SHOW ME YOUR WAY LORD GOD

As an acclaimed believer, do you know the way of God?
Knowing the way of God is to live life to the glory of God, not to live a life of waste.
There is no reasonable excuse not to live life by the way of God.
Revelation 4:11records, “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.”
God created all to live by His will, exist for His glory, living by His way.
Do you know the way of God for you?
Have you taken time to seek God for His way in your life?
In life, there is no excuse not to live a life of waste, the evidence of failure, and not answer to the calling of God.
A title answered to, in the name of God, is not the task but demands to know and ask from God for His way.
Life is a journey.
In all your journeys, have you asked God to show you His way for your life?
God called Moses for His assignment, but answering the calling of God was not an excuse for Moses not to ask for the way of God for him.
Exodus 33:12-13 documents the evidence to ask for the way of God over the called one, “Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”
God called Moses, not that Moses called or asked for the calling of God.
Moses answered the calling of God.
After Moses had engaged in the calling of God by leading the Israelites out of the bondage of Egypt, he denied an excuse not to go back to ask for the way of God over his life.
In your life journey, have you asked for the way of God over your life?
Moses did not assume to know the way but asked from God.
Take note, know that prayer opens heaven.
Moses prayed before God to know which is the way of God for him, saying, “Now, therefore, I pray.”
God answered Moses when he asked for the way of God for his life.
Exodus 33:14, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
The answer of God to Moses speaks to all who diligently seek God for His way.
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.

THE DESIRE TO LIVE FOR GOD

From this moment, let it be for you that you will live life for God.
One who lives for God will gain and retain the presence of God.
To be able to live for God is not just word of mouth but praying with desire.
Often, words are easier said than done.
Determination to execute living life for God can fail.
The determination of Peter not to deny Jesus as he promised Jesus failed him by denying Jesus three times. 
A desire to live for God will provoke God to deposit what it takes not to fail before God.
Have the desire, not just determination, to live for God.
LIVE FOR God
Live for God, avoid the path of sin which destroys.
Follow the word of God to keep you off the path of sin. 
One who follows the word of God does not despise God but takes a position to see God in His doing over faithful one. 
Despising the word of God will set one for self-destruction. (Proverbs 13:13) 
In life, one who despises the word of God will sink into sin. 
With sin, one is not seeking God and will not see God. 
Claiming seeking God but telling lies to deceive and manipulate is taking a position not to see God, to experience His visitation.
Does the word speak to you?
Pray not to live a life of sin.
Live for God more than ever before.
Seeking God in your chosen way is not living for God.
Attending a church building on your own time is not evidence of living for God.
Does that speak to you?
Day after day, being alive is the privilege of God, not your power.
Know that God alone is the giver of life, to live life for His glory. Revelations 4:11 confirms, “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.” 
Who or what are you living life for today?
Know that your existence is for God, the Creator.
Live for God and have no excuse not to live for the glory of God. 
Pray that God will enable you to live life for His glory.
Is it your desire to live for God?
To fear God will live for God to excel for His glory.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 states, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.”
Are you serving God in fear?
Is it a lack of understanding that denies you not to fear God? 
Understand and know to be serving God with fear. 
Psalm 2:11 admonishes, “Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.” 
The evidence of a believer that claims the promise of God lives life to fear God.
Why not allow the fear of God to become your priority? 
In your life journey, let the fear of God become your compass to arrive at the center of divine assignment.
Pray that the fear of God becomes established in your heart not to depart from God, living for Him.
What kind of a believer are you?
Are you a believer not studying the word of God but only reading the Bible?
Are you one with quotes or claims to know the word but walks outside of the word of God?  
What kind of a believer are you?
Are you with a title but no task to gain and retain the presence of God?
Seek God, not man.
Those who seek God with all their heart and soul seek God diligently to find Him and to live for Him.
To find God will live for God. 
Deuteronomy 4:29 reports, “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.”
Always strive to be a believer that prevails.
Pray to live life by the word of God.
For you, know God to fear and obey God. 
The majority fear God by the mouth, not by the depth of the heart, and living by the way of the world.
One with the title in the name of God, quoting the word of God, or making the place of worshipping God their home is not evidence of the fear of God.
Ask God to enable you to fear Him. 
Jesus commanded all to ask, and God said, “I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever.” (Jeremiah 32:39)
God is not partial.
God will give to those who ask.
To fear God is evidence of obedience to the word of God.
Joseph testifies the reason to fear God, “…Do this and live, for I fear God.” (Genesis 42:18) 
Pray with the desire to fear God.
King David, a man after the heart of God, 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)
You have asked God to give you a desire. 
Now ask that desire for God be established in you, to seek Him and live for Him.

