FAITH CAPSULE: One that does not know God is not possible to fear God. 

Give your heart to fear God. 
The command of God is designated to occupy the heart of all, to fear God to live life for God.
1Timothy 6:14-16 states, “…that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be
honor and everlasting power. Amen.” 
Will you give your heart to fear God?
One that does not know to understand God, it is not possible to know God.
One that does not know God is not possible to fear God.  
With a desire to fear God, prayerfully ask God to deposit in you to have a heart/mind for Him.
It is true of God that gives to one with desires to live life for His glory. 
The word of God promises all, “Then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them.” (Jeremiah 32:29)
God treasures those who fear Him.
To fear God is with wisdom and knowledge, the source of stability, the strength of salvation. Isaiah 33:6 testifies, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times and the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.” 
God treasures it when feared by His creation.
Fear God by your way of living life.
One that is living life, knowing to fear God, is taking a position to provoke the mercy of God.
To fear God is rooted in giving attention to the word of God by inclining the ear to be keeping the word of God in the heart, not just in the head.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 points out the need for all to be living life by the fear of God, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.”
Are you one that keeps the word of God in the head with no space for the word of God in the heart?
Give your heart to the fear of God. 
In life, let the fear of God become your character, your identity before God. 
The fear of God is the identity of Job before God as God testifies, “there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still, he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause.” (Job 2:3)
One that fears God in the heart is with the character that pleases God.
Have a heart of fear for God to shun the evil not to have a place in the heart.

Prayer for today: Ask that the fear of God becomes established in your hearts and not depart from God.

FAITH CAPSULE:  To be humble is a priority to live life for God.

Philippians 2

God gives grace to the humble.
Pride closes the door to spiritual growth, but humility opens the door to experiencing more of the grace of God. 
Humility before God is to become one with patience, peace, and gentleness.
The fruit of the Spirit grows in the soil of humility. Humility is the key to spiritual growth.
Paul identifies the character of humility, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” (Philippians 2:3)
Humility is also: meekness, servility, unpretentiousness, submissiveness, self-abnegation, humbleness, and compassion.
Humility means letting God take charge of your life.
A humble person is not proud and does not believe that better than other people. 
Humility before God will confess sins to the Lord, give up burdening, and be willing to leave it at the cross. 
The disciples of Jesus asked: “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Jesus called a little child to come to Him and chided them, saying: “Whosoever … shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:1, 4).
The opposite of humbleness in character is pride and arrogance.
Know humility, identify the opposite of humility and not let it be your character.
Humility is the key to being free from pride or arrogance.
Proverbs 22:4 records what the word of God says about humility: “By humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches and honor and life.” 
BE HUMBLE BEFORE GOD THAT SEES ALL
With humility is the ability to obey the word of God.
Life is a journey.
In your life journey, humility will declare your heart/mind before God.
God wants all to be humble in life, not to miss heaven.
One that is humble will be obedient to the word of God.
What is your heart/mind like before God?
Are you an acclaimed believer of God or an unbelieving believer?
As an acclaimed believer, what kind of heart/mind is yours before God?
Philippians 2:5, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” 
The mind of Jesus is the mind of obedience, a total submission to the commands of God with no iota of disobedient as Philippians 2:8 records, “And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.”
The word of Jesus points out that one with the mind of humility, like a little child, will not miss heaven. Matthew 18:2-4 states, “Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”  
What stops you from having a humble mind to live obediently by the word of God? 

Prayer for today: Ask to become humble and be established as humbled one all the days of your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Suspend pride to submit self to wait on God. 

Luke 15:11-32

Pride can be of one looking away from God into self with the assumption of ability with no need for the intervention of God.
Deny pride, to wait on God.
Waiting for the appointed time of God will experience the act of God.
Psalmist encourages, “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14) 
To rest on God is knowing to wait on God.
Psalm 37:7 speaks to all, “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.” 
One that cannot rest on the promises of God is not possible to wait on God.
Why not wait for God? 
Time belongs to God.
The parable of the prodigal son (the lost son) testifies that the prodigal son entered a state of lack because he could not wait on the appointed time of God. 
The prodigal son was in place to gain much by waiting but nothing to gain for not waiting for the appointed time.
The prodigal son was younger with no respect but asked ahead of his older brother.
Pride is nothing but silent evidence of self-centeredness.
The prodigal son asked for and received his portion of the inheritance from his father before the appointed time. 
Having received his portion, he engaged on a journey to a far country. 
The prodigal son could not wait but wasted his inheritance. 
The parable Jesus gave is not a play write-up; it is to place His written word in the life of believers. 
In life journey, waiting for an appointed time can be painful but would eventually be gainful for those who persevere in waiting. 
The inability to wait is the avenue to waste as the prodigal son engages in the journey.
Luke 15: 13-14 records, “And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land and he began to be in want.”  
In life, walking out of the timing of God is walking into a self-destruction avenue.
It is true that no one ever complained of falling or stepping into grievous mistakes while waiting on God.
Today, give attention to what the word of God states in Psalm 37:34, “Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it…”  
The word of God does not lie.
No one can break down the word of God from manifesting.
God will act for those who wait on Him. 
Is pride driving you against waiting for God’s appointed time?

