FAITH CAPSULE: All year-long delay is not a denial of manifestation of expectation.

1 Samuel 1

All year long, searching for a solution for unacceptable challenges looks impossible. 
Does that sound like you? 
It is time to become diligent, studious seeking God.
Disregard delay of intervention for the manifestation of expectation but focus on God.
Without a doubt, time and the process of time belong to God, and He shall visit your challenge for your deliverance.
God is not a partial God.
Be persistent by waiting on God, the evidence of faith.
With God, it is never too late to receive from God.
At the age of forty, Isaac took Rebekah as his wife.
At sixty years of age, Isaac had his first child. 
Isaac waited for twenty years before Rebekah had a child.
Twenty years must have been long years for Isaac to experience manifestation of his expectation.
However, Isaac was not quiet before God but waited to have a child.
Genesis 25:21 records, “Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.”  
The history of the long waiting of Abraham before having a child could not discourage Isaac from asking and pleading with God. 
Have you been pleading to God for His intervention concerning any challenge in your life?
Be encouraged and know that it is never too late to keep on waiting and pleading before God for His intervention.
The year running out is not enough to run out of patience to wait on God.
Joseph was the apple eye of his father (Jacob).
At the age of seventeen, he was on an errand for his father to go and check his brothers.
Joseph could not set eyes again for many years.
Waiting on the intervention of God for Joseph to set eyes back on God was impossible for years.
Trust and hope in God that re-united Joseph and Jacob will also count as evidence that your challenge shall cease.
It is possible! 
It is possible that your year-long shall be visited by the intervention of God at His appointed time.
God is a God of possibility.
Be encouraged, knowing that God does not sleep over your challenge. 
In the coming days, weeks, months, or years your mockery shall be converted to a miracle in the name of Jesus. 
All-year-long delay of manifestation of expectation is not all time denial of expectation but an appointed time of God.
The God who granted Isaac will grant your expectation in the name of Jesus. 
The same God that eventually brought a reunion between Joseph and Jacob after the pain of over thirteen years will acknowledge your pain to favor you at His appointed time. 

Prayer for today: Ask that the mercy of God shall locate you that mockery change to a miracle.

FAITH CAPSULE: God is still visiting His people.

Matthew 7

To be walking in obedience to the word of God.
Living life obedient to the command of God is a certainty to gain and retain the presence of God. 
Obedience to God is the evidence of faithfulness, not disobedience to the word of God to be a vessel of evil.
John 14:21 records, “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
Obey God continually to provoke the visitation of God without ceasing.
To be spiritually sensitive.
One that is in position before God to experience the visitation of God but without spiritual sensitivity is possible not to engage the visitation of God.
Samuel experienced gaining the visitation of God while he was living in the presence of God.
Samuel, while living in the presence of God, it was Eli that guided him to gain and retain the visitation of God.
Spiritually sensitive is to be spiritually awake and not miss out on divine visitation that positions one in the assignment of God.
With spiritual sensitivity, sanctify your environment where you stand, sit or walk. 
Spiritually, one should be wise and be watchful to gain and retain the visitation of God. 
Abraham could not miss unexpected divine visitation when he received the message of the son of promise and the message to deliver Lot from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18)
To be praiseful before God.
Where God is present is the evidence of His visitation.
Psalm 22:3 testifies, “But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel”
Praising God with understanding provokes the visitation of God.
Praising and giving thanks to God is like being pregnant with the wonders of God. 
Thanksgiving to God delivered the visitation provision of God in the place of lack (John 6:6-11)
With understanding, praising and giving thanks to God shall provoke the visitation of God.
Psalm 92:1 stated, “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High…” 
Be thankful and praiseful to gain and retain the visitation of God.
Word of God is instruction. 
One that is outside of the instruction word of God will not experience the visitation of God.
In life, one with a desire to be experiencing the visitation of God should know to ask and seek from God that does not ignore one that engages in His word that does not return void to Him.
Matthew 7:7 encourages, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
As one desires, God shall deposit all it takes to experience the visitation of God.

Prayer for today: As one desire, God shall deposit all it takes to experience the visitation of God. 

FAITH CAPSULE: God is still visiting His people as it was in the early days of His creation.

