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

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

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

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
