LIVE FOR GOD

Live life to give God regard constantly.
Do not be a hypocrite but live life-giving regard to God consistently.
Seek God by giving Him attention for all He has done.
Giving God attention is attending Him for his jealousy.
Exodus 34:14 identifies God, “For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.” 
God also said in His commandment, “For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God…” (Exodus 20:5) 
God desires, deserves, and requires from all to live life by giving Him regard with all heart. 
Giving God regard at every breath is worthy. 
Psalm 150:6 states, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” Giving regard to God demands consistency, not a casual approach. 
Giving regard to God can be likened to sowing and expecting to reap. 
In life, what a man sow is what such will reap.
Regardless of how banana and plantain look alike, it is impossible to sow banana and expects to reap plantain.
To fear God is to love and seek God by giving Him constant regard. Deuteronomy 10:12 buttresses, “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” 
One that fears God is giving regard to God to gain the attention of God.
“As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him.” (Psalm 103:13)
Giving regard to God can be described as thinking of God highly, giving God admiration, and giving esteem to God. 
Giving regard to God is rooted in hallowing Him with honor.
Jealousy God demands attention from His creation. 
The work of God is the operation of His hands and should never fail to gain attention from His creation.
Psalm 28:5 pointed out what a failure to regard God is about, “Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them and not build them up.” (Psalm 28:5)
Giving regard to God is to do good that pleases God. 
In times of challenge, give regard to God to gain His goodness, the evidence for His awareness.
Among ways of doing good to please God are: 
Charitable deeds, praying with no hypocrites and fasting with a heart set on God the evidence of giving regard to God. 
Do good at all times, not only engage at times of challenging situations.
Give God attention for His awesomeness. 
Doing good to please God should not impress others press further in their relationship with God. 
Do not be a hypocrite but live life to give God regard constantly.
Give regard to God.
A commitment to giving regard to God will build a relationship with God. 
David was giving regard to God to have a relationship with God. 
One with a relationship with God determines the kind of communication with God.
The relationship of David with God is evidenced by his communication with God when he states, “I cry out to the Lord with my voice; With my voice, to the Lord, I make my supplication. I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble. (Psalm 142:1-2) 
One that does not know God cannot have a special relationship by communicating with God.
Relationship with God is the evidence of knowing God.
In life, personalizing God is from giving regard to God constantly. Personalizing God builds up a relationship with God. 
Relationship with God is evidence of how much one knows God. 
Is it your desire to know God? 
God has given what it takes for one to be knowledgeable about Him. However, knowing God is a choice and not by force. 
One with the choice of knowing God will be full of the knowledge of God and not lack the knowledge of God. 
Just like David, Daniel knew God. 
The Bible testifies about Daniel stating that those who know their God shall do exploit. (Daniel 11:32) 
Truly Daniel did exploit when he lived as an overcomer through four different unbelieving kings that could hurt or terminate his life. 
Daniel constantly gave regard to God, and his captivity did not prompt him to complain, but he purposed heart not to defile himself with what is not of God. (Daniel 1:8) 
Daniel, a man of God, gave regard with his custom prayer approach to God. (Daniel 6:10)
David, Daniel lived life as an example of giving regard to God and knowing God.
One with the heart not to know God becomes short of the benefit encased in knowing good gracious God. 
To lack knowledge of God makes a man a vessel that perishes. 
The lack of knowledge is evidence of one that does not give regard to God.
Giving regard to God is very crucial to navigate through the wicked word. Give God regard. 
Ask God to enable you to give Him regard to having a relationship with God, knowing Him.

