REMEMBER ME

FAITH CAPSULE: Wait on God by asking Him to remember you.

Genesis 8

God is a good God.
Power belongs unto God alone.
He is a perfect God who created all without partiality in His doing.
Job 34:19 testifies, “Yet He is not partial to princes, Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; For they are all the work of His hands.”
Romans 2:11 states, “For there is no partiality with God.”
God has brought you this far by His goodness and mercy, not because you know how to live.
God remembers all and does not forget no one.
By His will, all exist and were created. (Revelation 4:11)
With rampant sin among His creation, He did not fail to remember them for deliverance from the consequences of their sin.
The remembrance of Noah at the time of the flood testifies that God remembers and does not forget.
Genesis 7:17 “Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth…”
God remembered Noah, and the water of destruction subsided.
Genesis 8:1 “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 cares to remember His creation.
Are you with expectations all year with no manifestation?
Day after day, week after week, month after month with no expectation is not evidence God does not remember you.
Keep in mind God REMEMBERS all at all times.
For yet to gain your expectation is not late before God.
Time belongs to God.
Clock belongs to the world that cannot intimidate God to move out of His time.
With this understanding, wait on God.
Trust and hope, the character to wait on God is not of the mouth but of the heart.
Have trust and hope to gain the blessing of God in His remembrance.
With the trust to call on God but lack hope because of doubt denies blessings of God.
With a trusted call on God, avoid confessing negative expectations that demonstrate a lack of hope.
Trust with hope should patiently wait on God to provoke the blessings of God.
Jeremiah 17:7 testifies, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.”
Ask to be enabled to trust and hope, waiting to gain from God remembering you.
Wait on God by asking Him to remember you.
God is not talkative and wants all to ask, seek, or knock to get an opening, evidence God remembers. (Matthew 7:7)
Mind you, God creates all.
He does not forget but remembers one who knows to remind Him.
Are you having any case or an issue before God to remember you?
The word of God encourages all, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.” (Isaiah 43:26)
God does not ignore the call of His creation.
Do not stop to call on God to remember you.

Prayer for today: Ask God to remember you and deliver you from all that is not His name in your life.

FULLY ANSWERING

FAITH CAPSULE: The One that calls you will move you forward with the power to move for God.

Mark 6:7-13

The expectation of answering to the calling of God demands not to withhold anything before God.
Living is to answer fully for God.
Answer the calling of God fully, not just flow as a crowd.
His calling comes at His appointed time.
In life, no man decides the time of His calling.
Among the disciples of Jesus, none called himself, but Jesus called everyone.
Mark 1:16-18 records, “As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him.”
Without a doubt, the disciples were not prepared when called but turned to the calling without turning away from Jesus.
Has He called you when you are not ready?
His calling requires leaving all behind to give Him all the required attention.
Has He called you with the old baggage not hanging around you?
In His calling, old things must be left behind to allow new things to have a place to stay.
Mark 6:7-9 records, “And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts-but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.” (Mark 6:7-9)
One ready to move away from the past shall move into new things.
The One that calls you will move you forward with the power to move for God.
Above all, the One that calls you did not call you into religion but into the reality of Christ.
Know that the calling of God is a time to be sent out.
He that calls you will not send you until you have been equipped with all it takes to carry His power.
Did He call you and not place a calling by yourself?
In answer to His calling, commitment must take the place of convenience.
When commitment kicks in, one must be ready for a journey but not a jolly ride.
Without His calling and you answering, sending out will not come forth.
What is holding you from turning aside and making yourself available for His calling?
In the calling of God, power shall be given to ride over the world of material.
Give up all unto Jesus by answering fully to His calling.
The word of God assures that “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
Fully answering to the calling of God demands giving up all before Him.

Prayer for today: Ask that the things of the past in your life shall subside for the news of God for God in your life.

GOD WANTS YOU

FAITH CAPSULE: God wants all to answer His calling.

