FAITH CAPSULE: The love for Jesus should not be of the mouth.

Revelation 22

The Bible records: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
Who or what is it about the truth?
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.” 
Do you know the truth, or do you know about it?
Truth is the way to live life for arrival to the divine assignment of God.
It is good to know the truth engaging the truth at all times.
Give self to the truth as a way of life, knowing that truth is hardly acceptable.
In this wicked world of lies, the disciples of today tell lies and are so far from God, not living by the truth of God.
Truth is not for twisting, not accommodating lies to be added or subtracted by the wicked world of evil.
By your word or by your action, are you adding or taking away from the word of God?
Revelation 22:18-19 warns, “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 is telling lies in the place of telling the truth. 
Deuteronomy 19:19 buttress, “…so you shall put away the evil from among you.” 
Truth is easy to ignore, it is not on the broad lane that the majority takes to in the life journey.
The world hangs on deception and manipulation.
In life, not knowing the truth is the same as twisting the truth.
Do you know the truth, or do you know about it?
The majority are not free because they do not know or only know about the truth.
John 14:6 records, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth…”
Many claim to know and do things in His name, but it is not evidence of knowing Him.
Once Jesus responds to acclaiming of His name, “But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.” (Matthew 26:70)
Have you been doing things in His name, assuming you know Him but only know about Him?
The love for Jesus should not be of the mouth.
The word of God speaks to all, “But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.” (John 5:42)
To know the truth of God is to love Him by way of living before Him.

Prayer for today: Ask to live life by the truth of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: There is no excuse before God to become far and lost from God.

Jeremiah 50

How far are you from God?
Do you know how far you are from God that is not far from all His creation?
All should be questioning themselves to know if one is far and lost from the presence of God.
God is near to all, but the majority are far from God and do not have the rest of God.
The presence of God carries the rest of God for one that is near to Him.
How far are you from God?
To be far from God is to be lost from God.
God is mindful of all to give His beloved son for all, but the majority do not live for the glory of God not to be a lost one.
Jesus said, “…for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)
The shepherds of God are in a position to lead the sheep to the presence of God, not far from God, and have the rest of God.
However, the shepherds have the role of the loss of the sheep, far from God.
Jeremiah 50:6 points out, “My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray; They have turned them away to the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill; They have forgotten their resting place.” 
The word points out that the Shepherds are the contributing role to be lost, but to be lost will not have an excuse for the lost ones before God.
To be lost is not living for God but shall experience the consequence of living life as the lost.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost sheep, and the sheep that seek Him will find Him to become saved.
To become wrongly led does not excuse the consequences before God.
From today, seek God to know the truth to keep you safe and not become a victim of being led wrong by the Shepherds. 
Making a wrong choice is a way to become a victim of shepherds leading sheep into the track of loss.
Why not seek God diligently to find Him and not far from Him?
Have the desire not to far from God.
The Psalm of David states, “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.” (Psalm 27:4)
What is your choice?
Seek God diligently not be far from God.
God is a caring God with reasonable provision for all not to be victims of one living far from God.
Do not live a life of waste.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with the strength not to walk the walk of the lost.

FAITH CAPSULE: Denial disobedience to live for God.

Numbers 20

Disobedience to the word of God erases disobedient ones not to gain the rightful place of God.
There is no negotiation to disobey God.
It does not matter who you are, but it does matter not to disobey the word of God.
Disobedience to God is evidence of not having the fear of God.
Sin and sinning are rooted in disobedience.
Sin or disobedience does not settle with God.
The word questions all: “…Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1-2) 
Sin, disobedience, does not have a place before God.
To be disobedient is to take a position of disorder.
Disobedience is a track to disobedience.
To disobey His word is to be destroyed. 
Proverbs 13:13 warns all, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.” 
Disobedience to the word of God is the lack of fear of God. 
Moses, as great as he was in the hand of God, could not step on the Promised Land because he disobeyed the command of God.
The disobedience of Moses is no excuse to deliver him from the consequences of his error.
The Bible records the disobedience of Moses: 
“Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” (Numbers 20:7-8) 
Moses was to respond to the children of Israel for water when God commanded him to speak to the rock. 
Moses did not speak as God commanded him but disobeyed by pleasing himself against the command of God. 
The Bible records in Numbers 20:11, “Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod, and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.” 
Moses struck the rock in the place to speak as commanded by God.
The disobedience of Moses did not settle well with God. 
As a result, God responded to Moses and Aaron, “…Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” (Numbers 20:12) 
A lifetime journey ended up in the wilderness for Moses when he struck instead of speaking to become denied from getting to the Promised Land. 
Disobedience is a spirit that leads to denial to claim the blessing of God.
Fear God, live by His word, and not become a victim of sin and sinning before God.
The sin of Moses is with no excuse before God, but it is enough for all to learn not to disobey the command of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask to be delivered from the spirit of disobedience.

