FAITH CAPSULE: In the hand of God, there is an answer for deliverance and preservation.

Exodus 3

Without a doubt, the hand of God has brought you this far in your journey of life. Acknowledge God for His hand that is not short in keeping you.
Isaiah 59:1 record: “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear.”
The hand of God is what to trust and hope for over your life.
In your journey of life, this month and years to come, desire for the hand of God.
Prayerfully, continually, know to ask for the hand of God.
The word of God encourages all to give themselves continually to prayer and the ministering of the word. Why not pray the word of God that does not return to Him void?
Ask, reminding God to extend His hand to you, as He was extending in the Bible. God is not a partial God to deny your prayer but will answer yes, no, or wait.
God is not talkative, and the only thing God cannot do is that God cannot fail. Matthew 7:7 speaks to all, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” 
Ask that your current or the new month will answer for you as your month of the stretch-out hand of God, striking every representative of Pharaoh in your life. 
The hand of God did not fail when it brought the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. God is not a partial God, and He will not fail to answer your calling for His stretch hand.
In these coming days, weeks, and years, whatever it is that holds one down not to gain motion, experiencing stagnation, the stretch-out hand of God that you call for will not deny you in the name of Jesus. 
Exodus 3:19-20 records the word of God for the deliverance of Israel, 
” But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. So, I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders…”  There is no mighty hand that will militate against you when the stretch-out hand of God answers for you. Ask that God shall look upon you and your family to acknowledge all your endeavor in the name of Jesus.
In your new month, prayerfully meditate for the stretch-out hand of God for deliverance and preservation.
Is it your desire to experience the stretch-out hand of God over your life?
What one does not seek before God (that is good) is what one will not see to receive and become for such.
What one fails to claim will not be passed to one.
It is assurance in the word of God that what one does not think or ask will not be active in such.
God is not a careless giver, and it is what you desire before God is what God deposits in you.
Meditate on the word of God, and call the month as your month of the stretch-out hand of God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the stretch out hand of God over your life. 

FAITH CAPSULE: Before God, no excuse for sin or sinning.

Genesis 3

A failure not to do as commanded by the word of God is disobedient.
Every disobedient before God is sinning to God. 
With sin, no man can reach God. Disobeying the word of God does not have an excuse before God but only leads to a consequence. Romans 3:23 admonishes, “…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 
To become short of the glory of God is not to access the presence of God.
Is sin and sinning your way of life?
There is no legitimate excuse for one with sin before God.
Adam and Eve violated the word of God, and there was no reasonable excuse for their sin. 
Adam did not ask God for a helper when God created Eve as his helper. Genesis 2:20-22 confirms, “…But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.” 
The sin of Adam was rooted in the disobedient of Eve but was not a legitimate excuse before God.
Genesis 3:9-13 documents that God called on Adam for his sin and his excuse for sin: “Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”So, he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself.”And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
The sin of Adam does not have a reasonable excuse before God but called for the pronouncement consequences over Adam by God.
For your sin before God, are you counting on excuses before God? 
Be warned, know, and understand that sin and sinning are not excusable before God.
Title or role engaged before God will not count but bring painful consequences to the sinner, a disobedient to the word of God.
As a temple of God, are you taking care of your temple God? 
The word of God records, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16) Answering as a believer does not stop the consequence of God. 1 Corinthians 3:17, documents “If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” (1 Corinthians 3:17) Are you defiling the temple of God in you? 
Keep away from sin before God that always sees it all.
No excuse for sinning will excuse anyone from the consequences of sin.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you not to be a vessel of sin and sinning.

FAITH CAPSULE: Challenging trouble can be of affliction.

Psalm 3

Psalm 34:19 records to encourage against challenging trouble, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” For a righteous one, challenges will come, but the deliverance of God will manifest.
Among identified points that King David engaged for his deliverance in the time of challenging troubles are:
FIRSTLY, DAVID ACKNOWLEDGED 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 worshiping God instead of worrying over his challenging trouble. He acknowledged God for what God has done and could do at the time of challenge.
Acknowledging God in a troubling challenge is the way of thanking God to provoke the intervention of the deliverance hand of God.
Acknowledging God in a challenging time is a self-deliverance to overcome.
SECONDLY, DAVID CRIED TO GOD
David cried out to God alone, not to a man
Crying out to God will not elude one from God but will receive the attention of God for self-deliverance in times of Challenging trouble.
David testifies, “I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill.” (Psalm 3:4) Crying is not a sign of weakness but a way of getting the attention of God.
Often, pride will deny one from crying out before God, but David cried out to God with no spirit of pride.
The evidence of crying out before God with a voice is a cry from the depth of heart as David testifies that he cried to the Lord God. 
Crying out before God with a wide-open mouth should be with the expectation to be filled with manifestation. 
David testifies that the Lord heard him from His holy hill.
THIRDLY, THE TESTIMONY OF TRUST AND HOPE OF DAVID 
The Bible records testimonies of David, “I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.” (Psalm 3:5) 
In a time of challenging trouble, the trust of David in God made him lay with the hope, not to lose his sleep in the challenging of his life.
Trusting God at the onset of challenging trouble but not having hope in God can deny the testimony of deliverance. With understanding, David was with trust, hope to provoke the intervention of God.
Jeremiah 17:7 testifies of trust and hope, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.”
David laid and went to sleep in a challenging time just as Jesus lay and slept in His time of challenging trouble of the storm at His cross-over journey. (Mark 4:35-41) 
To gain victory in a time of challenge, have trust and hope in God.
Meditates on Psalm 34:19 to remain encouraged in challenging trouble that, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
God is a good God that delivers at all times in all challenges.

Prayer for today: Ask for the hand of God to become established over your life. 

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.
