FAITH CAPSULE: Are you walking far from God?

Genesis 6

God shall remember you by your way of life.
Calling on God to gain His attention is not an error, but one must seek God diligently to find God.
God is near to all the evidence that He does not forget his creation that seeks him to gain His presence.
Having a desire to be remembered by God should expectantly call on God that does not disregard calling on Him.
Take note that God waits to ask for those who wait on Him. (Isaiah 64:4)
Call on God to be remembered is not an error nor sin but asking, seeking, knocking to gain the attention of God.
Matthew 7:7-8 records, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”  
The Israelites called on God to remember them in the bondage of Egypt.
Exodus 2:23-25 documents the calling of the Israelites unto God,
“Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out, and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them.”
The challenging time is now.
Knowing God for His goodness and mercy is not to keep quiet from calling on God, to be remembered for His divine intervention.
You are not living for God but expecting to find God?
For example, during the days of Noah, when wickedness was increasingly unacceptable before God, Noah was the only one in his challenging time to be remembered by God, the salvation of God.
The Bible records, “…Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.”  (Genesis 6:8)
Noah could not be intimidated to stop doing right but gained attention before God.
Noah found grace, and salvation was his portion to be remembered by God. 
Genesis 8:1 records, “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.” (Genesis 8:1) 
Noah walked with God to be remembered by God. 
One that is consistent with God is bound to be remembered by God. 
Malachi 3:16 testifies, “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So, a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.” (Malachi 3:16) 
Live life to the glory of God, who remembers to respond. 

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to be right before God and be remembered by God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Ask that you be able to seek God diligently.

The standard of seeking God is to seek God diligently to please God but not seek God by mouth. 
To please God is rooted in faith. 
Hebrews 11:6 buttresses, “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” 
Seek God diligently, find God, and have a place in Him.
Deuteronomy 4:29 identifies seeking God diligently, “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.” 
Avoid self-deception, but Know to seek God diligently.
LIVING LIES WILL NOT FIND GOD
Claiming and not living according to the word of God is evidence of ignorance.
Are you living for God?
Truth is bitter.
Many believers claim to be Christian but do not live as Christ-like to flood Church services.
Answering titles and attending or making church a house is not evidence of a Christian.
Are you Christian by the mouth or by your way of life?
Are you conversant in the word of God but walk in the world against the word of God?
Is your life lined up as a disciple of Christ?
Acts 11:26 records, “…the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”
Answering as a Christian and not living as a follower of Christ is easier said than done.
BE A BELIEVING BELIEVER OF THE WORD OF GOD
Are you a believer?
The character of one answering as a believer is living by the word of God, which is living for God.
All owes God to be living for His glory.
Revelation 4:11 records, “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 are to live for the glory of God as all exist as His creation.
How are you living for God?
God has a calling for His creation.
Assuming the calling of God can lead one to answer to self, man, or take to a title, not engaging in a task that counts before God.
Pray to answer to the calling of God.
FIND GOD BY NOT LIVE A LIFE OF WASTE
A believer wanting to find God should know to seek or serve God to find God.
To seek is to serve God.
No one seeks God in their way to find God.
Know to seek God by His way!
God has a standard to seek or serve to find Him.
There is no excuse not to find God.
God called out the Israelites to come out of the bondage to serve Him. (Exodus 4:23)
What makes you not serve or seek to find God?
Deuteronomy 4:29 records, “…seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

Prayer for today: Pray not to live a life of waste but seek and serve to find God.

FAITH CAPSULE: There is a need to know God, to be able to walk with God.

