FAITH CAPSULE: Some words on my mind as it is.
Jeremiah 12
THE WORD OF GOD IS A MIRROR
Just as you behold yourself in the mirror to dress or re-address yourself in your going out and coming in, begin to behold yourself in the word of God as a MIRROR, to address you with direction, to be walking, sitting and standing in God’s word.
Beholding yourself in the word of God as a mirror will provoke the blessings of God upon your life.
Psalm 1:1 buttress, “Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful.”
The word of God is like a mirror to behold continually!
ARE YOU A WICKED ONE?
Many are conversant with the word of God by quoting the word of God but far and not connected with God.
Does that sound like you?
Many are coming up with stories claiming about God, not know God but only know about God.
Does that speak about you?
Many are with the word of God in the head but with no word of God in the heart.
That sounds like the wicked one.
Jeremiah’s word before God in Jeremiah 12:1-2 identifies wicked, “Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth But far from their mind.”
Are you the wicked one?
Search your heart by giving yourself to David’s Psalm 139:23, ask God, “Search me, O God, and know my heart…”
Come out of self-deception!
THE UNBELIEVING BELIEVERS
Who are you?
The word of God that is true is irrelevant and not count to unbelieving believers. John 8:31-32 counsels, “…If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Unbelieving believers abide in the WORLD, not abiding in God’s WORD.
You are exposed to the world, thinking you are FREE but not FREE. The identity of unbelieving believers is lies, deception, and manipulation.
Who are you?
Unbelieving believers should know that God is not asleep!
LIVE LIFE FOR GOD TO CLAIM HIS PROMISE
To claim the blessings of God is living life by God’s conditions.
Abram, a friend of God, had no exception from living by God’s condition before claiming the promise of God. Genesis 17:1-2 records, “…the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
Are you walking in the WORLD, deceiving yourself to be walking in the word?
God cannot be deceived!
Prayer for today: Ask from God to live life for His glory.
