FAITH CAPSULE: In your prayer, always expect for manifestation.

1Peters 4

Are you watching and praying with expectation for manifestation?
Having expectations for manifestation is the evidence of having faith.
In your watching and praying, let your faith for expectation and manifestation be activated, to provoke the move of God for your favor.
Expect for manifestation: 
Jesus, in His word, did not command all to pray but repeatedly command all to watch and pray. The Bible records, “Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41)
“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.” (Mark 13:33)
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.” (Luke 21:36) 
Disciples of Jesus request from all to watch and pray in Ephesians 6:18, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.” 
“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers.” (1 Peters 4:7)
The expectation for manifestation is the evidence of those who watch and pray, as commanded in the word of God, for all man.
To watch and pray before God is expecting with manifestation from God.
With watching and praying, heaven opened up for Jesus and His expectation for manifestation made Him have an encounter with God’s word, at opened heaven.
Bible records, “When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You, I am well pleased.” (Luke 3:21-22)
Jesus watched at His prayer to see opened heaven, and to see a dove in the form of the Holy Spirit that descended with a voice from heaven. 
Will you give yourself to be watching and praying, expecting the manifestation of your prayer? 
Once, a group prayed for rainfall to fall where rainfall has ceased.
As the rain fell, the group could not move forward, they were stagnated because the group prayed with no expectation for the rain to fall.
Interestingly, the youngest among the group was the only one with the expectation to experience manifestation for the prayer to have rainfall. 
Praying without watching is evidence of the lack of expectation for manifestation.
Are you praying without watching?
Praying without watching is not complete as commanded by the word of God for all to watch and pray. 
For self-deliverance, pray continually with understanding to experience opened heaven, watch and pray before God with expectation and manifestation to experience God’s doing in your life.

Prayer for today: Ask God to remember you with favor and to visit you with salvation.

FAITH CAPSULE: What is the place of watching and praying to rule your world?

Matthew 6

Start with a prayer: Ask for God’s mercy over your life that every step you have taken outside of God shall not deny your access to stand before God today.
Also, know to pray for His word to be established in your life this hour, in the name of Jesus.
Psalm 107:20 records, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
Pray, ask that the word of God that is healing, deliverance, and preservation will be established in you that you live life for the glory of God.
The evidence of living life to the glory of God is your spiritual empowerment, which is the place of watching and praying for you to rule your world.
What is the place of watching and praying to rule your world?
The place of watching and praying is to:
Pray with understanding.
Pray continually.
Pray with understanding:
Praying with understanding is seeking God to find Him.
The word of God specifically admonishes for understanding when seeking God. Psalm 47:7 records, “For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with understanding.”
Praising God demands to understand, so is praying or thanking also demands to understand.
Jesus at the time of His parables, He wanted to know if there is understanding saying, “…Are you also still without understanding?” (Matthew 15:16)
The importance of having an understanding is the reason that “The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.” (Psalm 14:2)
Are you praying with understanding to know that your prayer is not wasting your time but it is your time of waiting on God that waits to act for those who wait on Him?
Pray continually:
There is no man with the exception not to be praying to God continually.
Psalm 72:15 records, “…Prayer also will be made for Him continually, and daily He shall be praised.” The word of God speaks to one speaks to all and God should be praised continually speaks to all.
Praying to God continually is a sacrifice that demands giving self to God without excuse for not praying continually. Acts 6:4 records, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 buttresses, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Are you engaging in prayer continually with mindful of God, to find God?
In your watching and praying, let your faith for expectation and manifestation be activated, to provoke the move of God for your favor.

Prayer for today:
Ask for the grace of God, to increase your strength on the altar of prayer.
Ask that the open door of the goodness of God in your life shall not be accessible for any evil force, in Jesus’ name.

FAITH CAPSULE: Adam and Evil could not obey God’s command to avoid shame.

