God is at Work in us, Increase our expectations. Aug2021
For it is God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 AMP.
God is strengthening, energizing and creating the environment for us, to understand, know, fully recognise that the Lord Himself is God, who has made us, we are His people and sheep of His pasture.Elisha recognized Elijah, as chariot and horsemen of Israel, by asking for a double portion of Spirit upon him, for the right to be regarded as the successor of Elijah; Even though Elijah said that it was the hard thing, Nevertheless, he said, if you see me when I am taken, it shall be so, if not it shall not be. Elisha did see his master, received double portion, established great ministry exactly as twice as Elijah. Amen.
Let us also increase our expectations and ask big things, pray bold prayers. Let God say what we are asking is hard to get it. Will He? No never. There is nothing, no nothing is impossible to Him to fulfil. We just need to Ask, keep on asking, Seek, keep on seeking, Knock, keep on knocking, by putting our Faith in Him, by trusting His timing, by following Him no matter what.
Is it Jericho? OK to me to follow by blowing ram’s horns and carrying the ark of the covenant as a sign of God’s presence, to expect an astonishing miracle from above.
Is it Jordan? - Others are going in different direction, standing afar, river is flowing in full?; But still let's expect a sign from the Lord, He will part the waters of the Jordan, just as He had parted the Red Sea in Egypt.
is there a desert on the way? or dry situation? He is the Way maker, Miracle worker. Just Trust Him and His timings.
The Truth is that we are Work in Progress (WIP) at His purpose. In this Month, let's increase our expectations by adopting His words to let God materialise His work as per His plan. Amen.
May we walk in a manner worthy of the Lord displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity, to fully please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts, in Jesus Name, Amen. (Colossians 1:10 AMP)
Asking God to fulfil His highest purpose is a great thing to ask for. Lets Get a double portion of that. Amen