Psalm 34

Know God and know the truth.
The character of knowing God knows the truth to be free.
John 8:32 states, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Do not settle for knowing about God.
Knowing God, the truth of God walks with God to be free, living life for the glory of God. 
Determination is not enough to qualify one as walking with God.
A desire (not just determination) to walk with God shall provoke God to deposit what it takes to walk with Him.  
Get to know God in His word, walk with God, and stay close to God more than ever before.
The challenging time is now.
One who is right by walking with God does not have an excuse not to have challenges but shall experience the deliverance of God in it all.
Psalm 34:19 encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
God has walked people through challenging times they have never experienced before.
God, the unchanging that changes stagnation to motion for good, is still on the throne to walk those who walk with Him through the place of challenges.
Get the understanding that things will never be what they were.
Put aside anything that would keep you from walking with God, not to see, and hear from God, continually.
What you hear from God is for you with the understanding but makes no sense to others outside you.
In walking with God, what one hears is what one will see. Also, it is what one sees that one will receive to become such.
Noah walked with God, he heard to be obedient to God to ignore others.
Prayerfully walk with, before Him, in Him because the best and the worst time is now, but all will live the time to experience that God alone is the unchanging changer, the only God that reverses the irreversible.
With desire, prayerfully ask for enablement to walk with God.
Enoch walked with God to have a healthy 365 years and had sons and daughters.
Enoch did not die a sudden or untimely death as God took him. (Genesis 5:21-24)
Noah walked with God at a time of corruption and destruction. 
Noah walked with God to find grace before God. 
Genesis 6:9-10 testifies, “Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. And Noah begot three sons…” 
Abraham walked before God when God called him out to walk before Him. (Genesis 17:1) 
Abraham walked with God by walking before God, to be blameless and possess the promises of God for his life.
Walking with God is walking for God, also in Him.
WALKING IN HIM
The word of God points out that walking with God, before God, is walking in Him. Colossians 2:6 states, “As you, therefore, have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.”
Have you believed and received God into your life?
Know God, not knowing about God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to walk with God.

FAITH CAPSULE: Gain rest in the word of God.

2 Chronicles 1

Live for God to gain His rest.
Know to celebrate every day to the glory of God.
Ignorance makes a destitute believer celebrate only when happy.
Celebrating joy is incomparable to celebrating happiness.
Know God to calculate the move of God for every moment in life. 
2 Peter 3:8 states, “But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.” 
Come out of religion into religion with the of Christ. 
Celebrate every moment that God has given you.
Listen with understanding, and celebrate every God-given day, not as you wait to celebrate a New Year. 
How are you celebrating every moment before God?
Celebrate God by praising Him at every breath, every moment!
In this wicked world, give yourself to the rest of God.
The wicked world demands the rest of God in the word of God. 
Gain rest in the word of God, not to live a life of waste.
The word of God heals and delivers from destruction.
Psalm 107:20 records, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
The word of God is an undoubted solution for all situations.
Live every moment, continually give yourself to the word of God, the perfect rest solution.
Without a doubt, rest rooted in the word of God will give one rest to stand and not fail in the wicked world.
Wisdom and knowledge give to the rest of God.
Understanding the case of King Solomon is the testimony to the desire for stability with wisdom and knowledge: “Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge these great people of Yours? Then God said to Solomon: “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life—but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king—wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like.” (2 Chronicles 1:10-12)
To gain the rest of God at every moment, understand the fear of God, the beginning of wisdom and knowledge to understand God. (Proverbs 9:10)
Every God-given day demands understanding, wisdom, and knowledge hidden in Christ, not to be a victim of this wicked world. 
Daily, all should give themselves to Christ to prayerfully gain rest from God by asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to gain in the word of God as a solution for rest.

FAITH CAPSULE: Every promise in the word of God will not fail.

God is a good God. His goodness is His blessing.
Living life for God is the undeniable condition required by God for one to claim and gain the promises of God.
Every promise in the word of God does not void.
Isaiah 55:10-11 records, “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”  
The promises of God are in His word.
One with knowledge and understanding of the word of God is a condition for man to claim and gain His promise.
Every promise in the word of God will not fail.
Clearly, through the pages of the Bible, claiming the promises of God comes with a condition (doing according to the word of God).
For example, Exodus 19:5 records, “Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.”
Hear the word of God and do as commanded to gain His promise.
Deuteronomy 6:17 also buttresses, “You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.”
The verses above identified the condition to claim and gain the promise of God:
Is your way of living life going to deliver the promise of God in your life?
Word of God promises, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8)
Live life for God, know to ask, seek, and knock to provoke what to gain.
In life, it is impossible to sow the seed of deception and expect to reap the fruit of perfection. 
Live life as one who knows God because anything short of the truth of God is living a life of a lie.
Living for God is sowing self in God and keeping His commandments. The word states, “He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.  But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this, we know that we are in Him.  He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” (1 John 2:4-6)
One with work before God but without walking in Him is not enough.
Living before God demonstrates believing, but walking before God is behaving in the word of God, the character of living for God.

Prayer for today: Ask to live life for God.
