FAITH CAPSULE: Mark and seal of God deliver.
Isaiah 5
The work of God is by His word.
Isaiah 5:12 records, “…But they do not regard the work of the LORD, nor consider the operation of His hands.”
One that disregards the word of God does not regard God but rebels against God consciously or unconsciously, the evidence of not knowing God and not considering God.
One that does not regard God is as one that is laden (loaded) with iniquity (sin, evildoers).
Not to regard God is forsaken God and will provoke God for one to become backward.
Pray against backwardness not to be your portion.
Get to know God and gain the knowledge to be having an edge in your ways of life.
One with the lack of knowledge is one the way of captivity.
Isaiah 5:13 confirms, “Therefore my people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished (wanting, lacking), and their multitude dried up with thirst.”
One that knows to give self to the work of God will not be a victim of captivity.
Walking in line with the word of God is giving regard to God to gain the deliverance and protection of God.
Through the pages of the Bible, God orders to mark and seal upon those that walk with Him not to be a victim of evil occurrence.
Ezekiel 9:4 records, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
Give regard to God, crying out against the wicked world, and God will mark you for deliverance and preservation.
Mark of God is also the seal of God, commanded by God to be placed upon ones He set aside for deliverance and preservation.
Revelation 7:2-3 records, “Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
Also, God commands in Revelation 9:4 for seal, “They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.”
God is aware of ones with His seal to be sealed not to become a victim of captivity.
His word will not return void to Him. God promises all to remind Him as Isaiah 43:26 records, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.”
Give regard to the word of God, and know to remind God of claiming His word of promise for deliverance.
Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to mark you and seal you for your deliverance against destruction.
