FAITH CAPSULE: Know that one that wavers falters.

1 Kings 18

Do not waver to become faltered.
What happens in the place of waver? 
Isaiah 21:4 testified, “My heart wavered, fearfulness frightened me; The night for which I longed He turned into fear for me.” 
A wavering heart is evidence of a soul that gives to fear. 
Are you one with wavering rooted in having fear instead of boldness?
Romans 4:20 identifies learning from Abraham and not being a vessel of wavering, “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.” 
Be a believer with faith, strengthening faith by giving glory to God.
Give attention to the word of God to know that wavering leads to faltering, falling, and not standing by the word of God.  
The acclaimed believer should not be patterned to falter. 
Are you claiming to follow the Lord, attending fellowship of believers but prone, or actively faltering/wavering when challenge persists?
Giving self to falter instead of having faith is evidence of not following God fully. 
At the victory of the Israelites over the prophets of Baal, on Mount Carmel, Elijah asked the children of Israel, “…How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.’ but the people answered him not a word.” (1 Kings 18:21) 
All failed to answer the question of Elijah because they were not faithful in following God fully. 
In your challenging situation, do you falter? 
God is not deceived, like a man.
1 Samuel 16:7 states, “For the Lord does not see as man see, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”  
Do you have enough relationship with the Lord not to doubt Him to become wavering?
Is your challenging situation question your trust and hope in God?
Faltering has its root in the spirit of doubt, and doubt is a demonstration of a lack of faith. 
Hebrews 11:6 records, “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.”  
The faltered soul is not faithful, and God is not, please with one that is not faithful. 
Those who diligently seek God follow Him fully to experience His reward. One that falters is not following God but serving two masters. 
To fear God is evidence of serving God to know God.
Psalm 33:18 states, “…the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy.”  
Get to know God, set your mind on God, and not be faltering, be steadfast on Him. 
Hebrews 10:23 states, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” 
Give self to God, be faithful, and not waver to become falter as a victim of this wicked world.  

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver you from a wavering spirit and not to become a faltering vessel.

FAITH CAPSULE: This month, wait on God to prevail.

Matthew 6

To be alive today is not by right but by the privilege of God. 
Day after day, week after week, month after month is a privilege of God.
One not knowing God is worrying instead of worshiping God.
Matthew 6:25-27 speaks to all, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  
As a believing believer, pay attention to the warning word of God that is against worrying, asking to be patient waiting on God. 
God will not deny sincere attention to His word but always attend to such waiting on Him. 
Know to be encouraged by waiting on the promise of God. 
Isaiah 30:18 states, “Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore, He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are those who wait for Him.”  
God is waiting for those who wait on Him. 
Without any doubt, there is no record of any who waits on God and becomes wasted. 
The bondage of over four hundred years of the Israelites in the land of Egypt could not deny the visitation of salvation by God over the Israelites. 
As a believer of the word of God, be rest assured that this month will answer as your prevailing
month to the glory of God. 
Wait on God to remember you with favor and visit you with salvation.
This prevailing month wait on God for His open hand in your direction. Bible testifies to the open hand of God. 
Psalm 104:28 points out, “What You give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are filled with good.” Psalm 145:16, “You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.” 
Prayerfully speak to the God-given month as a prevailing month and expect the open hand of God to fill you by satisfying your desire.
God is in control of every challenge enemy cannot be more powerful.
Know to be giving self to pray continually to experience prevailing month for the glory of God over your life. 
It does not matter how long you have been waiting, but it does matter that in waiting, wait only on Him and be of good courage.
This month, with faith, expect to experience a new song to the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that the grace of God shall not expire over your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Doing the word of God is doing good.

Esther 8

Under heaven, doing good is not beyond God.
God sees all, and doing good will provoke the mercy of God.
The Bible records that the word of God is God as John 1:1 testifies, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
The Bible also records that the word is the Spirit of God. 
John 6:63 records, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life.”
The Bible also confirms, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) 
The Word of God is God, and His word is His Spirit.
Doing the word of God is doing good.
It is wise and should be a desire with one that wants to live life for God, to pray the word of Psalm 143:10 that states, “Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.”
When God, His Spirit that is good, becomes established in the life of one, the testimony of God that is mercy and truth shall belong to such.
The mercy of God is attainable for one that is doing good before God.
Knowing to do good under heaven is not beyond the response of the mercy of God.
One, Haman devised evil against the Jews to provoke the guidance of Mordecai, which led Esther to receive privilege before the King to deny Haman with an evil device. Bible records, “Now Esther spoke again to the king, fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to counteract the evil of Haman the Agagite, and the scheme which he had devised against the Jews.” (Esther 8:3) 
Esther devised good, and the mercy of God answered on behalf of all her people (Jews). 
The Word of God in Proverbs 14:22 confirms, “…but mercy and truth belong to those who devise good. 
One devising good will attain the mercy of God.
In life, one that sows good will reap good.
It is a wise saying that whatever a man sow is what a man will reap.
For example, as close as banana and plantain look alike, it is impossible to sow banana and reap plantain regardless of how look-alike they appear.
What are you sowing to reap?
Hosea 10:12 buttressed the word of God, “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy.” 
Become one merciful to experience the mercy of God just as Matthew 5:7 speaks to all, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” 
Be merciful to attain the mercy of God over your life.
With understanding, know God to be doing good, not just know about God. 
Seek the mercy of God so that His mercy will reign and rule in your life.

