FAITH CAPSULE: The month is running out for a new month to run in.

Luke 17:14

Are you prepared for the coming new month?
In preparation is to give thanks to God that have brought you this far.
Thanking is appreciation.
Give thanks to God always.
God expects a character of appreciating His doing.
The documentation of one leper among ten lepers healed by Jesus demonstrated giving thanks to God for the past.
When lepers saw Jesus, they cried out to Him for healing, and He reacted.
Luke 17:14 records, “So when He saw them, He said to them, ‘Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.”
All ten lepers experienced healing in response to Jesus.
However, one of the lepers responded to healing.
Luke 17:15-16 records, “And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks.”
One leper demonstrated the importance of going back to the past.
Are you one who looks back to God for what He has done?
Always look back to give thanks.
Jesus responded to one looking back to give thanks.
Luke 17:17-19 records, “So Jesus answered and said, ‘Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”
Are you going back to give thanks to God for all the days He bestows on you?
Jesus questioned the location of nine lepers who did not turn back to give thanks.Jesus awaits thanks in return for what He has done and is doing for all.
Be conscious of what God has been doing and is doing for you so far.
Day after day, week after week, to this day, it is a great privilege of God.
One month is running out for the incoming of a new month.
Settle down, think of all God has done, give Him thanks, and be the evidence of trusting Him for the coming month.
Praying before God for the coming month is preparation to have God in all going and coming.
God performs in prayer, perfects in giving Him thanks
God is a living God, a jealous God.
The antidote for His jealousy is giving Him attention.
Thanking God for what He has done and what He is about to do will gain His attention.
Take note that God waits to act for those who wait for Him.
Wait on God by thanking Him to gain His attention.
God waits to act for those who wait on Him.
Thank God, the month is about to expire.
Prepare for the coming month by thanking God, who will perfect for you.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to wait patiently on his hand by thanking Him.

FAITH CAPSULE: Give yourself to praying the word of God continually.

Luke 5:

Just a word of God is enough to terminate the struggle for one who will listen and adhere to the word.
A word from Jesus put an end to the struggle of His disciples.
Professional fishermen had finished all night with nothing to show.
When the fishermen finished and set out to walk away empty-handed, Jesus showed up to them to give a word to the fishermen, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” (Luke 5:4)
The disciples followed the word to experience the end of their struggle.
The fishermen caught and had to drop their fishing to follow Jesus.
The struggle of the disciples to meet the needs of the training ceased.
What is your struggle?
A word is enough to terminate the struggle.
Lack of meeting needs will lead to a struggle to reduce one.
What reduces your life?
Whatever that is reducing you physically, spiritually, or emotionally will be permanently terminated in the name of Jesus.
Whatever one wants to reduce, another will cut off such from having life.
Be encouraged not to become cut off and reduced.
Job 14:7 states, “For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease.”
If a tree that is not a human being survives, you shall begin to rise where you are experiencing to become cut off, where you want to remain.
PRAYER
Ask that God, in His mercy, uphold you so that you do not become a reduced vessel but exist to be lifting the name of God for His glory.
Pray for failure for every attack set against your life.
THINK OR ASK FOR YOUR STEP TO BE IN GOD.
The only way in life is to watch and pray over life.
Life is a great privilege of God to be alive.
Many began the year, but are now gone.
Think about it, what is it that qualifies you to be alive?
It is not knowing how to live life that is the reason you are alive.
PRAYER
Pray that the grace and mercy that brought you this shall not expire, but see you further for the glory of God.
Ephesians 3:20 encourages all to think or ask, for it is what will become of such.
Think or ask (is your prayer) that your step be in God.
In life, how one takes a step determines where one lands
to settle.
What kind of steps are you taking before God?
What one gives into life is what one gets back from life.
At the attempt of King Saul to kill David, Jonathan resolved to help David escape from King Saul. David realized the attempt of King Saul to terminate his life, telling Jonathan, “there is but a step between me and death.” (1 Samuel 20:3)
David watched and prayed over his step not to experience sudden death in the name of Jesus..
PRAYER
Ask that your step from this hour shall not experience evil occurrence to reduce you.
Ask that you shall not fall, fail, or falter in every step you take physically, spiritually. 

FAITH CAPSULE: Share and keep all about His doing. 

