FAITH CAPSULE: The expectation for manifestation is the identity of one with an understanding of God.
Psalm 14, 47
The evidence of living life to the glory of God is your spiritual empowerment, which is the place of watching and praying.
What is the place of watching and praying to rule your world?
The place of watching and praying is to:
Pray with understanding.
Pray continually.
Pray with understanding:
Praying with understanding is seeking God to find Him.
The word of God specifically admonishes for understanding when seeking God. Psalm 47:7 records, “For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with understanding.”
Just as praising God demands to understand, praying or thanking also demands to understand.
Jesus at the time of His parables, He wanted to know if there is understanding saying, “…Are you also still without understanding?” (Matthew 15:16)
The importance of having an understanding is the reason that “The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.” (Psalm 14:2)
Are you praying with understanding to know that your prayer is not wasting your time but it is your time of waiting on God that waits to act for those who wait on Him?
Pray continually:
One with the exception that prays to God continually.
Psalm 72:15 records, “…Prayer also will be made for Him continually, and daily He shall be praised.” The word of God that speaks to one, speaks to all and God should be praised continually.
Praying to God continually is a sacrifice that demands giving self to God without excuse for not praying continually. Acts 6:4 records, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Are you engaging in prayer continually with mindful of God, to find God?
Are you watching and praying with expectation for manifestation?
Having expectations for manifestation is the evidence of having faith.
In your watching and praying, let your faith for expectation and manifestation be activated, to provoke the move of God for your favor.
Expect for manifestation:
Jesus, in His word, did not command all to pray but repeatedly command all to watch and pray. The Bible records, “Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41)
“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.” (Mark 13:33)
Watch, therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36)
Disciples of Jesus request from all to watch and pray in Ephesians 6:18, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.”
“But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers.” (1 Peters 4:7)
The expectation for manifestation is the evidence of those who watch and pray, as commanded in the word of God, for all man.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of seeking God with understanding.
