FAITH CAPSULE: In this wicked world, many are with title but not task-full for God.

1 John 4

The truth behind man’s words that does not fall to the ground is the evidence of Lord being with man. Many are taking title as prophet, apostle but all or most of their words always fall to the ground. Despite words falling on the ground, man is still taking to many prophets or apostles’ word instead of seeking God for His word which does not fall on the ground. Evidently, Samuel as prophet with word that does not fall on the ground. It is written, “So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.” (1 Samuel 3:19) With attention, are you giving self to prophets and apostles of today? It is glaring that their words are falling to the ground, but man is still seeking man? Are you aware of the kind of spirit the prophets and apostles of today are carrying? The word of God warned in 1John 4:1, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” What is it that man needs to become awake from slumber of following man in the name of God? Suffering of man is true to the fact that ignorance makes destitute of a believer.
Documentation about testified that the Lord was with Samuel. 1 Samuel 3:19-21 “So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.  And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel had been established as a prophet of the Lord. Then the Lord appeared again in Shiloh. For the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.
First, Samuel was dedicated to God. Right after his mother weaned him, he left and grew up before God in the temple. Samuel’s dedication was not popular religious dedication of present days. Samuel’s early life was a pointer to his later life assignment before God. Samuel had task directly from God and none of his words fell to the grounds.
Secondly, Samuel was established as a prophet of the Lord. Today, self-acclaimed prophets and apostles are rampart through the face of earth with titles with no task before God. Samuel did not answered title but had task before God, for the glory of God.
Thirdly, Samuel could not trade off his Shiloh beginning calling, and God revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by His word. Many prophets of today have traded their beginning calling by God with distance location from God. Distance from God is a position of missing God’s revelation.
In this wicked world, many are with title but not task-full for God. Watch it, identity of many with title are: lying, deception and manipulation. It is the hour of time for all man to wake up and give self continually to God and God will not leave such without revealing Himself.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of understanding in His word and not be a victim of this wicked world.
