FAITH CAPSULE: What do you rely on to live life to the glory of God?

John 1

The word of God is God.
John 1:1 confirms, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Why not choose to live life by relying upon the word of God that has been since the beginning?
John 1:2 mentions, “He was in the beginning with God.”
Why not rely on the word of God that creates all created on earth?
John 1:3 mentions, “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
Why not give yourself to the word of God to gain life, the light of God?
John 1:4 speaks to all, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
What do you rely on to live life to the glory of God?
Why not rely on God?
Relying on the word of God is relying on God to experience healing and deliverance.
Psalm 107:20 testifies to the word of God, “He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.” 
Relying on God is the character of those who know God.
Knowing about God does not know God to understand why to rely on God.
Relying upon God is the character of one with wisdom and knowledge encased in the word of God.
Proverbs 2:6 records, “For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
Ecclesiastes 7:12 states, “For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.”
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.”
The reasons to rely on God are written all over the pages of the Bible.
One that learns from the word of God shall know to rely on God.
Romans 15:4 records for all: “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” 
One that will begin to spend time in the word of God shall know to rely on God continually, not to become a victim of evil.
Without a doubt, relying on God will experience the safety of abiding in the presence of God.
Psalm 91:1-2 records, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
The secret of God is the word of God.
Relying on the word of God is entering to dwell and abide in the presence of God.
Gain a hiding place in the word of God by relying on it.
Relying on God will not fail. 
In this wicked world, hiding is not evidence of weakness but applying wisdom. 
Today, learn and know to rely on the word of God, to be hiding trust and hope in God.
Speak to the month, call it: the month of relying on God.

Prayer for today: Ask for understanding, to know to always rely on God. 

FAITH CAPSULE: Know God, rely on God not to be a victim of waste.

Exodus 33

Relying on God is the character of one that knows God.
One that only knows about God does not know to rely on God.
One that knows God will not walk their way but seek from God ways to engage for arrival at the desired journey of life, to the glory of God. 
Moses demonstrated reliance on God for His way to lead him. Exodus 33:12-13 records, “Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this person.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now, therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” 
What do you rely on to get on the right way?
Moses relied on God not to miss out on the way of God.
God responded to the question of Moses, “And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Exodus 33:14)
Moses relied on God to gain the answer and the rest of God.
One that knows God will know to rely on God by waiting on God that waits to act for those who wait on Him.
Isaiah 64:4 mentions, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
Do you know God?
What is it that stops you from seeking to know God?
It is true to rely on God, waiting on Him to gain strength, when to walk or run.
Isaiah 40:31 testifies, “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”
Know God, rely on God not to be a victim of waste by walking or running wrongly.
One that knows God will know to question God in faith but not in doubt.
One that relies on God is relevant to inquisitive with faith, before God.
Do you know God to live life by relying on Him when engaging in endeavors?
Do you know God, or do you know about Him? 
God brought you this far.
Challenging is troubling and should not prompt one to rely on anyone.
Proverbs 25:19 warns all, “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.
The mercy of God shall see you through this time, living life for the glory of God.
Meditate prayerfully that this month shall be for continual rely on God in all endeavors.
Relying on God provokes victory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that God enable you to Meditate prayerfully that this month shall be for continual rely on God in all endeavors.

FAITH CAPSULE: Direction is in the word of God not to fail.

Genesis 26:1-33

In these coming days, live by the direction in the word of God. Learn from Isaac to know that enemies shall be at peace with you in all endeavors of life. 
Genesis 26:1-3 records, “There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar. Then the Lord appeared to him and said: “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. 3 Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.” 
God communicated with Isaac. 
In the time of famine, God commanded Isaac to stay put. 
Often time, when the word of God for direction sounds impossible to one, hearing and giving self to the command of God leads to disobedience. 
In the time of Isaac, the word of God with the direction was received obediently by Isaac. 
God directed Isaac to stay in Gerar.
In famine time, having a well for sustenance becomes unarguably necessary. 
Isaac repeatedly ran into a confrontation over the digging of wells. 
He knew well that his part of the world could not have survived without wells. 
However, every effort by Isaac and his servants to have a productive life made them dig wells. 
At Gerar, the peace of Isaac, his servants were troubled repeatedly for wells dug by the servants of Isaac. 
Isaac avoids challenges moving from the spot of challenges but obediently obeys the command of God to remain in Gerar.
Just like Isaac, are you facing a challenge wanting to offset you from obeying the direction of God?
In your challenge, allow the direction of God to provoke your victory over enemies of your life.
One with the character of giving self to the direction in the word God shall experience celebration instead of frustration, shall become elevated with favor, stagnation will be converted to motion, to excel for the glory of God.
The obedience of Isaac before God was in line with walking with God. 
Isaac focused on the direction of God, for him not to become a victim of the enemies of his life.
Isaac is a testimony of one that gives self obediently to the word of God, ignoring the challenges of his world.
Isaac pleased God in the journey of his life.
Proverbs 16:7 confirms the evidence that God expects obedience to His direction to experience His backing in endeavors stating, “When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies be at peace with him.” 
The early hostility and disagreement of the people of Gerar towards Isaac turned to peace for Isaac.  
Walking in the direction in the word of God shall experience the promises of God over your life.

