FAITH CAPSULE: Pray for the word of God.

Praying is to engage with expectation for manifestation before God.
This hour we are to communicate our petition addressed to God, not to man. 
Prayer before God is a devotion that demands understanding. 
Active engagement in prayer delivers undeniable miracles. 
God HEARS prayer.
Praying amiss is possible to experience amiss before God, evidence of lack of understanding.
James 4:3 testifies, “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”
Praying to God is NOT TALKING FROM HEAD but talking from the depth of the heart with understanding.
Praying to God is communicating with God, not talking over God, but listening to hear from God.
When prayer becomes a lifestyle, it becomes rooted in understanding.
Continually give self to prayer as a lifestyle.
Ask for the strength for prayer as your lifestyle.
The word of God does not return to Him void. (Isah 55:11)
Take a moment to pray the word of God.
Give attention to the word in Acts 6:4 states, “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
PRAY ON THE WORD OF GOD BELOW
Genesis 6:5 states, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
The creator and perfect God saw it and said about the wickedness of all.
God saw the evil brand of wickedness.
The wickedness under heaven is evil and continual.
The wickedness of evil has been nonstop. 
Continual evil is the root of the lack of stability under heaven.
The antidote to instability is having the wisdom and knowledge of God.
Isaiah 33:6 points out, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
Jesus is the wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 1:3)
Knowledge belongs to knowing God, not just knowing about God.
One with wisdom and knowledge is with force (power) for deliverance, the strength to become saved in this wicked world. 
God is a jealous God that treasures it when there is fear for Him.
The conclusion of all is to fear God.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 states, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.”
PRAYER
Ask God to fill you with wisdom and knowledge to gain His stability and not become a victim of the wicked world.
Ask for the strength of salvation shall be activated in your life continually.
Ask God that you live life with the fear of His holy name.
In Jeremiah 32:39, God said, “I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them.”

Prayer for today: Ask that God look upon you to give you and your loved ones one heart and one way to fear Him forever.  

FAITH CAPSULE: The eyes of God are watching while none and the character can hide from God.

1 Samuel 2

Character counts before God. 
Testimonies of God over the life of some men like Abraham, Job, and David are evidence that the eyes of God are watching over all.
The word states evidence of the eyes of God that sees:
“Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.” (2 Chronicles 14:2) 
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth…” (2 Chronicles 16:9) 
“For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous…” (1 Peter 3:12) 
The whole world is not beyond God not to see or sport out every individual. 
God does not sleep nor slumber as He sees all. 
What are you doing that is hidden from all but open to the eyes of God? 
God testified about Abraham stating, “And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.” (James 2:23) Righteousness of Abraham was his action before God. 
The Bible states, “For the Lord is the God of knowledge; and by Him actions are weighed.” (1 Samuel 2:3)
How are you doing before the eyes of God?
God sees all.
God sees and testifies on behalf of Job, “Then the LORD said to Satan, ‘Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still, he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him to destroy him without cause.” (Job 2:3) 
God testifying His creation as a man of integrity must have been the result of having walked the walk and having lived the word of God. 
Besides Abraham and Job, David was referred to as a man after the heart of God. (1 Samuel 13:14) 
The same God yesterday, today, and tomorrow will not ignore anyone that lives up to His expectation. 
God is not a partial God but a God that is particular in seeing His creation live in line with His word. 
How are you living as a picture in the eyes of God? 
Are you an acclaimed believer living life for God, to be seen for His glory? 
God is not deceivable, as many are lying, deceiving, and manipulating others in the name of God. 
Many believers today have a church, with no Christ in their message, by their way of life.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous. 
In life, God does not ignore or look away from the righteous in times of challenges but attends to the challenges of the righteous.
Psalm 34:19 buttresses, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.”
The eyes of God are watching, but no character can hide from God.

Prayer for today: Ask that you will always listen for His lead and instruction for His glory.

FAITH CAPSULE: Do the simple by remembering the word of God.

