FAITH CAPSULE: Answering fully to God is turning to the calling of God. 

Jeremiah 3

Turning from God is a sin before God.
Answering fully to God is turning to the calling of God.
God has placed a calling upon all with no exemption. 
The salvation plan for all is to answer to the calling of God.
Bible records the calling of God for all. 
2 Timothy 1:9 states, “Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.” 
Answering the calling of God is to turn to God. 
Indeed, God has given a holy calling through Jesus, but today majority has turned away from God. 
Lack of understanding will turn away from God.
Without understanding, there will be a lack of knowledge. 
Lord declares in Hosea 4:6, “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. “
The word of God is the source of understanding God. 
With understanding, there will be fear of God to turn God. 
The truth today is that acclaimed believer inside or outside of the church has turned away from God.
Turning away from God is a sin before God. 
Are you turning from God?
Romans 3:10-18, all should search heart to know if the word speaks to you.
“There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God; they have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one; their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues, they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips; whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 
The word of Romans 3:10-18 speaks of wicked of this world and rebelliousness before God.
Joshua 22:29 also speaks to all now, not just then, “Far be it from us that we should rebel against the Lord, and turn from following the Lord this day…” 
Turning away from God is rebellion.
Turning to God is answering fully to God, the only God that calls right.
God expects the turning of all to Him with a whole heart. 
Jeremiah 3:10 testifies, “And yet for all this, her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to Me with her whole heart, but in pretense,” says the Lord.” 
God is a God that none can deceive, and there shall be no deception in turning to Him. Turning to God shall be with nonstop in the journey of life, giving God His due attention.

Prayer for today: Ask for the strength to turn to God with all the heart.

FAITH CAPSULE: God calls and back up the called ones.

1Samuel 26

The Lord God yesterday, today, and forever is not partial but merciful. 
He watches over all. 
He is God that does not sleep nor slumber. 
The psalmist mentions, “Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” (Psalm 121:4) 
God is a God that does not look away from His children but will fight for His children. 
Has He called you, but the enemy takes a position against you? 
Word of God encourages, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” (1 Thessalonians 5:24) 
He that calls you shall not slumber or sleepover; He shall show up on your behalf. 
Without a doubt, turn to God, be faithful, and know that He will fight for you.
Moses about the calling of God over his life.
Moses was accused but could not fight the battle by himself. 
Moses responded to his people, “And Moses said: “By this, you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will. If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are visited by the common fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. But if the Lord creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the Lord.” (Numbers 16:28-30) 
Moses committed his fight to the hand of God. 
God could not slumber or sleep on behalf of Moses. 
God fought on behalf of Moses to terminate the enemies of Moses.
Today, your enemy shall experience the vengeance of God.
Did He call you as He called Moses to back him up?
Like Moses, God called David to back him up in answering His calling over his life.
God called David to be King after Saul, but Saul relentlessly sought to kill David by pursuing him all over the face of the earth. 
The hand of God was in place over the life of David. 
Who can bend the hand of God from manifesting on your behalf? 
Saul attempted, but he prevailed as a failure. 
Saul was pursuing David with three thousand soldiers. 
At night, David approached Saul while his guards were in a deep sleep. David could have killed Saul but vowed not to destroy the anointed of God. 
The Bible records, “So David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul’s head, and they got away; and no man saw or knew it or awoke. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.” (1Samuel 26:12) 
David did not attempt to fight his battle but allowed God to fight on his behalf.
When God fights for you, it shall be a permanent victory. 
Today, your enemy shall experience the vengeance of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to send your enemy into a deep sleep. 

FAITH CAPSULE: Are you one that wants to claim the promise of God in His word?

Exodus 3

One that can listen to the word of God will understand and see the word of God.
One that can see in the word of God will receive the promise of God to become of such.
The promise of God is undeniable for all that listen, see, and receive the word of God.
His promise belongs to any that sees in His word. 
Faith is to focus on the promise of God. 
God was and is not talkative.
God will not become a garrulous God from eternity to eternity. 
Awesome gracious God is a loving and longsuffering God.
God acts for His children that wait on Him. 
Isaiah 64:4 buttresses, “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.” 
God promised to deliver the Israelites from the bondage of over four hundred, “So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.” (Exodus 3:8)
The promise of God for the Israelites was a process with the demand of faith that demonstrates seeing by looking up to God regardless of the challenges of the enemies. 
The promise of God is in the word of God that does not return void but shall accomplish what pleases God and shall prosper in the thing which God sent. (Isaiah 55:11) 
Unfortunately, one hears promises but ignores paying attention to challenges in the process of the promise of God.
Are you one that wants to claim the promise of God in His word but ignores the challenges in the process of the promise of God? 
The challenge will come with the process, but one should rest in God by beholding Him. 
The Israelites paid attention to the enemy instead of beholding God, as Exodus 14:9-10 records, “So the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon. And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid…” 
Beholding the enemy is an avenue to fear and encases self-destruction. 
The promise of God always remains unchanging, while beholding challenges will lead one out of the promise of God.
All the Israelites that left Egypt, from twenty years old and above, did not get to the promise of God by beholding challenges. 
Beholding enemies will lead to rebellion and complaints that is evil before God.

