MESSAGE

The nature of our expectations from

God directly depends on His

promises to us. Some promises of

God may sound incredible, but He is

always committed to bringing them

to pass. If your expectation does not

agree with His promises, you may

forfeit its fulfilment. Our God is good

and gracious. He does many things

to prove His divine power. There are

times when God unravels some

mysteries to make us believe and

know absolutely that His plan and

purpose for us cannot be compared

to our current struggles and toils.

This is why every child of God must

pray the kingdom of God into their

life (Matthew 6:10). When you make

such prayers, you are saying to God:

“Let there be no difference between

your promises for me and the

situation of my life.”.

God has special and specific

promises for the righteous alone.

These promises are great, and they

transcend the condition of any

national economy. Righteousness is

the only key that ensures the

enjoyment of God’s blessings in this

world, with the guarantee of making

heaven. When the kingdom of God

comes and His will is done on earth,

then there will be no defeat, failure,

sickness, lack, regret or

hopelessness. The scripture does not

say that the will of God will be done

for everybody. It says it will be well

with the righteous (Isaiah 3:10).

That is to say, only those who are

doing the will and the pleasures of

God will enjoy His blessings.

“Thy Kingdom come” is a desperate

call by someone in need of change.

It is a cry for hope in the midst of

hopelessness, a cry for healing in

the midst of sicknesses and a cry for

deliverance in the midst of bondage.

It is a deep cry seeking for the

intervention of Heaven when earth

has failed. Have you been in the

bondage of debt for some time? That

shame is removed now in Jesus’

Name. Do you know that your time of

favour is coming? It is just around

the corner. God will remember you

and make you overtake those who

have earlier gone ahead of you.

Once you forsake the government of

self and that of the devil; God will

begin to administer the affairs of

your life. You will then realise that

there is no challenge or difficulty

too great or too bad for God to fix.

As you thirst after His Kingdom, He

gives you permanent victory and

your life begins to reflect His

original plans and purpose in every

area. God’s power is supreme. His

power cannot be compared or

equated with any other power. That

is why I am sure that every power

working against the fulfilment of

God’s will in your life here on earth

shall be consumed by the fire of the

Holy Spirit.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, let your kingdom come in my

life, and let your will be done in all

of my ways.