Psalm 28, 63

Doing simple things before God will make heaven.
However, not doing simple things before God is enough to miss heaven.
Doing simple before God will gain the attention of God for one not live a life of waste.
One that is gaining attention, claiming to be doing more before God, but failing to do simple before God is bound not to count before God.
What is a simple thing you are failing to do before God?
What are you not engaging before God to deny you heaven, missing God?
The documentation of the visitation of Jesus at the home of Martha and Mary points out doing the simple that counts before Jesus.
The Bible records that Mary sat at the feet of Jesus listening, the evidence of doing simple.
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations she did before Jesus.
Martha was concerned about her doing more before Jesus, but Jesus responded to Martha stating, “You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42)
There is no excuse not to do more or simply before God.
Engage responsibly in doing what counts before God.
By conscience, of responsible doing before God.
What is the simple you are not doing before God?
As simple as remembering God will line one to set to gain the attention of God
In the new month, it is worthy for all to make it a way of life, remembering God to give regard to His works.
To remember God demands understanding of the word of God.
How will one that does not listen will understand the word of God?
Jesus rhetorically asks and answers why is a lack of understanding of the word.
John 8:43 states, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
Listening by studying the word will gain an understanding of the word of God.
It is important to remember the word of God.
Remembering comes with meditating on the word of God.
David testifies in Psalm 63:6, “When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.” 
Do the simple by remembering the word of God. 
Psalm 106:7 records the Israelites failed word to remember the doing of God: “They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.” (Psalm 106:7)
This month, make it a way of life, understand to remember the word of God, and remember to meditate.
One meditating will know giving regard to the word of God not to fail is a way of life. The Israelites fail to give regard to God. 
Psalm 28:5 records, “Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.”
One with an understanding of the word of God is bound to remember, meditate, give regard to God, and gain and retain the presence of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to give regard to Him consistently.

FAITH CAPSULE: Trusting and hoping the word of God is a way out.

Exodus 32:1-14, Philippians 4

As a believer of God, in your area of challenges of this world, are you experiencing affliction? 
Is it delay that is waging challenges to deny expectation?
Are your challenges taking longer than you do not perceive?
Are you beginning to lose sight of God for His divine intervention? 
As a believer, see your delay as deliverance on the way.
The word of God encourages all not to become a victim of discouragement waiting on God. Psalm 34:19 “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” 
Trusting and hoping the word of God is to know that a delay in the manifestation of expectation is not a denial. 
It is clear that delay or another kind of challenge is imminent, but God is faithful to fulfill His promise of deliverance for the true believer of His word. 
Ignoring delay in any area of life will block out doubt and the idea of stepping off the right track. 
Ignore delay!
Knowing whom you believe with a consistent meditation on His testimonies is encouraging to know there is a way where there is none.
Also, take to the word which states, “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.” (Philippians 4:6-7)
The Israelites experienced a delay that resulted in complaints and worries. 
The Bible 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.”(Exodus 32:1) 
The children of Israel knew quite well by their exposure to different miracles through Moses that God could not have abandoned them, yet they gave into an unnecessary worry that did not have a basis. 
As a result of the delay of Moses from coming down from the mountain, an unholy gathering took over from where there was supposed to be a holy gathering.
The Israelites saw a delay that turned them to seek another god. 
Some delays are necessary when God is at the beginning of such a journey. 
Also, there are places one has started, but the delay has made it look like wasting out. 
Today, waiting on God can never be wasted. 
Some delays are not of failure, but to make a way to get to the expected end. 
Take note that without faith, the delay will turn quickly out of the way of the word of God that delivers. 
Allow God by taking all your delay to God in prayer. 

Prayer for today: Ask God for the miracle of deliverance to answer in your direction.

FAITH CAPSULE: Knowing God is having a relationship with God.

Psalm 142, Daniel 6

One that does not know God becomes short of benefits encased in knowing God.
A commitment to giving regard to God will build a relationship with God. 
David was giving regard to God. 
David had a relationship with God. 
One with a relationship with God determines the kind of communication with God.
The relationship of David with God is evidenced by his communication with God when he states, “I cry out to the Lord with my voice; With my voice, to the Lord, I make my supplication. I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble. (Psalm 142:1-2) One that does not know God cannot have a special relationship by communicating with God.
Relationship with God is the evidence of knowing God.
In life, personalizing God is from giving regard to God constantly. Personalizing God builds up a relationship with God. 
Relationship with God is evidence of how much one knows God. 
Is it your desire to know God? 
God has given what it takes for one to be knowledgeable about Him. However, knowing God is a choice and not by force. 
One with the choice of knowing God will be full of the knowledge of God and not lack the knowledge of God. 
Just like David, Daniel knew God. 
The Bible testifies about Daniel stating that those who know their God shall do exploit. (Daniel 11:32) 
Truly Daniel did exploit when he lived as an overcomer through four different unbelieving kings that could hurt or terminate his life. 
Daniel constantly gave regard to God. 
In captivity, he did not complain, but he purposed heart not to defile himself with what is not of God. (Daniel 1:8) 
Daniel, a man of God, gave regard with his custom prayer approach to God. (Daniel 6:10)
David, Daniel lived life as an example of giving regard to God and knowing God.
One with the heart not to know God becomes short of the benefit encased in knowing good gracious God. 
To lack knowledge of God makes a man a vessel that perishes. 
The word of God states it clearly, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. (Hosea 4:6)
The lack of knowledge is evidence of one that does not give regard to God.
Giving regard to God is very crucial to navigate through the wicked word. Give God regard. 
The Bible cautions, “Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them and not build them up. (Psalm 28:5)
Give God all your regard; become built-in Him for your inheritance among the sanctified.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to have a relationship with Him by knowing Him.
