OUTLINE
Today, I am going to share with you certain deep secrets. You will learn what it takes to become a champion. Problems are common to man. The fact that there are problems does not mean that you will never make it. No matter what happens to you or around you, you will overcome. Your story will change.
However, you must not allow the enemy to rob you of your positive expectations. The moment you loose your faith you have lost everything.Problems are sometimes the staircase to a better place. Expectation is a weapon of victory. Expectation is a fertilizer of breakthrough. Expectation is a breeding ground for breakthrough, testimonies and miracles. Miracles usually happen when there is expectation.
If you are a human being and you have no expectation, then your life is not going anywhere. It is a tragedy for people to gather together and pray when they are not really expecting a miracle to take place. This was what happened in Act 12; they had only one prayer point “O God, release Peter”, they were praying the prayer point but Peter was at the door knocking. If Peter was to rely on the prayer of that group, Peter would never have come out.
It is sad but true that many people have no expectation in life. No wonder so many people are not moving forward. They expected nothing, so they didn’t get anything. Unlike that woman who said in her heart, “If only I can touch the hem of His garment, I shall be made whole.” She had an expectation. It’s easy to know those who come to services without any expectation, you don’t need to be a prophet to know them. They approach the service sluggishly; they are not in a hurry to get to their seats; they don’t have this joy of “I’m going to the presence of the Lord.”
They walk casually to the presence of God; they come to the service with no Bible, no hymn book, nothing! They look disinterested and disconnected. During service, they hardly smile, sing or dance or write down anything from the ministration. They don’t partake of most things that people do. They are spectators, instead of participating.
Remember, your expectation is from God so, wait on him. Keep your eyes on the master. Do not allow your faith to waver. No matter what has happened, keep the flag of faith flying. God will surprise you. You shall prevail.
Motivational Quote
When God puts in a word for you, you will experience victory in the human court and things will fall into pleasant places.
Prophetic Word
Every yoke of disturbance, let the yoke be broken in the name of Jesus.
MFM Daily Devotional 29 July 2020 HYMN – Jesus, lover of my soul
1. Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly.
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high!
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide,
O receive my soul at last!
2. Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, ah, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me!
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With shadow of Thy wing.
3. Thou, O Christ, art all I want,
More than all in Thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
False and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.
4. Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep me pure within
Thou of life the Fountain art,
Freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.
– Rev. Charles Wesley
