The God we serve is unchangeable in nature, in action, in power, in faithfulness, and in love but He can, He has, and He will change all things and all situations irrespective of its nature, power, duration, and location. His words will not change, His covenant will not change, His promises will not change, but you will change, and will be changed for good. Your situation will change, your fears will change; your knowledge will change, your location will change and your position will change. Power will change and men will change. The wickedness against you will change; the evil that hinders and frustrates you will change; the things that weaken you and renders you lonely, shameful and single will change. The things that makes you isolated from others and sick will change, the things that frustrate your dreams and godly desires will change; the things that limit you from growing into what God wants for you will change; the things that limit your joy will change and the things that had been responsible for keeping from moving forward, fulfilling the plans of God for your life will change, and the change will be permanent through the power of Christ Jesus working in you.

The change God is bringing into your life will be irreversible, no kind of affliction effect or limit it, the works and desires of the wicked will not affect it; God will sustain you and you will, by the power of God through Christ Jesus move from your present situation; move from where you are now to where you should be according to His plans and be an instrument of praise and honor to Him uplifting His name with joy. “I the Lord do not change. So you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed and consumed. Since the times and the days of your ancestors, you have disobeyed, turned away from my rules and commands and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord Almighty.” Malachi 3:6-7

Expectations are important to living and it is important to all human being irrespective of their status in the society, their powers, their wealth, their office, their positions, and their authority. Hope is living in, and with expectation, while faith in God is trusting in those expectations from a reliable, trusted and dependable sources. In Christianity, it is faith in the Almighty God alone, it is expectations from His unfailing word and promises, and it is depending on His unchanging grace, enabling power and unchanging love. “Faith means being sure, the assurance, the tangible reality, the sure foundation of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it, or have the conviction or evidence about things not seen. Faith is the reason we remember great people who lived in the past, the people of old. Therefore, since we are surrounded by a great cloud of people whose lives tell us what faith means, let us run the race that is before us and never give up with endurance and perseverance. We should remove from our lives, get rid of, cast aside anything that would get in the way to impede or hinder us and the sin that so easily holds us back. Let us look only to, keep our eyes on Jesus, the One who began, the Pioneer, the Founder of and Leader of our faith and who makes it perfect and complete. He suffered death on the Cross, accepting the shame as if it were nothing, disregarding and despising the shame because of the joy that God put before and ahead for him. And now He is sitting at the right side of God’s throne. Think about Jesus who endured such hostility and opposition from sinful people, so that you will not get tired, grow weary, get discouraged and stop trying and give up. Hebrews 11:1-2; 12:1-3

There are great testimonies of God taking people beyond their dreams and expectations, taking them beyond their afflictions and pains; taking them beyond their sorrows and anger, taking them beyond loneliness and shame, and it is your time to begin experiencing beyond the expectations testimonies. Enjoy serving the Lord, and He will give you what you want. Depend on the Lord, have confidence in Him and He will take care of you. Prayer Request Click here
