FAITH CAPSULE: God is faithful; His word is a done deal.

Joshua 6

With faith, what you are engaging before God that is yet to become manifest is not evidence that God does not hear and will not answer.
Faith is to know that God HEARS TO ANSWER.
Keep calling on God; do not stop seeking God; this is the evidence of faith in engaging God.
Be persistent in engaging before God; resist the delay of manifestation to insist on God, who is not partial to do for one and will also do for all that call on Him.
Peter testifies, “In truth, I perceive that God shows no partiality.” (Acts 10:34)
Romans 2:11 declares, “For there is no partiality with God.”
God is faithful, and you have faith!
God has done it for you.
Do not shy away from testifying to all that has been done in your life.
Keeping the testimonies of God is sharing the testimonies of God.
Vice versa, sharing the testimonies of God is keeping the testimonies of God.
Psalm 119:2 informs all, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!”
Do not stop testifying of God.
God is the perfect One, the unfailing Creator who does not sleep nor slumber but will convert impossibility to possibility. 
Luke 1:37 testifies, “For with God nothing will be impossible.”
God reverses the irreversible, and with God, concerning your challenges, the impossible shall answer to the possible.
Also, know that God is the unchanging changer; He is the same God yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
God is not partial to anyone who will understand and know God by His way, for His way is through His word.
The word of God is for healing and deliverance. 
Psalm 107:20 testifies,“He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
Approach God with what you are asking from Him.
The word of God is His testimony.
The word of God is His work.
The word of God encourages all to command Him concerning His word. (Isaiah 45:11)
The word of God also demands, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.” (Isaiah 43:26)
At all times, with faith, remind God that He is not a partial God.
The Israelites came out of the bondage of over four hundred years in Egypt, going to the promise of God, to the Promised Land.
Pharaoh failed to hold them back, and the Red Sea could not deny them or drown them.
However, the wall of Jericho could not derail or displace the Israelites, but failed.
What denies, derails, or displaces in your life? 
Put God in remembrance to deliver you as He delivered the Israelites.
With understanding and knowledge, remind God, who does not forget.

Prayer for today: Ask that the mercy of God over your life shall not cease.

FAITH CAPSULE: Do not live life as a doubter a wrong attitude!

Matthew 14

A doubter has no place with God.
Trust and hope in God; do not entertain doubt at any level.
Give regard to God; do not become a captive of doubt.
What makes up a man will be the mark of how he lives life.
Giving in to doubt is the avenue to self-destruction. 
Give regard to God, to know Him, and not to become a captive of doubting God. 
Do not doubt, do not limit, or despise the power of the word of God. Proverbs 13:13 warns, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”  
Give regard to the word of God; know it and patiently live by it to experience the end of struggle or challenge in any area of life. 
Are you in doubt over your challenge?
God is able; He will always deliver you from challenges.
Psalm 34:19 encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” 
The power of God is His word.
What God says He will do is a done deal.
Hebrews 4:12 describes the word, “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.” 
Give regard to the word of God; deny doubt in your thought or action.
Word is indeed living, powerful, and sharper to terminate challenges to the glory of God.
In your challenge, why not give regard to the word of God?
Do not doubt the word of God; it reverses the irreversible.
Disallow doubt!
Jeremiah testifies to the identity of the word of God, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts.” (Jeremiah 15:16) 
Do not doubt the life of God.
Give regard to the word of God; the word of God will work without doubt.
Working the word of God is labor. 
Laboring the word of God is without doubt.
Without doubt is obedience to God.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 states, “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the Lord your God.”
The word confirms the reason to engage the word laboriously and not doubt the word of God. 
Laboring the word of God silences doubt to prompt the blessing of God.
Do not doubt the word of God, but do the word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that the spirit of doubt be terminated in your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: At every breath, know to say that God is good.