Exodus 13

No created one belongs to none but belongs to God Almighty.
God created all as Revelation 4:11 mentions, “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.” 
It is a privilege of God to be alive. 
The privilege of God to be alive is with the purpose of God.
The purpose of God defines His calling assignment over your life.
The calling assignment of God for all is different and not the same.
Every calling of God comes with the expectation that all will arrive at the assignment of God.
Do you know the calling of God?
1 Thessalonians 5:24 admonishes all, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”
Answering according to His assignment cannot fail with one that answers as directed.
The calling of God will relocate you from comfort to commitment to the glory of God.
In the calling of God, the provision of God that is in place for the obedient called shall not derail to arrive at the center of the assignment of God.
Also, answering the calling of God is not an exception to avoid challenges. 
Psalm 34:19 records the assurance not to become a victim of challenges for the right ones, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
Affliction is a challenge, but knowing the deliverance of the right demands endurance.
In your answering to the calling of God, activate to become endured as Hebrews 10:36 encourages all, “For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.” 
It is the will of God for all to arrive at His calling. 
God is not a slave master but a saving master for all to exist for His glory.
Are you with the desire to live life by the will of God?
One that is with desire will be deposited with the direction of God to arrive at the calling of God.
An adage states, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” 
Be encouraged not to fail in the calling of God. 
The coming out of Abraham from his country is the will of God. Abraham answered the calling of God.
The will of God for Abraham was to make Abraham a great nation, a great name, and a blessing. (Genesis 12: 1-2) 
The will of God for Abraham is the will of God packed in the way for him not to fail as he obeyed.
Take note that where there is a will for a child of God, there will always be a way to get through when one answers obediently. 
Give yourself to answer the calling of God with endurance, not to fail, and God will back you up.

Prayer for today: Ask God to open your ears and eyes, answering in His calling for your life.

THANKS, AND PRAISE

FAITH CAPSULE: With thanks and praise is to find God.

Psalm 104

Thanking God and praising God is with desire to reach God.
One that reaches God is worshiping and seeking God.
Thanking and praising cannot be separated and should be to find God.
Psalm 150:6 states, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
One who knows to praise is thanking God.
There is so much God has done, and He is doing that provokes thanking God as a way of life.
To thank and praise God is appreciating, giving regard, and acknowledging God for every good reason.
The character of God is good and deserves thanking and praising him, the perfect creator.
Do you realize that praising God should be at every breath?
Are you one who waits for thanking God elaborately once a year?
Thanking and praising God is not only at every breath but also at every moment.
Why thank God on your own time instead of every time?
Do your challenges reduce your thanking God?
Ignore your challenges, and always give thanks to God for all things.
Romans 8:28 records that all things work together for good. 
Ephesians 5:20 encourages, “Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”  
For all things, in all things, give God thanks rooted in the heart, not just in the tongue.
Give thanks to God to gain the presence of God.
God inhabits (enthrones) the praises of His people. (Psalm 22:3)
Make it your way of life to gain the presence of God with thanksgiving and to retain His presence with praise.
Give thanks, praising God at all times!
Praising God is seeking God.
Psalm 47:7 records, “For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.”
As praising God is with understanding, giving thanks to God should be with understanding. One giving thanks to God with understanding will gain access to the presence of God. Psalm 100:4 buttresses the meaning of giving thanks to God with understanding by stating, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.”
With the understanding of thanking God, Jesus thanks God for raising Lazarus from death after four days in the grave.
John 11:41-42 records, “Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me…”
A meaningful thanksgiving to God with understanding will provoke gaining the presence of God.
The word of God does not lie, unlike the word of man, full of lies.
To be alive is a privilege of God, the mercy of God, not a thing of merit.
Meditate by thanking God all day long.
Indeed, and in truth, thousands of tongues are not enough to thank God enough.
God alone is more than worthy of thanks and praise.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with unceasing thanksgiving and praising God.

GOD WAITS

FAITH CAPSULE: God awaits one who turns to Him.

Numbers 16

What or who are you turning to?
In this wicked world, know to let your turning be to God.
John 2:25 informs all, “But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men.”
If Jesus commits to no man, what prompts you to turn to turn and you commit to such?
Turning away from God is rejecting God.
In life, there is no reasonable excuse for turning away from God.
Almighty God is in a position that no one should turn away from His hand.
Are you turning away from the hand of God?
Moses represented the hand of God to deliver the Israelites from the bondage of over four hundred years, but the Israelites repeatedly turned away from God.
All the writing was clear on the wall. Moses was not operating on his power when Korah and his entourage turned against the hand of God upon Moses.
The Bible records, “Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men; and they rose up before Moses with some of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, representatives of the congregation, men of renown. They gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “You take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?” (Numbers 16:1-3)
It is hard to believe that some could ever think of rising against Moses despite the demonstration of the hand of God upon Moses.
Renowned men were among those who took part in the uprising against Moses.
The Israelites turned against the hand of God. Moses responded to Korah and his team to let them know that God sent him. Numbers 16:31-32 record, “…as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with all their goods.”
They were all buried and died before Moses carrying the hand of God.
Have you turned away from God?
In the parable of the lost son, Jesus points out that returning is never too late after turning away from God.
The lost son left home too early when he received the portion of goods that fell to him.
The lost son left for new land, turning away from his father to become exposed to lack.
Father is always waiting for a return to him after turning away from Him.
God is a good God and awaits one that will turn to Him.

Prayer for today: Ask that you will not fail to turn to God at the appointed time.
