TAKE ME BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS OH LORD (15)

Post date: Aug 22, 2019 3:45:45 AM

There are things in your life that had been predicted to happen and must happen according to the word and promises of God to you and there are things that had not been predicted to happen but must come to pass in your life according to the love and plans and destiny of God prepared for your life. Some of these things you have known, heard, have seen, and is expecting to happen soon. God is still active in your life and in the things He had prepared for and He is still carrying out those plans, and He will complete what He had planned, what He had started, and what He alone can and will do without relenting. This is what God predicted to Abraham concerning his life, his future, and the future of all his children.

“After these things happened, the Lord spoke his word to Abram in a vision, Abram, don’t be afraid. I will defend, be a shield to you, and I will give you a great reward, your reward will be great. But Abram said, Lord God what can you give me? I have no son, am childless, so my slave Eliezer from Damascus will get everything I own after I die. Abram said, look, you have given me no son, so a slave born in my house will inherit everything I have. Then the Lord spoke His word to Abram, he will not be the one to inherit what you have. You will have a son of your own who will inherit what you have. Then God led Abram outside and said, look at the sky, there are so many stars you cannot count them. Your descendants also will be too many to count. Abram believed, put his trust and faith in the Lord. And the Lord accepted Abram’s faith, and that faith made him right with God. God said to Abram, I am the Lord who led you out of Ur of Babylonia so that I could give you this land to own as a possession. But Abram said, Lord God, how can I be sure that I will own this land, possess and inherit it? The Lord said to Abram, bring me a three-year-old cow, a three-year-old goat, a three-year-old male sheep, a dove, and a young pigeon.” Genesis 15:1-9

God told Abraham about blessing him beyond his expectations and preparations in life; God told him about his children and how they will multiply in number and increase in the future, how they will possess and inherit a land that they do not know and all these things happened even when Abraham was still childless, did not know things concerning himself and his future. These things that God told him were known to him thereafter but there were things God never told him and he never knew and never thought will happen, yet God had a plan for him which He did not tell him and did not open them up to anyone until the day and time He started performing them before people and the world. God promised He will do beyond expectation, the words God used were, don’t be afraid, that means there will be things that will make you fearful. I will defend you, that means you will sometimes feel defenseless when challenges come; I will be a shield to you, that means you will sometimes feel vulnerable when challenged; I will give you a great reward and your reward will be great, that means do not relent in following, believing, trusting, and having faith, the reward you expect will definitely come they will be great beyond what you expect and beyond what you have ever seen in others. When Abraham told God he was childless despite His promise and gave God alternative saying my slave Eliezer from Damascus will get everything I own after I die. God in response said to Abraham Eliezer will not be the one to inherit what you have, God affirm His promise to Abraham again despite the delay saying, you will have a son of your own who will inherit what you have and God took him out to the open to show him how things will be, and but He did not tell him how He will do it but He will definitely do it the way He wants and had planned. And God led Abram outside and said, look at the sky, there are so many stars you cannot count them. Your descendants also will be too many to count and Abraham believed God even when he was still childrenless and did not know how that will come to be. God in His love will fulfill His plans for your life. Prayer Request Click here