Jeremiah 1

One who gives regard to His work is acknowledging Him for His work.
Acknowledging God is giving Him attention.
Psalm 28:5 confirms the goodness of knowing by identifying that God is good.
“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.” (Psalm 28:5)
One who knows the good of God will know to listen to see, to receive in the word of God.
Just like the Israelites and Joshua, the victory for Jeremiah was rooted in the word of God when God said, “See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:10) 
God spoke to Joshua and Jeremiah, and they listened with understanding to see the manifestation in the spoken word of God. 
To Ezekiel, God spoke: “See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it.” (Ezekiel 4:15) Ezekiel also listened with understanding; he saw to receive the direction by the word of God.
Every act of hearing (listening) in the word of God is evidence of listening to see, which is the key to gaining understanding.
Are you listening to understand the word of God?
Are you with understanding to see your victory in the word of God just like Joshua, Jeremiah, and many others in the pages of the Bible?
Are you with understanding to see your unfailing direction in the word of God, just like Ezekiel and others in the pages of the Bible?
The word of God is the manual for all. 
Live a life of understanding to see and receive in the word of God.
Jesus is the Word of God. (John 1:1)
John 10:10 records the purpose of the coming Jesus: “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.” 
Listen to the word of God to see God in Him (the word of God) and live life more abundantly.
John 14:25-27 records the gift of His peace:
“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Every recording of the word of Jesus which sounds in your direction is the source of your peace.
Are you listening to understand and to see in the word of God? 
If you are listening with understanding, you will see and receive as spoken to you.

Prayer for today: Ask to be filled with wisdom and understanding in the word of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: To Him alone to live for His glory.

Psalm 91

Pray that you know how to live for God’s glory.
Living life for God demands that all grow in God’s wisdom and knowledge.
Isaiah 33:6 speaks to all, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
Are you growing in the wisdom and knowledge of God, the source of strength, the only way to fear God and be stable in these challenging times?
As a way of life, pray nonstop that God will fill you with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
No one can grow in the wisdom and knowledge of God without an understanding of the fear of God.
One not living life for God is not abiding in Him.
John 8:32 records,“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Those who do not receive the truth are in bondage and not free to be corrected or redirected, not living life for God.
Know to abide in Him and not to live a life of waste.
Those who do not abide in Him are bound to be rebellious, not living life for God. 
Job 24:13 buttresses: “There are those who rebel against the light; they do not know its ways nor abide in its paths.”
Jesus, the light of God, is the wisdom from God for all. (1 Corinthians 1:30)
Allow yourself to hear the rebukes of life; Proverbs 15:31 admonishes, “The ear that hears the rebukes of life will abide among the wise.”
Why not live life before God, for the glory of God?
Living life for God, abiding in Him, is taking a path of light. In John 12:46, Jesus said, “I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.” 
It is not possible to be answering as a believer and be full of darkness. 
To be full of darkness is empty of the light of God.
Those built by the word of God will live life for God. Acts 20:32 states, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” 
Pray that God will enable His word to gain entrance into you to build you up to live for His glory.
Live for God and to experience, as Proverbs 6:22 identifies, “When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.”
Claiming to live life for God by living before God is the character of one who abides in Him.
God is true and the light, not to fall in darkness.

Prayer for today: Pray with understanding to live life before God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Are you a believer with a desire to be built up for God?

Psalm 28

Giving oneself to the word of God will build one up to live for the glory of God.
What one is determined to achieve for God, with desire, may fail to achieve what is desired.
At any point as a believer, do you have the desire to be built up for the glory of God?
God is not a slave master but a saving God.
God will not enforce the mind of desire for Him.
However, God will always visit anyone with desire for Him to deposit what it takes to desire Him.
Are you a believer with a desire to become built up for God?
Every role of one who wants to build for God is documented in the pages of the bible.
Psalm 28:5 records, “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.”
Giving regard to the works of God is bound to be built up by God.
Are you one who gives yourself to the works of God?
Evidently, the works of God are the word of God.
One who gives to the word of God shall be built up for God.
Paul admonishes all that the word of God will build one up for the glory of God, stating, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” (Acts 20:32)
The word of God is to build one who engages it as a way of life.
Are you unbelieving believers or acclaimed believers giving to the word of God, making noise by quoting the word of God?
One who can seek the word of God and open for the entrance of the word into the heart shall become built up for God.
Give yourself to the word of God to retain and become a build-up for God by the word of God.
Pray that the word of God will gain entrance to build you up in God.
The world has always been a place where evil continually grows.
Genesis 6:5-6 records the evil on earth:“Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent[d] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. ” (Genesis 6:5-6) 
Living in this wicked world demands continual growth in the things of God, not to be a victim of the world or to live a life of waste.
All believers should know and understand that evil is in the business of upgrading its cunning devices.
As evil devices grow, believers should grow in the word of God.
Apostle Paul admonishes, “we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” (Acts 6:4)
Prayer will draw man to grow in the Lord God. 

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled for your growth in the word of God.
