Celebrate You

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Why?

You are fearfully and wonderfully made – Psalm 137 verses 14 to 18. This speaks of gratitude to God for who you are, how He created you and why He created you. David understood this and that explains he was unusually confident, celebrated himself and excelled, and prospered wherever he went. I pray that God will help you to see who you are so that you can place the right value on you and celebrate you accordingly in Jesus mighty name.

God loves you and gave up his only begotten son so that you can be reconciled to Him. Please see John Chapter 3 verse 16, 4 verses 9 to 11, 16, 19 and Jeremiah Chapter 31 verse 3.

You are special to God. Please see Deuteronomy Chapter 7 verses 6 to 8.

God is mindful of you and takes care of you. Please see Hebrews Chapter 2 verses 6 to 8, Psalm 8 verses 1 to 9.

God crowned you with glory and honor . Please see Psalm 8 verse 5.

God visits you to expand and increase you, restore life to you. Please see psalm 8 verse 4, Genesis Chapter 21 verse 1, Ruth Chapter 1 verse 6, Luke Chapter 1 verses 68, 78, 7 verse 16, 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verse 21.

God gave you dominion over the works of His hands. Please see Genesis Chapter 1 verses 26 to 28, Psalm 8 verses 6 to 9.

God inscribed you on the palms of His hands and your walls are continually before Him which explains why He cannot forget you. Please see Isaiah Chapters 49 verses 13 to 16, 44 verse 21 and 1^st Samuel Chapter 1 verses 19 to 20.

Expect Great Things From God

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha 

It is what you expect that you experience. If you always expect good things, then you will always experience good. But if your expectations are always negative, then chances are you will always have negative experiences and share negative stories which no one really likes to hear. Generally, people like to hear positive reports and comments about life. A life filled with positive expectations will always therefore have positive reports and comments that impact other people positively.

God desires positive expectations from His children. He desires that His children anticipate good things from Him irrespective of whatever present circumstances and trials they are experiencing in life. That is why He stated in Jeremiah Chapter 29 verses 11 to 12 that His thoughts towards His children are thoughts of good and not of evil, designed to give His children an expected end of good.

Positive expectations allow you to connect to the extravagant grace of God for humanity. The Syro Phoenician woman was full of positive expectations which explain why she said to Jesus that even the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from the master’s table. Significantly, her expectations of healing for her child were met as she did not leave without a positive answer from Jesus Christ. Please see Matthew Chapter 13 verses 22 to 28.
