FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is with power, is a living force that moves.

Genesis 15

The book of John 1:1 declares, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
The Word of God is God.
God sent His word for healing and deliverance. (Psalm 107:20)
The word of God is the power of God.
When the word of God goes as sent by God, it does not return void to God but shall accomplish. (Isiah 55:11)
The word of God has not failed and will not fail.
No man can hide from God’s word or deceive God’s word.
The word of God is magnified above all the names of God. (Psalm 138:2)
Who can stand against the word of God?
The word of God is like the fire that can burn out all that does not represent God.
The word of God is like the hammer that nothing can deny the break force of the word. Jeremiah 23:29 buttress, “Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”
The word of God is complete to transform, to build one that gives self to the word of God. Acts 20:32 records, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”
Is it your desire to be built up by God’s word, to live life for the glory of God?
Is it your understanding to be opened for the word of God?
It is encouraging to be opened for God’s word as Bible records, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.” (Psalm 119:130) In this wicked world that is covered by darkness, the word of God in one’s life will set one for a great exploit, to the glory of God.
God magnifies His word above all His name which identifies some characters of His word such as, the word of God does not sleep, it does not disappoint, it does not misdirect, it will locate any man in challenges, it is always on time and will perfect with performance for one that embraces with obedience.
The word of God is with power, is a living force that moves and not stagnated.
The word of God will come for you to free you from whatever represents prison of this life, that is holding you down from living for God’s assignment in your life.
The living word of God located Abraham with assured confidence against fear as stated, “…the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” (Genesis 15:1)
The word of God also located Abram with the boldness and character which prompted is hope not to be childless saying,  “And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.” (Genesis 15:4)
The word of God is alive to move for deliverance and preservation.

Prayer for today: Ask God for His word to locate you.

FAITH CAPSULE: God is keeping all consistently despite man’s inconsistency.

John 4:1-42

Continually, the care of God does not expire.
God is mindful of us to care more than we understand or know.
The care of God is His love as He declares, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)
The care of God is His gift for all that is conscious to accept and unwrap the gift of God. Jesus refers to Himself as the gift of God saying, “…If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” (John 4:10)
Consciously, do you care for God’s gift of love for you?
God cares with His salvation plan for all. Do you understand how much He cares for you as His child? David’s curiosity questioned in Psalm 8:4-6, “What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet…” The curiosity of David revealed the truthfulness of God’s care for all His creation.
God’s mindful for all man is the evidence that God is near to all.
Under heaven, no one can hide from God, regardless of how one works away from God (word of God), God remains near but not far from all.
Testimony of Deuteronomy 4:7 is the evidence that God is near, “For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?” Jeremiah 23:23 confirms that God is near, “Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord, “And not a God afar off?”
When God is near the presence of God is evident. However, sin will always keep a man from God that is near. Sin, not obeying God for correction to trust God will keep the sinner from God’s presence. Zephaniah 3:2 buttressed that sin will keep sinning man from His presence. It is written, “She has not obeyed His voice, she has not received correction; She has not trusted in the Lord, She has not drawn near to her God.” One outside of God’s presence because of sin does not keep one to be unreachable from God’s near. Is it your world around you that is the self-deception or self-denial that is keeping you from being conscious of God’s care for you?
God is mindful of all man. God is near to us and cares for all that care to live life by His word.
Living in the consciousness of God’s care is the evidence of faith; the expression of expectation for God’s divine protection at all time.
Be conscious of God’s care.

Prayer for today: Ask God for yourself to continually have the mind for Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: Before God, be a simple one with faith.

Proverbs 14

The exploit of the SIMPLE ONE is their living life by God’s word as a believer. Proverbs 14:15 buttress, “The simple believes every word…”  Understand of the word of God belongs to the SIMPLE ONE. The simple ones are the ones that give self to the word of God, to be-living (Believe) by God’s word continually. Psalm 119:130 confirms, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Are you an acclaimed believer that is not simple in your way of life, engaging the word of God?
Through the Bible, word of God identifies the believer of the word of God as SIMPLE.
The simple one believes enough to live life for the glory of God.
The word of God records the exploits of the SIMPLE ones:
Psalm 19:7, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” One that is simple is with God’s wisdom not to be a fool in this wicked world.
Psalm 116:6, “The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.” A simple one before God is certain to have a preserved life and the salvation of God.
Proverbs 14:15, “The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.” Simple one without prudent is not complete to claim the promises of God. Simple one MUST be with prudence.
Are you a simple one? An acclaimed believer, a simple one without prudence will experience punishment. Proverbs 22:3 warns, “A prudent man foresees evil and hides, but the simple pass on and are punished.”
The written word above is the reason for simple and prudence not to be separated to have life in all man.
Are you a believer, a simple one that is living life to please God?
One that pleases self, claiming to seek God is without faith.
A believer is a simple one that pleases God by their ways of life before God.
Simple one pleases God by having faith in God.
Pleasing God by the ways of life is the evidence of faith.
Enoch lives life pleasing God, Hebrews 11:5 buttresses, “By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”
To be a simple one before God is not by force but a choice that is wise for all living life in the ways of God. A simple one is rooted in giving self to the word of God, the source of faith.
A simple one will claim God’s promise as Hebrew 11:6 states, “But without faith, it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Before God, be a simple one with faith.

