Wisdom For The Day Devotional 14 October 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Celebrate Your Expectations
TOPIC: Celebrate Your Expectations (TREM Devotional 14 October 2024)
“And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.” Matthew 10:14 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
In this account of the 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 challenge you not to allow anything to make you disbelieve God. Remember, He did not call you to seek Him in vain. Begin to celebrate your desires consciously.
Is it healing, a new job, a new contact, the fruit of the womb, or a breakthrough in any area? Begin your celebration. 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.
Celebrate God’s promises towards you from His Word and watch God flex His muscles on your behalf. The Word of God has no margin for error. It can be trusted, and you can stake your whole life on it. Believe this Word with all your heart because everything is possible for the one who believes. Be assured that God is committed to blessing you. He will fill your mouth with testimonies.
Don’t ever stop celebrating your expectations, no matter how impossible it may seem, because they will be granted. Dead things in your life are coming alive. The Covenant of Exemption from every evil will continually speak over you and your household. You will not see shame or reproach. Destruction, anarchy, and violence shall be far from your dwelling. The God who has called you to an eternal glory by Christ Jesus will perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you in all areas.