Prayer for today: Ask that you shall live life in obedience to God and not become distracted by the challenges of life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Disallowed your glorious past not to replace your reliance on God for direction.  

1 Samuel 30

King David was a man of war from an early age. 
God identified David as a man after His heart.
When Goliath, the Philistine, stood between the Israelites and peace, David stood against him to terminate his life.
David was wise-full of the move of God, the evidence of him as one that is mindful of God.
By his wisdom and knowledge, he did not upset the plan of God to force his way to the throne but gave himself to the appointed time of God.
How often have you come out of the timing plan of God into self-time?
David had the reason to kill the reigning king (Saul) when Saul attempted to kill him.
Yet David did not take the life of Saul but waited for the appointed time to become the King after Saul. 
With wisdom and knowledge, he chose to run and hide from cave to cave, wilderness to wilderness, and from one priest to another. 
From David, learn wisdom and knowledge to be inquiring from God. 
At a time when King Saul was after his life, David wanted to keep his father and mother safe as stated: “Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me.” So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.” (1 Samuel 22:3) 
David also inquired from God before going after the Amalekites burned the city and took captive wives, sons, and daughters of his men. 
Bible records, “David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail to recover all.” (1 Samuel 30:8) 
David disallowed his glorious past not to replace his reliance on God for direction. 
David inquired as he “…attacked them from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled. So David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away, and David rescued his two wives. And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all.” (1 Samuel 30:17-19) 
Inquiring from God is the evidence of one that is after the heart of God.
Inquiring is the character of one with faith that seeks God diligently, to see God, to attain great exploit for the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the God-given days of your life shall know to be continual inquiring for reliance on God for direction.

Faith Capsule: The arresting light of God re-route life journey.

Acts 9

At the timing of God to call anyone, there will be nowhere to hide or run from God not to answer.
Have you been running away from the calling of God?
Regardless of how long you have been running from God, there will be an appointed time to catch one running from Him.
To run or hide from the assignment of God can be working against the work of God.
Saul (Apostle Paul) ran against the work of God.
Saul was going against believers to persecute them when God arrested him. 
Acts 9:1-2 records, “Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.” 
Saul (Apostle Paul) purposed evil, but God disposed of his plan when he came under the arrest of Jesus.
Saul took to a dark avenue against God, but the light of God arrested him.
Acts 9:3 records, “As he journeyed, he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.” 
The light of God around Saul exposed him to arrest him by answering to the calling of God, “And he said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ Then the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’” So he trembling and astonished said, ‘Lord, what do you want me to do?’ Then the Lord said to him, ‘Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.’” (Acts 9:5-6)   
The arresting light of God re-routed the life journey of Saul.
Saul had his name changed from Saul to Paul. 
Above all, the light which arrested Saul empowered him to live his remaining life under the unfailing light of God. 
With the light on him, he could not misstep in the calling of God upon his life. 
Walking into darkness failed in the life of Paul.
The light that brought Saul out from darkness gave him new spiritual eyesight. 
The light became the compass for Paul as he operated heaven on earth through all his life.
Are you running from the calling of God?
With God, there is no darkness to deny light from exposing one that is running or hiding from God. 
Now is time for you to stop running from the calling of God upon your life.
God will back you up when He calls you. 
Be encouraged by the word of 1 Thessalonians 5:24, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”  

Prayer for today: Ask for the light of God to shine on you that you may fully answer His calling upon your life.