SEE GOD IN HIS WORD 

This new month, with desire, pray to be hearing and seeing in the word of God, and what you see shall become of you.
The statement of Job is encouraging, testifying, 
“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You.” (Job 42:5) 
What one hears in the word of God is what one sees to receive and become of such.
Do you hear and see in the word of God to experience the manifestation of the word?
Proverbs 4:21 speaks to all, “Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart.” 
Hear, see, and receive to become what the word says.  
Ask to always see in the word constantly.
God has brought you this far.
It is not how long challenges persist or resist but how far God has brought you. 
God deserves thanks from all continually.
Give thanks to God for all things.
Gratitude is a feeling of being grateful or thankful. 
Among the identities of a thankful one is contentment. 
Regardless of your situation, are you giving thanks to God always?
Ephesians 5:20 encourages: Give thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  
Giving thanks to God for all situations will have all things work together for good, to the glory of God. (Romans 8:28)
Know that God loves all. 
God is mindful of His creation. 
God creates all to live life for His glory. (Revelation 4:11)
Give Him thanks for His goodness and mercy that have brought you this far in life.
Ask that the goodness and mercy of God shall not expire over your life in the name of Jesus.
Challenges that persist resists should not deny one from thanking God.
Know to trust with hope in God.
Trusting God should not be limited to when there is no challenge. 
Job, during his days of unimaginable challenges, declares, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” (Job 13:15) 
If Job can trust God during his challenges, what prevents all from trusting God? 
Are your challenges more than what Job experienced?
God will not overlook you in your challenges.
Trust with hope to provoke the blessing of God.
Jeremiah 17:7 encourages, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.”
Ask God to enable you to trust and have hope in Him.
Trusting and hoping in God is the character of one that seeks God diligently.
Seeking God with all heart and all soul is the evidence of seeking God diligently, and such will find God.
One seeking God with diligence is the one that pleases God to gain and retain His reward.
Hebrews 11:6, “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.”
This time of the year, seeking God by thanking Him for all things, in all things, take the position to seek God in His word.
A failure not to see God in His word will not see God, limited, not to gain and retain the presence of God.
Many documentations in the Bible that could not see in the word of God to claim His deliverance and preservation ended in the pain of failure not to see God in His word.
See God in His word, gain deliverance, and become preserved by Him.
Psalm 107:20 states, “He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.”
John 10:10 Jesus, the word of God, states, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.” 
What is holding one not to hear, seeing, to receive what the word says?
Remember, the servant of Elisha could not see deliverance force in position, against his enemy.
Elisha prayed for him, and his EYES opened to see the force of God in place for deliverance.
David, in Psalm 143:8, demonstrated an earnest appeal for guidance and deliverance, “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.”
Just like David prayed, know to pray before God, seeing Him in His word.
Ask that God enable you in all hearing to hear and see His lovingkindness in all the days of your life, for His lovingkindness shall continually answer over you.
Ask that you shall be hearing the word of God continually, and make your walking in His way without derailing.
This season, seek God in His word to see Him, to live life for God. 
Seek God diligently, thanking Him for all things, the evidence of having faith.
One with faith will please God to find Him.
To find God is to see Him in His word, to receive from God.
Live life to the glory of God! 

LET THE MONTH BE OF LIVING IN THE ORDER OF GOD

The word of God is His order.
The order of God is a precise direction not to become a victim of disorderliness.
Let the new month be your month of walking in the order of God.
One that knows to remember and prepare is in the order of God to gain and retain the presence of God.
Failure not to remember God will not know to prepare to have an encounter with God.
1 Corinthians 14:40 encourages all, “Let all things be done decently and in order.”
Ask: This month, remembering, preparing before God, and keeping His order shall be your portion not to be disordered and be displaced from living to the glory of God.
The word of God is His order, the source of having faith in God.
Romans 10:17 informs all: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
The character of one with faith is living in the order of God.
HAVING FAITH:
Faith comes by hearing the word of God without ceasing.
Faith will also depart from one that does not give itself, hearing the word of God consistently, continually.
Are you giving yourself to hearing the word of God without ceasing, living in the order of God?
Many are with claim to have faith.
It is not enough to have faith, but one faithful matters and counts, toward living in the order of God.
Knowing about faith is limited, not being faithful, the identity of one that knows the faith, when engaged in giving self to the word of God as a way of life.
So many know about faith but do not know to be faithful and not live in the order of God.
To be living in the order of God is crucial, pleases God.
One living in the word of God is the character of seeking God diligently. 
Living in the order before God is the antidote to disorder.
In every form of the disorder, God does not inhabit.
Hezekiah, the King of Judah, does not have his house in order as Isaiah 38:1 records, “In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’ ”
In every way of life, lack of order is evidence of the lack of faith that prompts painful consequences.
King Hezekiah turned to God for repentance, and God had mercy on him not to die an untimely death. (Isaiah 38)
THINK OF THIS ABOUT SEEKING GOD DILIGENTLY:
To be faithful is the orderliness to seek God diligently with preparation to engage and experience the presence of God.
Preparation is the demonstration of expectation to experience manifestation.
Preparation is the character of God that will not look away from one that engages in preparation to find Him.
Psalm 147:8 documents the testimony of God with preparation for bringing forth, “Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.”
John the Baptist prepares for the way coming of Jesus.
Mark 1:2 records, “As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.”
At the celebration of Passover with the disciples, Jesus called His disciple into the order for the preparation for a place, “Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us.” (Mark 14:15)
It is faithful for one to prepare, to be ready for the manifestation of expectation.
Preparing before God is the character expectant, evidence of keeping to orderliness.
THINK OF MEDITATING ON THE WORD OF GOD
It is an order to meditate on the word of God with preparation to observe, that is, to see in the word of God and be able to do according to the word /order of God.
God gave the order to Joshua after Moses, “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.” (Joshua 1:8)
Prepare by meditating on the word of God to see (observe) and experience manifestation in the order given to Joshua.
One that is faithful, full of the word of God, is living in orderliness.
Faithful know the word of God to the heart, not just carry the word in their head. 
Acclaimed believers carry the word in their heads, not live according to the order in the word of God.
One with the word in the head, not in the heart, is the character of the wicked one, evidence of living outside of God. (Jeremiah 12:1-2)
What kind of a believer are you?
Luke 18:8 documents, “when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”  
Determination is not enough to live by the word of God. 
Determination failed Peter to deny Jesus three times, but desire and the prayer of Jesus established Peter to live by the order He gained, walking with Jesus.
With desire and prayer to live in order before God, so shall it be.

