FAITH CAPSULE: Let your way be my way.

Psalm 139

Have you considered which way you are walking before God?
There is a way of everlasting, and there is a way of eternal damnation. Both ways do not complement each other.
No one can avoid the consequences of the choice of the two to walk.
Which of the two ways you are walking?
Which of the two?
The way everlasting is to God, just as the way to eternal damnation is to the devil. 
Psalm 90:2 testifies, “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.”  
Psalm 145:13 states, “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.”  
Daniel 4:3 states, “How great are His signs, and how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation.”  
John 3:16 states, “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.” 
The above scriptural verses testify to where God is and where he will be. Where God is will also be a place for all His obedient children. 
Have you considered engaging the way everlasting? 
Consciously or unconsciously, the wicked ones take to the way of eternal damnation. 
Is wickedness your way of life?
Which way of life are you engaging before God, who sees all?
Wickedness operates from the heart. 
Jeremiah testifies, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) 
Deceiving, lying, and manipulating life is wicked, making way for eternal damnation.
Are you keeping your heart to avoid missing everlasting by ending up in eternal damnation? 
The word of God points out a way of avoiding eternal damnation by stating, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)
Eternal damnation must be a “no-go” place. 
The Psalmist wanted to make sure that the way of eternal damnation shall not be his portion. Psalm 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.”
By you inquiring, know it today that you have not engaged the way of the wicked, the way to eternal damnation. 
The ones whose word of God is near in their mouth but far from their heart are the wicked ones. 
Evidently, across the pages of the Bible, it is clear that wicked ones head into the way of eternal damnation. 
Make the right choice and trust God for the help of enablement to engage the way to everlasting and not eternal damnation.
Determination will not be enough to deliver anyone, but with desire, living the life of prayer before God is the way, not to be a candidate of eternal damnation. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the mercy of God to keep you away from the way of eternal damnation.

FAITH CAPSULE: God deserves praising and thanking Him.

Psalm 145 

It is a great grace that the good of God has brought you this far.
It should not be taken for granted to be alive this far.
From the first day of the year to this moment is the grace of God.
God owes no one, but all owe the perfect God.
He is a caring Creator.
Psalm 150:6 admonishes all, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
Indeed, everyone standing this far should praise God at every moment, not only at the breath of life.
Praising and thanking God will provoke a favorable lifting from God.
What He says to one speaks to all. 
God deserves praising and thanking Him.
God is a jealous God whose attention is the antidote to jealousy.
God wants all to seek Him diligently.
One who seeks God diligently will find God.
One who does not seek God diligently will not find God.
Proverbs 7:15 encourages, “So I came out to meet you, diligently to seek your face, And I have found you.”
Thanking God is seeking God to find God.
Deuteronomy 4:29 states, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Jeremiah 29:13 records, “And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”
A thankful heart, seeking God will find God to gain and retain the presence of God.
All year long to the moment standing, the Lord God bestows upon you, how much have you extended to Him?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 records, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted.”  
At this time of the year, think of living a life to glorify God. 
Allow your expectations to change from material gain to walking in the ways of God. 
Deuteronomy 5:33 states, “You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.” 
From this moment to the coming month, walk more in the ways of God.
Thanking God by seeking Him, will no doubt fulfill desires as the year continues.
Live to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:33-34) 
A better way to seek God is by praising and thanking God.
Make the moment to praise and thank God.

Prayer for today: Ask that it will be your way of life to praise and thank God every moment.

FAITH CAPSULE: See in the word of God to receive.

Proverbs 4

What does the word of God say?
Proverbs 4:20-23 records, “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them And health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.”
The word of God says that attention to the word shall not depart from seeing it, to become of such.
Make it a way of life to see in the word of God.
What you see, you receive, and become of yours.
When God promises, see you will take a position to receive the promise.
Have you heard in the word of God and not seen in His word to position yourself to claim the promise?
God promised the Israelites a land that flows with milk and honey (Promised Land). 
At a point in time, during their journey from the bondage of over four hundred years, they chose to dwell too long at Horeb instead of going forward to claim the land that flows with milk and honey.
As a result of the Israelites dwelling too long, God sent Moses to the Israelites, “The Lord our God said to us at Horeb, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev and along the coast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates. See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land…” (Deuteronomy 1:6-8)   
Seeing in the word of God is the key to gaining in the word of God.
There was a need for the Israelites to see in the promise of God that the Promised Land was for them already.
The Israelites could not see as commanded by God. 
Are you acting like the Israelite, not seeing in the word of God that moves you to claim His promise but remain stagnated?
Having faith in God is the ability to see in the word of God.
One who hears the word of God will not be a victim of stagnation but move forward to claim the promise in the word of God.
The ability to see what God says is a direct effect of possessing His promise.
It is interesting how promises of God for His children in the pages of the Bible are well laid while His children languish, not see and possess those promises.
As a believer, consciously see in the promises of God the act of provoking force that will generate a move in the direction of possessing the promise of God.  

