FAITH CAPSULE: A believer is living by the word, not of the world of wicked.

Jeremiah 12

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. (Jeremiah 12:1-2) 
Does the word speak to you? 
Are you claiming not to be a wicked one? 
King David did not assume but renewed before God not to live a life of waste as a wicked one.
David states, “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)
Ask not to be a wicked one.
Seek God with the desire to be led in the way everlasting like David asked.  
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 records the question before Jesus, “Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
The answer of Jesus points out to be a believer stating, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” (John 6:29)
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. 
Is that you? 
How can it be that food coming out of the kitchen with salt should be tasteless? 
Jesus said, “You 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” (Matthew 5:13). 
Pray not to be the salt that is not effective but lost its purpose.
BELIEVER AS LIGHT
The word of God speaks to believers, “You are the light of the world…” (Matthew 5:14)
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.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to be living life as called by God.

FAITH CAPSULE: All should open for the entrance of the word of God.

John 1:1-18

With no exception, the need in this wicked world of darkness is to have the light of God.
What is the light of God?
To understand what is the light of God, John 8:12 records, “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” 
The recording in John 9:5 emphasizes the truth that Jesus is the light, saying, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Why not give self to the light of God?
To gain the light of God is not by force. 
One that accepts the light of God will not stumble in darkness.
John 11:10 admonishes, “But if one walks in the night, he stumbles because the light is not in him.”
Is it your desire to give yourself to the light of God?
Give yourself to the light for your deliverance and preservation. 
One with an opening for the light of God is set for the life journey not to be a victim of a wicked world.
Psalm 119:130 testifies, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.” 
One with the light of God shall live with understanding not to fall.
With understanding, gain knowledge to expect deliverance and preservation in the hand of God.
Job 3:23 records, “Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, and whom God has hedged in?”
With the light of God is with the hand of God that will hedge one that accepts the light of God.
Have you accepted the light of God?
In the light of God is the hand of God that is certain to keep one having the light of God.
The testimony of Job is the reason to accept the light of God.
Call on God for His hand as a hedge against the evil occurrence.
Job 1:6-10 documents the testimony of Job
“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?”

So, Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” 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? “So, Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.”
All should be open up to accept the word of God that gives light to deliver and preserve from evil.

Prayer for today: Ask God for His word to gain entrance into your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is alive and demands attention.

Jeremiah 1 

The word of God is God.
John 1:1 points out, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
The word of God is living and powerful.
Hebrews 4:12 enlightens, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
The word of God is the power and made all.
John 1:3 confirms, “All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made.”
Unquestionably, the living word of God is the power to make possibility out of impossibility in every area of life.
Do you have an understanding of the word of God?
Do you know the power of the word of God?
The majority do not know the word of God but only know about the word of God.
Jesus, in one of His journeys, must have realized the lack of understanding of the word of God by the people when He spoke rhetorically, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.” (John 8:43)
Understanding the word of God to experience the power of the living word of God demands a LISTENING-ABILITY.
One with listening ability shall experience the characters of the word of God to gain the edge in the journey of life.  
ONE OF THE CHARACTERS OF THE WORD OF GOD IS: 
THE WORD OF GOD IS MOVE-ABLE TO LOCATE AND GIVE DIRECTION 
The living word of God is life, move-able to locate whomever God chooses to give direction in the journey of life.
Jonah received the calling of God when the word located him with the direction.
Jonah 1:1-2, “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.” 
The word of God located Jonah.
Jeremiah was located by the word of God several times for direction and to see in the unseeable situation. 
Jeremiah testifies, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.” (Jeremiah 1:11-12)
The living word of God does not stagnate but moves. 
The word of God moved to call Jonah for direction, to call on Jeremiah to see the unseeable situation, for him to move, not to become a failure in the assignment of God over his life.

Prayer for today: Ask that the word of God will locate you to live life for His will. 

FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is the work of His hand. 

Judges 4

One gives to listening to the word of God shall undoubtedly gain understanding and know the power of the word of God that is in position to engage for attainment in the journey of life.
The character of the word of God is not to fail and is like a fire, a hammer to break ever assumable unbreakable force in life.
THE WORD OF GOD IS THE UNFAILING WORD OF GOD
Isaiah 55:11 confirms, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” 
It is the character of the word of God not to return void to God without accomplishment for God.
Are you with understanding to call, to remind God of the promises in His word?
The word of God is the work of His hand. 
All the work (word) of His hand has never failed. 
With understanding, remind God that never forget will experience the unfailing of His word. 
God encourages all, “Thus says the Lord, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.” (Isaiah 45:11) 
With understanding, engage the word of God that does not fail.
THE WORD OF GOD WORD LIKE FIRE
John 1:1 states the word God is God, and Hebrews 11:29 points out, “For our God is a consuming fire.” 
God that creates heaven and earth also preserves and reserves heaven and earth. 2 Peter 3:7 records, “But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 
By the testimony of the word of God is fire, call the word of God as fire, with the expectation to burn off all that is not of God hibernating in your life.
The book of Jeremiah 23:29 confirms the word of God like fire, “Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”
Gain understanding, know to call on the fire nature of the word of God to burn all that does not represent God in your life. 
To refine you, shine for God to His glory.
THE WORD OF GOD WORD LIKE HAMMER
Gain an understanding of the word of God as a hammer force to experience victory over forces of hindrances.
A hammer is a weapon used against Sisera, the commander of the army of Jabin, the King of Canaan, by Jael, wife of Herber, to deliver victory for the Israelites. (Judges 4) 
Remind God of His word as a hammer against forces of the hindrance to your life.
Gain the character of the word of God, and know to have the edge in the journey of life.

Prayer for today: Ask that the word of God shall become established in your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Among ways of life is confessing positive with no negative before God.

Numbers 14

Isaiah 65:24 records the word of God, “It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.” 
Do you know to call on God?
Are you calling on Him with no answer?
David demonstrates the understanding to call on God as 2 Samuel 22:4, Psalm 18:3 states, “I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so, shall I be saved from my enemies.” 
Engage God by His word.
God said, “I will hear before they call,” David knows, and he said, ‘I will call.
Are you sure of getting answers when you call on God? 
With faith, without a doubt, David was sure of getting a result because he demonstrates that there is an answer in calling on the only gracious and merciful God that hears before is called. 
God promised to answer before the call on, also said that He hears while speaking to Him. 
In your calling or speaking, know to avoid negative confession but let positive confession be your communication before God because He hears at all times.
Are you confessing positive or negative in your communication that He hears?
The Israelites confessed negatively before God, and God heard with response to the Israelites. Numbers 14:27-28 records “…I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me. Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the LORD, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you.” 
Often, man forgets that God that gives an ear does have an ear to hear. 
Understand and know that God answers calls, and He also pays attention to hear while you speak. 
Concerning your challenges, what are you communicating to God or before God?
Most times, life is affected by the words of mouth and 
Proverbs 18:21 warns, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”  
Often, confessing positive gives positive answers, while negative confessions give negative. 
All should be aware that God hears and not stop to hear.
Take control of your mouth. 
Ecclesiastes 5:6 warns, “Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error…” 
As much as there is nowhere to hide from God, it is true that your spoken words cannot be hidden from God without Him hearing you. 
Why not abstain from speaking negative words but positively to the hearing of God?
Are you one that truly believes that God hears? 
Begin to speak positive, understand, and know He hears and answers all.

Prayer for today: Ask God to fill you with understanding in all your ways of life.
