Miracles producing expectations
Memorise: Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
Having expectations depends on many variables
particularly if we are talking about having expectations of God. One of these
variables is the promise. If God has made you a promise, then you have the
right to expect that the promise will be fulfilled. In Genesis 8:22, the
Almighty God made a promise. It is based on this promise that the expectation
of a farmer rests. He said as long as the earth remains, seed time and harvest
shall never cease. This promise of God is the basis on which a farmer planting
a seed expects that there will be a harvest. Another variable which
expectations depend upon is the integrity of the one giving the promise. If you
are dealing with a man who doesn’t keep his promises, you don’t expect anything from him. If you are dealing
with a man who in the past said “ I am going to the right” and you discovered
he want to the left, the next time he says “ I am coming”, you will know he is
going. Thank God that Numbers 23:19 says clearly that our God is not a man that
He should lie. Once He makes a promise, you can go to bed knowing it will be
fulfilled. The resources and ability of the one who has made a promise is
another foundation upon which an expectation depends. There was a time I
visited my village and a little boy ran to me asking for a pair of shoes for
Christmas. I promised to buy him one. The young boy started spreading the news
that he would soon own a brand new pair of shoes. His mates did not believe him
until he told them that it was “Lagos
Daddy” (as I was being called then) that promised him a pair of shoes. The
reason bring that, apart from the fact that they all knew that whatever “Daddy
from Lagos” promised to do he would do; they also knew that God had blessed him
with the wherewithal to keep his promises.
In our Bible reading for today, the woman with the
issue of blood had a miracle-producing expectation. This woman sought Jesus
Christ with great expectation and she got what she wanted –a miracle of
healing. It is unfortunate that many people go to the presence of God without
an iota of expectation, whereas the Bible is Isaiah 45:19 says:
“I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the
earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, seek ye me in vain:”
I want to encourage you to begin to seek and trust the
miracle-working God with great expectations for salvations healing and
astonishing breakthrough. I prophesy to your life that the mouth-opening
miracle you have been expecting will come your way this season in Jesus Name.
Prayer point
Father, my expectations is to have
blessings that will overflow unto many nations; please bring this to fulfilment
in the Name of Jesus.
