FAITH CAPSULE: With expectation from God, there will be manifestation.
Acts 3
Do not stop looking up to God at any time. In every situation, at all times, make it consistent; be conversant to be looking up to God with expectation. Looking up to God should be an evidence of expectation for manifestation. The bible recorded about certain man lame from his mother’s womb. The lame man spends time daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful asking for alms from those who entered the temple. On a day, the lame man saw Peter and John about to go into the temple while asking with expectation when Peter called on him. It is written, “And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.” (Acts 3:4) Will you make it a way of life to be looking up to God with expectation for manifestation? God is not a talkative when He gave us word of authority stating, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?” (Matthew 7:7-9) Ask, seek and knock is what He said but not we may ask, seek of knock.
There is nothing that is difficult for God to do. Isaiah 59:1 buttressed, “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.” What is your challenge which God cannot see you through? God is a faithful God, through the pages of the bible, the word of God is a testimony that God is a caring God and He will wait to act for man that wait on Him by looking up to Him. The Psalmist testified in Psalm 121:1-4, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” An acclaimed believer that is conversant with Psalm 121 should obviously know about looking or lifting up eyes to gain from God. Look up to God for breakthrough and not be a victim of breakdown.
It is wisdom to be taking to God’s testimonies. Do not look up to man for manifestation because the help from man will not go far. The testimony of the Lord is sure making the wise simple (Psalm 19:7) Take to the testimonies of God and allow looking up to God become your lifestyle.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of lifestyle to be looking up to Him.
