FAITH CAPSULE: Claiming to live for God is seeking Him diligently.

Deuteronomy 4

Do you know what or who you are living for?
Know that all is living (exists) for God, the creator of all.
Revelation 4:11 states, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”
All owes God to live for God.
God does not owe no one yet He has given all that is needed to live for Him.
Are you living for God or living for yourself?
The grace and mercy of God have brought you to be alive this year, not because you know how to live life.
Make the right choice, and upgrade your life to live for God.
Live life doing what the word of God asks all to do.
The word of God demands all to be obedient to the word of God.
From today, make the right choice to live life by the word of God and not become a victim of the evil of a wicked world.
What kind of a believer are you?
One who does not live life for God is the evidence of not knowing God.
Why not have the desire to live life for God?
Determination is not enough to live life for God.
The desire with prayer will make one live life for God.
Peter was determined not to deny Christ.
Peter denied Jesus three times, but the prayer of Jesus worked out for Peter not to become a victim of denial for knowing Christ. (Luke 22:32-61)
Living life for God demands giving self to the word of God continually and praying to walk worthy of living life for God.
Living life for God is seeking God diligently. 
With desire, live life for God to find Him.
Deuteronomy 4:29 states, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” 
“Jeremiah 29:13 records, “And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”  
If seeking God to find God is not possible, God would not have asked for seeking Him diligently.
Live life for God, seek Him diligently and find Him. 
Living life for God is not a thing of mouth or religion but abiding by God.
To abide in God is the character of one who lives for God, which Jesus demands from all. 
John 8:31 records, “…If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.” 
Claiming to be a believer and not abide in Him is a joke, which is a ceremonial religion. 
Today, live life before God and answer as manifestation, son of God.  

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live life for the glory of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: God terminates challenges.

Mark 5

The challenges of life prompt pain in life.
When or where challenges remain persistent, they become a burden, and the carrier labors silently or loudly in pain. 
Are there any persisting physical, spiritual, or emotional challenges in your life?
God can terminate any challenge for one who looks up to him for his intervention.
A woman with a blood issue could not receive healing from any physician until she came across Jesus.
The Bible records, “Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.” (Mark 5:25-27)
For twelve years, a woman experienced un-wanting pain. 
On top of her pain, she spent all, and yet no healing answered for her. 
Are you experiencing silent pain from the issue of life?
Pain can be a combination of labor and follows one in the life journey.
The healing healer did not discourage all but only encouraged if one with pain gave oneself to the word of healing truth.
Matthew 11:28 records healing and encourages the word of God, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and you will find rest for your souls.” 
The healing healer is the same yesterday and today, and forever give yourself to the word of God for your healing like the woman with the issue of blood. 
If she had not come to Jesus, her burden would have remained over her life. 
Jesus was not telling jokes, neither was He sharing fables when He declared in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and you will find rest for your souls.”
What is stopping you from taking your concern to Him today?
Is your past discouragement in the place to discourage you from getting your healing?
A woman with the blood of twelve years did not resist going for her healing. 
Leviticus 15:19 states, “If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall be set apart seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.” 
The law in Leviticus 15:19 could not stop her from going after Jesus, but she went further to receive her healing.
At the approach of Jesus by the woman with the issue of blood, every available route in the front to reach Jesus was crowded but not enough to discourage the woman. The woman came behind Jesus in the crowd and was able to touch His garment.
Location or your distance to the healer is not enough of a hindrance when you seek God for your healing to your healing.
With the extent of your pain, Jesus can heal and give you rest.
The woman with the issue of blood sought the healer diligently, and she received her healing.
Today, seek God the Healer diligently, and you shall receive your healing.

Prayer for today: Ask for healing by the word of God to sound in your direction.

FAITH CAPSULE: Let it be your character to engage the chance to help. 

