WORD AND PRAYER

FAITH CAPSULE: What kind of a believer are you?

Philippians 4

The believers of the word of God are to be living the word of God.
Many are a believer by mouth, not in the way of life as a believer.
With a determination backed by a meaningful prayer, one shall become a believer in the word of God.
Besides, prayer to become a believer is also in watching.
Watching is listening.
By listening, one will gain understanding.
Rhetorically, Jesus asked and answered about understanding, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.” (John 8:43) 
With understanding, believe the word of God to gain the PEACE of God.
A meaningful PEACE of God is rooted in the word of God.
Philippians 4:7 records the promise of God, “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
WHAT KIND OF A BELIEVER ARE YOU?
*A believer is not by noise-making quoting the word of God from Genesis to Revelation (as in gaining attention) to the world.
A believer in answering to a glamorous title with no engaging task?  
Are you a believer not walking but sleeping, not a light of the world that is hidden or salt with no taste?
As a believer, pray the prayer of understanding.
Psalm 47:7 informs all to praise God with understanding the evidence of calling for engaging God in all with understanding.
Every ground of seeking God diligently to gain from God should understand as Jesus asked, and all are to pray a prayer of understanding continually.
Also, it should be the portion of a believer to give self to wisdom and knowledge.
1 Corinthians 1:30 records that Jesus is the wisdom of God for all.
One with wisdom will have an edge to be stable in a challenging world.
Isaiah 33:6 states, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
PRAYER
Ask that God enable you to know and to be listening to His word for understanding, not to become a victim of failure in every endeavor.
Ask that listening to the word of God shall be your way of living life.
Ask that God enable you with a listening ability continually.
Ask that you will not be looking before you listen, which is a spirit of assumption in every assignment.
Ask that you shall not look outside of God into looking at the world for the intervention by the world.
Ask that you become a believer occupied with the wisdom and knowledge of God to gain that stability by God in the challenging time of the world.
Ask for the mercy of God to endow you with His peace that surpasses all understanding, that you will not live a life of confusion in every move of life.
