TESTIMONIES OF GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: Meditate on His testimonies to provoke your faith in Him.

Describing the testimony of God.
Testimony is evidence in support of the wonders of God. 
Testimony is an open declaration or profession of faith.
The testimonies of God will transport a believer to a ground of transformation. 
All that the children of Israel needed for their transportation through their wilderness journey was the testimonies of God to keep them from complaining against God. 
The children of Israel were to travel through the wilderness to their Promised Land for eleven days, but the journey went on for forty years.
Are you experiencing a time of wandering where you are to be a wonder to your world?
A failure to keep the testimony of God is evidence of not remembering God for He has done and what He can do.
The generation that came out of Egypt did not only journey in the wilderness but wandered around until the wilderness passed them to death.
The Israelites could not step on the Promised Land. 
The children of Israel did not just become wanders in the wilderness by accident.
The acts of complaints against God trapped them in the wilderness. 
The act of complaining is evidence of not keeping God’s testimony. 
Due to their never-ending complaining against what God was doing in their life, God responds in Numbers 14:22-23, “Because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice, they certainly shall not see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it.”
God promised to take them to the Promised Land. 
God promised to take them to the Promised Land. 
While the Israelites were in Egypt, God showed them great and mighty signs, but they could not meditate to keep His testimony.
Why not constantly meditate on His testimonies? 
The Psalmist identifies the blessing of God as keeping the testimonies of God.  Psalm 119:2 states, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!” 
Keeping His testimonies is setting self-up to serve God and not rebel by complaining. 
Psalm 119: 24 states, “Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.” 
Psalm 119:46, “I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.”
The testimonies of God are the things of God.
The testimonies of God are evidence of what God can do.
His testimonies are worthy of mediation. 
The testimony of God is what is needed to plead for the case before God. Isaiah 45:26 states, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted. 
Do you have any testimony to remind God when presenting your case before God to gain His favor?  
In your challenge, state your case by referring to what God has done and what He can do. 
God is faithful to honor His word. 

Prayer for today: Ask that the help of God will enable keeping His testimony constant.

YOUR VICTORY

FAITH CAPSULE: Know, and confess your victory this month.

Psalm 3

God is true to perform and performs to perfection.
There is none like God. 
He is the only God that makes a way where there is no way. 
Only God alone reverses the irreversible, the only God that shares His name with no other God. 
He is the king of kings, the Lord of lords. 
King David testifies, “The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood, and the Lord sits as King forever.” (Psalm 29:10)
Jehoiachin had been in captivity for thirty-seven years when God raised his head and brought him out. (Jeremiah 52:31) 
With positive confession, knowing that God is not a partial God, expect that the new month He has enabled you to see shall answer for you as a month of victory.
With faith, your portion is victory in all endeavors.
Jeremiah 52:31 records, “Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison.”  
God used Evil-Merodach, the king of Babylon and son of Nebuchadnezzar, to lift up the head of Jehoiachin. 
God will use anyone to lift you from every challenge that is keeping your head down. 
God alone is a capable God that will cause you to preside over your persecutors. 
Evil-Merodach was in the hand of God to lift the head of Jehoiachin. When God remembers, He also rescues. 
Having used Evil-Merodach to rescue Jehoiachin, God also made him change the garment of Jehoiachin from that of a prisoner to that of one who eats before the king all the days of his life. 
God is true to perform, and He performs with perfection. 
There is nothing God is incapable of doing, and His capability has no measure. 
God visited Daniel in the den of hungry lions. 
He caused the starved lions not to have an appetite for fresh meat.
Are you waiting on Him in prayer concerning a challenge that seems unmovable? 
Continue to trust and hope in God by waiting on Him. 
Concerning your challenge, it is not time to stop prayer but to top up your waiting in prayer. 
God is a prayer-answering God. 
Know it and make it a note in your heart that the understanding God capable of bringing the Israelites out of the bondage of over four hundred years is more than able to convert your challenge to a glorious change. 
God alone is Jehovah Sharma, and He will hear to answer at the calling of His Name. 
Stand in faith so that faithful God will show on your behalf. 
With faith, God is pleased, and without faith, God is not. 
Proverbs 16:7 buttresses, “When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies be at peace with him.” 
Have faith that God is more than capable and will see you through. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to send forth His help and lift your head from every challenge.