Prayer for today: Ask from God to be a simple one in your ways of life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Do not settle for knowing about God, get to know God!

2 Peter 1

Among reasons to seek him diligently is to know him not to only know about him.
Seeking to know God in His Word is the source of faith, to gain the understanding and to know God, having a profound relationship with God.
Seeking God diligently, to know Him is the reason to trust and hope in God.
Jeremiah 17:7 buttresses, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” Seek God to know Him, trusting and hoping in Him at all time.
It is certain, knowing that God knows you will prompt you to know Him and become build in Him, to the glory of His name.
Know Him to Know:
HE KNOWS ALL BY NAME
Assuredly, God knows all, why not seek Him to know Him and gain His presence? Isaiah 43:1 records, “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.” God said that we are His, why not approach Him boldly, expectantly as His?
HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU
Seek God diligently for Him to fight on your behalf in the physical or spiritual battle. Exodus 14:14 records “The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” The word of God is true to perform if one will know Him enough to know that He will fight on your behalf.
HE THINKS ABOUT YOU
A precious father does not stop thinking of all man even when any man places God out of mind. Psalm 139:17 stated, “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!” In His thought, He is good to man and He says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
HE IS ALWAYS WITH YOU
God does not lie or talk in waste. His word does not return to Him void. (Isaiah 55:11) God will not say what He will not do and that gives the assurance that God is always with all man till the end of the age. It is written in Matthew 28:20, “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Get to Know God, do as commanded by His word which is the assurance that He is with you always.
HE IS NOT A PARTIAL GOD
Give self to God in His word. Gain understanding and have the knowledge to be approaching God that was, God that is, the God forever. He is the unchanging changer that is not partial. Romans 2:11 said it well, “For there is no partiality with God.”
One that does not know God but to only know about God is not exposed to His revelation.
For your good, do not stop at knowing about God but know Him to know!

Prayer for today: Ask Him for self to know Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: In this wicked world, knowing God will mark you to live life for the glory of God.

John 8:1-47

Knowing God does not have an iota of doubt about God but to know God beyond doubt.
In this wicked world, put aside every logic or philosophy to believe that there is God. He is the Omnipotent, Omnipresent God with no reason to prove Himself, the testimonies of God speak loud to one that will hear Him.
Quoting the word of God or singing the name of God is not evidence of knowing God. Without knowing God, speaking loudly or acting love before God is deception.
Working in the name of God but not walking in His word does not know God but knows about God.
Many are making possible means for God, in the name of God but do not know God. Matthew 7:22-23 records Jesus’ response to such, claiming to know Him, “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?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!”
Does Jesus’ word speak to you?
Search yourself to identify self if: You KNOW GOD or YOU KNOW ABOUT GOD.
Among the reasons why you do not know God but only know about God is the lack of understanding and not believe Him.
Lack of Understanding:
A failure of giving attention will result in listening disability. Jesus questioned and answered why lack of understanding, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.” (John 8:43)
It is not possible to understand what or who you do not know. The world is too busy for self, and not to give attention to God. One that gives attention to God will listen to gain understanding, to know God for who He is. He is a good God, the One that reverses irreversible.
Forgetting attributes of God:
Forgetting attributes of God, not being thought about Him will not know God.  Deuteronomy 4:5-6 buttresses, “Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess. 6 Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding…” One that is not exposed to learn about God will not give attention to understand the attributes of God enough to know God.
Truth is not appealing:
Truth is not popular, is not acceptable to the world. It is not possible to know what is not accepted, not believed. John 8:45-47 records Jesus’ word that speaks the truth about not knowing God, “But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore, you do not hear, because you are not of God.” One that does not accept truth to believe does not know God that is true.

Prayer for today: Ask God that you want to know Him.
