Men and brethren, the days are getting more evil and people are getting more frustrated but God remains God and His purpose shall stand firm and very sure. Therefore, the Atmosphere of expectancy is the breeding ground of miracles. The Bible says that in the last day, the love of God among many will wax very cold. This shows that many will try to withdraw from the worship and power of God and from the truth of God’s Word; but the counsel and power of God shall stand. God is God of purpose and He ordains a purpose for everyone He has created.

Friends, to expect is to look forward to something regarding it as very likely to happen. It means anticipating the occurrence or the coming of something. It has to do with your attitude and attitude is the librarian of our past, the speaker of our present and the prophet of our future. Your attitude determines your altitude in life. And your atmosphere is closely linked to your attitude. Your atmosphere is the mood, the influence, the environment you surround yourself in. An atmosphere without expectation will kill your dreams. It destroys the hope that is within you. Atmosphere of expectation is the factor that gives supernatural backing and divine intervention to your affairs and your life.

Right where you are, the fasting programme by this commission and the daily wisdom devotional are designed to establish the purpose of God for our lives and to motivate our prosperity in the will of God. So, how do you change your atmosphere to one of expectation? You have to do what you have to do to build up your level of faith. Surround yourself with the positive, faith-filled words of God found in the Bible. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word. Also, the sacrifice of fasting, positions us to the state of a miracle expectation attitude where altitude is attained. For example, skipping dinner as instructed by our Daddy – Dr Uma Ukpai is a private discipline that provokes public reward and fame. Secondly, Fasting means turning away from pleasurable events to seek God’s face and infilling of His power. Thirdly, Fasting is investing your pleasurable right to gain God’s right. It is denying self to gain God. Number Four: Fasting is power generation to affect our generation. Number Five: Fasting means abstaining from physical influence to provoke spiritual influence. Number Six: Fasting fills you with Power and people with power don’t experience close doors. Number Seven: When fasting generates power on us as believers, we will stop negotiating with powers but to demonstrate power. Number Eight: There will not be supernatural visitation until there is supernatural inducement. Number Nine: Fasting demands giving attention to the things of God before attending to the things of the earth. Jesus said “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:21

Are you looking for the seed of the womb? Do you know that, after a convention of celebration, Hannah was mocked instead of receiving miracles she received insults. Who knows how long Hannah went through the annual routine. It could have been a couple of years, or ten or more years. Maybe she went to Shiloh out of duty. Maybe she went as a means of honoring her husband. Perhaps she simply went because it was tradition. Yet Hannah went. Don’t let daily devotion become one of the many activities without results because results cancel every insult. Thank God she later realized the importance of weeping prayer and skipping her meal to move heaven. She added a vow to change her circumstances and situations. 1 Samuel 1:1-19. The fact is that, if the Lord remembered Hannah, that same awesomely awesome God shall remember you.

Job said, “Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit” Job 10:12. To grant is to give. This means that life is a gift. You live with what you were given. The Psalmist, David said, “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1). There is no power anywhere outside God’s life. The wicked are treading in ignorance because they do not know that their life is a gift from God. It can be ceased unannounced. This is why Daniel boasted. For those that do know their God shall do exploit. What makes us Ambassadors is the new life we have received in Christ Jesus. Life is given to us by God to represent and honour Him on earth. The word of God in the Bible in your hand is the oil you need to sustain and keep your life. This life has a rule you must know and respect if you must enjoy its strength and influence.

Finally, as you work through the challenges you face each day, your attitude and expectancy can mean the difference between having a great day or a bad day. If you find yourself overwhelmed and the challenges are getting you down, encourage yourself in the Lord or find someone who can help you change your outlook. Looking at something from a different angle can help you get a new perspective on things. Challenge yourself to this for a week: Treat each person you meet, without a single exception, as the most important person on earth. You will find they will begin treating you the same way. Therefore, whenever you pray, pray with expectation. That’s what David, the psalm writer, did. He had a need, he had a prayer, and he had an expectation. The scripture “My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning I will direct it to You. And I will look up” Psalm 5:3. When need arose in his life, David laid out his requests in prayer, and looked to the Lord in expectation. Miracles are delivered on the platform of expectation. Your expectation is your God given ability to make a demand on your future. Your expectation connects you to the supernatural for God’s supernatural intervention called miracles. Your expectation is crucial to your success. You must learn to be expectant. You must learn to have right expectations.

Jesus’ teaching is clear: When you pray, expecting that you have received, you will have whatever you ask ‘Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. (Mark 11:24; The NIV says, “believe that you have received them”). We need to pray with expectation, or else there is no point in praying at all. There are many people who pray without having any expectation of receiving. I decree, your expectation shall not be cut short.