THE PEACE OF GOD IS YOUR PORTION

In this wicked world, the only way to gain and retain the presence of God is to walk in His way.
The presence of God is His word, His peace that does not fail for one that gives self to His word.
Prayerfully, Moses answered the calling of God in his leading of the Israelites, “…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.” (Exodus 33:13)
God responds to the prayer of Moses, “And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Exodus 33:14)
In the way of God is His presence.
The presence of God inhabits the rest of God.
The character of the rest of God is the peace of God.
In this challenging world of wickedness, a determination is not enough to gain and retain the peace of God.
One that gives self to prayer and the word of God will gain and retain the peace of God.
In the pages of the Bible, some pointers lead to learning in the way of God to gain and retain the peace of God.
Romans 15:4 encourages all, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”
Among the documentation of the word to learn, gain and retain the peace of God are:
KNOW THE TRUTH TO GAIN AND RETAIN THE PEACE OF GOD
John 8:31-32 records, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  
The word of God is truth. 
Do you know God or know about God? 
Knowing about is not the same as knowing the truth. 
Knowing the truth builds a believer not to be a liar, deceiver, or manipulator and not run in the place to walk, the evidence of having the peace of God.
Know the truth to fear God and turn to live free for God. 
Dwell, abide in the truth with the character of one with the peace of God.
DISOBEYING GOD WILL TERMINATE A GLORIOUS DESTINY IN LIFE
One with peace of God will not have a reason to disobey God directly or indirectly. 
King Saul repeatedly violated the direction of God in place for his glorious destiny. 
God sent Samuel to Saul to attack and utterly destroy the Amalekites. 
Saul was unwilling but disobeyed God, an act of snubbing God.
King Saul disobeyed God, and he became substituted from the plan of God for his life. (1 Samuel 15) 
Pride and inability to wait on God are the company of iniquity before God, evidence of disobeying God to provoke God to be substituted in the assignment of God.
Do not give way to disobedience but let the peace of God occupy you. 
AVOID CONFESSING NEGATIVE 
In every careless thought, there will be reckless communication. 
Communicating or confessing wrong is taking God for granted. 
Let the peace of God occupy you to avoid wrong thoughts.
Know that communicating negatively before God will prompt a negative result.
With negative communication, are you seeking wants instead of needs before God?
Proverbs 18:21 warns against negative communication: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” 
The Israelites confess death at their lack of want, and God responds, saying to them, ‘As I live,’ says the lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you. (Numbers 14:28)
The peace of God does not have a place for negative confession to the hearing of God.
THE WAY (WORD) OF GOD IS IRRELEVANT TO THE WORLD
Deuteronomy 8:6 states, “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.” 
If your way of living is relevant to the world, the word of God becomes irrelevant to you, or when your way is the same as the world, you are far from God.
Are your ways of life relevant to the world? 
One relevant to the world is evidence of the lack of fear for God.
Fear God in the heart, not in the mouth.
Psalm 128:1 admonishes, “Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways.”
One with the fear of God will rest in His peace.
Ask to be enabled to fear God.
PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF GOD
This month, the Peace of God shall be established in you and continually be activated.
The characters of one with the peace of God are:
To trust and hope in God is with a mind that stays on God, to gain the peace of God.
Isaiah 26:3 confirms, “The peace of God is for those whose minds stay on Him.”
To love the word of God is with the peace of God and not stumble in an unstable world.
Psalm 119:165 records, “Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble.”
PRAY: 
The peace of God that surpasses all understanding shall become your portion. (Philippians 4:7)

