FAITH CAPSULE: Exposure to the mercy of God shall gain from God.

Ezekiel 37

From yesterday till today, having life is the grace of God.
God alone brought you this far.
It is only the mercy of God that answers for your life.
Mercy is in the hand of God.
Acknowledge it in every way of life that the mercy of God has granted you the breath of life.
In the hand of God, there is the direction to position one for deliverance.
Prayerfully, desire the encounter with the hand of God.
God will have mercy on whom He chooses to extend.
Also, one who cries unto God shall experience the hand of God that is merciful.
Mercy belongs to God, and no living being is in a position to stop God from having mercy on whom He chooses to.
Romans 9:15 records, “For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”
Have the desire to gain the merciful hand of God for the direction for deliverance and preservation. 
What is it about the hand of God?
Pages of the Bible record the direction hand of God as it locates one for deliverance.
Ezekiel testifies to the hand of God.
Ezekiel 37:1 states, “The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones.”
Whoever experiences the hand of God is set for direction in the word of God.
Ezekiel testifies, “And He said to me, ‘Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know. Again, He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. (Ezekiel 37:3-5)
In the direction of God is to see and become exposed to the miracle of God.
One exposed to the miracle of God shall excel for the glory of God.
One exposure to the miracle of God is what will close out a doubt.
Why not desire the encounter with the hand of God?
The hand of God is a power that enables one to see in the word of God.
Ezekiel 37:7 Ezekiel listened, “So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone.”
Do not deny the hand of God by failing to move in the direction of God. 
Ezekiel listened and saw as directed by God, and experienced the miracle of God.
In the word of God, there is healing and deliverance. (Psalm 107:20)
Claim the word of God by seeing to receive and become in you.

Prayer for today: Ask to know and see in the word of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Positive thought provokes positive occurrence.

Genesis 19

Know it, think of it, prayerfully meditate on it, the new day or season ahead is moving you forward.
It is what you think or ask that will become of you.
Ephesians 3:20 encourages, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”
Positive thought provokes positive ocuurence.
God is a merciful God who oversees the affairs of the world.
Make it a characteristic to acknowledge God.
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples! 
For His merciful kindness is great toward us and the truth of the Lord endures forever.”  (Psalm 117:7) 
The mercy of God was in place for Lot and his family.
The wife of Lot failed to see the mercy of God in her relocation. 
As an acclaimed believer, do you see God in your relocation? 
The mercy of God has relocated you into your new season or a new day. The new day or season is moving you forward.
A failure to recognize that God is moving you forward is a pathway to self-destruction. 
Trust and hope in God that the challenges of yesterday shall not be permanent.
Ask that the mercy of God shall terminate challenges over your life. 
Believe it, confess it, and know that “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19)
Your new month shall not run out without the visitation of God for your deliverance in the name of Jesus. 
Regardless of any provoking challenge in your new month, the refreshing hand of God shall answer your life fully. 
In this new season, your relocation, to give thanks to God, shall constantly be your song, to the glory of God.
Embrace where you are with thanksgiving to God and allow the past to be in the past. 
Glorify God to be glorified in the life He has given you. 
Know that having life today is not because of merit but because of His mercy. 
Having life today is not a right but a privilege of God. 
Those who live by faith will see in faith and move by faith.
Know that the truth of the Lord endures forever. 
The truth of God is in His word. 
He gave His word to warn Lot and his wife: “…Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” (Genesis 19:17) 
An escape from self-destruction demands setting sight on the Unchanging changer, the Commander of commands. 
The word of God was difficult for the wife of Lot to obey because she could not look away from her past, her comfort zone. 
The Bible records that the wife of Lot looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19:26)
Could it be that your relocation into a new season is God repositioning you for the better? 

Prayer for today: Ask God to take over your days and your moments for His name to be glorified over your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Disengage from the act of disregarding His word.

