FAITH CAPSULE: Seek God, and see Him in His word for the way of life.

John 1:1-38

To become encased in the word of God is the way to escape and not become a victim of the wicked world.
Seek God in His word to see and capture a secured future in God.
How do you effectively engage the word of God? 
Begin to behold and see in the word of God as one looking into the mirror. 
Behold the word of God and listen to gain an understanding to have a knowing edge in life journey.
Begin to see and receive in the word of God to trust and hope in God.
Daily, one that sees self in the word as in a mirror shall know to dress up to be wise in the word of God and not to become a victim of the wicked world.
One that sees self in the word of God shall readdress self and know not to live a life of sin.
One that sees right in the word of God shall not become wrong in all endeavors.
One that sees the word of God as a daily or moment mirror shall gain boldness and character of God to live life for the glory of God.
Trust and hope in God can be gained in the word of God. 
See in the word of God as a way of life.
Make the word of God your daily routine by studying continually and not only when it is convenient. 
The word of God confirms that giving self to meditating the word of God shall behold (see) the word of God to do as the word says.
Joshua 1:8 records, “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. “
David and Daniel are examples one can look into the mirror of the word God that points them out for good.
Let the word of God impact your perspective of life; allow the word of God to be your mirror to see the way to a breakthrough. 
See in the word of God for what you will adhere to adjust your life so that you excel for the glory of God.
Among the secret of Daniel was praying three times daily. (Daniel 6:10)
David engaged life of praying three times a day. 
Psalm 55:16 records, “Evening and morning, and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.”   
Could it be that Daniel must have adopted praying three times a day in the mirror of the word of God?
Begin to see in the word of God to secure your destiny.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable your seeing in Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: Can you identify the kind of a believer you are?

Matthew 5:1-15

 What kind of a believer are you?
What is your walk like before God? 
Does your character communicate your claim as a believer in God?
One walking before God is evidence of one living by the word of God.
One walking is also one working before God.
Are you a cold, hot, or lukewarm believer before God?
Revelation 3:15-16 records the word of God in response to the work of all: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
By the scriptural verse above, it is clear enough that there is no middle ground in every word of God. 
As an acclaimed believer, you are either one who contributes to the earth as a preserver or one that does not contribute but takes a position of a non-preserver (destroyer). 
What kind of a believer are you?
Jesus identifies that just as salt preserves food, so should believers be the salt of the earth preserving the earth.
Are you a preserving believer, a lukewarm believer, or a hot or cold believer?
A believer should be the one bringing impacting changes to the word, preserving the decaying world of sin and iniquity. 
The world is changing believers because believers adapt to the wicked world but do not evangelize the world.
Believers are not to be changed by the affairs of this world. 
Answering as a believer is not enough by going to church or knowing to quote the word of God fluently as a believer.
Most believers today want to be quiet in their walk with the excuse of not wanting to offend anyone with what they believe.
Think about this: How can it be that food coming out of the kitchen with salt should be tasteless?
Jesus said in Matthew 5:13, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men”. 
A kitchen producing tasteless and unacceptable food is evidence that salt has lost its flavor. 
The salt that is not effective has lost its purpose. 
Such salt becomes waste and is due to be thrown away. 
According to Jesus, a thrown-away salt becomes an underfoot material. 
What kind of salt are you? 
Are you one that is bold in quoting the word of God without Godly character to back your quotation or claim as a believer? 
Believers of the word are to be salt that seasons their world with godly and acceptable contributions. 
Live life as a preserving agent according to the word of God.
Live life for God to be identified as a believer of the word of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled as one living life by the word of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness should be the reason for living life. 

