TODAY’S TOPIC: Great expectations
Text: Matthew 11:1 (NIV Bible)
"11:1 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.
11:2 When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples
11:3 to ask him, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?"
11:4 Jesus replied, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
11:5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
11:6 Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me."
*SHOWER:*
Brethren, expectations are high when we embrace Jesus. Like leaders all over the world, people intend to look various ways to see if there are new things happening around you; especially those worth benefitting from. When they fail to see one they will start asking questions. That is to tell you that the world know that once you're in Christ, you're bound to receive miracles, open doors, forgiving spirit and others. This is what prompted John to send his disciples to find out if this 'man' is actually Jesus Christ or should he expect another. He believes that if is Jesus he should have set him free from the prison.
*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*
O God, I thank You for new life and open doors. Draw me closer and empower me to be a shining star in Jesus name, Amen!
*1. I'm in Christ Jesus. I will be a shining star to give light to people.*
*2. God has perfected every plan concerning me. People will surely look at me, my family and around me and testify of God's goodness.*
*3. I hereby decree and declare that all my unaswered prayers shall become answered prayers henceforth in Jesus name, Amen.*
