FAITH CAPSULE: Earnestly give yourself continually meditating prayer to experience deliverance and preservation.

Psalm 64

Earnest prayer is characterized by or proceeding from an intense state of mind. 
Earnest prayer is to ask from God with the character of waiting on God to experience manifestation.
Earnest prayer can be fervent and prevails for a believer. 
Earnest prayer is a serious intention, a purpose rooted in knowing what to pray.
Elijah was with an earnest approach.
James 5:16-18 records: “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.”
Elijah prayed earnestly to address a need. 
Like Elijah, are you addressing a need to pray with intense passion?
As a believer, consider a fervent, earnest prayer as Elijah did.
Meditating prayer will work as a fervent quality prayer and earnest before God. 
Meditating prayer shall be asking and communicating with God day and night.
Meditating before God is continuous communication with God. 
Without a doubt, praying word before God day and night is a labor to gain the attention of God. 
In this wicked world, give yourself continually meditating prayer to experience deliverance and preservation.
Praying with your expectation for the manifestation, adapt to the way of David by meditating as: “Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows-bitter words.” (Psalm 64:1-3) 
Meditation is not memorization. 
One meditating on prayer words will gain the attention of God for His deliverance and preservation. 
Meditating the word of God answered for Moses and Joshua as their compass for navigation through the wilderness journey. 
One meditating the prayer of deliverance and preservation before God will bring forth manifestation. 
In the life of a believer, when faith sinks, fear will rise.
Fear does not announce itself before it invades its victims. 
Fear knows no discrimination. 
The prayer of meditation demonstrated by David was against fear when he states, “Preserve me from the fear of the enemy.” 
Fear belongs to the devil as a tool.
The devil is the author of the wicked world all day and night.
Give yourself to God by meditating day and night.
Gaining the attention of God against the devil is the solution to quell the fear. 
In this wicked world, continually pray and watch against the force of evil and not entertain fear, and your deliverance and preservation shall come to be.  

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with effective prayer for deliverance and preservation.

FAITH CAPSULE Any complaint will rebel before God.

Numbers 14

One who knows to trust and hope in the Lord shall experience the blessing of God.
Jeremiah 17:7 informs, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” 
Calling on God for His intervention is trust; waiting on God, without doubt, is evidence of having hope in God.
One of the characteristics of one who cannot trust and hope is complaining.
Before God, there is no place for complaining instead compliment.
Do you have faith to wait on God without complaint and not become a victim of derailment from the promise of God?
Avoiding complaints before God is the discipline to wait for God.
God acts for those who wait on Him. 
Isaiah 64:4 encourages all, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
A failure to wait on God will complain and become rebellious.
Pharaoh and his chariot could not stop Israelites from coming out of the bondage of over four hundred years.
The Red Sea failed to deny them to the Promised Land, while the Jericho wall could not stop the advance journey to the Promised Land, but the negative complaint and confession stopped the Israelites from getting to the Promised Land.
Numbers 14:28 records the response of God to the complaint of the Israelites: “Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the LORD, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.” 
Avoid negative confessions so as not to become wasted in life.
God hears all at all times. 
Stop complaining!
Complaints of the Israelites set them on a painful journey that denied the promise of God over their life.
The journey of eleven days turned into forty years.
Is complaining your way of life?
A negative confession is rooted in the complaint.
Any complaint will rebel before God.
Complaints and rebellion became the character of the Israelites before God.
Numbers 14:1-4 record the complaints of the Israelites, “So all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” So they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.”  
In life, learn, and know from the complaint of the Israelites not to be a victim of complaint.

Prayer for today: Ask that you will not be a vessel of complaining before God.

FAITH CAPSULE: The love for Jesus should not be of the mouth.

