FAITH CAPSULE: When God remembers, He also rescues. 

Jeremiah 52

With no exception, God delivers in all challenges. 
Regardless of world challenges and affliction, it is worth having trust and hope in God for His divine intervention for deliverance.
Psalm 34:19 encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” 
Waiting on God in trust and hope shall experience that captivity will not captivate one waiting on God.
Jehoiachin was in captivity for thirty-seven years when God raised his head to bring him out of captivity. 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 of Babylon and the son of Nebuchadnezzar to lift the head of Jehoiachin. 
God is the only God that oversees the affairs of all under heaven to do and undo.
God shall put one in a position with power from God to carry out the deliverance agenda in one with challenges or affliction. 
Evil-Merodach was in the hand of God to lift the head of Jehoiachin. When God remembers, He also rescues. 
God remembers with favor and visits with salvation.
Having used Evil-Merodach to rescue Jehoiachin, God enabled the garment of Jehoiachin to become changed from the prison to the garment of one with the reversed garment of God.
The deliverance of God moved Jehoiachin from prison to be eating before King all days of his life. 
God is true to perform, and He is always doing in perfection. 
There is nothing that God is incapable of doing, and His capability has no measure to intervene for one in captivity.
The same God with deliverance and preservation visited Daniel in the den of hungry lions. 
The same God delivered Peter from the sudden death of Herod. 
The same God intervened to break the chain of prison over the life of Paul and Silas. 
Are you waiting on God by praying with understanding? 
Experiencing persistent challenges does not call to stop waiting on God prayerfully. 
God is a prayer-answering God. 
With understanding and knowledge, make it a note in your heart that God is a God of capability that brought the Israelites out of the bondage of over four hundred years.
God shall put the noise of the wicked to permanent silent for His glory. God is perfect to perform a miracle in the place of mockery.
There is none like God, and He makes a way where there is no way.
God alone reverses the irreversible. 
The name of God is not shareable by no other god.
 Hallow Him, adore Him as 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)

Prayer for today: Ask God for His divine intervention in all areas of challenges in your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: The mercy of God is attainable when one aligns with the word of God.

Psalm 150

Mercy belongs to God.
Romans 9:15 record the word of God, “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.”
Plead before God to gain His mercy. 
The mercy of God is also attainable when one aligns with the word of God.
Among ways to attain the mercy of God:
The mercy of God is attainable when one loves God
The obedience to God is the evidence of love for God that provokes God for His mercy. 
The Bible makes all realize that loving God is keeping His commandments (John 14:15). To love God is to fear God.  
The story of Joseph points out that Joseph kept the commandment of God by forbidding adultery when he fled away from sleeping with the wife of his master. Joseph loves God to obtain the mercy of God.
The mercy of God is attainable when one trusts God 
The Psalmist declared, “But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation” (Psalm 13:5). Trusting God will provoke the attainment of the mercy of God. Trusting God is looking up to God with no doubt. Looking up to God with an open heart before God will locate God for His mercy. 
Luke 17:13 records, “And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 
God is merciful. He does not run out of mercy for one that knows to trust and lift voice to Him.
The mercy of God is obtainable according to what one sows
It is a wise saying, “whatever a man sow is what a man will reap”
For example, as close as banana and plantain look-alike, to reap banana in the place of plantain will not happen, regardless of how look-alike they appear.
What are you sowing to reap?
Hosea 10:12 buttresses the word of God, “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy.” 
In your ways of life, be a merciful one to experience the mercy of God. Matthew 5:7 records, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” 
Live life by the word of God, be merciful, to attain the mercy of God.
The mercy of God is obtainable when one fears God 
Do you fear God by mouth or by your heart?
A heart that is not mindful of God is not possible to have fear for God.
Psalm 103:17 records for learning, “But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him…” Luke 1:50, “And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.” 
To fear God will undoubtedly gain the mercy of God.
One with the fear of God loves God, living by His word. 
The word of God is proven, is truth, and does not return to Him void. 
With understanding, know to fear God so that His mercy will reign and rule in your life.
Give self to the word of God, live life with the fear of God, to experience His mercy.

