EXPECTATION
Luke 9:12-17

Do you lay claim on what you are expecting? Lay a claim for your blessings because God is a merciful God who cares for His children. In your expectation eliminate contamination. As you begin to expect from the hand that has been keeping you by grace and not by works, do not allow your location or situation to become an agent of contamination to your expectation. Jesus is the One who can convert our expectation into manifestation. Jesus has never been limited or delayed by any location or situation when it is time for Him to convert our expectation to manifestation. Once in a desert, despite the late hour where there was no food to feed a stranded multitude, Jesus extended His hand of provision. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He will extend His hand in any location and situation that you have found yourself in. Jesus multiplied five loaves and two fish to feed a multitude that was no less than five thousand. Before the miracle, there was a command in place that was to be activated before manifestation. Have you been following His commands? Before the miracle of the loaves and fish, Jesus gave a command in Luke 9:14-15, “For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” And they did so, and made them all sit down.”As a believer how have you positioned yourself in your expectation for the visitation of His miracle? Jesus did not do anything to the loaves and fish, until after His command to the disciples was carefully delivered and responded to by the multitude. After He observed their obedience, “Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.” (Luke 9:16-17) In obedience to His command, miracles followed in every area of their needs. The miracles became a manifestation where there was no hope for provision. There was no documentation of any struggle by the crowd, neither was there any documentation of rowdiness because they followed His command. It became a simple direction. Are you having problems following His commands? If you will obey His commands the direction of getting your expectation will become a simple one. Jesus who is the same yesterday, today and forever can perform the same miracle for you today. Taking a seat of obedience will bring forth your abundance. Claim your blessings because He has come that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly (John 10:10).

Prayer for today: Ask God to direct your heart to trust on His name in every area of need in your life.
