FAITH CAPSULE: Living for God is giving self to the word of God.

Psalm 18

God magnified His word above all His name. (Psalm 138:2)
How are you giving yourself to the word of God?
The word of God is God. (John 1:1)
Sincerely, do you know that the word of God is God?
God speaks His word to one who will hear Him.
Psalm 143:8 testifies, “Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning. For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk for I lift up my soul to You.”
Hearing and observing will obey God in the morning to make a difference in the day.
Make provision for hearing the word of God first in the morning.
Trust and hope in God for daily endeavors.
Also, what man hears will be like a compass for navigation through the challenges of life. 
Give yourself to the word of God to lead you with deliverance.
Know and be prepared to know that there is labor in the word of God to find God.
Affliction is challenging.
Labor the word of God to deny doubt in your thoughts or actions.
Doubting is the avenue to self-destruction. Do not doubt, do not limit, or despise the power of the word of God. Proverbs 13:13 warns, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”  
The word of God is a live-wire for one who knows and understands the word of God that can terminate struggle or challenge in any area of life. Psalm 34:19 buttresses, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” 
Do not doubt the word of God!
Think of it and know that the word of God is God. (John 1:1)
The presence of God is the word of God that led the Israelites in the wilderness journey to the Promised Land. The presence of God answered for the direction and leadership of Moses.
Give yourself to the word of God to gain His rest that leads without fail.
All God did to lead was send His word through Moses. Psalm 103:7 records, “He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.” 
The word of God is His ways that provoke the acts of God, His testimony.
Without a doubt, the presence of God is the word of God.
Do not doubt when the word of God locates you for your deliverance and preservation.
Also, do not be one that assumes, in the place to resume, as the word answers for you.
Proverbs 14:12 warns, “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
Know to give yourself to the word of God to find God that is not far from all.
The word of God is near to all every time.

Prayer for today: Ask that you be enabled to live by the word of God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Dwelling and abiding in the secret place of God.

Psalm 91

The word of God does not return void.
Dwell in His word (His presence, His secret), live by His word to abide and not become a victim of a wicked world.
The character of those who dwell and abide in the secret place of God will not run where to walk or walk when to run the evidence of one that trusts God. Also, it is the evidence of engaging the direction of God to be delivered.
One that dwells and abides in the secret of God is evidence of one that sees the move of God by His word.
The word of God is God.
His word is His presence.
One who hears the word of God will see to receive, gain, and retain the presence of God.
Retaining the presence of God is hidden in God not to live a life of waste.
Do you know God (the word of God, His secret) to recognize and acknowledge dwelling and abiding in God?
One who only knows about God lacks the understanding of dwelling and abiding in the secret place of God.
When the servant of Elisha was around Elisha, dwelling along with Elisha in the presence of God, in times of challenges, he lacked the understanding not to know that he was abiding in the secret place of God.
Are you dwelling with but not knowing abiding?
One who claims to be a believer but lacks the knowledge of dwelling and abiding in God (His secret) takes to become perish.
The servant of Elisha was an example of one dwelling in the presence of God because Elisha, the prophet of God, was with him, but he failed to know abiding in the presence of God.
The servant of Elisha was consumed in fear of the wicked world before him, not knowing the abiding in the presence of God.
The servant with Elisha cried out, but Elisha knew his dwelling and abided in the word of God and reacted to His servant: “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see. Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord and said, Strike this people, I pray, with blindness. And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.” (2 Kings:16-18)
No one who dwells in the word of God by the mouth will see enough to abide in the secret of God.
Following word in the mouth of this world, not hearing to see in the word of God is not dwelling and abiding in the Lord God.

Prayer for today: Pray that dwelling and abiding in the secret place of God shall constantly and consistently be your way of life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Dwelling and abiding in the secret place of God.

Psalm 91

The grace of God has brought you this far.
It is worth knowing and living by the word of God.
Let your prayer to God for this month be that dwelling and abiding in the secret place of God shall be your portion.
Prayer with desire delivers, unlike having determination.
Determination failed Peter to deny Jesus.
However, when desire is in place, God deposits manifestation of expectation.
What you think is what you ask, and what you ask is what you think.
Ephesians 3:20 emphasizes, “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.”
God gives attention to what one thinks or asks.
Why not prayerfully have the desire to dwell and abide in God?
Psalm 91:1 records, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
One praying or claiming, with a lack of understanding, is marked as a talk active with words not rooted in the heart but in the mouth.
God promises anyone to abide when one knows to dwell in His secret place.
What God says is a done deal.
The word of God is His promise.
To claim the promise of God comes with conditions.
One claiming the promise of God must engage the condition to claim.
One who dwells in the secret of God shall abide in the presence of God.
The presence of God is His secret.
The secret is His word.
Psalm 25:14 states, “The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him…”
Do you live life to fear God?
Psalm 31:20 records, “You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man…”
The secret place is in the presence of God.
His presence is a secure place from the wicked world.
Isaiah 45:19, “I have not spoken in secret, In a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in vain’; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.”
Why not give yourself to the spoken word of God that is secret to make it hibernation, abiding constantly in the word of God?
Prayer for today:
Ask that dwelling and abiding in the secret place of God shall constantly and consistently be your way of life.
Ask that wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to make the secret place of God become your portion from this moment.
Ask that distraction and other forces of the wicked world that deny one not to dwell and abide in the secret place of God shall not have a place in your life.
Ask that dwelling and abiding in the secret place of God shall be your way of life.

FAITH CAPSULE: Pray to know the way of God.

Exodus 33

God is not a partial God.
Romans 2:11 confirms, “For there is no partiality with God.”
Is it your desire to live by the way of God, or is it by determination?
With desire, God deposits what it takes for desire to become established.
Do just like Moses did to gain the direction of God for his life.
Moses asked God for the way of God, and God answered Moses.
In the way of God, there is direction to gain and retain the presence of God.
The way of God is the presence of God.
The presence of God is the word of God.
John 1:1 informs all, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
The word of God is His presence that must gain the entrance of one who seeks the way of God.
In the word of God, one will gain the rest of God.
God answered Moses, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
The wicked world demands to walk in the way of God to live in stability.
The desire to walk in the way of God to gain stability is the character of one with wisdom and knowledge of God.
Isaiah 33:6 informs all, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times…”
Having the wisdom and knowledge of God will gain and retain the way of God (word of God) for one that meditates the word of God constantly as a way of life.
Is it your desire to walk in the way of God, the word of God?
God spoke to Joshua after Moses was gone, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
The word of God is His law in a position to observe(see) and be able to do without failure as God commands.
In this challenging life, give yourself the word of God to live in you.
Psalm 119:130 encourages, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
The word of God is the way of God.
As an acclaimed believer, gain the understanding and know not to take to the way that seems right.
Proverbs 14:12 warns, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”
Seeking a way outside of God is a way to death physically, spiritually, or emotionally.
Moses lived life for God when he took to the way of God that provokes the presence of God, the peace of God.
It is evidence of carelessness not to ask for the way of God in your life.
Make it continuous to be asking God to show you His way.

Prayer for today: Ask that when God speaks, you will hear to know the way of God.