Genesis 2, 3

Shame that is rooted in sin against the word of God can impact the whole path of a person’s life not to arrive at God’s divine assignment in life, for the glory of God.
Shame, disgrace, embarrassment is not a place for a child of God. Shame is a product of sin which makes a man not to show face or makes man hide from taking a stand on a God-given ground. God gave Adam and Eve every good to make life answered as liveable in peace and not be exposed to wickedness. 
God gave His command to Adam for a way not to arrive at shame when He said, “…Of every tree of the garden, you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:16-17) However, Adam and Eve violated the command of God that was put in place to retain God-given ground. Adam and Eve gave to temptation by eating from forbidden which God commanded them not to eat. 
God has given what is good to all, in His given there no shame for obedient ones. The Obedient in His command is to live life with honor not to be dishonored. 
Are you obedient to His command to avoid shame?
The devil approached Adam and Eve, “And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’” Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:1-5) The temptation of the devil was the interaction for Adam and Eve to violate God. 
Adam and Eve violated God’s word and took a position in the world of sin.
Every thought or interaction against the word of God can be through a negative meditation or direct interaction with the agenda of the devil. Which negative thought or interaction against the word of God are you engaging that is against God?
Adam and Evil could not obey God’s command to avoid shame.
Bible records, “And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 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.” (Genesis 3:8-10)
Adam and Eve were ashamed as fear, nakedness caused them to hid from God. 
Given self, to hiding at God-given ground is the evidence of shame.

Prayer for today: Ask for God’s mercy to keep you from shame.

FAITH CAPSULE: God can deliver for a believing believer in challenging trouble.

Psalm 3, 34

When trouble increase it becomes challenging trouble. 
It is challenging trouble that will persist with an attempt to remain permanent in the life of one with challenging issues. 
One that tolerates troubling challenge is giving self to become terminated in the journey of life.
Are you experiencing challenging trouble?
Challenging trouble will question one with faith in God for deliverance.
Challenging trouble does not respect any man not to have a place in their life.
Challenging trouble in one’s life can be the cause of decisions made on one’s behalf by parents or grandparents.
Challenging trouble that is present in one’s life can be rooted in the wrong decision by one’s self.
What is the root of your challenging trouble?
Challenging trouble can be in the form of affliction when it locates one’s life. However, with the encouraging word of God in Psalm 34:19, troubling challenging can be permanently terminated as it records, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
What is your stand in the Lord? 
Are you walking right before God?
Challenging trouble is possible to have a place in anyone, regardless of one’s status in life. King David was identified as a man after God’s heart but could not escape from challenging trouble which increased in his life. 
As regards David, Psalm 3:1-2 records, “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 the records of David’s way he came out of challenging (increasing) trouble, for our learning: 
David acknowledged God 
David acknowledged God for His awesomeness by stating, “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” (Psalm 3:3) 
David gave himself to worship God instead of worrying over his trouble when he acknowledged God for what He has done and doing in his life.
David cried out to God alone.
Crying out to God will not elude from God, but will receive God’s attention for self-deliverance in time 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 God’s attention.
David’s testimony of His trust and hope 
The Bible records his testimonies, “I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.” (Psalm 3:5) 
In a time of challenging trouble, David’s trust in God made him lay, his hope in God made him sleep.
Trusting God at the onset of challenging trouble but not having hope on God when challenging trouble persists can deny the testimony of deliverance. David had trust and hope in God.
Jeremiah 17:7 identifies, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.”
David’s faith, not fear delivered him
David’s faith rose while his fear sinks for him to overcome his challenging trouble.
David’s testimony of his deliverance from challenging trouble is for learning.

Prayer for today: Ask God to reverse what appears to be irreversible challenges in your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Praising God is not entertainment to impress a man.

Psalm 150

Praising God is placing God gloriously high.
One that is praising God continually is praising God to become 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 recorded, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise…” There is nothing to be compared to entering God’s presence like praise worship which 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 buttressed, “But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.” Give self to praising God with understanding to gain His presence.
Praising God is the character of a man 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 God’s glory over your life.
Praising God with self-consciousness is understanding and knowledge to come out of self to give praise to God.
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 by God. King David sought God diligently, his praising of God was evident before God when he was bringing the ark of God back to his city. Bible records David’s praise, “Then David danced[g] 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)
David’s manner of praise before God testifies his praiseful way of life before God.
God raised David, and He identified David over King Saul. God spoke through Samuel, “…The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.” (1 Samuel 13:14) A man of heart praising God is a man of praising God just like King David. 
Praising God is not only in singing to God but can be a time of declaration of God’s awesomeness for what He has done, what He is doing and what He will do. Continuous praising God is a demonstration of faith that God cannot be limited in what He can do in the life of one that seeks Him diligently.
David declared what he was doing with praising God, “I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So, shall I be saved from my enemies.” (2 Samuel 22:4) Whoever declares God for His awesomeness shall be decorated by God.

Prayer for today: Ask God for your life of praising Him continually.