Revelation 22

The Bible records: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
Who or what is it about the truth?
John 14:6 records, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” 
Do you know the truth, or do you know about it?
Truth is the way to live life for arrival to the divine assignment of God.
It is good to know the truth engaging the truth at all times.
Give self to the truth as a way of life, knowing that truth is hardly acceptable.
In this wicked world of lies, the disciples of today tell lies and are so far from God, not living by the truth of God.
Truth is not for twisting, not accommodating lies to be added or subtracted by the wicked world of evil.
By your word or by your action, are you adding or taking away from the word of God?
Revelation 22:18-19 warns, “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Twisting the word of God is adding or taking away from the word of God. 
Twisting the truth of God is telling lies in the place of telling the truth. 
Deuteronomy 19:19 buttress, “…so you shall put away the evil from among you.” 
Truth is easy to ignore, it is not on the broad lane that the majority takes to in the life journey.
The world hangs on deception and manipulation.
In life, not knowing the truth is the same as twisting the truth.
Do you know the truth, or do you know about it?
The majority are not free because they do not know or only know about the truth.
John 14:6 records, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth…”
Many claim to know and do things in His name, but it is not evidence of knowing Him.
Once Jesus responds to acclaiming of His name, “But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.” (Matthew 26:70)
Have you been doing things in His name, assuming you know Him but only know about Him?
The love for Jesus should not be of the mouth.
The word of God speaks to all, “But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.” (John 5:42)
To know the truth of God is to love Him by way of living before Him.

Prayer for today: Ask to live life by the truth of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: There is no excuse before God to become far and lost from God.

Jeremiah 50

How far are you from God?
Do you know how far you are from God that is not far from all His creation?
All should be questioning themselves to know if one is far and lost from the presence of God.
God is near to all, but the majority are far from God and do not have the rest of God.
The presence of God carries the rest of God for one that is near to Him.
How far are you from God?
To be far from God is to be lost from God.
God is mindful of all to give His beloved son for all, but the majority do not live for the glory of God not to be a lost one.
Jesus said, “…for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)
The shepherds of God are in a position to lead the sheep to the presence of God, not far from God, and have the rest of God.
However, the shepherds have the role of the loss of the sheep, far from God.
Jeremiah 50:6 points out, “My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray; They have turned them away to the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill; They have forgotten their resting place.” 
The word points out that the Shepherds are the contributing role to be lost, but to be lost will not have an excuse for the lost ones before God.
To be lost is not living for God but shall experience the consequence of living life as the lost.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost sheep, and the sheep that seek Him will find Him to become saved.
To become wrongly led does not excuse the consequences before God.
From today, seek God to know the truth to keep you safe and not become a victim of being led wrong by the Shepherds. 
Making a wrong choice is a way to become a victim of shepherds leading sheep into the track of loss.
Why not seek God diligently to find Him and not far from Him?
Have the desire not to far from God.
The Psalm of David states, “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.” (Psalm 27:4)
What is your choice?
Seek God diligently not be far from God.
God is a caring God with reasonable provision for all not to be victims of one living far from God.
Do not live a life of waste.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with the strength not to walk the walk of the lost.

FAITH CAPSULE: Denial disobedience to live for God.

Numbers 20

Disobedience to the word of God erases disobedient ones not to gain the rightful place of God.
There is no negotiation to disobey God.
It does not matter who you are, but it does matter not to disobey the word of God.
Disobedience to God is evidence of not having the fear of God.
Sin and sinning are rooted in disobedience.
Sin or disobedience does not settle with God.
The word questions all: “…Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1-2) 
Sin, disobedience, does not have a place before God.
To be disobedient is to take a position of disorder.
Disobedience is a track to disobedience.
To disobey His word is to be destroyed. 
Proverbs 13:13 warns all, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.” 
Disobedience to the word of God is the lack of fear of God. 
Moses, as great as he was in the hand of God, could not step on the Promised Land because he disobeyed the command of God.
The disobedience of Moses is no excuse to deliver him from the consequences of his error.
The Bible records the disobedience of Moses: 
“Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” (Numbers 20:7-8) 
Moses was to respond to the children of Israel for water when God commanded him to speak to the rock. 
Moses did not speak as God commanded him but disobeyed by pleasing himself against the command of God. 
The Bible records in Numbers 20:11, “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.” 
Moses struck the rock in the place to speak as commanded by God.
The disobedience of Moses did not settle well with God. 
As a result, God responded 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 20:12) 
A lifetime journey ended up in the wilderness for Moses when he struck instead of speaking to become denied from getting to the Promised Land. 
Disobedience is a spirit that leads to denial to claim the blessing of God.
Fear God, live by His word, and not become a victim of sin and sinning before God.
The sin of Moses is with no excuse before God, but it is enough for all to learn not to disobey the command of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask to be delivered from the spirit of disobedience.
