FAITH CAPSULE: I plead, Lord God, Let your way be my way.

Genesis 17

Living by the way of God is the character of obedience.
The way of God is the word of God.
Those who walk in the way of God give themselves to the word of God,
live for His glory.
Genesis 17:1 records, “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”
God made Abram walk (in His way) before Him and will make you walk in His way if it is your desire prayerfully to ask Him.
Genesis 5:24, “Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
Genesis 6:9, “Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.”
In your life journey, how far are you from God, who is near always?
To walk far from God is the avenue to experience failure.
If walking in the way of God is not possible, the word of God would not have asked for walking in His way.
Have the desire to walk in the way of God.
It does not matter who you are or the title you answer, but walking far from God is the avenue to fall.
The way of God is in the word of God.
Give self to the word of God, observe, and live by His word.
Proverbs 23:26 informs, “My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways. 
The way of God is the way to walk and not live a life of waste.
Pray continually to walk the way of God.
What you think is what you ask.
Ephesians 3:20 buttress, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”
Continually pray that you will not be far from God but observe and live by His word, walking in His ways.
One that prays continually for the way of God demonstrates reliance on God and does not take the chances of falling off the way of God.
Is Moses half obedience the evidence of disobedience, falling out of the way of God?
God asked Moses to speak to the rock in the eyes of the Israelites to give them a drink, but Moses did not obey according to the way of God. (Numbers 20:8)
Numbers 11:20 records, “Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.”
Half obedience is disobedience.
Moses struck and spoke, an act against the word of God.
God responded to Moses, “Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “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 11:12)
Moses did not walk in the direction of God.

Prayer for today: Pray not to be disobedient in the way of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: I plead, Lord God, Let your way be my way.

John 14

God creates all to exist for His glory. (Revelation 4:11)
Pray that this season and on going the way of God shall be your way, living life to the glory of God.
Prayer before God for the way of God is a continual engagement, not a once-in-a-while engagement.
Have the desire, not just determination, and meditate prayerfully so that the way of God becomes established in your life.
It is a great privilege of God to be alive this far, not because you know how to keep to the way of God.
Make it a way of life to ask God for His way for your life.
Do not assume the way of life, not to be exposed for evil occurrence.
The way of God is the word of God, the truth, and the life.
John 14:6 records Jesus saying, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Are you in a position to assume what is not true?
The way of God is truth to engage, not live a life of waste.
Proverbs 14:12 admonishes, “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
Ask God to show you His way.
Asking for the way of God is not evidence that one does not know God.
The title one answers to, as a servant of God, is not an excuse not to ask for the way of God.
This season, be asking for the way of God.
There is no reason not to ask for the way of God, but to always ask for the way of God is of the right mind.
Exodus 2:10 identifies Moses as a content man.
Exodus 4:12, God promised to be with the mouth of Moses.
Despite the character of Moses before God, Moses demonstrated the need to ask for the way of God.
Regardless of who you are or what title you answered to, it is not enough not to ask for the way of God.
Moses asked God, “Now therefore, I pray if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” (Exodus 33:13)
It is not a sin to ask for the way of God.
Make it a way of life to be asking from God.
The word of God encourages asking, seeking, and knocking to receive from Him.
In response to the asking of Moses, God said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Exodus 33:14)
The way of God is His way. The way is His presence.
God is not a partial God.
Romans 2:11 informs that God is not a partial God, stating, “For there is no partiality with God.”
This season, lift your eyes to God to ask for His way.

Prayer for today: Ask that you will live by the way of God.

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.
