FAITH CAPSULE: Meditate on the following four points to experience the move of God.
Psalm 1, 4
Meditating the word of God is continual communication with God or locating God in His living word.
The quotes rooted in the word of God are to occupy the mind for meditating before God, knowing that God will deliver.
Meditate following four points:
LIVE LIFE FOR GOD, NOT FOR YOURSELF
The character of a selfish-minded one is to know to do good but not do good.
Such selfish-minded will do good except only in exchange for self-need as an exploiter in the life of others.
One with the character of a selfish mind is of sin before God.
James 4:17 confirms a selfish mind, “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” Who are you before God? Are you living life outside of the word of God?
Search self, live life, not for self, but to the glory of God.
ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN AS PROMISED BY THE LIVING WORD OF GOD
Asking is what the unfailing word of God requests from all that know to ask.
Continually, ask for the living Word of God to locate you, to gain entrance into your life, and silence the spirit of unbelieving in your life.
Ask God to enable you to live life prayerfully by His word.
Psalm 72:15 admonishes, “…Prayer also will be made for Him continually, and daily He shall be praised.”
Apostle Paul instructs in Acts 6:4, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Know to pray because evil is continual!
LISTEN TO GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD OF GOD
One that listens will understand the word of God to live life victoriously, to the glory of God.
If you can listen, understanding will enable you to see, to receive, and what you receive in the word of God will become of you.
When there is no listening, there will be no understanding.
The word of Jesus in John 8:43 rhetorically questioned and answered, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
Begin to listen enough to gain the understanding to be able to see and receive the word.
SEE IN THE WORD OF GOD
Jericho, with the wall, was an attempt to deny Isreal from arriving at the Promise Land.
However, Joshua could see in the spoken word of God.
By seeing in the word of God, the Israelites gain victory over Jericho.
God said, “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” (Joshua 6:2)
Jeremiah saw in the word of God: “See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:10)
Begin to listen with understanding, see to receive in the word of God.
Prayer for today: Ask that the word of God will stay in your heart to establish you in the presence of God.
