FAITH CAPSULE: Have the desire to live for God.
Psalm 27, Ecclesiastes 12
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.
See God in His word to become registered in you to live for God.
2 Timothy 2:15 speaks to all, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. “
Reading the word of God will KNOW ABOUT God.
Studying will know God.
The word of God is God. (John1:1)
In studying, there will be hearing of God, to see God in His word.
Job testifies, “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You.” (Job 42:5)
know God by His word, live obediently not to lose the rightful position in God, but to claim the promise for obedience.
Prayer for today: Ask for the strength of studying the word of God.