Prayer for today: Ask to be a vessel of doing good to the glory of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Meditate on the following four points to experience the move of God.

Psalm 1, 4

Meditating the word of God is continual communication with God or locating God in His living word.
The quotes rooted in the word of God are to occupy the mind for meditating before God, knowing that God will deliver.
Meditate following four points:
LIVE LIFE FOR GOD, NOT FOR YOURSELF
The character of a selfish-minded one is to know to do good but not do good. 
Such selfish-minded will do good except only in exchange for self-need as an exploiter in the life of others.
One with the character of a selfish mind is of sin before God. 
James 4:17 confirms a selfish mind, “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” Who are you before God? Are you living life outside of the word of God?
Search self, live life, not for self, but to the glory of God.
ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN AS PROMISED BY THE LIVING WORD OF GOD
Asking is what the unfailing word of God requests from all that know to ask.
Continually, ask for the living Word of God to locate you, to gain entrance into your life, and silence the spirit of unbelieving in your life. 
Ask God to enable you to live life prayerfully by His word. 
Psalm 72:15 admonishes, “…Prayer also will be made for Him continually, and daily He shall be praised.” 
Apostle Paul instructs in Acts 6:4, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”  
Know to pray because evil is continual!
LISTEN TO GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD OF GOD
One that listens will understand the word of God to live life victoriously, to the glory of God.
If you can listen, understanding will enable you to see, to receive, and what you receive in the word of God will become of you.
When there is no listening, there will be no understanding.
The word of Jesus in John 8:43 rhetorically questioned and answered, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
Begin to listen enough to gain the understanding to be able to see and receive the word.
SEE IN THE WORD OF GOD
Jericho, with the wall, was an attempt to deny Isreal from arriving at the Promise Land.
However, Joshua could see in the spoken word of God.
By seeing in the word of God, the Israelites gain victory over Jericho.
God said, “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” (Joshua 6:2) 
Jeremiah saw in the word of God: “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) 
Begin to listen with understanding, see to receive in the word of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask that the word of God will stay in your heart to establish you in the presence of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Prayer demands commitment with consistency.

Daniel 6

Do you have a prayer life?
Prayer time is not a parade time to impress man but to provoke the hand of God for His favor of goodness. 
Prayer is a labor that is not for one with the spirit of laziness. 
The prayer of Jesus in the garden demonstrates that God will not ignore prayer before Him.
Luke 22:44 identifies the labor prayer of Jesus, “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”  
Ask engaging laborious prayer as a way of life, not to be a victim of a wicked world.
A prayer-less is not possible to prevail in the wicked world.
Prayer should be a continual engagement.
Engaging in prayer time is not convenient but demands commitment.
Do you have a prayer life?
Is your prayer consistent with commitment? 
Apostle Paul testifies about prayer.
Acts 6:4 records, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Are you one with denying or delayed experience in the hour of prayer?
Daniel is one with the testimony of engaging prayer with commitment.
The commitment of Daniel is continual without convenience. 
Daniel had a heart for God.
Daniel was experiencing promotion as he purposes his heart for God.
The promotion of Daniel positioned him for untimely termination.
Daniel 6:3 records the reaction of King Darius to Daniel, “Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.”
The promotion experienced a challenge.
Daniel 6:4 records, “So the governors and satraps sought to find some charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him.”
In all the challenges of Daniel, he resolved to prayer that made him prevail.
Daniel was a prayer vessel.
Daniel 6:10 records, “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 enemy of Daniel saw what kind of a man Daniel was, yet they wanted to terminate Daniel by pressing for his termination.
Daniel 6:11 records, “Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. 12 And they went before the king, and spoke concerning the king’s decree”
The prayer of Daniel was the frustration of his enemies.
The praying of Daniel denied an untimely death over his life.
The king reluctantly gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him to become terminated by the lions.
Daniel prevailed because he was a praying vessel.
There is no substitute for praying to provoke the move of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that praying with commitment before God shall be your way of life.
