Romans 8:19-21 “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God…”

DAILY READING; Luke 20:1-26; Genesis 35:1-36:43; Psalm 27

Hollywood actress and singer, Brenda Epperson is well known as a Christian. She has starred in films on HBO and has also appeared on a host of other networks including TBN and CNN. She has also maintained a fruitful music career. Though she has been a Christian for long, her faith became greatly tested when her family moved to a new home in California.

From the day they moved in, she felt an inexplicable urge to pray over every inch of the property. And for a year and a half she would often wake up and walk around the property, declaring God’s promises over the property. She also wrote Scriptures of protection on wooden stakes and put them around the property.

On November 8th, 2018, the Woolsey Fire, broke out and began to consume Los Angeles and Ventura counties, taking lives and hundreds of homes in its wake. When it became unsafe and the police insisted everyone evacuate, Brenda and her family had to flee to a friend’s house in Burbank. Over the news Brenda and her family watched as the hills around their home burned with fire. Though it seemed their home was gone in the fire, Brenda chose faith over fear. After a couple of days, Brenda and her husband decided to venture back home. When they got to their neighborhood, there was just smoke everywhere. However, when they came to their home, they were amazed. They saw that the fire had burned the entire mountain all the way down, but the fire had stopped just at the edge of their fence. It did not cross over into their compound. While the fire had devastated the environment around them, their home was safe and totally untouched.

On seeing this, Brenda fell on her knees in awe of God. Ever since, she has been publicly sharing this amazing testimony of God’s divine exemption.

From Scriptures we understand that the last days will be times of disasters and difficulties in the world.
Malachi 4: 1-4 says that they will be days that will burn as oven on the earth, however in the midst of these fiery days, those that fear God will be exempted.

Indeed while the last days may be difficult and perilous times for the world, God has a demarcation plan for His people. The same way He exempted the Israelites from the plagues of Egypt, God shall be separating the redeemed from the evils of the end-times. In the midst of the darkness the sons of God will be shinning as lights. They will dominate their environment and their cases will be different.

Romans 8:19-21 says: “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God…”

The manifestation of the sons of God will be the manifestation of glory. In the midst of the gross darkness in the world, our light will so shine with glorious testimonies and good works, that men will continually glorify God. However what we believe is what we will receive. This is why as this year draws to a close we need to build up our faith and trust that the year will surely end in glory for us.

Today is the first day of October, which marks the beginning of the last three months of the year. It was within three months that God changed the story of Obededom. [2 Samuel 6]. Likewise in these remaining three months, God’s goodness will indeed distinguish us. Just as Obededom brought the ark of the Lord into his house, and was blessed beyond measure, as we take our service in God’s house to a new level, God will indeed surprise us. God’s hand will be so evident upon our lives that men will truly wonder. Though the world may be complaining of disaster and difficulty, we will be celebrating the goodness of God. By the Blood of Jesus, the anointing to finish well and strong will come upon us. Indeed through the mighty manifestations of God, we will become a sign and wonder to our world.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the great and amazing things You are set to do in my life in this new month. I thank You for unprecedented blessings and favor. Surely, my expectations to see glory this year will speedily come to pass, in Jesus Name.
