FAITH CAPSULE: To be asking for the mercy of God should be as in thanking God 

Romans 9

To be asking for the mercy of God should be as in thanking God to provoke the mercy of God.
Psalm 150:6 states,Let everything that has breath praise the Lord; it is also worthy, pleading for the mercy of God at every breath.
Just as power belongs unto God, mercy also belongs to God.
The mercy of God means God is compassion or kind forbearance that never runs out.
The mercy of God is His loyal love.
Only God is in a position to render mercy unto all, unfailingly.
The mercy of God, not any man’s merit, is the reason God answers.
God cannot be intimidated or manipulated by any of His creation for the release of His mercy.
God declared and was testified of in Romans 9:14-16, “…I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion. So, then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.”
The mercy of God cannot be questioned for having mercy for whom He has mercy for.
With understanding of how God gives mercy prompts to provoke His mercy on self.
It was with mercy that God led the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. The Bible records, “You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed…” (Exodus 15:13)
One led by the mercy of God shall excel to the glory of God.
Understand and know to remind God that He does not forget.
What God has done for one will do for one who reminds Him of what He is doing.
Reminding God is not evidence that God forgets.
Isaiah 43:26 records the word of God that encourages all to remind Him, to provoke His doing in one with understanding of Him.
God speaks to all, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.” (Isaiah 43:26)
Understand how to ask and know how to provoke God.
Remind God of His mercy to Joseph.
Joseph avoided sin; he did not sleep with the wife of His master.
Genesis 39:21 records the consequence of Joseph not sinning against God, “But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him MERCY, and He gave him favor…”
God is not a partial God to look away from one who understands and knows to ask Him.

Prayer for today:
Ask God that it be your way of life to be asking Him for His mercy. (In the mercy of God is deliverance and preservation of God.)
Ask God to enable you not to run out of the mercy of God that does not expire.
Ask that God enable you to live a life that counts before Him to gain His mercy. (Romans 9:14-16 records that God will have mercy on whom He chooses to.)

FAITH CAPSULE: God is faithful; His word is a done deal.

Joshua 6

With faith, what you are engaging before God that is yet to become manifest is not evidence that God does not hear and will not answer.
Faith is to know that God HEARS TO ANSWER.
Keep calling on God; do not stop seeking God; this is the evidence of faith in engaging God.
Be persistent in engaging before God; resist the delay of manifestation to insist on God, who is not partial to do for one and will also do for all that call on Him.
Peter testifies, “In truth, I perceive that God shows no partiality.” (Acts 10:34)
Romans 2:11 declares, “For there is no partiality with God.”
God is faithful, and you have faith!
God has done it for you.
Do not shy away from testifying to all that has been done in your life.
Keeping the testimonies of God is sharing the testimonies of God.
Vice versa, sharing the testimonies of God is keeping the testimonies of God.
Psalm 119:2 informs all, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!”
Do not stop testifying of God.
God is the perfect One, the unfailing Creator who does not sleep nor slumber but will convert impossibility to possibility. 
Luke 1:37 testifies, “For with God nothing will be impossible.”
God reverses the irreversible, and with God, concerning your challenges, the impossible shall answer to the possible.
Also, know that God is the unchanging changer; He is the same God yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
God is not a partial God to anyone who will understand and know God by His way, for His way is through His word.
The record of the word of God is for healing and deliverance. 
Psalm 107:20 testifies,“He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
Approach God with what you are asking from Him.
The word of God is His testimony.
The word of God is His work.
The word of God encourages all to command Him concerning His word. (Isaiah 45:11)
The word of God also demands, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.” (Isaiah 43:26)
At all times, with faith, remind God that He is not a partial God.
The Israelites came out of the bondage of over four hundred years in Egypt, going to the promise of God, to the Promised Land.
Pharaoh failed to hold them back, and the Red Sea could not deny them or drown them.
However, the wall of Jericho attempted to derail and displace the promise of God over the Israelites but failed.
What denies, derails, or displaces in your life? 
Put God in remembrance to deliver you as He delivered the Israelites.
With understanding and knowledge, remind God, who does not forget.

Prayer for today: Ask that the mercy of God over your life shall not cease.

FAITH CAPSULE: It is worth answering the calling of God.