Psalm 119:1-64

The testimony of God is His doing.
The doing of God should not be quiet but be the song of provoking His blessing. 
Keeping what God has done in your life and keeping what one shared with you is keeping the testimony of God to provoke the blessing of God.
God is not a liar to fail to deliver His promise.
What God said He will do is a done deal.
Glory be to God!
Glory be to God!
The word of God does not return void to Him.
Isaiah 55:11, “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.”
What God said He will do is a done deal.
What God cannot do, He cannot fail.
Sharing with others about what God has done or done in the life of one is also keeping the testimonies of God.
Share and keep what God has done and is doing, to provoke the blessing of God.
Psalm 119:2 states, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies…”
Make it a way of life, keeping what the Lord God has done.
Testimony is a way of not keeping quiet but speaking out loud to the glory of God.
Testimony is also a way of celebrating God by speaking out loudly.
Consider being loud about lifting a jealous God for what He has done or is doing.
Testifying to the goodness of God is giving Him attention.
One that testifies to the doing of God, promotes His goodness, and takes a position for promotion.
The psalmist understands to rest in the testimony, testifying, “The wicked wait for me to destroy me, but I will consider Your testimonies.” (Psalm 119:95) 
The testimonies of God are the evidence of His work. 
Testifying about God is gaining access to the power of God that is mighty to deliver. 
Testifying of God is counting on God.
Above all, when one reminds God of the work of His hand, He will react concerning the war that confronts one. 
Once, Goliath stood against the children of Israel with verbal insults and harassment of Israel, and none of the Israelites could consider the testimonies of God, that is powerful enough to deliver.
David drew boldness and courage from the testimonies of God to bring down Goliath. 
David testified, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” (1 King 17:37) 
The first offensive weapon David used against Goliath was reminding all forces of opposition about what God had done in his life. 
In the face of challenges, those who trust God enough to remember what He has done will always gain His support.

Prayer for today: Ask that the testimonies shall continually be your portion.

LET GOD BE  

FAITH CAPSULE: Think or ask for your step to be in God.

Jeremiah 12

Ephesians 3:20 encourages you to think about what you ask.
Think or ask for your step to be in God.
In life, how one takes a step determines where one lands to settle.
What kind of steps are you taking before God?
What one gives into life is what one gets back from life.
Prayerfully, watch your steps, and know that God oversees the affairs of man.
God is not the author of suffering; He is full of mercy. 
Psalm 86:15 testifies, “But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.”
PRAYER
Ask that from this hour, God order your steps in all your going and all your coming.
Ask that you shall not fall, fail, or falter in every step. 
Ask that you shall not be a victim of evil in your going and coming. 
In your step, be a believer who does not live as a hypocrite.
The life of hypocrites is not good.
Are you a believer who seeks God with the expectation of finding God in your step?
To find God: 
Seeking God with the character of seeking God in your way, consciously or unconsciously, will not find God.
One seeking God, impressing man, not God, will not find God, and God will say to such, “I do not know you.”
God calls all to seek Him.
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.”
One that is not doing according to the word of God is not seeking God diligently.
Seeking God diligently will find God.
Seeking God diligently is to seek Him with all heart and all soul.
The pages of the Bible encourage us to seek God diligently.
A hypocrite is not of God.
A hypocrite is the identity of the wicked one.
Jesus identifies the hypocrite, “Hypocrites! Well, did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me…” (Matthew 15:7-8)  
Jeremiah 12:1-2 states, “Why does the way of the wicked prosper? You have planted them, yes they have taken root;
They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth, but far from their mind. Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?” 
Are you a hypocrite, a pretender believer? 
A hypocrite is one whose walk and talk do not match, who knows about the word but does not practice it. 
What one possesses and does not profess is worshipping God in vain.
Strive not to miss before God.
PRAYER:
Ask that the spirit of answering as a believer but living outside of God, as a pretender believer, shall not have a place in your life.
Ask you shall not be a hypocrite, a wicked one in life, and not live a life of waste.

FAITH CAPSULE: Responsibility is the price for greatness.

Joshua 1

Live responsibly, seeing in the Word of God.
Living a life of responsibility can be exceedingly costly and laborious, requiring strict discipline.
One that engages it as is described shall excel to the glory of God.
Indeed, responsibility is a price for greatness.
Responsibility is the price to excel for the glory of God.
It is a responsibility to see in the Word of God.
To see in the Word of God will gain unfailing direction.
Navigating in the world of wickness shall not have a place.
An acclaimed believer who does not see in the word of God will live as an unbelieving believer, that is, set to live a life of waste.
Seeing the word of God is rooted in listening to understand and having knowledge, living according to the word of God.
What kind of a believer are you?
Are you responsible enough to be seeing in the Word of God?
It is responsible for mediating the word of God.
One who meditates on the word of God day and night is hearing and hearing the word of God to see what God says in His word.
Be responsible, engage in meditating with God, a way of communicating with God.
Joshua 1:8 states, “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.”
Responsibility is a choice, not to force on one with no desire to engage in the labour it demands.
Praying before God is a responsibility to locate God.
Responsibility demands watching in prayer.
The word of God repeatedly commands all to watch and pray.
One who is not watching and praying is not in a position to see God, who waits to act for those who wait on Him. 
Isaiah 64:4 records, “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.”
Elisha was responsible and waited on God in prayer on behalf of his servant to see the deliverance plan of God over his life, not to become a victim of evil.
2 Kings 6:17 states, “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.”
It is ignorance of a believer not to hear, see, and do according to the word of God.
What kind of a believer are you?
As a believer, let it be a way of life, a responsibility to see God with His plan for deliverance and preservation over the life of such.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live a life of responsibility to the glory of God.
