FAITH CAPSULE: God reverses irreversible.

Psalm 3 

Worshiping God in the place of worrying is acknowledging God that reverses the irreversible in challenging trouble of times.
When trouble increases, it will become challenging trouble. 
It is challenging trouble that will persist to become a hardly resolved or to become permanent pain with whom or where it exists.
One that tolerates challenging trouble without expectation for self-deliverance is taking a position for pain in the journey of life.
Are you experiencing challenging trouble?
Challenging trouble demands deliverance for one with attention to address the root of the challenge trouble in the life of man.
Challenging trouble in the life of one can be the decisions made on behalf of one by the parents or grandparents or loved ones, not knowing the consequence of decisions made.
Also, the root cause of challenging trouble might have been out of the good intention to help with not becoming of pain.
What is the root of your challenging trouble?
Challenging trouble can be of affliction passed down from family in the journey of life.
However, Psalm 34:19 records to encourages against challenging trouble, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
Be conversant with the word of God as a manual of life that is with answers to reverse challenging trouble, to cease permanently.
In life, there is no man with an exception not to experience challenging trouble.
For example, King David, identified by God as a man after the heart of God, repeatedly experience challenging trouble but overcame it all. 
Psalm 3:1-2 testifies the evidence to the challenge of David, “Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.”
The Bible identifies how David came out of challenging trouble for learning: 
DAVID ACKNOWLEDGES GOD
Despite increasing challenges, David acknowledged the awesomeness of God, “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” (Psalm 3:3) 
David, in time of his challenging trouble, his worshiping of God was not distracted.
David gave himself to worship God instead of worrying over his challenging trouble when he acknowledged God for what God has done, and what He was doing in his life, the evidence of what God will do in his life. Acknowledging God in a troubling challenge is the way of thanking God, provoking the intervention hand of God.
The disobedience of Jonah to the word of God positioned him in challenging trouble. 
Jonah, like David, also acknowledges God when he looked up to God to remind God about how God has brought him far in life. 
Jonah acknowledges God as he promised to sacrifice before God with the voice of thanksgiving.
Acknowledging God is a self-deliverance to overcome challenging trouble.

Prayer for today: Ask God to activate you to acknowledge Him for His hand in your challenging time.

FAITH CAPSULE: Come out of sin to seek God diligently.

Exodus 32

A decorated name for sin is PRIDE. 
Pride is a personal ride to self-destruction.  
The desire to live life for the glory of God is seeking God diligently. 
One that follows the word of God does not despise Him but will take a position to see God. Despising the word of God will set one for self-destruction. (Proverbs 13:13) 
In life, one that is despising the word of God will sink into sin. 
With sin, man is not seeking God and will not see God. 
It is not possible to be seeking God diligently and be telling lies as a way of life, deceiving and manipulating others, expecting to see God. 
Does that speak to you?
With the life of all, there is nothing that is hidden from God because He hears and sees all. 2 Chronicles 16:9 make it know, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…”  Gain understanding and knowledge in the word of God that you cannot hide from God but to turn from sin, away from self-destruction.
Sin is a sin before God; sin can last for a thousand years, but a day is enough for God to expose a thousand years.
Are you conversant with telling lies, deceiving to manipulate your world? 
Despite your ways of sin, claiming the hand of God in your acclaimed deceptive miracle, know it that God will not overlook His judgment at His appointed time. Seek God diligently, come out of sin abhor iniquity. 
With your life of sin, deceiving your world by claiming His name, word of God warns, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” (Matthew 7:21-23) 
Your life of sin is not seeking God, but getting exposed to the devil, for self-destruction. 
There is no way a man can give acceptable glory to God with hidden lies while presenting lies as truth. Romans 3:7-8 testifies, “For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”? —as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.” 
Does the word speak to you?
Be truthful with no deception, come out of sin to seek God diligently.
Do you know any of your sins that can be a stumbling force against your seeking God, to see God? 
Is there any, repent for your redemption before God?

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to come out of sin, living life for His glory.

FAITH CAPSULE: Give your heart to fear God. 