1 Samuel 3

Answering God’s calling, prayerfully engage it.
The calling of God is massive for one who is called.
The challenges of life are not enough to stop the called from God’s assignment.
However, there are forces in place that attempt to delay or deny the called one from hearing and answering God.
The Challenge of Samuel delayed him in answering God.
SAMUEL AT HIS CALLING
Samuel was ministering in the house of God when he was called.
At his calling, the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation.
At the first calling, Samuel answered wrongly, thinking Eli called him, and he said to Eli, “Here I am, for you called me. And he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” And he went and lay down.” (1 Samuel 3:4-5)
Samuel could hear but could not answer.
Answering wrong will reposition one wrongly.
He hears but yet runs wrong.
Have you answered wrongly?
Are you in the right position to answer your calling?
God reverses the irreversible; ask for His mercy not to answer wrongly.
At the second calling, Samuel could not answer appropriately; he went back and lay down to sleep.
Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him. 
1 Samuel 3:7 records, “Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him.”
Know God, not just know about God, to receive the revelation of God. 
Ask that God will enable you to know Him and to receive His revelation over your life, to position you in the center of his divine assignment. 
Ask that the Lord God shall deliver you from the forces that send you back, sleeping in the place to be awake, moving forward to His calling, to be active for His glory.
At the third time of calling, Samuel ran to Eli and was redirected by Eli saying, “Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.’” So, Samuel went and lay down in his place.” (1 Samuel 3:9)
Eli directed Samuel right, saying: YOU MUST SAY, SPEAK LORD.
Samuel now knows what he must do for him to hear from God.
Ask God to enable you to know what you must do, to hear and answer the calling of God over your life.
At the fourth time of the calling of God, Samuel knew to do the right instead of running wrong.
Samuel responded to the fourth calling as directed by Eli, his overseer; the servant of God spoke to him.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will have mercy to speak again in every juncture you have missed His callings over your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: More than ever before, plead for the mercy of God.

Isaiah 43

Understand that you are pleading for the mercy of God.
The world is getting wicked.
God is the perfect creator of all.
All should understand God to know God, not just know about God.
One who lacks understanding of God will not know how to provoke God to gain His attention at every point of need.
For example, to gain the mercy of God will set one to live as an overcomer in the wicked world.
With understanding, to gain the mercy of God will make one live for the glory of God.
The ways of God in place to engage the mercy of God are not to perish.
Not to perish is to have knowledge.
One who does not understand God will not have the knowledge not to perish.
Hosea 4:6 records the warning signal, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
Job understood God and knew to plead for God’s mercy.
Job did not live a life of sin before God, but understood and knew to plead with God for mercy.
With understanding, know that God is a caring God who waits to act for those who wait on Him. (Isaiah 64:4)
Waiting on God is to remind God concerning His work, to attain His mercy.
Isaiah 43:26 records the saying of God,“Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.”
God said, “And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.” (Isaiah 45:11)
Evidently, with understanding, seek God to gain His mercy.
The mercy of God is attainable when one asks or pleads for His mercy:
God identified Job as a man with none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and shuns evil.
In life, nothing qualifies anyone not to plead for the mercy of God when challenges take place.No one is above asking God to gain His mercy. 
Despite the stand of Job before God, he knows to plead for mercy before God: “For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I would beg mercy of my Judge” (Job 9:15). 
Job pleaded for mercy. He is with the integrity of the heart before God, which does not excuse him from pleading to attain the mercy of God.
Just like Job, the Psalmist had to plead for the mercy of God, “Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death.” (Psalm 9:13). 
Nothing qualifies anyone not to plead for mercy before God.
Do you understand God to be holding on Him by His word?
With faith, not doubt, understand God, know Him (not just quoting His word)
With understanding, one is bound to remind God takes the position to gain the presence of God.
God is not talkative like man; God remembers His word, not that He forgets.
Pleading for the mercy of God should be a signature tune for all, as in meditating prayerfully before God to gain His merciful non-stop in a wicked world.

Prayer for today: Prayerfully meditate asking for the mercy of God.

Mercy belongs to God!
God, having mercy on whom He has mercy on, is unquestionable.

With understanding, constantly give regard to God.
Are you giving regard to God for His mercy over your life?
