FAITH CAPSULE: Know that His word shall come to pass; wait and watch for the manifestation of His word.

Genesis 6, Matthew 25:1-13,

It is written, “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.” (Genesis 6:11-12) God decided to destroy with flood because of the wickedness of man. As a result God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will
destroy them with the earth.  Make yourself an ark of gopherwood…” (Genesis 6:13-14) For man it is unimaginable to have the earth flooded in a region where it hardly rains in the period of a year. Thank God He is not a man but the Almighty creator. Noah could have ignored, doubted or procrastinated and not fully engaged full obedience of God’s command. Noah engaged fully as commanded by God. Just as God said, it rained and flooded enough to destroy every living on earth.
Are you paying attention to the truth that Jesus is coming back to judge the whole earth just like Noah’s time when God brought judgment? It also sounds incredible to believe; it has been over two thousand years; many have predicted the end with nothing happened. One thing is certain and that is the word of God. Isaiah 55:11 buttress, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” His word was authentic in the time of Noah and His word is still the same today.
Are you sleeping over the unfailing word of God and not watching?
A believer that is often asleep is constantly at risk of missing His word. Jesus gave the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins which depicts the importance of waiting and watching over the manifestation of God’s word. The ten virgins were all purposeful in their agenda. They all went out to meet the bridegroom. Matthew 25:3-5, “Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.” Having gone far in their pursuit to enter with the bridegroom, sleeping should have been avoided by engaging watching and waiting. They fell asleep and foolishness became their identity. How are you waiting? Can you tell if and when your oil is running out? You have come too far in this journey to begin to entertain foolishness.
Know that His world shall come to pass; do not be ignorant; wait and watch for the manifestation of His word.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of waiting and not sleep over the word of God.