LET IT BE A YEAR OF LIVING LIFE FOR GOD

The grace and mercy of God have brought you to be alive into a New Year, not because you know how to live life.
Make the right choice, and upgrade your life to live for God.
Live life doing what the word of God asks all to do.
At a wedding in Cana of Galilee where wine for celebration was out, Mary, the mother of Jesus, encouraged the servants with the solution for lack to obey “Whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5) 
The servants obeyed, and water turned to wine, for the wedding celebration continued with the miracle of obedience, not mockery.
From today, make the right choice to live life by the word of God and not become a victim of the evil of a wicked world.
In your New Year, live life by the word of God. 
Whatever the word of God says to you, do it.
What kind of a believer are you?
Living life is giving self to the word of God, living life for God.
One that does not live life for God denies knowing God.
Why not have the desire to live life for God?
Determination is not enough to live life for God.
The desire with prayer will make one live life for God.
Peter was determined not to deny Christ.
However, Peter denied Jesus three times, but the prayer of Jesus worked out for Peter not to become a victim of not living for God, denial of knowing Christ. (Luke 22:32-61)
Living life for God demands giving self to the word of God continually and praying to walk worthy to the glory of God.
LIVE LIFE FOR GOD IS SEEKING GOD DILIGENTLY
Living life for God is seeking God diligently. 
With desire, live life for God to find 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.” 
“Jeremiah 29:13 records, “And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”  
If seeking God to find God is not possible, God would not have asked for seeking Him.
Live life for God, seek Him, and find Him. 
David is an example of such. 
1 Kings 14:8 records, “…My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes.” (1 King 14:8) 
Living life for God and seeking Him is possible. 
Ask God to enable you to seek Him diligently.
LIVE LIFE FOR GOD AS MANIFESTATION SON OF GOD
What kind of a believer are you?
God creates all for His glory. (Revelation 4:11)
Ask to be enabled to live life for the glory of God.
Living life for God is not a thing of mouth or religion but dwelling and abiding by the word of God.
To abide in God is the character of one that lives for God, which Jesus demands from all. 
John 8:31 records, “…If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.” 
Claiming to be a believer and not abide in Him is a joke, which is ceremonial religion. 
Today, live life before God, answer as manifestation son of God. 
The disciples of Jesus were testimony of manifestation sons of God by their way of life before God.
Manifestation sons of God are to be in place, living life before God with a mark of not being a pushover by the wickedness of this world.
What kind of a believer are you?
Nothing will bring you down living life for God if you do not look away from God.
One keeping by the word of God will live a life of testimony as a son of manifestation.
Romans 8:19 speaks to acclaimed believers, “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.”
However, the acclaimed sons of God could not be recognized as revealed sons of God because the world is yet to experience the evidence of sons of God.
One that does not live for God by not standing in His word cannot become victorious, manifesting as the son of God.
Search yourself continually to know if you are near to God by your way of living life.
God is always near, but with sin, living against the word of God is to become far from God.
Determination is not enough to live for God, but with desire, God will deposit for one to live life for His glory.
Proverbs 6:22 identifies what it becomes of one with a desire to live for God: “When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.”
If it is impossible to live life as a son of manifestation, the word will not point out the revelation of the sons of God
Live for God as a son of God.
Give yourself to the word of God, continually be upgraded, not become down and not stand out for the glory of God.
