Expect Mercy

 Romans 9:15

You get what you expect.

What we expect in our lives matters.

Jesus left an instruction for His followers to tarry in Jerusalem until they are endued with power from on high.

Luke 24:49

It's only 120 people who expected the enduement with power Jesus spoke about that remained in the upper room.

God honored their waiting, God honored their expectation.

According to Biblical scholars there were 500 people waiting in the upper room in Jerusalem, with the passage of time they reduced from 500 to 120.

This means 380 people missed out on the day of Pentecost.

They missed out on the promise of Jesus, they missed out on the fulfillment of prophecy, they missed out on being part of history, they missed out on being part of what is believed to be the birth of the church, they missed out on the supernatural.

The 120 who tarried until the promise of Jesus was fulfilled are those who kept their expectation alive.

They endured and waited until their expectation of Jesus's promise was fulfilled.

Be like the 120 not the 380.

What has God told you, are you still expecting it?

Many people lose hope, they stop expecting because things didn't happen within their time frame.

Keep your expectation alive.

Romans 8:19

The 120 who remained until the "sudden" manifestation  of God's Spirit encountered the mercy of God, the power of God, the hand of God, the glory of God.

Acts 2:1-4

What are you expecting?

Are you expecting things to go wrong or are you expecting things to go right?

Are you expecting to sink in life or do you expect the boat of your life to sail to it's destination successfully?

Are you expecting to fail or do you expect that you will succeed?

Are you expecting God's mercy for your matter or do you expect God to forsake you?

Are you expecting the suddenly of God in your life's issues?

Do you expect your life's story to change for the better suddenly?

Our expectations can work like magnets.

Your expectation is part of your faith

Expect the supernatural.

Expect the blessing of God.

Expect the glory of God.

Expect the salvation of your family and loved ones.

Expect the intervention of God.

Expect a divine turnaround.

Expect the fulfillment of God's prophecy to you.

Expect mercy.

Philippians 1:20

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