The word of God is to enter, to occupy the heart of all, for all to live life for God.
The heart that it enters will fear God.
God treasures those who fear Him.
To fear God is with ones that have 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 one fears Him.
Fear God by your way of living life.
Living life by the fear of God is taking a position not to be a victim of a wicked world.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 points out the need for all to be living life by the fear 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?
In life, let the fear of God become 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)
To fear God in the heart will have a pleasing life before God.
Have a heart of fear for God to shun the evil not to have a place in you.
One that does not fear God will not abide in His command, to dwell in the presence of God.
Through the pages of the Bible, word records what will become of those who fear God:
“Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy.” (Psalm 33:18)
“The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.” (Psalm 34:7-9)
“And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.” (Luke 1:50)
Let the fear of God keep you under the eyes of God.
With the desire and determination to fear God without prayer will not work.
Today, get to understand and know in the promise of God that when you fear God, you will fear none before God to claim the promises of God.
The book of Isiah 41:10 speaks it to all, “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
Fear God is the will of God for all.

Prayer for today: Ask from God that you want to live life in His fear.

FAITH CAPSULE: What does it mean to follow God?

Genesis 22

With submission, give yourself to the word of God, follow Him not to miss the kingdom of God.
In the journey of life, there is no exception for rich or poor that does not follow God and make it to the kingdom of God.
In the journey of life, whatever a man is holding onto against the command of God will not follow God to make it to the kingdom of God. 
What are you holding on and not able to give yourself to the command of God?
Abraham is an example of a rich one that followed the command of God for him to sacrifice the life of his son. In his attempt to sacrifice his only son, God spoke to him in Genesis 22:12 records, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” 
Abraham fears God to follow the command of God, and God testifies the fear of Abraham for His name.
In your life, whatever holds you back from giving yourself to the word of God, will keep you from following God to miss the kingdom of God. 
Are you with desires to make it to the kingdom of God, a life of eternity?
Live life by following the command of God.
Elisha is another example of a rich one that left all to follow the calling of God over his life. When God called Elisha, through Elijah, he responded, “…Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you…” (1 Kings 19:20) At the initial answering of Elisha to the calling upon his life, he was reluctant to follow God because he was not ready to follow God. However, Elisha later gave up all to follow God as the Bible records, “So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.” (1 Kings 19:21)
In your journey of life, what is it that is holding you back from following God?
Is it your property or family that is holding you back from following God? 
Jesus identifies what it takes to follow Him, “…you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.” (Matthew 19:28-30)
From today, live life for God by following His command, to make the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God that is not a fiction.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to follow Him fully.

FAITH CAPSULE: Do you have the understanding of praising God?

Psalm 47

With understanding, praising, thanking God will stand before God as a reasonable sacrifice the evidence of seeking God diligently. 
The Bible testifies, “For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.” (Psalm 47:7) 
In life, giving an understanding to seeking God will grant access to God that is waiting to act for those who seek Him.
Are you praising or giving thanks to God with understanding?
With understanding, praising, and thanking God should be rooted in the heart but not at the tips of the mouth. 
Praising God is placing God gloriously high.
Continually praising or thanking God is seeking to be raised before the presence of God.
Praising God is not entertainment to impress a man but a vehicle to enter and locate God for His presence. Psalm 100:4 points it out, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise…” There is nothing to count on for gaining entrance to the presence of God as like praise worship that is sacrificing God diligently.
Praising God is not a display of talent before God, but a way of gaining a place in the presence of God. Psalm 22:3 buttresses, “But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.” Give self to praising God with understanding to gain His presence.
Praising God should be the character of a man to be positioned in the right order before God. Psalm 50:23 records, “Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.” Give God glory by living life of praising God for His.
Praising God with self-consciousness is understanding and knowledge to come out of self to give to God that creates all for His pleasure.
Psalm 69:30 records, “I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.” Giving self to praising God is seeking God diligently with the expectation to be raised before God. 
The seeking of God with praise by King David is evident in the bringing of the ark of God back to his city. Bible records, “Then David danced before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord…” (2 Samuel 6:14-16)
The manner of praising God matters as the mark of being mindful of God by David. He was praise-full and testified his way of life before God.
Are you praise-full before God?

Prayer for today: Ask from God for the understanding of God.