Luke 10:29-37

One who lives by the word of God is the character of devotion to the word of God.
Let it be your character engaging the chance to help for the glory of God.
Will you give out your help to the needy for the glory of God?
Jesus did not just tell the parable of the Good Samaritan but responded to an unknown lawyer trying to test Jesus, saying, “…Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (Luke 10:25) 
Jesus answered the lawyer, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’”(Luke 10:27) 
Jesus responded to the answer by the lawyer with the parable of the Good Samaritan.
The parable was about a man who fell among thieves and was left half-dead after being beaten and stripped naked. 
Jesus stated that a priest and a Levite were in a position to help the man who fell among thieves.
However, both passed at the scene of the thieves. 
The priest and a Levite had the chance to demonstrate what it means to show the love of God and be qualified to inherit eternal life. 
Luke 10:31 records, “Jesus said, now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”  Jesus pointed out that it was a chance for the priest and a Levite to act the love that they were preaching. 
Both the priest and the Levite missed their chance to demonstrate caring love. 
A Samaritan, a much-hated neighbor of the Jews, had compassion and did not pass without demonstrating what it means to love neighbor as self. 
The Good Samaritan positioned himself as qualified to inherit eternal life. 
Taking a chance was a favorable circumstance, and the Samaritan helped the man suffer at the hands of thieves as his neighbor.
The word of Jesus counts before God.
The Priest and the Levite had their chance but could not show the love of God and were not qualified as candidates to inherit eternal life. 
Have you been passing over your chances? 
A priest and Levite missed their chance. 
Imagine anyone following and looking up to the priest and the Levite at the time of their passing. 
The word of Jesus points to the truth that the task counts, not the title.
The priest or the Levite working in God does not demonstrate possible with the care that cannot be before God. 
The priest or the Levite working in God does not demonstrate possible with the care that cannot be before God. 
All should know to be looking up to Jesus and not to a priest or Levite. Jesus is the author and finisher of faith and will not mislead anyone representing Him. 
Do you desire eternal life? 
Devote to the word of God, and you will not miss eternal life.

Prayer for today: Ask for the hand of God upon you so as not to miss the chances for the glory of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Do not be distracted from answering the calling of God.

Jeremiah 1, Acts 9:1-9

When God calls you, He will back you.
Do you know that?
Do you know how to answer His call without doubt?
1 Thessalonians 5:24 states, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”
In the calling of God, there is direction to guide that request for obedience.
Are you called by God or by the world?
God is a God of order and will not call you without giving you direction.
Are you experiencing challenges in your calling? 
In life, challenges are unavoidable when there is a miss in hearing one bound not to arrive at the calling of God.
Jeremiah and the apostle Paul were examples of the call of God. 
The calling of God over Jeremiah and Paul was to settle them for the center of their divine assignment.
Just as the vehicle cannot progress without fuel, so it is that without the direction of God, one cannot arrive at the calling of God.
The obedience of Jeremiah and Paul to the word of God was the root of the direction to arrive at the calling of God.
When God called Jeremiah, emotion did not hinder his answering to God.
Jeremiah 1:7-8  records,“…Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you…”  
The direction of God and the obedience of Jeremiah caused him to become established in the calling of God.
The calling of God over the life of Paul is not the same as the calling of Jeremiah. 
He was on his way against Jesus, and the Bible records, “Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.” (Acts 9:1-2) 
When He called Paul, it was with the light of God. 
The light sought him out on his way to commit more crimes against the Lord. 
Paul is an example of one who can not run from God and hide.
The calling of God and direction was in place for Paul.
Paul did not miss out on direction but received direction by stating in Acts 22:10, “So I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise and go into Damascus and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.’”
From where you are, it is not too late to ask God to show you His way.
Do not run from the calling of God over your life.
Answering the calling of God will set one to arrive at the divine assignment.

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver for the distraction that denies one to answer to His calling.

FAITH CAPSULE: The presence of God inhabits the rest of God.

Exodus 33

Today, more than ever, is to walk in the way of God to gain and retain His peace.
Have the peace of God and not be a victim of the wicked world.
The presence of God is His word, His peace that does not fail for one that gives self to His word.
Prayerfully, Moses answered the calling of God in his leading of the Israelites, “…I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” (Exodus 33:13)
God responds to the prayer of Moses, “And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Exodus 33:14)
In the way of God is His presence.
The presence of God inhabits the rest of God.
The word of God is His presence.
The character of the rest of God is the peace of God.
In this challenging world of wickedness, determination is not enough to gain and retain the peace of God, but with desire, God deposits.
One that gives self to prayer and the word of God will gain and retain the peace of God.
In the pages of the Bible, some pointers lead to learning in the way of God to gain and retain the peace of God.
Romans 15:4 encourages all, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”
Among the documentation of the word to learn, gain, and retain the peace of God are:
Abide in the word of God.
John 8:31-32 records, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  
The word of God is truth. 
Do you know God or know about God? 
Knowing about is not the same as knowing the truth. 
Know the truth that makes a believer not to be a liar, deceiver, or manipulator and not run in the place to walk.
Know the truth, fear God, and turn to live free for God. 
Disobedience will terminate a glorious destiny in life.
One with peace of God will not have a reason to disobey God directly or indirectly. 
King Saul repeatedly violated the direction of God in place for his glorious destiny. 
God sent Samuel to Saul to attack and utterly destroy the Amalekites. 
Saul was unwilling but disobeyed God, an act of snubbing God.
King Saul disobeyed God, and he became substituted from the plan of God for his life. (1 Samuel 15) 
Pride and inability to wait on God are the company of iniquity before God, evidence of disobeying God to provoke God to be substituted in the assignment of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask that the peace of God gain and reign your life.
