FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Attention is the antidote of jealous of our jealous God.<\/p>\n

2 Samuel 22<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

God is a jealous God. Exodus 20:5<\/em><\/strong> recorded the word of God, \u201c\u2026For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Attention is the antidote of our jealous God. Praising and thanking God is giving attention to God. Praising God and thanking God is calling on God. Calling on God demands understanding. Understanding is knowing God while knowing about God is the evidence of lack of understanding. It is written, \u201cFor God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> If praising demands understanding to get God\u2019s attention, giving thanks; calling on God and every way to serve God also demands understanding.
\nDo you understand to expect with manifestation from God?
\nIt is understanding to know God when calling on God with persistent in waiting for His response with manifestation. Persistently waiting on God by not weary, by not worrying in the place of waiting on God is the evidence of faith. With faith, jealous God is pleased and without faith God is not pleased. (Hebrews 11:6) To be persistent in waiting on God is to know and not lose heart before God. In the Parable of The Persistent Widow, Jesus spoke a parable that men always ought to pray and not lose heart. (Luke18:1-8)<\/em><\/strong> God does not go by our own timing but by His appointed time. It is certain to get answer when we call and wait on jealous God. Isaiah 64:4<\/em><\/strong> testified to unfailing God, a jealous God that perfect to perform stating, \u201cFor 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.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Call on Him in the day or in the night He is never too busy to ignore your calling. However, if you are too busy outside of waiting on jealous God you should expect to miss the visitation of your jealous\u2019 God for His manifestation.
\nGod is worthy of our praise and our thanks giving. He is the Creator and there is none like Him.
\nDavid attested, \u201cI will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.\u201d (2 Samuel 22:4)<\/em><\/strong> David was not entertaining with words but he was gaining entrance into the court of God. David was gaining entrance into the presence of God through praise because it is praise that grants access into His court. It is written, \u201cEnter into His gates with thanksgiving,\u00a0And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> (Psalm 100:4)<\/em><\/strong> Thanksgiving is the route to jealous God\u2019s gate while praise will place man into jealous God\u2019s court. David wanted to get to the court when He declared praise worship for His salvation from his enemies. Praise that is driven by joy (not just mouthful praise) from the depth of heart will get man to His (court) presence.<\/p>\n
