WITH SIN?

FAITH CAPSULE: Sin is not seeking God and will not see God. 

Exodus 32

With pride is an engaging personal ride to self-destruction.  
A decorated name for sin is PRIDE. 
One with the desire to live life for the glory of God is seeking God diligently not to despise God but will take a position to see God. 
Despising the word of God will set one for self-destruction. (Proverbs 13:13) 
In life, one that is despising the word of God will sink into sin. 
Sin is not seeking God and will not see God. 
Diligently seeking God does not have a place for telling lies as a way of life, deceiving and manipulating others. 
Does that speak to you?
Come out of sin to seek God that sees all with nothing hidden from Him.
God hears and sees all. 
2 Chronicles 16:9 informs all, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…”  
Gain understanding and knowledge in the word of God that no one can hide sin from God.
Sin is a sin before God; sin can last for a thousand years, but a day is enough for God to expose a thousand years.
Are you conversant with telling lies, deceiving to manipulate your world? 
With lies to deceive others, claiming miracle that is not of God shall provoke the judgment of God at His appointed time. 
Seek God diligently, come out of sin abhor iniquity. 
Seek God with no deception.
The word of God warns, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” (Matthew 7:21-23) 
Every life of sin is not seeking God but getting exposed to the devil for self-destruction. 
There is no presentation of lies as truth before God.
Romans 3:7-8 testifies, “For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”? —as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.” 
Does the word speak to you?
Be truthful with no deception. 
Come out of sin to seek God diligently.
Sins can be a stumbling force that denies finding God when seeking God. 
With sin, no one can see God.
Give self to repentance to find God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the deliverance of God over your life from living a life of sin.

SUBMIT TO GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: Submission to God shall follow God in life.

Genesis 22

Live a life of submission to God.
Submission to God is to give self to God, following not to miss the kingdom of God.
In the journey of life, there is no excuse for rich or poor from following God, otherwise, not to make the kingdom of God shall be for not following God.
In the journey of life, whatever a man is holding onto against the command of God is not in submission to God, will not follow God to make it to the kingdom of God. 
What is it that you are holding on to and not submitting yourself to the command of God?
Abraham, a rich one, submitted to the command of God for him to sacrifice the life of his son. 
In his attempt to sacrifice his only son, God spoke to him in Genesis 22:12 records, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” 
Abraham fears God to follow the command of God, and God testifies the fear of Abraham for His name.
In life, whatever holds one not to give self to the word of God, such will not follow God but to miss the kingdom of God.
Are you with desires to make it to the kingdom of God, a life of eternity?
Submit to the word of God in your way of life.
Elisha, regardless of his wealth, submitted to follow the calling of God over his life. 
When God called Elisha, through Elijah, he responded, “…Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you…” (1 Kings 19:20) 
At the initial answering of Elisha to the calling upon his life, he was reluctant to follow God because he was not ready to follow God. Eventually, Elisha gave up all in submission to follow God. 1 Kings 19:21 records,  “So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.” 
In life, what is it that is holding you back from following God?
Is it your property or family that is holding you back from following God? 
Jesus identifies what it takes to follow Him, “…you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.” (Matthew 19:28-30)
Live life for God by following His command to make the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God, that is not fiction.

Prayer for today: Ask that you shall live life follow God fully.

KNOW IT!

FAITH CAPSULE: The manner of praising God matters as the mark of being mindful of God 

Psalm 47

With understanding, praising, thanking God will stand before God as a reasonable sacrifice the evidence of seeking God diligently. 
The Bible testifies, “For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.” (Psalm 47:7) 
In life, giving an understanding to seeking God will grant access to God that is waiting to act for those who seek Him.
Are you praising or giving thanks to God with understanding?
Understanding, praising, and thanking God should be rooted in the heart but not at the tips of the mouth. 
Praising God is placing God gloriously high.
Continually praising or thanking God is seeking to be raised before the presence of God.
Praising God is not entertainment to impress a man but a vehicle to enter and locate God for His presence. Psalm 100:4 points it out, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise…” 
To be gaining entrance to the presence of God is like praise worship that is sacrificing God diligently.
Praising God is not a display of talent before God but a way of gaining a place in the presence of God. 
Psalm 22:3 buttresses, “But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.” 
Give self to praising God with understanding to gain His presence.
One with the life of praising God should be the character that positions a man in the presence of God. 
Psalm 50:23 records, “Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.” 
Give God glory by living a life of praising God for His.
Praising God with self-consciousness is understanding and knowledge to come out of self to give to God that creates all for His pleasure.
Psalm 69:30 records, “I will praise the name of God with a song and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.” Giving self to praising God is seeking God diligently with the expectation to be raised before God. 
The seeking of God by King David is evident in the bringing of the ark of God back to his city. 
Bible records, “Then David danced before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord…” (2 Samuel 6:14-16)
The manner of praising God matters as the mark of being mindful of God by David. He was praise-full and testified his way of life before God.
Are you praise-full before God?

