Jesus, the word of God declared, <em>\u201cI have come that they may have <\/em><em>life, and that they may have it more <\/em><em>abundantly.\u201d (John 10:10)<\/em> All that is in the word of God is in place for man not to be a victim of this wicked world if man truly give self to word of God by meditating day and night.<br \/>\nMeditation is not memorization. Allowing meditating on the word of God to be a way of life, as routine will answer as compass for navigating through the journey of life. With meditation man is set to do well. Meditation worked for Moses and must have worked better for Joshua. Meditation is not a fun-fare, it must be an intense way for man to gain and retain the presence of God because the word of God is God. The word of God is his law which should be for meditation. <strong><em>Joshua 1:8<\/em> declared, <em>\u201c<\/em><em>This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it <\/em><em>day <\/em><em>and <\/em><em>night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, <\/em><em>and then you will have good success.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>Meditating the word of God is a way to be preserved from fear of the enemy. There is only one enemy for every creation of God and that enemy is the devil himself. Fear is the enemy\u2019s weapon. In life, when faith sinks, fear rise to take charge in the life of man. Fear does not announce itself before it invades its victims. Fear knows no discrimination. Fear will not announce itself before visiting victims, it is not a respecter of man\u2019s title. Peter was a disciple of Jesus when fear rose up while his faith sank. In the face of stormy challenge, Peter asked Jesus, <strong>\u201c<em>Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.\u2019 So He said, \u2019Come.\u2019 And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, \u2019Lord, save me!\u2019 (Matthew 14:28-30)<\/em><\/strong> Above scriptural verse, is the evident that when faith was in place, Peter was able to walk on the storm and not sink. The moment Peter redirected his focus from savior to the storm, faith was out of place. Fear caused him to sink. Engaging Word of God continually is an assured way of salvation from storm. Determination is not an assured way for salvation but trust and hope in the Word of God is certain for deliverance and preservation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer for today:<\/strong> <em>Ask for the grace of God to keep you up and not sink in the storm of life.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAITH CAPSULE: In the word of God there is healing and deliverance to preserve man\u2019s life.
