FAITH CAPSULE: What you do not understand will not work for you.

Psalm 139

Lack of understanding is the evidence of not having a knowing edge (Knowledge)
One the ack understanding is with the lack of knowledge.
The book of Hosea 6:4 speaks to all, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
Are you claiming God and not know Him?
One that does not know God but only knows about God is not living life by the word of God because there is no understanding, the evidence of the lack of knowledge.
With understanding, knowing God will give self to seeking God diligently.
Are you seeking God casually?
Are you pleasing self instead of pleasing God in your service to God?
Prayerfully, ask God to prompt your understanding, to fill you with the knowledge of His word.
From today, begin to know the reasons why God should be known.
Among reasons to seek Him diligently is to know Him not to only know about Him.
Seek God diligently in His Word the source of faith to trust and hope in God.
ALL MAN SHOULD TRUST AND HOPE IN GOD
Jeremiah 17:7, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” Seek God diligently to know Him, trusting and hoping in Him at all time.
HE KNOWS ALL BY NAME
Isaiah 43:1 buttressed, “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.”  The knowing of all by God is the to seek Him, to know Him and gain His presence. God’s word points it out that all belong to Him and should approach Him boldly, expectantly as God that cares.
HE KNOWS ALL BY NAME
Isaiah 43:1 buttressed, “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 knows all, why not seek Him to know Him and gain His presence. God said that we are His, why not approach Him boldly, expectantly as His? HE WILL FIGHT FOR US
Seek God diligently for Him to fight on your behalf in the physical or spiritual battle. Exodus 14:14 encourages all that will know that: “The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
HE THINKS ABOUT YOU
God is a precious father whose thought sets on the man while the walks of man are outside of His word. Psalm 139:17 stated, “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!”
Jeremiah 29:11 also testifies that God is good to man, “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.”

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

FAITH CAPSULE: Give no regard to fool that tells you to be regretful for living life for God

Psalm 37

The creation of all by God is to live life for His glory.
As the Lord God’s creation, you must live life according to His will.
With mockery, fool of this world will question you, “In your journey of life, how long will it take you to be established for God’s glory in your answering to His calling? The best answer for a fool is to state, “The far you have come in the journey of life, by God’s grace is the priority that is prompting you to give glory to God.” Giving God to God is the evidence of one that thinks. Thinking of God’s doing is the root of thanking God continually, the character of one that is mindful of God.
The enemy is the orchestrator of the foolish question to discourage all from living life for God’s will. The word of God in Psalm 14:1 identifies fool, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.”
Is there any question to discourage your faith in God’s calling over your life?
Are you in a position of regret for living life for God?
When a fool tells you to be regretful for living life for God, your response should be that you only regret for not haven’t been living life for God earlier than when you started answering to God’s calling.
God can make and un-make, He alone is the unchanging changer, He alone will reverse the irreversible.
You did not create yourself. Your journey of life is the calling of God which is your only creator.
Your calling by God for His divine assignment will come as a process for His purpose over your life. In His calling, if you are not connected to God continually with your concentration on God’s calling, you are set for failure.
In your God’s calling, dwell and abide in His direction, the evidence of concentrating on God’s calling.
God has a calling for all man with a different assignment.God created all for His purpose, for His glory.
God’s word confirmed that our Lord God is worthy to receive glory and honor and power. He created all things to exist for His glory. (Revelations 4:11) Whatever God calls you for, or when He calls you for His purpose, to send you will mark you as a candidate for His blessing.
His calling will break you at the initial stage of calling but will no doubt turn to God’s blessing when obedient is in place.
The ones He breaks are meant to be blessed.
His breaking comes along with His blessing.
In the time of His calling, He will never leave you broken if you answer His calling faithfully.
Psalm 37:14, “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.” Give self to God’s word.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to continually disregard the fools in your way.

FAITH CAPSULE: As an acclaim believer of God’s word, are you twisting the truth?

Proverbs 19

Truth is the way and the life.
John 14:6 records, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
The truth of God is the word of God.
Are you twisting the truth of God?
By your word or by your action, are you adding or taking away from the word of God?
Revelation 22:18-19 warned, “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Twisting the word of God is adding or taking away from the word of God.
Twisting the truth of God can be lying in the place of telling the truth. Twisting is evil that needs to be put away in one’s life. Deuteronomy 19:19 buttress, “…so you shall put away the evil from among you.” Acclaimed believers and unbelievers of God’s word twists the truth to DECEIVE, to STEAL, to MANIPULATE, to BEAR FALSE WITNESS and to DEMONSTRATES INCONSISTENCY in the word of God.
Are you twisting the truth of God?
As an acclaim believer of God’s word, are you twisting the truth?
Be warned, stay away from twisting the truth of God, give self to the word of God as a warning not only for arousing emotion. Colossians 1:28 buttress, “Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.”
By your way of life, search yourself to determine your stand before God.
Twisting the truth of God is a decision made to live a life of evil, and not of God. Jesus spoke in John 8:42-47, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore, you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
Twisting the truth of God is the evidence of not listening to the truth but giving attention to lying.
Twisting the truth of God is the evidence of accepting the devil as a father.
Twisting the truth of God is doing the will of the devil.

Prayer for today: Ask God to uphold you in the truth of His word.

FAITH CAPSULE: Receive coming word of God!

1 Kings 17

The living word of God that moves will locate one with warning as direction for deliverance and preservation.
One with the hearing of the word of God that comes will have the faith of God. Romans 10:17 testifies, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Without hearing by the word of God, the word of God will depart and not build you in the faith of God.
Through the pages of the Bible, the coming word of God entered some, and with obedience, great exploits were the mark before God
What denies the word of God’s access into your life?
Elijah did great exploit when he called off rainfall and the word of God located him for his preservation. 1 Kings 17:1-6, documents Elijah’s opening to the coming word of God, “And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.” Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,  “Get away from here and turn eastward and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.  And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” So he went and did according to the word of the Lord, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.  The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.” (1 Kings 17:1-6) Elijah was opened to the coming word of God for his deliverance and caring provision, and could not become a victim of wicked Ahab.
It was also the coming word of God that gave direction for Elijah’s survival of his journey when God’s word sent him to call down rain, “And it came to pass after many days that the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth.” (1 Kings 18:1)
Just as the coming word of God located Elijah and he could not become a victim of the wicked world, Jonah exposed himself to affliction because of his disobedience to the word of God, “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. ” (Jonah 1:1-3)
Jonah denied the coming word of God to depart from the presence of God when he landed in a stormy sea which positioned him in great fish for three days and three nights.
Give self to coming word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask from God to have you open for His word when it sounds in your direction.

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 alive to move for deliverance and preservation.

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