FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong>\u00a0A believer is living by the word, not of the world of wicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah 12<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of a believer are you?
Is there any wickedness in you?
Before God, the wicked one is near in the mouth but far in the heart.\u00a0(Jeremiah 12:1-2)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
Does the word speak to you?\u00a0
Are you claiming not to be a wicked one?\u00a0
King David did not assume but renewed before God not to live a life of waste as a wicked one.
David states,\u00a0“Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:10)<\/em><\/strong>
Ask not to be a wicked one.
Seek God with the desire to be led in the way everlasting like David asked.\u00a0\u00a0
The character of all cannot be deceived before God but will deceive man.
All shall not deceive self, but all shall submit before God and come out of what is not positive before God.
A believer is living by the word of God.
Are you living by the word of God or living by the world?
The word of God is the work of God.
John 6:28<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0records the question before Jesus,\u00a0“Then they said to Him, \u201cWhat shall we do, that we may work the works of God?\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
The answer of Jesus points out to be a believer stating,\u00a0\u201cThis is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.\u201d (John 6:29)<\/em><\/strong>
A believer is to live life by the word of God, not to be a wicked one.
A believer should answer what Jesus calls for in the life of one.
Jesus did not suggest but called a believer as salt and light of the world.
Are you what a believer should be?
BELIEVER AS SALT
As a believer, salt of the earth, you are quiet in your work for God with the excuse of not wanting to offend anyone by what they believe.\u00a0
Is that you?\u00a0
How can it be that food coming out of the kitchen with salt should be tasteless?\u00a0
Jesus said,\u00a0\u201cYou are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men\u201d\u00a0<\/em>(Matthew 5:13)<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0
Pray not to be the salt that is not effective but lost its purpose.
BELIEVER AS LIGHT
The word of God speaks to believers,\u00a0\u201cYou are the light of the world…” (Matthew 5:14)<\/em><\/strong>
Where is the light?
What kind of light are you?
The word is not suggesting for believers to answer as the light of the world but identifies that light should be the identity of believers.
As a believer, can you answer as the light of the world?
Believers crowd churches, but darkness clouds the world.
Where is the light while wickedness clouds the world?
Sincerely, search for yourself to identify the kind of believer you are.
Pray to live life as the light of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