Prayer for today: Ask for the mercy to be waiting on God in all areas of life.

FAITH CAPSULE: God is a merciful God, and His mercy is His hand.

Ezekiel 37

In the hand of God, there is the direction to position one for deliverance.
Prayerfully, desire the encounter with the hand of God.
God will have mercy on whom He chose to extend.
Also, one that cries unto God shall experience the hand of God that is merciful.
Romans 9:15 records, “For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”
Why not desire the merciful hand of God for the direction for deliverance? 
What is it about the hand of God?
Pages of the Bible record the direction hand of God as it locates one for deliverance.
Ezekiel testifies to the hand of God.
Ezekiel 37:1 states, “The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.”
Whoever experiences the hand of God is set for direction in the word of God.
Ezekiel heard and saw in the word of the direction of God.
Ezekiel 37:3-5 records, “And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know. Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
In the direction of God is to see and become exposed to the miracle of God.
One exposed to the miracle of God shall be set to excel for the glory of God.
Exposure to the miracle of God shall close out a doubt to open as living with boldness and character.
Why not desire for the encounter with the hand of God?
The hand of God is power for one listening to see in the word of God.
Ezekiel 37:7 Ezekiel listened, “So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone.”
Do not deny the hand of God by failing to move in the direction of God. 
Ezekiel listened and saw as directed by God to experience the miracle of God.
What is denying one not to hear to see in the word of God answering by the hand of God?
Repeatedly the word of God calls all to see in His word.
Make it a way of life to be listening, to see in the word of God. 
What you see, you believe to receive to become yours.
In the word of God, there is healing and deliverance. (Psalm 107:20)
Claim the word of God by seeing to receive and become of you.

Prayer for today: Ask to know and see in the word of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: The new day or season is moving you forward.

Genesis 19

Psalm 117 records: 
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples! 
For His merciful kindness is great toward us and the truth of the Lord endures forever.”  
The mercy of God was in place for Lot and his family.
The wife of Lot failed to see the mercy of God in her relocation. 
As an acclaimed believer, do you see God in your relocation? 
The mercy of God has relocated you into your new season or a new day. The new day or season is moving you forward.
A failure to see that God is moving you forward is the passage to self-destruction. 
Trust and hope in God that the challenges of yesterday shall not be permanent.
Ask that the mercy of God shall terminate challenges over your life. 
Believe it, confess it, and know that “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19)
Your new month shall not run out without the visitation of God for your deliverance in the name of Jesus. 
Regardless of any provoking challenge in your new month, the refreshing hand of God shall answer your life fully. 
In this new month, your relocation, to be giving thanks to God, shall constantly be your song, to the glory of God.
Embrace where you are with thanksgiving to God and allow the past to be in the past. 
Glorify God to be glorified in the life He has given you. 
Know that Having life today is not because of merit but because of His mercy. 
Having life today is not a right but the privilege of God. 
Those who live by faith will see in faith and move by faith.
Know that the truth of the Lord endures forever. 
The truth of God is in His word. 
He gave His word to warn Lot and his wife: “…Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” (Genesis 19:17) 
An escape from self-destruction demands setting sight on the Unchanging changer, the Commander of commands. 
The word of God was difficult for the wife of Lot to obey because she could not look away from her past, her comfort zone. 
The Bible records that the wife of Lot looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19:26) Could it be that your relocation is The relocation of God is repositioning you for the better? 
What is it in your past that cannot be forgotten and is causing you not to see God ordering your step? 
Looking back is evidence of worry instead of glorifying God. 
God is moving you forward, relocating you in a new month.
The deliverance and His preservation will answer for you as your portion in the name of Jesus.

Prayer for today: Ask God to take over your days and your moments for His name to be glorified over your life.
