FAITH CAPSULE: Where is your step taking you?
Jeremiah 12
From this hour, your step shall be ordered by God to become established.
In life, how one takes steps that will determine where such lands
to settle in life.
What kind of steps are you taking before God?
What one gives into life is what to get back from life.
Prayerfully, watch your steps, and know that God oversees the affairs of man.
God is not the author of suffering but a longsuffering God.
Psalm 86:15 testifies, “But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.”
PRAYER
Ask that from this hour, God order your steps in all your going and all your coming.
Ask that you shall not fall, fail or falter in every step.
Ask that you shall not be a victim of evil in your going and coming.
In your step, be a believer that does not live as a hypocrite.
The life of hypocrites is not good.
Are you a believer that seeks God with the expectation of finding God in your step?
To find God:
Seeking God with the character of seeking God in your way consciously or unconsciously will not find God.
One seeking God, impressing man, not God, will not find God, and God will say to such, “I do not know you.”
God calls for a way to seek 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.”
One that is not doing according to the word of God is not seeking God diligently.
Living by the word of God is seeking God diligently to find God.
Seek God diligently is seeking Him with all heart and all soul.
The pages of the Bible identifies about seeking God diligently.
A hypocrite is not of God.
A hypocrite is the identity of the wicked one.
Jesus identifies the hypocrite, “Hypocrites! Well, did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me…” (Matthew 15:7-8)
Jeremiah 12:1-2 states, “Why does the way of the wicked prosper? You have planted them, yes they have taken root;
They grow, yes they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth But far from their mind. Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?”
Are you a hypocrite, a pretender believer?
A hypocrite is one whose walk and talk do not match, who knows about the word but does not practice it.
What one possesses and not professed such is worshipping God in vain.
Strive not to miss before God.
PRAYER:
Ask that the spirit of answering as a believer but living outside of God, as a pretender believer, shall not have a place in your life.
Ask you shall not be a hypocrite, a wicked one in life, and not live a life of waste.
