JUST TO REMIND YOU

FAITH CAPSULE: You can remember the words to drive you right.

Hebrews 12

Are you in a position to take a look into the word of God?
With four points below, remind yourself to live life not to be a victim of the wicked world.
DO NOT BE STAGNATED BE UPGRADED CONTINUALLY
Isaiah 40:31 admonishes the importance of waiting on God, “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” When you observe yourself for not progressing as expected, or walking instead of running, then you know that your upgrading in the journey of life is not in place, becoming stagnated will position you as a victim of the wicked world. The word of God is the strength of God, give self to the word of God.
AVOID COMPLAINTS BEFORE GOD
Exodus 15:23-24 records, “Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore, the name of it was called Marah. And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”  The complaint of the Israelites against Moses was an indirect complaint before God.
The Israelites could not count on the blessing of God that brought them out of the bondage of over four hundred years.
If you can count the blessings of God over your life, there should be no place for complaining at where you are in your journey of life.
Avoid complaints! 
WAIT ON THE TIME OF GOD
Waiting on God is timeless. When waiting for the intervention of God, it can take a longer time of God than expected or a shorter time of God than expected to wait on God for manifestation.
The waiting that takes “Mr. A” with a short time before God is possible for “Mr. B” a long time to get an answer from God. David testifies, “I waited patiently for the Lord, And He inclined to me and heard my cry.” (Psalm 40:1) In your waiting on God, know that time belongs to God, not the clock of man.
Be patient for the time of God.
KNOW TO HIDE IN THE FACE OF CHALLENGE
Claiming to be a believer does not excuse you not to HIDE in a challenging situation. Jesus had to hide from challenges. In the recording of John 8:59, the life of Jesus was attempted “Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. “ 
Also, in John 12:36, Jesus spoke the truth that was bitter to accept so, He hides, “…These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.” Be wise, learn to live by the word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask from god to enable His word to become established in your life.

WORSHIPPING GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: Worshipping God is to separate self to God. 

Genesis 12

The will of God is for all to serve God, worshiping God. 
Worshipping God is to separate self to God. 
The love of things in the world will take away from the way not to worship God. 
Are you giving yourself to worship God or setting yourself to the love of the world?
Worshipping God will engage the will of God to abide in God. The book of 1 John 2:15-17 buttresses, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” 
Worshipping God is separation to God, and it is evidence of believing God. To be separated unto worshipping God is a way to find God. 
Are you seeking God while surrounded by the filth of the wicked world? Separate yourself to God, and be diligent in serving Him to locate and gain His presence.
God demands all to seek Him diligently because He is a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently. (Hebrews 11:6) 
Separation unto His command is always a high order of worship whenever man obediently gives self to the word of God. 
Abraham was separated to God as commanded by God when he answered the calling of God to depart his country, his family, to an unknown land to him. (Genesis 12:1-2) Every separation to God counts before God and will count for an uncommon assignment. 
The separation of Abraham to the word of God was accounted to him for righteousness because it was evidence that he believed God. (Romans 4:3)
When a man conspicuously responds to the word of God by denying engagement to the love of the world, it becomes a separation to God. 
Give yourself to worshipping God. 
Separation to God is the avenue that leads to assessing and possessing all that God has in place for any that can obediently separate to Him. 
God is not a slave master that forces man to worship Him. However, God will call one to give to worship while the choice to answer belongs to man. Abraham could not substitute anything for answering to worship God but separated himself to every word of God. 
As an acclaimed believer, are you separating to the word of God? 
What are the things in the world at the center of your life? 
What is it that is denying you to worship God?
Until a man is empty of things of the world, there will be no space for God to occupy in the life of man.
Worshipping God is living godly. Godliness is counting on nothing but the One that sustains the breath of life.

Prayer for today: Ask from God to enable you to live the life of worshipping Him.

THE ORDER OF GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: Know to remind God to found Him.

