He is a perfect God who created all without partiality in His doing.
Job 34:19 testifies, “Yet He is not partial to princes, Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; For they are all the work of His hands.”
Romans 2:11 states, “For there is no partiality with God.”
God has brought you this far by His goodness and mercy, not because you know how to live.
God remembers all and does not forget no one.
By His will, all exist and were created. (Revelation 4:11)
With rampant sin among His creation, He did not fail to remember them for deliverance from the consequences of their sin.
The remembrance of Noah at the time of the flood testifies that God remembers and does not forget.
Genesis 7:17 “Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth…”
God remembered Noah, and the water of destruction subsided.
Genesis 8:1 “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 cares to remember His creation.
Are you with expectations all year with no manifestation?
Day after day, week after week, month after month with no expectation is not evidence God does not remember you.
Keep in mind God REMEMBERS all at all times.
For yet to gain your expectation is not late before God.
Time belongs to God.
Clock belongs to the world that cannot intimidate God to move out of His time.
With this understanding, wait on God.
Trust and hope, the character to wait on God is not of the mouth but of the heart.
Have trust and hope to gain the blessing of God in His remembrance.
With the trust to call on God but lack hope because of doubt denies blessings of God.
With a trusted call on God, avoid confessing negative expectations that demonstrate a lack of hope.
Trust with hope should patiently wait on God to provoke the blessings of God.
Jeremiah 17:7 testifies, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.”
Ask to be enabled to trust and hope, waiting to gain from God remembering you.
Wait on God by asking Him to remember you.
God is not talkative and wants all to ask, seek, or knock to get an opening, evidence God remembers. (Matthew 7:7)
Mind you, God creates all.
He does not forget but remembers one who knows to remind Him.
Are you having any case or an issue before God to remember you?
The word of God encourages all, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.” (Isaiah 43:26)
God does not ignore the call of His creation.
Do not stop to call on God to remember you.

Prayer for today: Ask God to remember you and deliver you from all that is not His name in your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: The One that calls you will move you forward with the power to move for God.

Mark 6:7-13

The expectation of answering to the calling of God demands not to withhold anything before God.
Living is to answer fully for God.
Answer the calling of God fully, not just flow as a crowd.
His calling comes at His appointed time.
In life, no man decides the time of His calling.
Among the disciples of Jesus, none called himself, but Jesus called everyone.
Mark 1:16-18 records, “As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him.”
Without a doubt, the disciples were not prepared when called but turned to the calling without turning away from Jesus.
Has He called you when you are not ready?
His calling requires leaving all behind to give Him all the required attention.
Has He called you with the old baggage not hanging around you?
In His calling, old things must be left behind to allow new things to have a place to stay.
Mark 6:7-9 records, “And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts-but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.” (Mark 6:7-9)
One ready to move away from the past shall move into new things.
The One that calls you will move you forward with the power to move for God.
Above all, the One that calls you did not call you into religion but into the reality of Christ.
Know that the calling of God is a time to be sent out.
He that calls you will not send you until you have been equipped with all it takes to carry His power.
Did He call you and not place a calling by yourself?
In answer to His calling, commitment must take the place of convenience.
When commitment kicks in, one must be ready for a journey but not a jolly ride.
Without His calling and you answering, sending out will not come forth.
What is holding you from turning aside and making yourself available for His calling?
In the calling of God, power shall be given to ride over the world of material.
Give up all unto Jesus by answering fully to His calling.
The word of God assures that “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
Fully answering to the calling of God demands giving up all before Him.

Prayer for today: Ask that the things of the past in your life shall subside for the news of God for God in your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: God wants all to answer His calling.

Exodus 13

No created one belongs to none but belongs to God Almighty.
God created all as Revelation 4:11 mentions, “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.” 
It is a privilege of God to be alive. 
The privilege of God to be alive is with the purpose of God.
The purpose of God defines His calling assignment over your life.
The calling assignment of God for all is different and not the same.
Every calling of God comes with the expectation that all will arrive at the assignment of God.
Do you know the calling of God?
1 Thessalonians 5:24 admonishes all, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”
Answering according to His assignment cannot fail with one that answers as directed.
The calling of God will relocate you from comfort to commitment to the glory of God.
In the calling of God, the provision of God that is in place for the obedient called shall not derail to arrive at the center of the assignment of God.
Also, answering the calling of God is not an exception to avoid challenges. 
Psalm 34:19 records the assurance not to become a victim of challenges for the right ones, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
Affliction is a challenge, but knowing the deliverance of the right demands endurance.
In your answering to the calling of God, activate to become endured as Hebrews 10:36 encourages all, “For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.” 
It is the will of God for all to arrive at His calling. 
God is not a slave master but a saving master for all to exist for His glory.
Are you with the desire to live life by the will of God?
One that is with desire will be deposited with the direction of God to arrive at the calling of God.
An adage states, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” 
Be encouraged not to fail in the calling of God. 
The coming out of Abraham from his country is the will of God. Abraham answered the calling of God.
The will of God for Abraham was to make Abraham a great nation, a great name, and a blessing. (Genesis 12: 1-2) 
The will of God for Abraham is the will of God packed in the way for him not to fail as he obeyed.
Take note that where there is a will for a child of God, there will always be a way to get through when one answers obediently. 
Give yourself to answer the calling of God with endurance, not to fail, and God will back you up.

Prayer for today: Ask God to open your ears and eyes, answering in His calling for your life.
