FAITH CAPSULE: God deserves the praise of His people at the breath of life.

Psalm 100, 150

Just as praying before God is an action that will get the attention of God, so it is that praising God cannot be ignored by God but will get His attention.
Are you full of praising or less of praising God?
Praising God can never be too much but will continually retain you in the presence of God.
Know to be praising God in the morning, afternoon, and night because God inhabits the praises of His people. Psalm 22:3 confirms, “But you are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.”
What will it cost you to engage in praising God as your way of life? Without a doubt, constantly praising God is what will make all the difference in every walk of life.
Knowing and understanding to praise God is what it takes to experience the manifestation of expectation in the presence of God.
Praising God demands understanding as Psalm 47:7 states, ” For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with understanding.” 
Praise God with understanding!
God deserves the praise of His people at the breath of life He has given to His creation. The Psalmist declares, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” (Psalm 150:6) The goodness and mercy of God demand praising God, and it cannot be too much to be praising God at every breath.
Praising God with understanding will revoke the challenges of the enemy.
Praising God is hallowing Him to honor or consecrate Him.
King David, a man after the heart of God, knows and understands the praising of God as his weapon of gaining victory over the enemies.
2 Samuel 22:4 records the testimony of David, “I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.” 
David understands quite well what it means to be constantly praising God. 
David was full of praising God. At the time of moving the ark of God to the City of David, King David praised God by leaping and whirling before the Lord without withholding himself from praising God in the face of all.
Praising God with understanding will stop every hand of enemies. 
An acclaimed believer with an understanding of constant praise for God will take a position not to be a victim of the enemy that confronts daily. Through the Bible, many wars were fought and won just by praising God.
He is worthy of your praise continually!
Joshua and the Israelites praised God with understanding to open up the securely Jericho as the wall of hindrance fell flat for the breakthrough of the Israelites. 
God is worthy of constant praise at all times and in all situations. 
God alone dwells in unapproachable light. 
Above all, God is the only GOD who inhabits eternity. He alone is the Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end; the ancient of days and the great I Am that I Am.
With understanding, be full of praising God consistently.

Prayer for today: Ask that God enable you with a heart-full of praising Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: Action is see-able, the evidence of having faith.

Mark 2:1-12

God is a jealous God. Deuteronomy 4:24 confirms, “For the Lord, your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.” 
Mark, it to know that the antidote for jealous is attention.
Are you giving God the kind of attention that provokes the hand of God in your favor? 
How is your action communicating your request before God?
A wise state, “Action speaks louder than a voice.”
The story of Hannah testifies to the truth that action speaks louder than voice.
Hannah was barren because the Lord closed her womb. (1 Samuel 1:5) During one of her trips to Shiloh, her action caught the attention of Eli. The Bible records, “And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth. Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.” (1 Samuel 1:12-13)  
The action of Hannah called on the attention of Eli.
Eli responded with prayer for Hannah by calling on God on her behalf to open up her womb. 
Are you looking up to God for an open door?
Matthew 7:7-8 speaks to all, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” 
Action speaks before God to gain the attention of God.
2 Samuel2:3 confirms, “For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him, actions are weighed.”
Gaining the attention of God is not in how loud to communicate in prayer. (This not saying it is wrong to pray out loud) Calling on God is encased in how the heart connects with God. Hannah spoke in her heart, and God hears the cry. 
Are you speaking from the mouth to impress any?
Action is seeable, the evidence of having faith. Faith is acting out the word of God, and God will hear.
Once, Jesus reacted to the action of a paralytic man that came to Jesus through the roof for healing. Mark 2:5 records, “When Jesus saw their faith; He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you” (Mark 2:5). Jesus saw the faith. Undeniably, faith is what is seeable because faith is an action. 
The response of Jesus to the faith of the paralytic man is called action. The action is a faith demonstration that testifies that God sees faith.
Keep the testimonies in the word of God. 
Keeping the testimonies of God will add the blessings of God. 
The psalmist admonishes, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!” (Psalm 119:2) One that keeps His testimony will know to be persistent by giving God all the attention. 
Give God all your attention and, He shall attend to you.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to live life by His word.

FAITH CAPSULE: By your way of life, do you rightly deserve the favor of God?