Prayer for today: Ask from God the understanding of praising God.

BELIEVE IN GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: Worshipping God is the evidence of believing God.  

Genesis 12

The will of God is for all to serve God, worshiping God. 
Worshipping God will separate to God. 
One with the love of things in the world denies not worshiping God.
Are you giving to worshipping God or the things of the world?
Worshipping God will engage the will of God to abide in God. 
1 John 2:15-17 buttresses, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” 
Worshipping God is the evidence of believing God. 
Worshipping God is a way to find God. 
Are you seeking God while surrounded by the filth of the wicked world? Separate yourself to God, serve God diligently to locate and gain His presence.
God demands all to seek Him diligently because He rewards those who seek Him diligently. (Hebrews 11:6) 
Separation unto His command is always a high order of one that worships Him obediently. 
Abraham separated himself to God as commanded by God when he answered the calling of God to depart his country, his family, to an unknown land to him. (Genesis 12:1-2) 
Every separation to God counts before God and will count for an uncommon assignment. 
The separation of Abraham to the word of God was accounted to him for righteousness because it was evidence that he believed God. (Romans 4:3)
When a man conspicuously responds to the word of God by denying engagement to the love of the world, it becomes a separated one to God. 
Give yourself to worshipping God. 
Separation to God is the avenue that leads to assessing and possessing all that God has in place for any that can obediently separate to Him. 
God does not force to be worshipped but expects all to worship to exist for Him.
|However, God will call one to give to worship while answering belongs to man. 
Abraham could not substitute worshiping God for any things of the world.
As an acclaimed believer, do you live life worshiping God?
What is it of the world that has taken the center of your life? 
What is it that is denying you not to worship God?
Until a man is empty of things of the world, there will be no space for God to occupy such.
Worshipping God is worthy for all. 
Revelation 4:11 identifies, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will, they exist and were created.”
Live life for God!

Prayer for today: Ask that you will know to live the life of worshipping God.

GOD REMEMBERS

FAITH CAPSULE: With faith, not with doubt, know to remind God.

Genesis 8

God sees all is the reason why He cannot forget but remembers.
2 Chronicles 16:9 informs all, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore, from now on you shall have wars.”
Do you know God to put Him remembrance for your expectation?
God is the perfect creator that does not forget but will remember all. Isaiah 43:25-26 points out the reason one should know God for His goodness by reminding Him not because He forgets, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.”
Get to know God in His word by giving yourself to the word of God.
Through the pages of the Bible, it is clear that God does not forget but expects all to remind Him.
He Is God that remembers.
For example, God that rained and it flooded could not forget.
The sin in the days of Noah, forty days and night rained, and God could not forget.
God remembered Noah in the flood of water of sin and affliction and subsided.
Genesis 8:1 records, “Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.”
God waits to act for waiting on Him.
One in time of challenges should know to remind God that does not forget to deliver.
Ask, seek and Knock is the order of God for all not to be discouraged from seeking God for His intervention. (Matthew 7:7)
Ask, seek, and knock is to Pray, to watch with expectation for manifestation.
Asking is waiting, and one should ask from Him according to His word.
King David was a man after the heart of God, and he knows to remind God. Psalm 25:6-7 records, “Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindness, For they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness sake, O Lord.”
Besides King David, Psalmist also reminds God in Psalm 106:4, saying, “Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation.” 
All should learn from the word of God to know and do, to claim the promise of God.

Prayer for today: 
Ask that flood of affliction that does not represent God in your life be subsided permanently in the name of Jesus.
Ask against the rain of affliction in your life.
Ask God to remember you with favor and visit you with salvation.
