FAITH CAPSULE: What are you thinking or asking?
Proverb 4
It is not rocket science to know that what you are thinking or asking will match what you are experiencing or what you are going to experience in life.
In your heart, what are you thinking or asking that is related to the issues of life?
How you take charge of your heart will lead you through the issues of life. The word of God in Proverb 4:23 warns, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.”
Are you keeping your heart to deliver you from thinking right, or asking wrongly?
What is the condition of your heart to determine what you are thinking or asking?
Luke 6:45 admonishes, “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.”
Give self to the word of God, not just for memorization for declaration of the word of God, but for meditation as decoration to navigate without falling in the issues of life.
What are you thinking or asking that you speak out before God?
On the journey of the Israelites to the Promised Land, their thinking and asking were negative. God heard the Israelites, and they became terminated not to arrive at the Promised Land.
Numbers 14:28 records and responded to the negative confession of the Israelites, “…As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you.”
There is no excuse to be asking with an error before God.
Ecclesiastes 5:6 warns against excuse for error, “Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?”
As an acclaimed believer, you should know the truth (John 8:32) not to count on error, but to keep heart diligent from thinking or saying what is wrong in the hearing of God.
As an acclaimed believer, get to know that the power of God that you carry will not fail to answer to your thinking or what you are asking. Ephesians 3:20 states, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”
In life, nothing is hidden from God and is the reason why thinking or asking, becomes a confession that is negative or positive.
By your thinking or asking, avoid negative confession, be positive, God is hearing!
Prayer for today: Ask from God to enable His word to abundantly occupy your heart, not to become a victim of negative confession, in thinking, and asking before God.