Numbers 14:1-35

Complaining is a sin before God.
Every sin prompts a consequence.
Sin calls for repentance to gain forgiveness.
Forgiveness will not erase consequences, but the repentant will gain the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.
Disengage from the act of disregarding His word. It is a sin to ignore the word of God.
Complaint is disregarding God to experience the painful consequence. 
A violation of God in the journey should avoid sin, which will provoke painful consequences.
Complaining became the character of the Israelites when on their journey to the promise of God.
Complaining was the cause of the multitude that joined them in their journey.
God did not call a multitude to join the Israelites on their journey to the promise of God.
Avoid the multitude. 
A multitude is a substantial number of people who have gathered together. 
A multitude of people can be of many characters. 
Israel was coming out of the bondage of over a hundred years in the company of the multitude.
The Bible records, “Then the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children. A mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of livestock.” (Exodus 12:37-38)
The multitude was the root of sin, which caused the denial of arrival at the promise of God.
Numbers 11:4-6 records the negativity of the mixed multitude, “Now the mixed multitudes who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: ‘Who will give us meat to eat? We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”(Numbers 11:4-6)
The mixed multitude among the Israelites was the source of intense craving for what they had in Egypt.
Are you focusing on the promises of God or on entertaining the multitude in your midst?
The multitude/crowd does not excuse Israel from becoming poisoned with negativity that God does not tolerate.
Remain focused.
The life journey demands attention to avoid the distraction of the multitude.
With the influence of the mixed multitude, the Israelites could not look away from the past and were not able to uphold their stand before God.
God hears all.
Know to gain focus; maintain focus; meditate on the promise of God to claim His promises. 
The promise of God does not fail except one fails to live by the word of God.
The character of the multitude is the root of complaints before God. 
God could not look over the complaint but responded, “As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing so that I will do to you…”
Know to avoid multitude, maintain focus on God by giving regard to His word.

Prayer for today: Ask against the multitude not to have a place in your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: The Lord God sees all things and knows all.

Psalm 37

All should know to maintain focus on God alone.
Are you aware that the eyes of God are all over the world?
Without exception, God is God who sees all, and nothing can hide from God.
Deceive not the world, deceiving the world is deceiving oneself before God, to experience consequence for all that is not right.
Know that God is not asleep. He oversees the affairs of all.
2 Chronicles 16:9 states, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth…”
Remain focused only on God to gain and retain His presence.
The wicked one is the evil one, while God alone oversees all that exists under heaven and earth. 
Focus on God to disregard evil doing.
The Psalmist encourages all, “Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.” (Psalm 37:1) 
One not resting on the promise of God shall be fretful of the evildoers.
The character of focusing on God shall gain the rest of God.
One who does not focus on God shall be restless.
Let your focus on God be in place.
Consider engaging the promise of God for your life.
To be envious of the workers of iniquity is evidence of not focusing on God, who meets the needs of all. 
One that does not focus on God, to gain the rest of God is bound to rust in waste.
Acclaimed believers of God must know and not be fretful that the wicked ones are here to stay until the time of the judgment of God.
The same Psalm 37 gave the prescription of what it takes to ignore the wicked ones, stating, “Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.” (Psalm 37:3) 
Doing according to the word of God shall prompt His promise against the wicked.
The Lord God sees all things and knows all.
Time belongs to God, and He will seek out the wicked ones.
The book of Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 admonished, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.”
All should maintain focus on God alone, not focusing on the wicked one.
One who focuses on God will fear God and not fret because of wicked ones, the evildoers. 
God alone knows when to deal with those who have the choice not to come out of wickedness.
God does not sleep nor slumber, and all must focus on God alone.

Prayer for today: Ask for deliverance from the path of wicked ones.

FAITH CAPSULE: Disallow concerns, allowing the command of God.

Numbers 20

There is no reasonable excuse to live away from the word of God.
The word of God is His command, and His way is His presence.
Allow the word of God to occupy you?
All should know to give themselves to the word of God and be careful to keep to the ways of God.
Proverbs 19:16 admonishes, “He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is careless of his ways will die.”  
Give to the way of God that will guide you to arrive at the expected end without failure or destruction. 
Is it your ways that you are keeping instead of His ways? 
Keep the word of God, giving regard to His command in every step of life. 
Jonah chose to look over the word of God, a careless choice to disobey God.
Jonah 1:1-3 documents, “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, ‘Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.” 
Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of God, made his choice over the choice of God.
Jonah was careless of the word of God as he stumbled into a position of self-destruction. 
Regardless of any challenging situation, know to engage the command of God; do not disregard the calling of God.
The command of God is in His calling for you.
1Thessalonian 5:24 warns, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”
God called Moses out to lead the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. 
Moses was careless not to be careful with the word of God. 
Moses reacted to the rebellious act of the children of Israel towards God instead of letting God be God against the wrong of the Israelites.
Moses took it upon himself to strike the rock instead of speaking for water. 
No excuse for wrongdoing counts before God.
There was no excuse for Moses before God when he disregarded the word.
God responded to Moses, “…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)
Do not be careless before God, be concerned, and do not be corrupted in responding to the calling of God.
Disallow your concern; allow the command of God to take charge of your life.
Regardless of who you are before God, remain careful and consistently attend to God fully.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live life by the word of God.
