FAITH CAPSULE: It is faith to be looking into God’s command.

Hebrews 11

To be complete in the journey of life is giving self to God’s command. Command of God is His word which is set to deliver and preserve man in life. Looking in God’s word is not to be a victim of shame for man that looks into His command. Psalm 119:6 buttressed, “Then I would not be ashamed, When I look into all Your commandments.” Looking into God’s command (word) is looking unto God for His hand. It is faith to be looking into God’s command. When command (word) of God sounds in man’s direction, man should know to obey, to dwell and wait on God’s command for manifestation at the appointed time.
All that faith described about faith is evidence in the life of Abraham.
It is written, “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” The verse confirmed Abraham’s faithful before God because he was able to obey; he dwelt and he waited on God’s command.
Obedience: When God called Abraham out from his country; his family; his father’s house to an unknown land, he obeyed fully by launching out as commanded by God. Although, there was no idea of where he was going but it was ideal for him not to question God. Abraham gave no reasonable excuse to decline the calling upon his life. Abraham obeyed God by moving from certainty to uncertain ground and abandoned his comfort zone. Indeed, Abraham “went out” just as it was mentioned in the scriptural verse above.
Dwelling: Abraham dwelt on the word of God. Living life according to God’s command is same as dwelling in the secret place of God. He did not look back but went forward as commanded by God. God’s command moved him, faith led him to a foreign country and faith caused him to dwell in tents. The word (command) of God is story to those with no understand. For ones with understanding the word of God is a secret place to dwell. Abraham dwelt in it. It was lack of understanding for Lot’s wife not to dwell in God’s command when she looked back against God’s command. (Genesis 19)
Waiting: Abraham obeyed God, he dwelt and he waited. Those who know to dwell in God’s command should also know to wait through for manifestation. It is not enough to obey by dwelling in His command and not patiently wait for the manifestation of His command. For example, King Saul obeyed by dwelling in the command through Samuel for seven days but failed to wait for Samuel when he engaged unlawful sacrifice on the seventh day. (1 Samuel 13) Engage His command fully to excel for His glory.

Payer for today: Ask for the grace of God to fully give self for His command over your life.
