FAITH CAPSULE: What are you giving yourself to in this wicked world? 

John 1:1-18, Luke 19:1-10
John 5:38 records, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” 
John 1:1 state, “But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.” 
“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)
The above verses encourage all to give themselves to seeking the word of God as an unfailing source of encouragement in this wicked world of darkness. 
Jesus is the living word of God. 
Give yourself to the word of God, light for getting rid of darkness. 
John 1:4-5 encourages, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
What are you giving yourself to in this wicked world? 
Know to give self into the word of God, the truth of freedom. 
John 8:32 buttresses, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 
Jesus, the word of God is the truth, and He confirms, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life…” (John 14:6) 
Seek the truth; to know the truth and give yourself to live by the truth.
Give yourself to the word of God, and allow the word to be your motivator as you seek Him diligently because those who seek Him will find Him. 
Zacchaeus is the evidence of one that seeks God diligently and knows that God is faithful to answer.
Zacchaeus sought Jesus, and Jesus located him and ended up visiting Zacchaeus in his house. 
Zacchaeus was a tax collector.
Zacchaeus was a rich one with a crowd as a factor that could deny him because he was short in stature. 
Despite all the factors that could deny him, he was encouraged to seek Jesus as he ran ahead of the crowd. 
After running ahead of the crowd, he climbed the tree. 
Jesus, who sees saw Zacchaeus. 
Luke 19:5 records, “And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”  
Be encouraged!
Are you experiencing invincible hindrances? 
Any unexpected challenges? 
Be encouraged in the word of God. 
God has not forgotten you, He never sleeps nor slumbers, but He will gain honor in His deliverance plan for your life. 
Allow His word to gain entrance into your life for a breakthrough miracle. Above all, you shall possess your possession.  
Allow the word to be your motivator as you seek Him diligently because those who seek Him will find Him.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to know and be encouraged in the word.
