FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is a secret to dwell in and be delivered in the journey of life. 

Hebrews 11

Abraham lives a life of a believer.
Romans 4:3 testifies, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Know to believe in the word of God.
The word of God requires obedience and no compromise. 
To obey, dwell, and wait on the word of God is the testimony of the life of Abraham.
The bible records of Abraham, “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” (Hebrews 11:8-10)
Obedience: When God called Abraham out from his country, family, father’s house to an unknown land, he obeyed fully by launching out as commanded by God.
Abraham believed when there was no idea about his journey of obedience.
Abraham had no reasonable excuse to decline the calling upon his life but obeyed God by moving from certainty to uncertainty. 
Are you obeying to obtain good testimonies?
Dwelling: Abraham dwelt on the word of God. 
To be living life according to the word of is dwelling in the secret place of God. Psalm 91:1 buttresses, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Are you a truthful believer that knows to dwell in the word of God? 
Abraham dwelt in the word of God by not looking back to his country but going forward
according to the calling of God over his life.
Abraham dwelt under the shadow of the word of God and was able to move forward in the calling of God. 
With faith in the word of God, Abraham moved to a foreign country, and his faith caused him to obtain good testimonies.
Those that engage the word of God as a story are limited in understanding.
The word of God is a secret to dwell in and be delivered in the journey of life. 
Waiting: Abraham obeyed God; he dwelt and waited walking before God.
Those who know to dwell in God know to wait patiently on God. 
Hebrews 11:10 records the waiting of Abraham on God, “For he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” Indeed, Abraham lived by waiting for the future that was not in sight.
Waiting on the promise of God can be painful but is gainful for obedient ones.
In the documentation of Abraham, gaining understanding and knowledge, one will know to live a life for the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to learn right from Abraham.

FAITH CAPSULE: Wait on God, Know the truth to be free. 

Matthew 7 

The truth of God is the assurance to wait on God without regret.
One with the truth of God is on the side of the word of God that does not fail.
Many know about the truth but are not free.
One that knows the truth is set to be free.
Do you know about or know the truth?
Jesus is the truth of God that never fails. (John 14:6)
Are you a believer in the word of God?
John 8:31-32 states, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 
Abiding in the word of God is possible when there is knowledge of the truth of God. 
Knowledge is the application of wisdom. 
Understanding is paying attention to wisdom because wisdom is instruction.
Jesus wants all to know the truth that will make free possible.
Waiting on God will know the truth.
What is it about waiting on God?
Waiting is not fun when there is no knowledge of the truth about waiting.
Waiting in time of challenges demands to remain calm until expectation becomes manifested. 
Waiting on God can deliver answers such as yes, no, or to wait.
With knowledge of the truth, it is understanding asking, seeking, and knocking for the intervention of God. 
It is true to ask, seek and knock to gain the attention of God.
God will always act for those who wait on Him with knowledge of the truth. Isaiah 64:4-5 testifies, “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. You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways…” 
Isaiah 64:5 identifies three ways of truth that will provoke God for one that waits on Him:
God meets with him who rejoices.
God meets with one that does righteousness.
God meets with those who remember His ways.
Apostle Paul knows the truth of waiting and having God act when he repeatedly encourages rejoicing in the Lord always. (Philippians 4:4) 
The truth is to be awake, do right, not sin.
The word of God is indeed truthful for one that engages it to be free not to be a victim of a wicked world.
The word of God indeed encourages all to remind Him concerning the work of His hand. (Isaiah 43:26)
The word of God is not just a story but a secret that will deliver with the answer unto a believer. 
A believer with knowledge of the truth of the word of God will know to wait on God with expectation without frustration. 
Get knowledge and know that God acts for the one who waits for Him.

Prayer for today: Ask God to be open to the truth of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Are you answering as Christian?