Colossians 3:1-17

God is the creator, the One and only God that cannot and should not be disregarded but live life for His glory.
Are you assuming to be seeking God?
Are you a believer by the mouth? 
Are you searching for yourself to identify who you are before God? 
Are you a believer in truth to the heart?
Believing God is not only by confessing with the mouth but seeking God diligently. 
To be seeking God with diligence is the standard by God for all.
God is a jealous God while giving attention is the antidote to gaining the attention of God.
To seek God with diligence is giving attention to God.
What is it that is worth more than seeking God diligently?
Jesus admonishes, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) 
Seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness should be the reason for living life. 
Seeking outside of God is taking a distance from the presence of God. Seeking besides God is setting self for the wicked world.
Accepting the truth of the word of God is to believe by behaving in the word of God. 
Jesus identifies a challenge for believers: “But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.” (John 8:45) 
Give yourself to the truth of God to put the devil to shame.
A believer with truth lives by the expectation of God.
Have you given your life to the truth of God? 
In truth, seek God with all diligence. Jesus is the truth of God, John 14:6 records, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Believing God is behaving the word of God.
In this world of challenges, seek God diligently, and know to set your mind to experience the promise in God.
Paul buttresses, “If then you were raised with Christ; seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” (Colossians 3:1-2) As a believer, what you seek and set your mind on in the truth of God is what will make you up in the journey of life. 
The standard of seeking and setting the mind on things above states: “…seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” (Deuteronomy 4:29)
Consider setting the mind seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. 
A commitment to seeking God will position man before God that all things are possible.  

Prayer for today: Ask that you want to seek God with diligence in all your way of life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Are you failing not to give regard to God?

Psalm 106:13-33

Forgetting what God has done is not knowing to wait on God. 
Experiencing a delay of expectation should not prompt discouragement.
Importantly, know that delay is not a reason to forget the doings of God.
Psalm 103:2 states, “Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.” 
Forgetting what God has done or what He can do can lead to taking a route of sin. 
By the hand of God, the children of Israel came out of the bondage of Egypt but could not remember what the Lord did for them. Psalm 106:13-14 mentions, “They soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel, but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert.” (Psalm 106:13-14) 
The Israelites overlooked the doings of God.
They failed to recall and did not remember what the Lord did for their salvation from the bondage of over four hundred years.
When there is a failure for one not to remember the beginning, arrival at the destination shall experience a complication.
As a result of the truth that the Israelites could not remember the works of God, failure not to wait for the counsel of God took charge of their life. From their testimony, it is evident that not waiting on God is a passage to become wasted, a failure to arrive at the promise of God. 
The Israelites lost exceedingly.
One that is under the cloud by the delay of expectation will forget the works of God?
Can it be that you are disregarding the works of the hand of God? 
Isaiah 5:12-13 documents what it is not to give regard or consider work of God “The harp and the strings, the tambourine and the flute, and wine are in their feasts; but they do not regard the work of the LORD, nor consider the operation of His hands. Therefore my people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.” (Isaiah 5:12-13) 
A failure to give regard to the work of God is bound to experience the consequence of disregarding God.
One that does not give attention to what God has done will deny self from responding to what God is doing or what God will do.
Where are you standing?
Are you failing not to give regard to God or not giving attention to what God is doing or what He can do?
It is iniquity not to give regard to the work of God or not to consider the operation of His hands because He is a Jealous God.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to remember and not disregard the works of His hand.

 FAITH CAPSULE: Why not give regard to the living God and know to worship Him instead of worrying? 

Mathew 6:25-34

Worrying is rooted in the failure to give regard to God.
Is it the issue of meeting needs that prompts worrying?
The Lord Jesus is the provider that meets the needs and gives life abundantly. 
He came to take away worrying, but the enemy is in the business of activating worrying in life.
Worrying cannot be corporate with worshipping God. 
Jesus warns against worrying, stating the reasons not to worry, “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? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin.” (Mathew 6:25-28) 
Why worry when Jesus specifically encourages against worrying? 
Apostle Paul buttresses the word of God when he states in Philippians 4:19, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” 
God is more than capable and shall supply all needs. 
He alone is the Almighty God, and nothing is impossible for Him to do.
The word does not promise the supply of needs for anyone based on the power or strength of such.
However, needs can be in place for anyone according to the riches in glory of Christ Jesus.
Why not give regard to the living God and know to worship Him instead of worrying? 
Many meditate on the promise of God in the mouth but do not meditate in mind. 
With meditating, the word of God in mind, the power of God will answer. However, when doubt is activated, the inability to wait on the promise of the word of God provokes worrying. 
Worrying can be a reason for a wrong answer, and the worrying one to react negatively in the face of a challenge. 
In the place of worrying, Jesus admonishes His disciples on how to respond to challenges of the end time, “But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.” (Mark 13:11) 
The word of God for disciples also speaks to all that knowledge to give regard to God continually. 
At all times of challenges, give God regards in His words to have worrying subsided.

Prayer for today: Ask to be delivered from the spirit of doubt and worry.
