FAITH CAPSULE: Among ways existing for God is worshiping God by doing good for His glory.

Luke 10:25-37, Revelation 4

Know to live life for God, the One and only creator.
Revelation 4:11 informs all, “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.” 
The will of God is that all should exist for God.
Angel worships God non-stop. 
Man exists for God. 
Among ways to exist for God is worshiping God and giving glory and honor.
Know to do good for God to be glorified.
Is it in you to exist doing good for the glory of God? 
Bible recorded, “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17) 
Doing good consciously or unconsciously is a sin by not glorifying God while doing good shall experience the blessing of God.
In Galatians 5:22, doing good is listed among the fruit of the spirit, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.” 
The number of pages of the Bible emphasized the importance of doing good. 
Romans 12:9, “…Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.” 
1 Thessalonians 5:15, “See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.” 
2 Thessalonians 3:13, “But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.” 
Hebrews 13:16, “But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
Jesus identifies an example to be a good one in the parable of the Good Samaritan. 
In the parable, a stranger from Samaritan saw another stranger from Jerusalem who fell among thieves, badly wounded, and stripped off his clothing. 
The Samaritan could not walk away like others before him but engaged the stranger from Jerusalem and spent his resources to make sure the stranger from Jerusalem received proper medical attention. 
Jesus, our compassionate savior, referred to the good doing of the Samaritan, “But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.” (Luke 10:33) 
Doing good is having compassion. 
Compassion is the heart of Jesus. 
It is godly to be doing good. 
Are you a believing believer or an unbelieving believer? 
As a believing believer, choose to consciously have a mind of doing good to the glory of God and reason to exist for God.
Be constantly concerned about doing good. 
As a believing believer, become active in caring for others and doing good to the glory of God.
All should know with understanding doing good is in the name of God and for the glory of God. 
To be concerned for others is heaven acknowledgeable that provokes the blessing of God. 
Gain the understanding that doing good glorifies God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to do good for the glory of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: God is never far but near to all, while the majority are far from Him. 

Psalm 145

Keeping testimonies and meditating will keep one near to God.
TESTIMONIES OF GOD
A man with the understanding and knowledge of the testimonies of God is near to God.
Psalm 119:1-6 buttressed what it means to walk and keep testimonies of God, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord! 
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!
They also do no iniquity; They walk in His ways.
You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently.
Oh, that my ways were directed to keep Your statutes!
Then I would not be ashamed When I look into all Your commandments.”
Keep the testimonies of God by walking by His word.
The blessings of God are for those near to God and know to fear Him.
Do you fear God?
If you are one with the fear of God, you are obedient to Him and near to claim his promises.
With understanding, know to fear God the will for all man as Deuteronomy 6:24-25 states, “And the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day. Then it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.”
To fear God, keep His testimonies, to walk by His word.  
MEDITATING THE WORD OF GOD 
The word of God is God. 
Meditating the word of God is communicating with God continually.
God did not hide the secret of meditation when He spoke to Joshua, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:8-9) 
Of all several means of communicating with God to keep one near His presence is meditating His word day and night.
A true believer should desire to be near God.
King David testifies identities of God, “The Lord is righteous in all His ways, gracious in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. The Lord preserved all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy.” (Psalm 145:17-20) 
The word of God is proven.
The word of God is perfect to all who will give themselves to meditating His word to gain and retain position near Him day and night.

Prayer for today: Ask God to take charge of your life to be near Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: The meaning of a name matters and counts.

1 Chronicles 4

The meaning of the name one answers is not an accident as reflected in the life of such.
Among some that live the meaning of their name are:
Abraham, meaning the father of many nations.
David means adored, and his life testified as one, adored.
In the Bible, some answered names by the situation in place when they were born.
For example, Moses means drawn out of water.
Exodus 2:10 documents, “And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
The meaning of Moses testifies to the situation surrounding his life when he was born.
Jesus is the deliverance of God, and every documentation testifies His life for delivering all.
Are you a living testimony to the meaning of your name?
A negative meaning of a name needs to change to a positive name.
Jabez is an example of a name to be changed, reversing negative to positive in life.
For Jabez, the bible records, “Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested. (1 Chronicles 4:9-10)
The name Jabez means reflected pain.
Jabez called for his name change with a meaning name that is positive, not of pain.
Answering pain in the place of answering as an honored man of God is not acceptable for Jabez at a point in his life.
Jabez came out of answering to a meaningless name, a name (Jabez) that prophesied pain over his life. 
What is your name? 
Is your name setting you back from answering fully to the calling of God upon your life?
By name one is possible not to be in place to get help.
A painful name is a possibility for hope to dwindle. 
By a name meaning pain, faith fall or remain stagnated.
God is waiting for you to seek Him diligently and find your self-deliverance, just like Jabez sought his solution for his self-deliverance before God.
What is your name?
What is reflecting over your life?
Is there any name with no meaning that you are answering?
It is worth it for one not to be answering to a name with no meaning, avoiding a negative impact in life.
What is the meaning of your name?
Get wisdom with understanding, knowing to answer right, not to be a victim of lack of knowledge.

