FAITH CAPSULE: To live a life with the fear of God is to be humble and obedient to God continually.

Deuteronomy 4

Today, many no longer fear God with their heart but with the mouth. Unfortunately, one who does not understand the fear of God does not know God. 
Proverbs 2:5 buttresses: “Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.”
Is it possible that your selfishness has closed you off from being mindful of God and from knowing God, and from living for the glory of God?
A selfish heart that is not mindful of God is bound to be far from God.
Not knowing God is foolishness.
To live life, do not be fooled; it is foolish to say there is no God. 
Proverbs 14:1 identifies, “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.”
As self-minded, you are not with the fear of God, but you have displaced God in your life, the automatic route into the path of eternal damnation.
No one is born to this world with the knowledge to fear God.
The knowledge to fear God comes from learning in the word of God. 
Deuteronomy 31:12-13 buttresses the need to learn and fear God saying,“Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and stranger who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the LORD your God and carefully observe all the words of this law, “and that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to possess.” 
To live a life with the fear of God is to be humble and obedient to God continually.
Without humility, obedience is not possible. 
Philippians 2:8 records of Jesus, “…humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.” 
The humble will fear God. 
Do you fear God indeed and in truth? 
To be lost from the word of God is to lose the rightful position in God.
Pray for the fear of God in your life.
Jeremiah 32:39 is the reason to ask for the fear of God, which states, “Then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them.”
Do not be deceived, but fear God from the depth of your heart.
God is true to His word.
Ask, and it shall be given to you.
Today, search yourself to know your stand in the way you live life. 
Living a life that is all about you is evidence of selfishness.
Come out of selfishness; live for God.
It is not right to live a selfish life.
Selfishness can be unconscious and lead to self-destruction.
Live life for God, not for yourself.

Prayer for today: Pray before God to enable you to live a life for His glory. 

FAITH CAPSULE: Abraham lived a life of obedience to experience God.

Genesis 22

Are you living a life of obedience or disobedience?
Live a life of obedience to God.
The word of God demands obedience to His word.
Live obediently to gain in the promise of God.
Are you living a life of obedience or disobedience?
Obedience to God will drive the obedient one to arrive at the divine assignment, but disobedience will prevent one from reaching as expected before God.
Abraham lived a life of obedience to the word of God.
God called him out of his land, and he and his family left, not knowing the challenges ahead.
Genesis 22:1-3 records: “Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.” 
Abraham obeyed the calling of God.
Abraham was counted as faithful, which positioned him for the divine assignment. (Hebrews 11:8)
Abraham obeyed and did not fail before God to claim God’s promise.(Hebrews 11:17)
Just like Abraham, know that obeying the word of God will gain access to the presence of God.
How is your journey of life in obedience to God?
In the journey of life, there is no reasonable excuse for disobedience to God.
God’s deliverance plan from destruction is a deliverance plan for Lot and his family, an escape from destruction.
Genesis 19:17 records, “So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.”
The direction for Lot is to escape sudden death, which demands obedience.
Claiming to be living a life of obedience is easier said than done.
Live a life of obedience before God, who sees all ways of life under heaven.
To live a life with the fear of God is to be humble and obey continually.
Tenderness of heart is rooted in the word of God, a place for humility. 
Without humility, obedience is not possible. 
Philippians 2:8 records of Jesus, “…humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.” 
The humble will fear God. 
Do you fear God indeed and in truth? 
To live for God is to obey His word.
What has taken the place of God in your life, replacing your living life for God?

Prayer for today: Pray to understand and know God, to fear Him.

FAITH CAPSULE:  What is it about the mercy of God?

The mercy of God is abundant
Numbers 14:18 states,“The Lord is long-suffering and abundant in mercy…” 
God does not run out of mercy.
His mercy is abundant, but man runs out of it.
Are you living outside of the word of God, expecting His mercy to be in place for you? Be obedient to the word of God, and live for God to experience His mercy.
The mercy of God is abundant and sufficient, but never becomes insufficient for those who fear Him. 
Understand and know that to fear and obey God in your way of life is to gain His mercy continually.
The mercy of God is to know God, to fear Him.
Luke 1:50 admonishes, “And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.” 
According to the word of God, with the fear of God, mercy will become obtainable from God. 
Why not desire and allow the fear of God to reign and rule your life?
Fear God, love God, and obey His word.
Deuteronomy 7:9 testifies, “Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.” 
With the fear of God, mercy will become a life of testimony to the glory of God.
The mercy of God is His endurance forever. 
The word in1 Chronicles 16:34 speaks to all, confirming the endurance of God that is forever:“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”  
The everlasting God exists in His mercy.
The mercy satisfies all areas of life. 
The Psalmist records in Psalm 90:14, “Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” 
The mercy of God inhabits joy and gladness. 
Proverbs 20:28 says, “Mercy and truth preserve the king…”  
The Mercy of God will not preserve kings alone, but all who live life with the fear of God.
Know how to live, giving regard to God.
Jonah 2:8 “Those who regard worthless idols forsake their own Mercy.” Disregard idols to receive mercy.
From this moment, live consistently by the word of God.
Attain the unfailing mercy of God.
Understand and know how to walk in the word of God.
Do not run out of His mercy.
The mercy of God is in place to deliver and to preserve.
God is a merciful God.
Mercy belongs to God.
Mercy is unquestionably of God.
No one is in a position to question why the mercy of God answers for one in need of mercy.
Mercy is the character of God.
God is rich in mercy, and His mercy is great.
One with the mercy of God shall be relieved from suffering.
Great is the mercy of God!
Lot and his wife were in the place of destruction, but mercy delivered them.
Understand that mercy is undeniable; God is merciful.

Prayer for today: Pray to dwell and abide in the mercy of God

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 partial to anyone who will understand and know God by His way, for His way is through His word.
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 could not derail or displace 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: Do not live life as a doubter a wrong attitude!

Matthew 14

A doubter has no place with God.
Trust and hope in God; do not entertain doubt at any level.
Give regard to God; do not become a captive of doubt.
What makes up a man will be the mark of how he lives life.
Giving in to doubt is the avenue to self-destruction. 
Give regard to God, to know Him, and not to become a captive of doubting God. 
Do not doubt, do not limit, or despise the power of the word of God. Proverbs 13:13 warns, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”  
Give regard to the word of God; know it and patiently live by it to experience the end of struggle or challenge in any area of life. 
Are you in doubt over your challenge?
God is able; He will always deliver you from challenges.
Psalm 34:19 encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” 
The power of God is His word.
What God says He will do is a done deal.
Hebrews 4:12 describes the word, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” 
Give regard to the word of God; deny doubt in your thought or action.
Word is indeed living, powerful, and sharper to terminate challenges to the glory of God.
In your challenge, why not give regard to the word of God?
Do not doubt the word of God; it reverses the irreversible.
Disallow doubt!
Jeremiah testifies to the identity of the word of God, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts.” (Jeremiah 15:16) 
Do not doubt the life of God.
Give regard to the word of God; the word of God will work without doubt.
Working the word of God is labor. 
Laboring the word of God is without doubt.
Without doubt is obedience to God.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 states, “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the Lord your God.”
The word confirms the reason to engage the word laboriously and not doubt the word of God. 
Laboring the word of God silences doubt to prompt the blessing of God.
Do not doubt the word of God, but do the word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that the spirit of doubt be terminated in your life.