Jeremiah 12 

Who are you?
Are you an acclaimed believer as a Christian?
The majority are answering as a Christian but not CHRIST-LIKE, by their way of living life. 
Following the word of God as the disciples of Jesus are CHRIST-LIKE just as it started in Antioch.
Acts 11:26 points out, “And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”
The majority answering as Christians are far from following the word of Christ but following the world.
The majority of acclaimed Christians are not as disciples in Antioch but are with the character of telling lies, deceiving, and manipulating their world.
Who are you?
Seek God diligently answering as Christ-like.
Are you an acclaimed believer that carries the Bible (the word of God) in the head but not in the heart, not allowed the word in the ways of life? 
Are you an acclaimed believer who talks than to listen to hear from God?
Are you walking from God in the place to walk with God or walk in Him?
Enoch walked with God. (Genesis 5:21-24)
Noah walked with God (Genesis 6:9) 
Abraham walked before God when God called him out to walk before Him. (Genesis 17:1) 
The word of God points that walking with God, walking before God, is walking in Him. Colossians 2:6 states, “As you, therefore, have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.”
Who are you?
Are you talking about the word of God but not walking the word of God?
Talking without walking the word will not deliver the power in the word of God.
Isaiah 54:17 records, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn…” 
Are you quoting the word of God but not living by the word of God?
Without walking the word of God, expecting the manifestation of the power of God is in self-deception. 
God is not a careless giver to one that does not walk in His word.
Who are you?
Are you wicked and not knowing that you God sees all?
Many believers, not just unbelievers, are wicked.
Before God, Jeremiah 12:1-2 points out who is wicked, 
“Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth But far from their mind.”
Believers with the word of God in the mouth but far from the heart are wicked.
Who are you?
Get to know yourself to give back to God by seeking Him.
From today, declare a desire to give more to God.
Serving God is not about asking for what is needed.
In the place of asking from God, search for yourself to identify what you will give back to God.
Be mindful of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that be enabled to seek God more diligently.

FAITH CAPSULE: The message from God is for all to love God.

1 Corinthians 13

Under heaven, if the acclaimed believers know God not know about God, darkness should not be prevailing as much as it is today.
Many are gathering as a believer of God but far from God, with no room for the word of God taking over the way of life. 
As a believer, in your place of assumed worshiping ground, are you expecting the move of the power of God? 
Expecting the power of God where there is no love for God to keep the word of God is self-deception. 1 John 4:8 admonishes, “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” 
The message from God is for all to love God.
Today, seek and give self to the message of God for all creation.
1John1:5 also identifies the message of God, “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declares to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.”  God is light, and one that knows Him shall reflect Him. Without a doubt, if acclaimed believers thronging ground of worship in the name of God knows God, indeed truth, darkness would probably have disappeared on the face of the earth. 
Today, the darkness of wickedness is hoovering the whole world.
With self-sincerity, have a desire that God will search you has the Psalmist 139:23-24 records, “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.” Search self to know God by His word, rather than to know about God.
Know God by keeping His commandment. 
1John 2:3-5 testifies, “Now by this, we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this, we know that we are in Him.”  
Get to know God to know the love of God.
1Corinthians 13:4-8 records the love of God, “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.”  
With a desire for God to take charge of your life, prayerfully ask God to enable you.

Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to be established over your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Give back to God by seeking Him diligently.

Daniel 1

Think of what to give back to God in the place of always asking from God.
Seeking God with a custom approach will gain the attention of God not to become a victim of the wicked world.
Daniel lives a life of seeking God with a custom approach that delivered him from the wicked law not to terminate his life.
Daniel was a young captive when Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon besieged Jerusalem.
In the early days of Daniel as the captive, the King requested for young men in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who could serve in the palace.” (Daniel 1:4)
Daniel and others were to be treated with the daily provision of the delicacies and the wine of the King for three years of training to become serving the King.
Daniel refused to accept the offer of the King.
The book of Daniel 1:8 records, “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore, he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.”
The response of David is of one that seeks God but not man.
The response of Daniel was as sowing a seed of deliverance for his life.   
Daniel had a custom of seeking God since his early days.
In your life, do you have the custom approach (way, a practice) of seeking God?
Besides, running in and out of praying before God, do you have a unique (uncommon) means of seeking God?
Having the custom to seek God is not a casual way but should be seeking God diligently.
Daniel was committed to seeking God continually and could not fail God.
The custom of seeking God is like a seed that should not die but remain alive before God.
The custom way of Daniel was his seed, sown before God since his early days.
The life of Daniel demonstrates what it means to plant and reap from the seed of deliverance in times of troubling challenges. 
Daniel 6:10 points to all about the seed of deliverance of Daniel, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.” 
The custom of Daniel was the seed sown that delivered him in the time of challenge.
When having a custom of seeking God that acts for those who wait on Him, such cannot be possible to become a victim of the wicked world.
Sow the seed of seeking God continually and be counted as having a custom approach to God without failing.

Prayer for today: Ask God to take charge of your life to seek Him alone.