Prayer for today: Ask that you will see to know the rest in the promises of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: See God in His word, and He will see you through. 

Genesis 28

The escape of Jacob from his brother (Esau) from Beersheba toward Haran brought him to a place to sleep. 
In his sleep, he had a dream, “And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: “I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 28:13-14) 
In the dream was the promise of God for Jacob that called for his attention to God. 
God said, “Behold”. 
Behold means to observe, to look at. 
God called the attention of Jacob to observe, to look at, and to see the dream. 
Are you sincerely beholding Him?
The dream was loaded with great promise for Jacob as he encountered his life journey. 
Just as a dream sounds promising, the word promises in the ear.
However, with a dream or word of God, is all observing, looking, or seeing in the word of God that sounds in the direction of one? 
God purposely called attention to Jacob before delivering His promise to Jacob by saying, “Behold”.
With the promising dream for Jacob, God also assured Jacob with the promise of manifestation by calling his attention as stated, “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” (Genesis 28:15) 
God used the word “Behold” to call attention to the promise; He also used the word “Behold” for His assurance to manifest the promise for Jacob. 
In the word or dream of God, He has promised you and assured you through the pages of the Bible, but you are not beholding Him. 
Are you looking or seeing what He has said? 
A failure to behold (look or see) the word of God is self-denial from possessing the assured promise of God.
Pay attention to His promise; He shall see you through for manifestation. 
The promise of God always goes through a process before manifestation. 
In all processes, the challenge cannot be exempt. 
Beholding God for His promise is looking up to God, which is evidence of faith in God. 
In all the words or dreams of God, have faith by meditating on His promise for manifestation. 
Jacob repeatedly disallowed discouragements and could not be denied gaining the promise of God in life. 
He beheld God through his journey. 
Do not become self-denial of the promise of God for your life. 
Deny discouragement in your life but be steadfast in beholding God.

Prayer for today: Ask that the strength of steadfastness in looking up to God shall be your portion.

FAITH CAPSULE: In life, seek God in a route that avoids agents of denials.

Luke 7:36-39, 8:41-48

Bible identified a prominent sinner woman in the city. 
Luke 7:37-38 records, “And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.” 
The prominent woman, a sinner, knew what to do to get what she desired of the Lord. 
The woman sinner of the city approached Jesus at His feet from His behind. 
The woman sinner took the back route to avoid the multitude, not to deny her desire to gain the attention of Jesus. 
If the woman, a sinner, had attempted to step in the front, she probably would have been denied by the multitude that was before Jesus. 
Coming out of the worst way might demand avoiding the multitude. 
What is the challenging need for your life that demands to avoid hindrances of life? 
Multitude could have been a hindrance for the sinner woman in the city. 
The woman sinner wanted to reach out to Jesus to be touched.
She expected manifestation. 
The woman wanted to move forward in her life. 
Taking a move that is not common is a way to receive an uncommon testimony.
Remain focused on God and will deny the multitude. 
A sinner woman went from behind, at the feet of Jesus.
Just like the woman with the alabaster oil (the sinner woman of the city), the woman with the issue of blood also made an uncommon route to receive her miracle from Jesus. 
The Bible records, “Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.” (Luke 8:43-44) 
The disease of twelve years also took a back route to approach Jesus. The woman with the issue of blood reached Jesus from behind. 
The woman with the issue of blood, the woman (sinner woman of the city) with the alabaster oil, took a route not to be denied but to reach Jesus. 
They both came from behind to approach Jesus, a route where there was no means for the multitude to distract to gain the attention of Jesus. 
Taking a route not to be a victim of distraction is a move purposeful to achieve the purpose and be fulfilled. 
Engaging a route that will deny distraction, to approach shall provoke testimony to the glory of God. 
In every area of need, seek God in a route that avoids multitude and not live a life of waste.

Prayer for today: Ask God to take charge of your ways.