Exodus 19

God is a God of visitation that visits His creation.
The book of Genesis to Revelation records the visitation of God, and He is still the God of visitation till the present times. 
For example, God visits the children of the Israelites for salvation.
Exodus 3:16 records the message of God for the Israelites through Moses about the plan of His visitation to the Israelites, “Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt.”
Besides the visitation of God for salvation, among other reasons to experience the visitation of God are:
To be spiritual before God.
To engage in prayer effectively.
To be walking in obedience to the word of God.
To be spiritually sensitive.
To be praiseful before God.
To be spiritual before God.
To be spiritual is to be prepared to receive from God by separating self from worldly engagement to God. 
For example, spending time in the word of God continually is taking a position to experience the visitation of God in His word. 
God gave His word to Moses for His people, “Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.” (Exodus 19:10-11) 
Prescription in the word of God was to prepare the Israelites and be ready to experience God. 
One that prepares for God should walk out of the life of sin.
Romans 3:23 points out, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
With sin, no man can reach God but to be spiritual is to experience Godly visitation.
To effectively engage prayer.
Engaging prayer effectively is to shut in with God and shut out the world. All with the expectation to experience the visitation of God should prayerfully seek God diligently at the prayer altar to encounter the divine visitation of God. 
Jeremiah 29:13-14 records, “And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity…” 
Without a doubt, prayer is an opening key to assess the presence of God for His wonders.
One that finds God in prayer is one that God founds, the evidence of the experience of the visitation of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that Lord God enable you to be in a position to experience His visitation continually.

FAITH CAPSULE: Doubt is not of God but with an attempt to deny the hand of God.

Matthew 14:22-36

What is holding one down that not to experience the hand of the Gift of God?
Do you believe or are you with doubt that the Gift of God is here, not that He is coming?
Jesus, the gift of God, testifies, “…I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.” 
Jesus is here to give life abundantly where doubt should not have a place.
It is the doubtful one that will be denied not to experience the Gift of God.
Jesus said, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? (Luke 24:38) 
With doubt, faith will drown.
Jesus encourages all, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. (John 14:1)
Faith is what pleases God. 
Faith is a key to ask, to receive from God. 
Are you a believer with faith? 
When believers operate faith like a floating balloon, doubt can deflate the balloon to become grounded. 
The word of God demands faith and no doubt. 
James 1:6 bolstered against doubt, “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.”
Once, the disciples of Jesus were on a journey on the water ahead of Jesus. 
While the disciples were in the middle of the journey on the sea, the boat experienced waves. 
Jesus could not abandon His disciples when He walked on the waves of the water. 
When Peter saw Jesus, he asked to walk like Jesus on the water. 
Jesus called Peter to walk as the story of Peter changed because of faith. The bible records, “So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” (Matthew 14:29-30) 
Jesus was not a stranger to miracles, but Peter became an estranged disciple of Jesus to miracles of Jesus. 
With belief, there should be no room for doubt.
No one should believe in God and give self to doubt.
Peter should not give himself to doubt in the place for faith. 
Just as Peter was sinking instead of walking on his troubled water, Jesus reacted, “And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.” (Matthew 14:31-32)
Without doubt, it was the doubt of Peter that caused his faith to sink in the troubled water.
Are you experiencing or seeing troubled water ahead of your journey? 
For deliverance, see that the hand of God is not short to extend deliverance miracle.

Prayer for today: Ask God for deliverance from the spirit of doubt.

FAITH CAPSULE: What does it take to pay back for the love of God?

1 Timothy 4

God cares for all and gives His love.
In the given of the love of God is His begotten Son.
John 3:16-17 records, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” 
Do you know or know about the love of God?
To know the love of God is identified in 1John5:3, “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments.” 
Keeping the commandment of God is doing His will, obeying the word of God.
Jesus, the love of God for all, is here.
Jesus is the begotten son of God is here.
Now that He is here, what does it take to pay back for the love of God?
Believing in God and living by His commandment is what it takes to pay back to God for His love for all. 
To be living life by the commandment of God is one that believes in the love of God.
Living life for God demands a sacrificial commitment to obey the commandment of God.
With God, there is a set standard for every area of His expectation for living life by His command.
Deuteronomy 6:5, identifies the standard expectation of living life by the standard of the command of God, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” 
Through the pages of the Bible, living life by the standard of God to live a fulfilled life and accomplish great exploits to the glory of God. 
Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, and some demonstrated the love of God and were able to do great exploits to the glory of God.
Do you know or know about the love of God?
One that does not know God does not accept Him.
A failure to accept the Lord Jesus, the gift of God for all, is not mindful of God also with the spirit of forgetfulness.
One that is not mindful of God does not give attention to God to gain the attention of God. 
Give attention to God, gain His attention, and know that the glamorous celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ does not count before God. 
Be living life for God with a meaningful celebration.
Keep in mind, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
The purpose of His birth for all is to believe in Him and not perish.
It is an error not to believe in Him celebrating Him.
Unfortunately, celebrating the birth of Jesus is colorful everywhere but lacks understanding among celebrants. 
Understandably, believe in Him, to celebrate Him as the Gift of God for all man. 

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live a life celebrating God for His glory.