Genesis 39, Esther 2:1-18

God remembers with favor. Psalmist prayed, “Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation,” (Psalm 106:4)
Favor is what makes the difference in every journey of life. When God pours out His Favor on you, you shall live life for the glory of God.
The favor of God is with the grace which God freely grants. 
In the Bible days, so many experiences Favor, and today God is still finding men to grant His favor.
Are you one that looks up to God for His favor, His visitation for His salvation?
By your way of life, do you rightly deserve the favor of God?
God is merciful, and if you sincerely desire His favor, He will deposit His favor over your life.
Esther experienced the visitation of God not because she was perfect in the way of life.
Esther was an orphan that was raised by her uncle after her father and mother had passed away.
While at the palace of King Ahasuerus, Esther experienced the favor of God when Queen Vashti failed.
Queen Vashti lost it when she dishonored King Ahasuerus as the door of favor for Esther to become the queen.
Today, pray that a door of favor will open for you.
It happened that Esther was chosen among many women to become the queen in place of Queen Vashti. 
Esther 2:9 documents the channel of the favor Esther, “Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance. Then seven choice maidservants were provided for her from the king’s palace, and he moved her and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women.”
In your challenge, are you seeking the favor of any man or woman?
Esther did not need additional help because God was operating on her behalf. When the favor of God is in place, all that it takes for meeting every need will be in place. What you thought was a need shall become available for you. 
Favor is not your merit; it is God working on your behalf. 
Favor has no age barrier or any form of discrimination. Only God alone has the power to grant undeniable in the life of any as He desires. It is never too late for you to be blessed and highly favored because He is a faithful God.
Are you with the expectation of the favor of God?
Live life as Joseph.
Joseph live life for God, and he could not do great wickedness and sin against God. (Genesis 39:9)
Genesis 39:21 record the testimony of Joseph not sinning against God to provoke His favor, “But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” 
The favor of God is certainly not to become a victim of evil.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to walk with Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: See in the word of God you hear.

Jeremiah 1:1-16

The Bible makes it clear to all that the word of God is alive. 
Unlike the word of the world, the word of God alone is alive.
The word is active for the producer of the movie called The Passion of Christ, the producer was able to see life clearly about what Jesus went through in the word. After the producer must have read or hear the word, he produced the movie as if he was present at the time of Jesus.
The movie producer heard and able to see in the word of God.
To hear and see in the word of God will know to do before God.
It is not enough to hear the word when the picture of what the word says does not take root in your heart. 
God wants us to hear when He speaks to us.
Have you been studying (not just reading) but not gain an understanding of the word of God? 
In the documentation of the creation in the Bible, Genesis 1:3-4 records, “…God said, “let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good…”  If God can see in His spoken word, definitely God expects from all to see in His word. For all the creation of God, until there is an ability to hear and see in His living word, none will be able to receive from His word.
All that Jeremiah needed to resume his divine assignment was to see in the word of God; otherwise, he would have missed the calling for his life. “Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 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 1:9-10) Jeremiah received the word of God and able to see the purpose and plan of his life. 
The word of God you carry to the heart is the word you see as the power of God to bring about manifestation to the glory of God.
Moses did not move in the direction of God for His life until he was able to turn aside and see in the word of God. Exodus 3:3-4 records, “Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” (Exodus 3:3-4) Moses heard and saw in the word of direction to engage his divine assignment to the glory of God. 
The word you hear and keep to the heart you will do.
Proverbs 4:20-21 admonishes all, “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart.”
Give ear to hear, to see in the word of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask to begin to see whenever the word of God sounds in your direction. 

FAITH CAPSULE: The direction for your life to get you is in the word of God.

Acts 9

The word of God that speaks in your direction will not fail you in the journey of life if you will hear and do accordingly. The word of God in Isaiah 55:11 encourages, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” 
The word of God is unfailing, to guide, to deliver, and to preserve.
Are you giving yourself to the word of God?
Is it the world that you are giving yourself to direct you?
Give yourself to the word of God. 
The word of God you hear and certainly do will correct you to uphold you for the glory of God.
It was the word of God that sound for Paul the apostle that upholds him for the glory of God. 
Saul of Tarsus (Paul the apostle) was on his journey to wreak havoc on the disciples of the Lord Jesus in Damascus when the word of God locates him. Acts 9:3-4 records the encounter of Saul, “As he journeyed, he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
Saul questioned the voice that sounded his name, and Jesus introduced Himself to him. The bible records, “So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” (Acts 9:6)
Saul heard from the Lord Jesus what he must do.
Do you know what you must do to move you forward in the calling of God?
Has the word of God sound in your direction but not move you forward?
Have you been hearing the word but not do?
Matthew 7:26 records the word of Jesus that speaks to all, “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish…” 
Saul heard and did according to the word that sounds in his direction.
Saul changed to Paul, and from the moment of receiving instruction, Paul began to move in the direction of the calling for his life. Determination is not what will help, but the grace of God is what will get you into your divine assignment. The word of God promises that “He will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go and He will guide you with His eye” (Psalm 32:8). 
What to do in your life will get you to where you must be in the Lord. 
In every word that sounds in your direction, hear and do to live life for the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that God enable you to hear and do according to His word.
