FAITH CAPSULE: Wait for God to prevail is inevitable.

Matthew 6

Prevailing to gain from God, to excel by the grace of God, inhabits waiting on God.
Are you waiting on God?
Do you know about waiting on God at the tip of lips?
Do you know to wait on God unfailing to gain the attention of God?
Without any doubt, God is a caring God.
God waits to act for anyone who waits for Him. (Acts 64:4)
Wait on God to gain His healing word of direction, not to become wasted in a challenging world.
Know that to be alive today is not by right but by the privilege of God. 
Day after day, week after week, month after month is a privilege of God.
Not knowing God is worrying instead of living by the word of God. Matthew 6:25-27 speaks to all, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  
Give to the word of God, pay attention to the warning against worrying, and be patient waiting on God. 
God will not deny sincere attention to His word but always attend to such waiting on Him. 
Be encouraged by waiting on the promise of God. 
Isaiah 30:18 states, “Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore, He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are those who wait for Him.”  
God is waiting for those who wait on Him. 
Without any doubt, there is no record of any who waits on God and becomes wasted. 
The bondage of over four hundred years of the Israelites in the land of Egypt could not deny the visitation of salvation by God over the Israelites. 
Wait for God to remember you with favor and visit you with salvation.
Know to prevail by waiting on God for His open hand in your direction.
The Bible testifies to the open hand of God. 
Psalm 104:28 points out, “What You give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are filled with good.”
Psalm 145:16, “You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.” 
It does not matter how long you have been waiting, but it does matter that in waiting, wait only on Him and be of good courage.
This month, with faith, expect to experience a new song to the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that the grace of God shall enable your waiting before God and that His goodness and mercy not expire over your life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Prayer is a labor that is not for one with the spirit of laziness. 

Daniel 6

Give life to prayer before God.
Let your prayer be consistent, knowing there is no other
Seeking God diligently will lead to finding God, and fervent prayer is seeking God to gain the presence of God.
Prayer time is not a parade time to impress man but to provoke the hand of God for His favor of goodness. 
Prayer is a labor that is not for one with the spirit of laziness. 
The prayer of Jesus in the garden demonstrates that God will not ignore prayer before Him.
Luke 22:44 identifies the labor prayer of Jesus, “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”  
Ask for engaging in laborious prayer as a way of life, not to be a victim of a wicked world.
A prayer-less is not possible to prevail in the wicked world.
Prayer should be a continual engagement.
With prayer, God answers yes or no and waits.
Are you seeking God prayerfully? Are your expectations for manifestation delayed?
God answers prayer.
With faith, patiently wait on God to experience God.
Engaging in prayer time is not convenient, it is labor with commitment.
Do you have a prayer life?
Is your prayer consistent with commitment?
Daniel demonstrated what it takes to be committed to praying before God. 
Daniel had a heart for God.
As a young one, he purposed heart not to defile God, the character of a prayer vessel.
The life of a believer who lives by the word of God is the target of the wicked of the world.
Daniel is an example of who lives for God.
The life of Daniel is evidence that giving to God in prayer is bound to overcome. Daniel resolved to pray consistently to prevail.
Daniel was a prayer vessel.
Daniel 6:10 records, “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.”
Custom prayer was the life of Daniel, making the way of life to become one that overcomes challenges.
When Daniel became targeted for an untimely death in the den of lions, his prayer delivered him from the victim of wickedness.
The prayer of Daniel was the frustration of his enemies.
The praying of Daniel denied an untimely death over his life.
Daniel prevailed because he was a praying vessel.
There is no substitute for praying to provoke the move of God.
In the pages of the Bible, living a life of prayer is evidence that God answers.
Apostle Paul testifies about prayer.
Acts 6:4 records, “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

Prayer for today: Ask that praying with commitment before God shall be your way of life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Are you hallowing God or deceiving your world?

