FAITH CAPSULE: The grace and mercy of God have brought you this far.

Exodus 32

Thank God for His word that upgrades.
The word of God is in recordings to upgrade one that will give self to the word of God.
Get upgraded; be built up in the word of God. Apostle Paul encourages all in Acts 20:32, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” 
It is worthy to commit oneself to the word of God and be upgraded with continual prayer and to the ministry of the word of God.
As the new months come in, give yourself attention not to live a life of waste by:
KNOW TO WAITING ON GOD AND NOT TO WASTE
Your delay will not deny you!
Exodus 32:1 records, “Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods that shall go before us…”
The Israelites saw delay and turned to another god. 
Some delays are necessary when God is at the beginning of the journey.
Do not be discouraged.
Some delays are not failures but are to make a way.
Take note that without faith, the delay will turn quickly out of the way of the word of God that delivers. 
Allow God by taking all your delay to God in prayer. 
GIVE YOURSELF TO THE WORD OF GOD TO BUILD YOU
One full of this world cannot be hungry for the word of God. 
It is possible to fast from food, but avoid fasting from the word of God, not to become accessible to the wicked world. 
Luke 4:4 states, “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God.”
Feed on the word of God to build you, not live a life of waste.
Apostle Paul speaks to all, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” (Acts 20:32)
BEWARE THE CUNNING DEVICE OF THE DEVIL
The cunning device of the devil is an enticement to destroy anyone who falls in it. 
As strong as Samson was, his disobedience to the word of God made him a victim of the cunning enticement of the enemy. 
Samson fell for enticement from Delilah. Judges 16:5 records, “And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, ‘Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies…”  
Disobedient will position one against the deliverance of God.
Samson disobeyed the word of God, and the power that answers for obedience to the word of God for deliverance could not answered in the life of disobedient Samson.
As the year continues, the mercy of God shall continually uphold you.

Prayer for today: Ask that you give yourself to the word of God as a way of life.
