FAITH CAPSULE: When God remembers, He also rescues. 

Jeremiah 52

 He is the king of kings, the Lord of lords. 
King David testifies, “The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood, and the Lord sits as King forever.” (Psalm 29:10)
The only God that reverses the irreversible is the perfect God.
God reversed what seems to be irreversible for Jehoiachin, who had been in captivity for thirty-seven years, when God raised his head and brought him out. (Jeremiah 52:31) 
When you have a desire to follow God, with positive confession, knowing that God is not a partial God, expect that the new month He has enabled you to see shall answer for you as a month of following God.
To follow God is victory in all endeavors.
With faith, your portion is victory in all endeavors.
Jeremiah 52:31 records, “Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison.”  
God used Evil-Merodach, the king of Babylon and son of Nebuchadnezzar, to lift the head of Jehoiachin. 
God will use anyone to lift you from every challenge that keeps your head down. 
God alone is a capable God who will cause you to preside over your persecutors. 
Evil-Merodach was in the hand of God to lift the head of Jehoiachin. When God remembers, He also rescues. 
Having used Evil-Merodach to rescue Jehoiachin, God also made him change the garment of Jehoiachin from that of a prisoner to that of one who eats before the king all the days of his life. 
The truthfulness of God performs, and He performs with perfection. 
There is nothing God is incapable of doing, and His capability has no measure. 
God visited Daniel in the den of hungry lions. 
He caused the starved lions to have no appetite for fresh meat.
Are you waiting on Him in prayer concerning a challenge that seems unmovable? 
Continue to trust and hope in God by waiting on Him. 
Concerning your challenge, it is not time to stop praying but to continually top up your waiting in prayer. 
God is a prayer-answering God. 
Know it and make it a note in your heart that the understanding that God is capable of bringing the Israelites out of the bondage of over four hundred years is more than able to convert your challenge to a glorious change. 
God alone is Jehovah Sharma, and He will hear and answer at the calling of His Name. 
Stand in faith so that the faithful God will show on your behalf. 
With faith, God is pleased, and without faith, God is not. 
Proverbs 16:7 buttresses, “When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies be at peace with him.” 
Have faith that God is more than capable and will see you through. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to send forth His help and lift your head from every challenge.

FAITH CAPSULE: Are you avoiding devices of distraction so as not to follow God?

1 Samuel 13

The disobedience of King Saul was a distraction.
1 Samuel 13:5-7 documents the distraction of the Israelites, causing them to become scattered in the face of their enemies.
The Bible records, “Then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel, [c]thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth Aven. 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger (for the people were distressed), then the people hid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits. 7 And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.” 
The Israelites do not have any reasonable excuse to look at the military might of the Philistines set against them.
Also, King Saul does not have to look at the fear that caused the stress of the Israelites.
King Saul did not follow the instructions of God through the Prophet Samuel.
King Saul was to wait for seven days, but he failed to wait for Prophet Samuel.
King Saul should have focused on the direction to follow through.
Are you following the word of God?
Following the word of God is engaging direction, not to become a victim of the wicked world.
Distraction can be a weapon of the enemy to deny arrival at the assignment of God.
Many with the calling to follow God have become victims of distraction.
Distraction does not announce itself to derail King Saul from the proposed agenda of God for His calling over his life.
Distraction will derail or deny one with no focus on God.
Distraction is the agent that prevents one from getting to the divine assignment.
Distraction is an agent of derailment from walking in the Lord, to answer fully, just like Caleb and Joshua.
The character of anyone who follows the word of God shall become built up to the glory of God.
Apostle Paul admonishes all in Acts 20:32, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”
Distraction can build up discouragement.
Follow the word of God and be built up for the glory of God.
Pray that being distracted will not have a place in you to deny and derail you from arriving at your divine assignment.
What is distracting is not of God but of the devil.
Seven things that come with distraction are:
Deny distraction from having a place in your heart.
The source of distraction for one not to live life for the glory of God can be from the closest ones.

Prayer for today: Ask for deliverance from any form of distraction.

FAITH CAPSULE: Do you know God to follow Him?

Genesis 22

What kind of a believer are you?
Consciously, who do you follow?
Are you following God by the mouth or by your way of life?
Do you know God to follow Him?
God creates all to live for His glory.
It is the will of God for all to exist for Him. (Revelation 4:11)
To exist for God is to follow Him.
Following God fully is seeking Him diligently.
It is not too much, nor is it too little, to follow Him more.
Why not follow God?
One with a desire to follow God is such that God shall deposit what one has desired.
Have the desire to follow God as your way of life.
To follow Him or attempt to follow Him must deny distraction.
The stage in life or profession will not be an excuse for not following God.
Jesus, who called the fishermen to follow Him.
Just as He called the fishermen, so it is that His call is for all to follow Him.
Matthew 4:18-20 documents the calling by Jesus: “And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
Are you following God, the world, or man?
It is worth it for all to search themselves and know if they are following God or not.
Many assume they are following God, but are far from God.
Answering in the name of religion is not evidence of following God.
For example, answering as a member of the church is not evidence of following God.
Answering to a title is not the meaning of following God.
What is it that one is holding to that will prevent one from following God?
Abram obediently followed the command of God.
God asked for the only son of Abram for sacrifice, and he obeyed God.
In Genesis 22:12, God responded to the obedience of Abram, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
Abraham did not withhold because he had the fear of God.
Abram answered to obey God.
Anyone who does not hold against the command of God is following God.
Following God will lead to living for God, not a life of waste, and arriving at a divine assignment.
All should live life for the glory of God because He creates all to exist for Him.
Follow God, so as not to be a victim of the wicked world.
Through the pages of the Bible, none followed God and failed.

Prayer for today: Pray that whatever you hold on to, not to follow God in His word (command), be separated from your life.

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.