DISTRACTION SHALL NOT BE YOUR PORTION

Without any doubt, distraction will derail or deny focus on the calling of God to arrive at the divine center assignment.
Distraction can be a disruption or disturbance.
Distraction can also be an indefinable force that will derail not experiencing the presence of God.
For example, Samson was the calling of God to be a deliverer of his people by the hand of God. 
When he was to become conceived, God sent an angel that said to his mother that she shall conceive and bear a son with instruction not to drink wine or similar drink and not to eat anything unclean.
The angel also instructed her that no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. (Judges 13:3-5) 
BEFORE THE BIRTH OF SAMSON, WAS DESTINED TO DELIVER HIS PEOPLE, BUT DISTRACTION PROVOKED HIS DISOBEDIENCE BEFORE GOD. 
SAMSON LOOKED AWAY FROM THE WORD OF DIRECTION INTO THE WORLD.
Distraction will lead to looking away from God.
Samson FAILED to hide under the word of God (the word of God is a place to dwell and abide for obedient one) to become exposed to the evil devices of his wife (Delilah) and made him become a victim in the hand of his enemy. 
Watching and praying will deny distraction. 
The book of Judges 16 records,  “When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart.” 
The source of distraction for one not to live life for the glory of God can be from the closest one as an agent of evil.
Samson failed to deny distraction over his life.
However, distraction is deniable.
For example, during the challenges of Job, it was his wife who attempted to distract Job. 
Job 2:9 records the distraction of his wife, “Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!”  
Unlike Samson, Job resisted the device of distraction from his wife when he responded: “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” (Job 2:10) 
Are you avoiding the patterns of distraction in your way of life?
Know and understand how to deny distractions from close ones or ones from a distance.
Deny distraction, remain focused on God, and not become a victim of the evil of this world.
Many have received Jesus as Lord and Savior, but distraction denies focusing on God.
Does that sound like you?
Distraction is a weapon of the enemy.
For example, Martha welcomed Jesus into her life, her house, but she could not avoid distraction from denying her to gain a position in the presence of Jesus. 
Martha welcomed Him into her house, “But Martha was distracted with much serving…”
Jesus identifies the distraction of Martha:
Martha was worried and troubled about many things.
Martha welcomed Jesus into her house, but distraction prevented her from Jesus.  
Who or what is your distraction? 
Deny distraction and focus on God alone. 
From this moment, do not become a victim of distraction to experience evil occurrences over your life.
PRAYER:
Ask God to deliver you from every force of distraction, consciously or unconsciously, physically, spiritually, or emotionally, over your life.
Ask that distraction that derails the called one of God shall not locate you, to derail you from answering fully to the calling of God.
Ask that you shall not be trapped, not become asleep in the hand of evil agenda. (Sampson went to sleep and woke in the hand of the enemy to find out that the LORD HAS departed from Him.) 
Job denied the spirit of distraction from his.
Ask that in every relation with you, the spirit to deny distraction becomes established in you.
Ask that you will know and understand how to deny distractions from close ones or ones from a distance.
Ask that way, or habits (the pattern) of distraction shall not have a place in your life.
Like Martha, many have received Jesus as Lord and Savior, but distraction denies focusing on God.
Ask that focusing on the assignment of God in your life shall be established and not become a victim of distraction. 
Jesus identified the worrying of Martha as the agent of her distraction.
Ask that spirit and other forces of getting worried to become distracted in the calling of God shall not have a place in your life in the name of Jesus.
Ask that worrying that provokes you to be troubled about many things should cease in your life.
Ask God to enable you to always watch and pray against distraction.

