FAITH CAPSULE:A failure to build on the word of God will cause any other building to fail.

Joshua 1 
 
The word of God that’s released is what will build every believer who cares to hear and obey. Believers that want to be built up have to be continual and unfailing in obeying the word of God. Meditation is what makes obeying and doing what the word commands. Joshua 1:8, “This book of law shall not depart your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”With meditation, one will be in position to be able to observe and do according to the word. A failure to build on the word of God will cause any other building to fail. When Noah received the commanding word of God, he moved forward to build up on the word and was able to stand against the flood of destruction. What are you doing with the word of His grace that is sounding in your direction? What are you doing with word of God which is able to build you? Are you entering into the word of God by letting the word into your life? If you will allow the word to gain entrance in your life, it will give you your inheritance among those that are sanctified. Being among the sanctified is to be among those that are separated to the Commanding commander; the only One that reverses the irreversible. The process of building can be challenging and sometimes intimidating. It’s unimaginable the type of mockery that Noah endured when building an ark in a region where there’s hardly any rainfall. As a believer that has entered into the word of God, behaving the word of God will not have its way without mockery, intimidation or persecution by the world that does not know God. During the process of building, Noah was calling attention to the people to build up, but they were busy in attending to build up in the world. Just as it was in the time of Noah so it is today. Regardless of any kind of mockery, intimidation or persecution, you should not be ashamed of the gospel. Apostle Paul, having been through all kinds of trials, knew what it would be involved when he declared in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” The Word of God is God and His word is life. If you will receive the word you will have the right to become the children of God (John 1:12). It is absolutely impossible to hear the word of His grace and continue to doubt Him.