Prayer for today: Ask for the mercy of God to reverse irreversible in your life for His glory.

FAITH CAPSULE: Do not be quiet to be victorious but shout rejoicing before God.

Job 1 

Regardless of your challenge, approach God with thanks and joy.
Before God, give thanks rooted in the heart, not just in the tongue.
One that knows to give thanks to God should approach God with joy. Ephesians 5:20 states, “Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 
Do you know to give thanks for access to the presence of God?
The Bible records the reason to be thankful and joyful before God:
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4)  
Psalm 9:2, “I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to your name, O most High.” 
Psalm 16:11, “In Your presence is fullness of joy…” 
Proverbs 8:30, “…I was daily His delight, rejoicing, always before Him.” 
The scriptural verses testify that with joy, God is accessible. 
Apostle Paul states, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4) 
Apostle Paul expressed rejoicing with a shout!
Do not be quiet to be victorious know to shout rejoicing before God.
Rejoicing before God is celebrating with joy, the evidence of a thankful heart.
Let it be clear that the evil one never shies away from where there is a joy with wickedness to convert one from rejoicing to sadness. 
Regardless of the challenge, know to maintain your joy before God.
In the life of Job, Satan was at work to turn around joy into the sadness of Job.
Job 1:6-7 records, “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them And the LORD said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So, Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” (Job 1:6-7) 
Every interruption of Satan is always with bad intentions. 
Satan is empowered to go to and fro looking for one to devour when he initiated pain for Job while he presents himself at the gathering of the sons of God in His presence. 
God granted the request of Satan when he asked of Job:
“But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!” And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” So, Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.” (Job 1:11-12) 
Imagine how the wicked one delivered every form of affliction over the life of Job. 
In between and through it all, Job did not complain before God and did not condemn God. 
Job cried to God, and he eventually received more blessings after his time of testing times than when he first started to enjoy all that God bestowed upon him.

Prayer for today: Ask with joy, and give a heartful thanks to God for all things.

FAITH CAPSULE: What is stopping you from taking your concern to God today?

Mark 5

The Bible records, “Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.” (Mark 5:25-27)
For twelve years, a woman experienced un-wanting pain. 
Whenever concern remains persistent, it becomes a burden, and the carrier labors silently or loudly in pain. 
The woman could not receive healing in the hand of any physician. 
On top of her pain, she spent all to get healed but did not get healing.
Physically, spiritually or emotionally, are you experiencing a silent pain from the issue of life?
Pain can be a combination of labor and discouragement in the life of the journey.
The healing Healer is encouraging enough to look up to for healing and deliverance.
Matthew 11:28 record the encouraging healing word of God, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and you will find rest for your souls.” The healing Healer is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Give self to the word of God for healing like the woman with the issue of blood. 
If she had not come to Jesus, the issue of blood would have remained over her life. 
Jesus was not telling jokes, nor was He sharing fables when He declared in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and you will find rest for your souls.”
What is stopping you from taking your concern to Him today?
Is your past discouragement in the place to discourage you from getting your healing?
A woman of the blood of twelve years did not resist going for her healing. 
Leviticus 15:19 stated, “If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall be set apart seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.” 
The law in Leviticus 15:19 could not resist her from going after Jesus, but she went further to receive her healing.
At the approach of Jesus by the woman of the issue of blood, every available route to reach Jesus was crowded but not enough to discourage her.
The woman with the issue of blood came behind Jesus, and the crowd could not deny her from touching His garment.
Any discouragement to give up from seeking from the Healing One is a force of evil.
Location or your distance to the Healer is not enough to be a hindrance to your healing. 
With the extent of pain, Jesus can heal and give rest.
The woman with the issue of blood sought the Healer diligently, and she received her healing.
Today, seek God the Healer diligently, and you shall receive your healing.

Prayer for today: Ask God to give heed to your prayer.
