From scriptural principles, before the believer can experience anything, he must have expectation for it. What the believer does not expect never come to pass, this is a fundamental principle of the kingdom Pro. 23:18. This means, one way to make a thing happen is to have a living expectation of it.

What is the Power in Expectation that Guarantee Testimony?

1. Expectation is faith in expression.

From scriptures, we understand that faith is the substance of things hoped, the evidence of things not seen Heb. 11:1. “Things hoped” and “Things not seen” refer to expectation. In essence, expectation is the expression of faith that is alive. Faith is a covenant force that can bring anything into reality Heb. 11:3.

2. God’s kingdom to which we belong is ordained a dreamer’s world.

God’s kingdom is ordained to deliver to the believer as far as his eyes can see, which refers to his expectation Gen. 13:14-15. The clearer one sees, the better and faster he takes delivery Jer. 1:11-12.

3. Expectation is the access to his rights.

Remember, the believer by covenant has the right to everything that makes for life and godliness 2Pet. 1:3. Also, redemption entitles the believer to all things in life Rms. 8:32. Nonetheless, the access to all of these in reality is by the expectation of each believer Pro. 27:13.

4. Expectation is the biblical wisdom for all of God’s manifestation in our lives.

The bible’s prescription to the believer for him to experience God’s manifestation is to have a living expectation Pro. 24:13-14. For instance, Abraham expected Isaac, God stepped in and Isaac came against all odds Gen. 21:1-6; Rms. 4:16-21. Nehemiah expected the walls of Jerusalem to be rebuilt, od showed up to make it happen against all odds Neh. 1-6.

5. Expectation creates a future that is guaranteed.

Every biblical picture the believer sees concerning the future, which is what we refer to as a living expectation, is as valid as any heavenly vision Isa. 29:11-12; Acts 26:19. In essence, believer’s expectation created a future that has absolute guarantee of coming to pass.

To anyone reading this that will love to give his/her life to Christ, pray this prayer out loud with me from your heart: “Lord Jesus, I surrender my life to you today. Forgive me my sins; wash me with your blood. I believe you died for me, on the third day you rose again that I may be justified. Right now, I believe that my sins are forgiven; I’m justified by your blood; I’m born-again; I’m saved; I’m a child of God; I’m free from the power of sin to serve the living God. Thank you, Jesus, for receiving me; thank you Jesus for restoring me; thank you Jesus for saving me. Amen!”

Prayer.
