Topic: Celebrate Your Expectations [TREM Devotional 27 March 2019]
“Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. And when you go into a household, greet it. If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.” – Matthew 10:11-14 NKJV
In the above scripture, Jesus sent His disciples to the neighbouring towns and villages and told them to dwell in any place that celebrated their coming or else leave the place. The analogy from this scripture is that whatever you do not receive and celebrate will inevitably exit your life. I have come to challenge you not to allow anything make you disbelieve God. Remember He did not call you to seek Him in vain.
If you’ve ever waited on the Lord, then learn to roll out the drums and celebrate your expectations. You need to consciously celebrate that healing, that new job, that new contract, that breakthrough even when you have not seen anything yet.
Beloved, when you celebrate your expectations, you are demonstrating your faith. You are simply agreeing with all that God has packaged for you. Mary said in Luke 1:38, ‘’Be it unto me according to your word.’’ In other words, she put the responsibility of seeing the prophecy come to pass squarely on God. In addition, celebrate all that God ministered directly to your spirit. Receive the Word and stand upon it until you see it fulfilled.
In this season, you will experience a type of harvest you have never experienced before. Incredible things will happen for you. It is a new season in your life and it is a new day for you. Just be open to the Holy Spirit. He will give you instructions that will move you to the next level. I will hear your testimonies. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