HAVE THE DESIRE TO GAIN THE MERCY OF GOD

The dictionary describes mercy: Mercy is the compassionate treatment of those in distress, especially when it is within the power of one to punish or harm them. 
With God, mercy means His compassion and kindness toward people. 
His mercy shows up in believers at salvation, and God continues to show mercy in forgiveness. 
Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Mercy is deep and describes a caring God.
Only God that mercy can no one measure, a glorious character.
Know to do well by giving all to God to gain and retain His incomparable mercy. 
Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, the mercy of God has been consistent to see you this far, not to become a victim of the wicked world.
The mercy of God means God is compassionate and kind.
The mercy of God is with forbearance that does not run out.
The mercy of God is His loyal love; it is the conventional love of the covenant-keeping God. 
For to experience the mercy of God is not by merit but by the goodness of God to be received.
Just as power belongs unto God, mercy also belongs to God. 
God cannot be intimidated or manipulated by any of His creations to receive His mercy.
The mercy of God is not attainable by the work but by walking with God. 
God testifies to His mercy in Romans 9:14-16, “…I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion. So, then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.”
The mercy of God is in place for all, and nothing under heaven can displace or deny one that God will visit.
With mercy, God led the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. 
The Bible records, “You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed…” (Exodus 15:13) 
In the given days that you have by the breath of life, understand and know to live life to attain the mercy of God as the Bible records His word.
God alone will have mercy on whom He chooses to, but He will also have for one who lives by His command.
TO OBTAIN THE MERCY OF GOD:
Live by loving God.
Obedience to the word of God is evidence of love for God that will always provoke God for His mercy. 
The story of Joseph points out that Joseph kept the commandment of God by forbidding adultery when he fled away from sleeping with the wife of his master. 
Joseph reacted against the temptation of the wife of his master to experience the mercy of God as the Bible mentions, “But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor…” (Genesis 39:21).
Joseph loves God to obtain the mercy of God.
Know to plead for His mercy.
God identified Job as a man with none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and shuns evil. 
Despite the stand of Job as a man of integrity before God, he knows to plead for mercy before God: “For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I would beg mercy of my Judge” (Job 9:15). 
Just like Job, the Psalmist had to plead for the mercy of God, “Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death.” (Psalm 9:13). 
Know to plead for mercy before God.
Know to trust God for His mercy.
The Psalmist declared, “But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation” (Psalm 13:5). 
With trust is to lift voice to gain His mercy. 
Luke 17:13 records, “And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 
God is merciful.
Ask for forgiveness to gain the mercy of God.
With repentance, one who asks before God for forgiveness will receive the mercy of God. The Bible records, “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God is good and merciful; no iota of evil can deny the mercy of God that is in place for one with the understanding that calls on God. 
To gain mercy, Proverbs 28:13 encourages, “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsake them will have mercy.” God is merciful to respond with mercy for one who trusts God and knows to ask for forgiveness.
To do good gains the mercy of God.
Do no evil, but do good at all times. 
The Word of God in Proverbs 14:22 confirms, “…but mercy and truth belong to those who devise good. 
Devise good, but not evil will attain the mercy of God.
What one sows and to fear God will gain His mercy.
Among doing, to gain the mercy of God is to gain what one would like to sow.
Hosea 10:12 buttresses the word of God, “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy.” 
Above all, fear God to gain His mercy.
Psalm 103:17 records for learning, “But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him…” Luke 1:50, “And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.” 
To fear God will provoke all to do to gain His mercy.

IN THIS SEASON, ALLOW THE FEAR OF GOD TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE

This season, fear God to experience the glory of God.
Faith is in hearing the word of God. 
Faith is the source of fearing God. 
A failure not to fear God is in doubt, evidence of not hearing the word of God to keep.
Romans 10:17 records, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” 
Without a doubt, not hearing the word of God will give fear a place in the position of faith. 
All that God wants from all is to hear and have fear for Him. 
Ecclesiastes 12:13 states, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.” Hear to fear God.
To fear God is the key to live life for His glory.
God sent Moses the importance of hearing to fear Him. 
Deuteronomy 4:10 states, “…Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.”  
Hearing the word of God is crucial to having faith, to fear God by not giving oneself to fear. 
The word of God through Moses for the children of Israel does not exempt all today. 
God is the same before yesterday, today, and forever. 
What is it denying you not to hear the word of God, to fear God?
The word of God against hindrance that denies to hear and not fear sounded for Israelites, “Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear.” (Deuteronomy 21:21)
The force that hinders not hearing the word of God, to fear God, shall become terminated.
To fear God is faith, and to fear outside of God is doubt that will cause evil. 
Once, the journey of Peter demonstrates what it is to have faith and fear God but not become a victim of doubt.
With Peter, when he heard the word of Jesus, he walked on storm. However, when he set his eyes on the storm, taking his eyes away from the word of Jesus, he sank.
Jesus set Peter and other disciples on a journey engaged in the storm.
“Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.” (Matthew 14:22)
Disciples were in trouble water and did not see Jesus with them.
Matthew 14:26 records, “And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.”  
Seeing the negative is shelving the positive to have heard. 
Disciples were troubled.
They cried out in fear because they could not remember all they had heard in the word of Jesus. 
Matthew 14:27-28 records the response to the disciples, “But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”  
The word of Jesus was for disciples to hear to deny fear. 
Hearing the word of God is a way to deny seeing fear at all times.
With fear in the storm, Peter responded to Jesus with faith and heard from God, saying, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” (Matthew 14:29-30)
Peter heard Jesus, and faith rose for him to walk in the storm. 
However, when he began to look away from God by focusing on the storm, his faith sank, and then fear rose in him to sink. 
Hearing the word of God is seeking God as the only source to avoid sinking in a storm. 
Self-deliverance will work when one gives self to the word of God. 
FEAR THE LORD GOD
Fear the Lord God, as some words in the Bible demand:
Deuteronomy 10:12, “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” 
THE EXPERIENCES WITH THE FEAR OF THE LORD  
The experience of one that fears the Lord God as the Bible identifies:
Psalm 128:1, “Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, Who walks in His ways. 
Psalm 19:23, “The fear of the Lord leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction, He will not be visited with evil.” 
Acts 9:31, “And walking in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.” 
Claiming as a believer is living by hearing the word of God that enable the hearer of the word to live in the fear of God.
By the fear of the Lord, one departs from evil. (Psalm 16:6)