Numbers 20:1-13

Are you hallowing His name?
Jesus taught prayer: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” (Matthew 6:9) 
Hallowing God is endowing, respecting, sanctifying, and revering the name of God. 
God deserves the honor.
Proverbs 18:10 identifies God, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” What is limiting the understanding of the name of God in your life? 
Moses wanted to know what to call God before delivering the message of God to Pharaoh as God identified His name. 
Exodus 3:13-14 records, “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
All should know and always remember that the word of God is not a waste when He states He is a jealous God. 
A jealous God demands attention in every means to call on Him or to answer His calling.
Are you hallowing His name?
As great as Moses was in the hand of God, the sin that deprived him of stepping on the Promised Land was his failure to hallow the name of God. 
When God commanded Moses to speak to the rock for water to quench the thirst of the Israelites, Moses went and struck the rock. (Numbers 20:7-9) 
The act of Moses dishallowed God, and it counted against Moses as disobedient before God. 
God responds to Moses, “…Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” (Numbers 20:12)
A failure to hallow God is evidence of a lack of belief; it is also rebellious to God. Numbers 27:14 records, “For in the Wilderness of Zin, during the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against My command to hallow Me at the waters before their eyes…”
Trespassing against God also counted as dishallowing God, as Moses did, “because you trespassed against Me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin, because you did not hallow Me in the midst of the children of Israel.” (Deuteronomy 32:51)
As a result of the truth that Moses did not hallow God, the word counted unbelief, rebellion, and trespassing against Moses. 
Know to hallow God in all seeking Him.
“The Lord of Hosts, Him you shall hallow; let Him be your fear.” (Isaiah 8:13) 
In your walk, let God know your fear for Him as a way of life.

Prayer for today: Ask that you enable yourself not to be a failure before God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Identify your sin before God to gain His forgiveness. 

Luke 7:36-50

To experience the forgiveness of sin before God comes with a condition.
The Bible records certain conditions that provoke forgiveness before God.
The listed conditions for forgiveness are to confess, repent, have faith, and demonstrate love.
Confession provokes forgiveness:
Confession of sin before God provokes the forgiveness of God.
1 John 1:9 records, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Psalm 32:5 testifies that confession is a way of receiving forgiveness before God, stating, “I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.” 
Recognize your sin before God to gain His forgiveness. 
Repentance provokes forgiveness:
Repentance must come from the depth of the heart. 
To repent and not repeat sin is a choice not to be held down as a sinner but to gain forgiveness from God.
Repentance of sin that provokes forgiveness states:
“Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.” (Acts 5:31)
“Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.” (Acts 8:22)
Repent, and God will forgive!
Having faith provokes forgiveness:
God alone sees faith that is genuinely rooted in the heart and acts. 
With faith demonstrated in the sight of God, the forgiveness of God shall answer for the sinner.
The healing of the story of the roof-tearing faith by a paralyzed man was the result of his forgiveness. 
Luke 5:18-20 documents, “Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus. When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” 
Jesus saw his faith, and the forgiveness of Jesus for the sinner provoked healing.
Love demonstration provokes forgiveness: 
A sinful woman gains forgiveness from Jesus. 
With love, she approached Jesus with an alabaster flask of fragrant oil; she wept; washed His feet with her tears; wiped them with the hair of her head; she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. 
She loved the Lord, but she was the sinful woman of the city. 
The forgiveness of the woman by Jesus provoked questions from the people. 
Jesus talked to Simon, “Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.” Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” (Luke 7:47-48) 
The conversation between Jesus and Simon confirms that love demonstrated before God provokes forgiveness. 
Let us have a heart of receiving forgiveness from God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace not to be a victim of unforgiving.

FAITH CAPSULE: Wrongdoing is a sin and does not have a place before God

2Samuel 11

In the place of doing, there is a consequence for right or wrongdoing.
Excuses do not deny consequences.
Always do right to disengage wrongdoing.
Any right doing is bound for one to be increased before God, while wrongdoing shall reduce one not to arrive at the calling of God.
Think it right and know right to gain right to the glory of God.
King David engaged in assignment right when he sent Joab, his servants, and all of Israel to battle.
King David started right but turned wrong when he stayed back from going to war.
The Bible records, “It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.”(2 Samuel 11:1)
David was to be at the battlefront when he remained at home.
King David used his rightful power when he unrightfully took possession of the wife of Uriah. 
Uriah the Hittite was at the battleground when David made his move for his wife. 
2 Samuel 11:4-5 records, “Then David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house. And the woman conceived; so she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.” 
David chose to be at the right place at the wrong time. 
David was supposed to be at the battlefront but chose to be home at the wrong time. 
The absence of David from the battlefront promoted action outside of God. 
He committed adultery and also extended it to murder. 
Sin is like a disease that does not stop itself when there is no choice in place to stop sinning. 
Wickedness was the sin of David. 
In the place to do right, are you about to engage in a sin wrongly? 
It is always good to go back to God before the enemies use one as a ground to expand your sin. 
The sin of David becomes expanded. 
2 Samuel 11:14-15 records, “In the morning it happened that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. And he wrote in the letter, saying, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.”
On that morning hour, David could have been in the presence of God seeking forgiveness but went further with sinning to orchestrate the death of Uriah in the battle.
God rightfully positioned David as a king, but he took his rightful position to commit an unrighteous act. 
Regardless of your God-given position, inside or outside of the church, always remember, “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.” (Proverbs 15:3)

Prayer for today: Pray not to be in a position to engage in sinful acts before God.