Prayer for today: Ask that you shall live life to gain the mercy of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: This month, know to be pleading for the mercy of God.

Psalm 150

It is a great privilege of God, His mercy but not a right for one to be seeing the light of a new day or the new month.
The breath of life is the doing of God, the mercy of God, not because of the right of one.
Job 12:10 points out, “In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?”
Job 33:4 testifies, “The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”
Without a doubt, it is the mercy of God to see day after day, week after week, month after month, or year after year.
One alive should resolve to praise God for His mercy, the privilege of the breath of life.
Psalm 150:6 speaks to all, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!”
It is an abuse of the privilege of God to be alive and be reduced to not thanking God, praising God for the mercy of having a life.
The challenge of life reduces one not to be praising God for His mercy at every breath of life.
All should know that challenges are bound to cease where it exists, and the word of God encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19)
With the mercy of God, the affliction of life, the challenge that persists can be a glimpse that is not permanent.
It is worthy to consistently acknowledges God for His mercy.
Praise and thank God at every moment for mercy to be alive.
It is not beyond God for His intervention in times of challenge in life.
Job 14:7 records the encouragement to know that there is hope for one not to abuse the privileged of the mercy of God to be alive. “For there is hope for a tree If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease.”
The mercy of God is enough to reverse any irreversible because God is the unchanging changer, and always good not to ignore when and where He desires to intervene over any challenge.
In this season of life, know to call on the mercy of God.
The mercy of God is not cheap, not of no one to command God for His mercy.
Assuming instead of asking for the mercy of God is an error.
Pleading, asking for the mercy of God in all areas of life, is evidence of not assuming in the place of asking, seeking, and knocking for the mercy of God.
With faith, ask and not assume but plead before God for His mercy in all endeavors.
At this moment in time, all should be pleading before God at the breath of life.
God is merciful and never runs out of mercy.
Plead for the mercy of God!

Prayer for today: Ask that the mercy of God that brought you this far shall not expire all the days He has given to your loved ones.

FAITH CAPSULE: One having a good conscience is having God in conscience 

1Timothy 1

It matters and counts to have a good conscience before God.
Have a good conscience before God, living obediently, as commanded for all to love.
The commandment of God for all is to love one other. 
Without the love for God, it is not possible to love others indeed and in truth!
1 John 4:8 records, “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”
Do you love God?
Do you love one other?
Galatians 5:14 records, “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 
Among the reasons for the commandment of God for all man is to love from a GOOD CONSCIENCE. 
1Timothy 1:5-6 states, “Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk.” 
One having a good conscience is having God in conscience, and it counts before God to carry the presence of God in the life journey.
It is the will of God for all to have the purpose of the commandment of having a good conscience.
Do you have a good conscience?
Having love from a good conscience will be striving for good conscience to live life for the glory of God.
Having a good conscience is doing right but not doing wrong before God. 
It is a good conscience that governs thoughts and actions.
Conscience is what convicts one to turn from what is not right doing. 
One with no conscience will live life in empty pride, the evidence of no love as commanded by God. 
Conscience convicts not to miss the presence of God.
The act of Pharisees approached Jesus for judgment over a woman caught in adultery, but Jesus ignored the request of the Pharisees. (John 8:7) 
The need for good conscience by the Pharisees was evident in the response of Jesus, “Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one…” (John 8:9) 
Strive for good conscience and not become a victim of a lack of love before God.
Paul, in his defense before Felix, made it known in his statement that good conscience is to strive, “This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.” (Acts 24:16) 
Having a conscience without offense toward God and man is a good conscience. 
With understanding and knowledge, learn, strive to have a good conscience, to love according to the purpose of the command of God.
Consciously examine your conscience, be of good conscience which is pleasing to God. 
Misplacing the purpose of the command displaces and not experiencing God in a challenge.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you with a mind full of good conscience.