FAITH CAPSULE: God is enough to be committed to.

Isaiah 64

God is a Caring God. 
God is near.
God is not far from His creator that is not far from Him.
Sin and iniquity will always set one to be far from God.
Romans 3:23 informs all, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
God is a good God!
God waits to act when one waits on His committed love and caring. 
Isaiah 64:4 testifies to God, “For since the beginning of the world, men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
God is enough to be committed to His help, not to anyone. 
God alone is the Helping helper that has never failed. 
Are you looking forward to anyone for your help?
Looking for help from the wrong sources is evidence of limiting God for His loving care. 
Your help will not come from where you are looking for but shall be from God through unexpected channels to you. 
Imagine Saul God appointed him to be the king but looking away from God to get the help of God, as king.
God called him.
Did God call you?
1 Thessalonians 5:24 records, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”
Saul did not look to the caring God for his help.
Saul was to fight the Philistines, but he could not wait for the Prophet of God with direction to carry out the burnt offering. 
Saul disobeyed the law of God by engaging in an offering that was only to be carried out by Samuel, the priest of God. 
Samuel confronted Saul about the presentation of the burnt offering, “…What have you done?” Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, then I said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD.’ Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.” (1 Samuel 13:11-12) 
Committing to man instead of meditating on the testimonies of the care of God will compel one to become a failure like King Saul.
Who do you commit yourself to?
One who is committed to the word of God commits to God.
One who is committed to the world shall experience self-destruction.
Jesus could not commit Himself to any man. 
The Bible records, “But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men.” (John 2:24) 
The documentation of the experience of Jesus is for all to learn.
Are you studying instead of reading the word of God to learn?
Study the word of God, and do not look over the word by committing yourself to no one. 
Do you commit to someone?
Who do you commit to for getting help? 
God, creator of all, can visit for His salvation.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to commit to His word.

FAITH CAPSULE: Giving regard to the Word of God is the character of one who gives self to God.

Psalm 28

The work of God is the Word of God.
The work of God is the creation of God by His Word.
John 1:1-3, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made.”
The Bible states nothing is made, without the Word of God.
The Word of God worked everything out.
God magnified His Word above all His name.
How are you giving regard to the Word of God?
Psalm 28:5 records, “Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.”
Does the Word speak to you?
One that commends to the Word of God shall become built by the Word of God.
Acts 20:32 states, “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.”
The Word of God is a manual to engage, not to live a wasted life.
His Word is His command.
One who lives by the Word of God is obedient to the Word of God.
God is not a respecter of no one.
Moses disobeyed the Word of God to live by the consequences.  
Moses failed to obey the command of God when he struck and spoke.
Numbers 20:11-12 records, “Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank. Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” 
Striking is not the same as speaking. 
Failure to fully obey is an avenue to self-destruction. 
Are you paying attention to yourself rather than paying attention to the command of God.? 
Moses could not step on the Promised Land based on his disobedience to the command of God.
Be accountable and not count yourself out through disobedience.
Striking is not the same as speaking. 
Failure to fully obey is an avenue to self-destruction. 
He is God and calls for all to be obedient in His direction.
Are you paying attention to yourself rather than paying attention to His command? 
Moses could not step on the Promised Land based on his disobedience to the command of God.
Be accountable and not count yourself out through disobedience.
God is not a joker. 
God expects obedience to His Word without failure.
Do not disobey the command of God at all times because no excuse will count for disobedience to God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with constant obedience to God and not to self.