Prayer for today: Ask to become enabled to see in the word of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Claiming to live for God is seeking Him diligently.

Deuteronomy 4

Do you know what or who you are living for?
Know that all is living (exists) for God, the creator of all.
Revelation 4:11 states, “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.”
All owes God to live for God.
God does not owe no one yet He has given all that is needed to live for Him.
Are you living for God or living for yourself?
The grace and mercy of God have brought you to be alive this year, not because you know how to live life.
Make the right choice, and upgrade your life to live for God.
Live life doing what the word of God asks all to do.
The word of God demands all to be obedient to the word of God.
From today, make the right choice to live life by the word of God and not become a victim of the evil of a wicked world.
What kind of a believer are you?
One who does not live life for God is the evidence of not knowing God.
Why not have the desire to live life for God?
Determination is not enough to live life for God.
The desire with prayer will make one live life for God.
Peter was determined not to deny Christ.
Peter denied Jesus three times, but the prayer of Jesus worked out for Peter not to become a victim of denial for knowing Christ. (Luke 22:32-61)
Living life for God demands giving self to the word of God continually and praying to walk worthy of living life for God.
Living life for God is seeking God diligently. 
With desire, live life for God to find Him.
Deuteronomy 4:29 states, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” 
“Jeremiah 29:13 records, “And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”  
If seeking God to find God is not possible, God would not have asked for seeking Him diligently.
Live life for God, seek Him diligently and find Him. 
Living life for God is not a thing of mouth or religion but abiding by God.
To abide in God is the character of one who lives for God, which Jesus demands from all. 
John 8:31 records, “…If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.” 
Claiming to be a believer and not abide in Him is a joke, which is a ceremonial religion. 
Today, live life before God and answer as manifestation, son of God.  

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live life for the glory of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: God terminates challenges.

Mark 5

The challenges of life prompt pain in life.
When or where challenges remain persistent, they become a burden, and the carrier labors silently or loudly in pain. 
Are there any persisting physical, spiritual, or emotional challenges in your life?
God can terminate any challenge for one who looks up to him for his intervention.
A woman with a blood issue could not receive healing from any physician until she came across Jesus.
The Bible records, “Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.” (Mark 5:25-27)
For twelve years, a woman experienced un-wanting pain. 
On top of her pain, she spent all, and yet no healing answered for her. 
Are you experiencing silent pain from the issue of life?
Pain can be a combination of labor and follows one in the life journey.
The healing healer did not discourage all but only encouraged if one with pain gave oneself to the word of healing truth.
Matthew 11:28 records healing and encourages the word of God, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and you will find rest for your souls.” 
The healing healer is the same yesterday and today, and forever give yourself to the word of God for your healing like the woman with the issue of blood. 
If she had not come to Jesus, her burden would have remained over her life. 
Jesus was not telling jokes, neither was He sharing fables when He declared in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and you will find rest for your souls.”
What is stopping you from taking your concern to Him today?
Is your past discouragement in the place to discourage you from getting your healing?
A woman with the blood of twelve years did not resist going for her healing. 
Leviticus 15:19 states, “If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall be set apart seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.” 
The law in Leviticus 15:19 could not stop her from going after Jesus, but she went further to receive her healing.
At the approach of Jesus by the woman with the issue of blood, every available route in the front to reach Jesus was crowded but not enough to discourage the woman. The woman came behind Jesus in the crowd and was able to touch His garment.
Location or your distance to the healer is not enough of a hindrance when you seek God for your healing to your healing.
With the extent of your pain, Jesus can heal and give you rest.
The woman with the issue of blood sought the healer diligently, and she received her healing.
Today, seek God the Healer diligently, and you shall receive your healing.

Prayer for today: Ask for healing by the word of God to sound in your direction.