Isaiah 43

The order of God, is the direction, directive, the demand of God in the journey of life for all, not to live a life of waste.
Living life outside of the order of God is the route of untimely death.
Hezekiah was out of order before God and set for an untimely death. He prayed to God for his deliverance, and God answered by sending the Prophet Isaiah to him for his restoration from death. (2 Kings 20:1-6)
Among the ORDER of God is: know to remind God.
Know to remind God:
God demand in Isaiah 43:25-26, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.”
God is true to His word if you will give self to the word of God.
Through the pages of the Bible, it is clear that God does not forget but expects all to remind Him.
He Is God that remembers.
God rained and, it flooded the world of Noah forty days and night.
God remembered Noah in the flood of water of sin and affliction and subsided.
Genesis 8:1 record, “Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.”
God waits to act for waiting on Him (Isaiah 64:4)
Ask, seek and Knock is the order of God for all not to be in disorder, it is the direction, directive, the demand of Jesus (Matthew 7:7)
Ask, seek, and knock is to Pray, watch while knock with expectation for manifestation.
Asking is waiting, and you should ask from Him according to His word.
King David was a man after the heart of God, and he knows to remind God. In Psalm 25:6-7, David says, “Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.”
Besides King David, Psalmist also reminds God in Psalm 106:4, saying, “Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation.” 
All should learn from the word of God to learn, know, and do, to claim the promise of God.

Pray for self and family 
Ask that flood of affliction that does not represent God in your life be subsided permanently in the name of Jesus.
Ask against the rain of affliction with an attempt to interrupt the calling of God in your life be ceased.
Ask God to remember you with favor, and visit you with salvation.

TO WATCH AND PRAY

FAITH CAPSULE: Live life in the order of God.

1 Kings 18

Another order of God that is His direction, directive, demand from all not to be a waste in living life is the word of Jesus that says, “WATCH AND PRAY”
There is no place where Jesus demand from all to pray but only demands from all to “WATCH AND PRAY”
A believer praying without watching or watching without praying is out of the ORDER of God and will miss the visitation of God to live in disorder.
Believers are Simple knows to pray but not watch as a Prudence one. Proverbs 14:15 describes them, “The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.”
Believer (simple) that pray but not watch is without PRUDENCE, and not in a position to be saved in trouble times. Proverbs 22:3 testifies, “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.” 
Prophet of God, Elijah demonstrates what it means to watch and pray.
Elijah prayed and watched for the rain to fall after he had prayed to cease rain. 
Elijah watched and prayed seven times so as not to miss the move of God for an answer.
1 Kings 18:42-44 documents Elijah’s praying and watching for rain, “And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, 43 and said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing.” And seven times he said, “Go again.” Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.”
Order in the Word of Jesus repeatedly states, 
Mark 13:33, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.” This for all us not to sleep to miss the coming back of God.”
Mark 14:38, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 
The importance of praying and watching documents in Luke 21:34-36 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
1 Peter 4:7, “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.”

Prayer for today: Ask from God to enable you to seek Him by watching and praying according to His word.
Ask that God will make you live in the order of His word.
Now, plead for the mercy of God to re-position you in His order.

BE IN ORDER

FAITH CAPSULE: In the word of God, get your self in order.

Numbers 20

The word of God is in order, and the word of God is consistently constant to bring orderliness to life.
Are you approaching life by keeping the order of God, not to fail?
In the word of God, there is no compromise to displace order with the disorder. 
From January till today, placing disorder in the place of the order will deliver a negative result. 
In life, nothing that is not good is bound to bring out no good. 
As an acclaimed believer of the word of God, there should not be an excuse to give self to disorder. 
If you have started the journey of the year in order, there is a need to maintain orderliness to experience a positive result. 
How did you start the year in order? 
Have you switched to disorder this year? 
If yes, you are bound to set outside of the purpose of God for your life.
With God in place as the leader, there should be order in place. 
Allow God to take the leadership of your life?
Psalm 32:8 encourages the promise in the word of God that says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” 
God waits to lead in the life of all that will give self to His leadership that is never by force but by choice.
God is God, and He is God that acts for those who wait for Him.
Today, in your journey of life, know it that the order of God is direction, like the password that will access all to a breakthrough in the journey of life. In life, challenges such as opposition, hindrance, confusion are inevitable, but giving self to the order of God is the overcoming way.
Walking in disorder will deny one from getting to the promise of God.
In life, no man is above giving to the order of God.
Once, Moses received an order from God but delivered it in disorder.
Numbers 20:8 records the order of God for Moses, “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.”  
Moses gave himself to disorder when he struck instead of speaking to the rock, and he called the people rebels. 
To be out of the order of God is to be out of direction to the promise of God. Moses was to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land but could not step into the Promised Land.
There is no status before God that will excuse for walking in disorder, outside of the order of God.
Today, place yourself in order in the word of God to reach the calling of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the mercy of God to keep you in place of order of God.