AUGUST 2023 FAITH MAIL

BE CONFIDENT IN THE WORD OF GOD

Have confidence in God alone.
What kind of a believer are you?
Live life by the word of God to claim His promise.
The believers quote or talk more of the word of God than walking by the word of God.
Abraham walked by the word of God to claim the blessings of God.
He directed his servant, “…The Lord, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way…” (Genesis 24:40) 
Take note, claiming the blessings of God is not by quoting the word of God, not living in the church, but living by the conditions in the word of God.
Abraham lived by the conditions in the word of God.
Are you walking by the WORLD or walking by the word of God?
Pray to live life by the word of God.
In praying, ask from God, not in doubt.
God as a jealous God is the evidence that He is a caring Father.
God is caring and approachable by questioning Him with faith but not with doubtful questions.
Moses, at his waiting on God, questioned God with faith: “…show me now Your way, that I may know You…” (Exodus 33:13) 
Knowing God is personalizing God as a father who cares to act for one who waits on Him.
God responds to Moses, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Exodus 33:14)
Do you know God or know about Him?
It is not enough to know God by mouth but by the heart.
Seek God diligently, and live life for God to find Him.
God alone brought you this far.
The goodness and mercy of God have brought you this far. 
In challenging times, keep to the word of God (walking along with God).
Having patience rooted in faith should be the vehicle.
Challenging is troubling and should not prompt one to rely on anyone but God.
Proverbs 25:19 warns, “Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.”
Have confidence in God alone.
Trust and hope for the mercy of God to see you through this time, living life for the glory of God.
Meditate prayerfully that this month shall be for continual reliance on God in all endeavors. 
Relying on God provokes victory of God.
Relying on God is waiting on God.
There is no shame in waiting on God.
God acts for the one who waits for Him. (Isaiah 64:4)
Gain the attention of God by waiting on Him.
Psalm 25:3 states, “Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed…”  
Waiting on God endures a period of not knowing how long to get an answer from God. 
Waiting on God cannot be a waste of time. 
God will answer with yes, wait, or no.
In a time of waiting, among what to exercise as a believer are:
Be courageous; trust and hope; rest in the Lord; be patient for Him; do not fret; keep His way; let your soul wait silently.
Ask to be enabled to live by the word of God, waiting on God alone, which is the way not to be a victim of challenges.
One with wisdom and understanding shall have a knowing edge not to live a life of waste.
The challenge is inevitable, but one with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge shall be stable in the instability of the world.
Isaiah 33:6 testifies, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times and the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
Do you know or know about having wisdom, understanding, and knowledge? 
Knowing wisdom is knowing security and the peace of God. 
1 Corinthians 1:30 records, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”  
With wisdom, fear not the challenging of time, evidence of one that fears God.
Know that: 
God is a good God.
God is a perfect God.
God creates all to live for His glory. (Revelation 4:11)
The goodness and mercy of God, His love for all, sent His beloved son.
The word of God states, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!” (Luke 9:5)
God owes no one, but all owe God by living life by His word.
In His love, He commands all to hear Him.
To hear Him is in hearing and hearing Him the source of having faith.
Remember, faith comes by hearing and hearing.
All owe God to live life for God, not a life of waste that misses heaven.
Ask that God uphold you not to live a life of waste but to live for His glory.

THIS NEW MONTH

FAITH CAPSULE: Know to avoid being distracted.

Judges 16

Grace and mercy have brought you this far.
Know that the grace of God will see you through the coming days, weeks, months, and years.
Pray that being distracted will not have a place in you to deny and derail you from arriving at divine assignment shall not answer over your life.
What is distracting is not of God but of the devil.
Seven things that come with distraction are:
Distraction can terminate the calling of God in the life of one.
Distraction will not announce itself to derail one with purposed agenda.
Distraction will derail or deny one with the loss of focus on God.
Distraction will assault to prevent one from getting to the divine assignment.
Distraction can be a denial agent against a man not to walk in the Lord, to answer the calling of God.
Distraction can also be an indefinable force that will deny a man from having faith to please God.
Distraction can build up discouragement.
Samson was to be a deliverer of his people by the hand of God. 
Before the birth of Samson, God sent an angel that said to his mother, “Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. Now, therefore, please be careful not to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean. For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” (Judges 13:3-5)
Samson was to deliver his people when distraction led to his disobedience before God. 
Samson was wrong to reveal the secret of the power of God over his life to his wife (Delilah) and made him become a victim at the hand of his enemy.
Deny distraction not to derail you.
A delay this far with no manifestation of expectation is not a denial of one.
Do you have Jesus in your house with a distraction denying you not to gain and retain His presence? 
Martha welcomed Jesus into her house but was distracted.
Luke 10:40 records, “But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, ‘Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, tell her to help me.’”  
Also, know that Your heart is your house.
Deny distraction from having a place in your heart.
Distractions will build up to experience a delay.
Delay will not deny you disallow distraction in your heart.
Pray against the spirit of distraction not to have a place in your life.
The source of distraction for one not to live life for the glory of God can be from the closest ones.
Are you avoiding devices of distraction before you?
Continually give attention to deny distraction of all forms.

Prayer for today: Ask for deliverance from any form of distraction.

IGNORE YOUR DELAY

FAITH CAPSULE: A failure not to ignore delay can turn one out of the way of God. 

Exodus 32:1-14

Delays can be discouraging as the process of a hindrance. 
In life, a delay in the process can terminate a positive expectation.
As a believer, there should be an understanding that delay is not a denial. 
Are you experiencing a delay in any area of life? 
It is important to note that whenever there is a failure to ignore any delay, there will be doubt in place. 
With doubt comes every reason to despise the faithfulness of God that is rooted in the word of God.
Exodus 32:1 records, “Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”
The delay of Moses on the mountain prompted the doubt of the Israelites. 
The Israelites should have known quite well that God could not have abandoned them, yet they gave themselves unnecessary worry. 
The Israelites demonstrated unfaithfulness because of the delay of Moses on the mountain.
The Israelites could not wait on God when they looked for another god. 
The truth is that waiting on God can never become waste. 
In life, some delays are what measure faithfulness before God. 
When the delay of Moses became glaring in the sight of the children of Israel, they began to seek a god to take over from God.
Put in mind that God is not substitutable.
One that substitutes God in times of waiting on Him is snubbing God, which never fails to answer to believing believers.
A failure not to ignore delay will derail one on the track to experience the visitation of God.
Are you experiencing a delay? 
Your delay will turn into deliverance if you trust and wait in the name of Jesus. 
The Bible declares in Philippians 4:6-7, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” 
Unexpected delays will generate concern, and there will be every reason to be anxious. 
The word encourages by stating the antidote for anxiousness: Take all to God in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, and the peace of God will take over you. 
Instead of seeing a delay, be encouraged by seeing in the word of God. God alone is the One that delivers, and He controls all. 
Deny delay; declare all His goodness and His mercy that never expire. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to wait patiently on his hand.
