DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES TUESDAY 19 JANUARY, 2021.
Topic: Get Your Hopes Up
Today’s Scripture: Galatians 5:5, (NIV) “For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.”
Massage: What are you expecting in life—good things? Big things? Little things? Anything at all? God wants you to get your hopes up! The Bible says, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for.” One definition of hope is confident expectancy. Did you know that you can’t even have faith if you don’t first have hope?
Your expectations set the limits for your life. If you never expect anything good, you’re never going to receive anything good. If you don’t expect things to get better, then nothing will get better. God promises to meet you at your level of expectancy. Jesus in Matthew 9:29 said: *”According to your faith be it done to you.”* One translation simply says, *”Have what your faith expects.”* Make the decision to expect the favour of God in your life! Start expecting to overcome every challenge you face! Start expecting God to meet all of your needs! Live every day of your life filled with anticipation that God is going to bless you exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond your wildest dreams! The greatest of all expectations that you should put at the top of your mind is second coming of our Lord Jesus – the RAPTURE!
Prayer for Today: God, I want to grow in my faith in this year 2021. I believe that You want the best for me. Help me learn to expect to be blessed and to face challenges with the confidence that You will see me through. In Jesus’ name – Amen.
PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS: You always become products of your thoughts. That’s why Jesus said “It shall be unto you according to your faith”. The Book of Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV) says: “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he … ” As from today, you shall receive GRACE to think big, achieve big, live holy and righteous life that will prepare and make you ready for the second coming of our Lord Jesus. Living hope that produces tangible faith shall not depart from your life. You shall receive gift of tangible faith that will make you live victorious life here on earth. On the last day, the same faith shall also lead you to heavenly home where you will enjoy eternity with your creator in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
