Expect Good Things To Happen To You
Ephesians 6:17- And take the helmet of salvation…
When the phone rings at odd times, most people think, “Oh dear, it must be bad news.” They don’t think, “I wonder what the good news is that it cannot wait till morning!”
When we hear, “The boss wants to see you,” instinctively, we think, “Oh dear, this is not good.” But how do we know that it is not going to be about a promotion?
Our minds are inclined toward the negative. So to guard our minds against negative thoughts, we are to put on “the helmet of salvation”, which is “the hope of salvation”. (1 Thessalonians 5:8)
If you are going through a trial right now, putting on as a helmet the hope of salvation means that you have a confident expectation of good coming your way. It means that you choose to believe that this trial that you are going through is only temporary because God will see you through it. It means that you believe that this difficult period will end with your salvation — your preservation, wholeness, wellness and health!
You may not know what is going to happen this week. But one thing you can do is to put on the helmet of the hope of salvation and tell yourself that you are going to have a fantastic week!
“Well, you know, Pastor Enoch, you never know what to expect. We hear so much bad news these days — another flu outbreak, another company retrenching its workers… I really hope that I will not be retrenched next. But I cannot be sure. I am keeping my fingers crossed.”
No, my friend, biblical hope is not “I hope so” but “I know so”! You can have a confident expectation of good happening to you because you are not like the people of the world. You are a child of the living God. You have a Savior watching over you. There are more angels given charge over you than there are demons against you. And greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4) There is every reason for you to have a confident expectation of good happening to you!
Confession:
As a child of the living God, I have a great expectation of good happening to me at all times. Hallelujah 🙏

Amen, this is so true, we are so fast to accept the possibility of bad news than we are of good news. This is a lie from the enemy to put fear in us. Part of our reality in Christ is to be able to command angels of good news to go & bring that good news to us, we should use it to our advantage. I’ve never seen wearing the helmet of salvation in this way. Wow, a confident expectation of good coming my way!! AMEEEENNN 🥳🥳🎉🎉👏🏾👏🏾💥💥. Praise the Lord. Thank you so much Pastor for this devotion 🙌🏾🙏🏾🌼

It is so true worries go before us so quickly and we forget there is always light at the end of every trial. Going through this trial period of having a miscarriage, the devils work was for me to lose faith in God because I had given myself to Christ prior before the miscarriage. Because of the pain I felt so much I’ve been tempted by the devil to go back to my addiction but because of God’s mercy over me I didn’t return back to it instead I held on onto the word of God, worshipping Him even more when I felt really down instead of running to a quick fixer. My relationship with God grew stronger. At the back of my mind I would hear brother Eti’s voice saying to be there is no point to be high when you can get High on God!
I’ve never seen wearing the helmet of salvation in this way. The Devil was defeated. Hallelujah! My God is indeed a loving God.
As a child of the living God, I have a great expectation of good happening to me at all times. Hallelujah 🙏

Amen and Amen. God bless you Pastor 🙏

I love the way I read this in my Bible.
1st JOHN 4V4
YOU ARE OF GOD, LITTLE CHILDREN, YOU HAVE OVERCOME THEM, BECAUSE, HE WHO IS IN YOU IS GREATER THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD.
MY DEAR PASTOR, WHAT YOU SAYING IS SO TRUE. IT’S BEEN NEARLY THREE WEEKS NOW I HAVE NOT SEEN DONOVAN. HE HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY. AND THEY WON’T LET ANYONE SEE HIM, HE HIMSELF DON’T WANT ME TO KNOW OR SEE HIM. I HAVE BEEN TORN. BUT NOW I HAVE MORE FAITH THAT GOD KNOWS. I WAS THINKING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO REALLY BAD THINGS TO HIM. UNTIL I BEGIN TO REMAIN FOCUSED ON MY GOD WHO MAKES ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME.
SO I WENT BACK TO POSITIVE THINKING. RELYING ON GOD
BELIEVING IN GOD
TRUST IN GOD AND KEEPS SERVING HIM FAITHFULLY AND EXPECT THAT DONOVAN WILL GET BETTER, HE WILL BE DELIVERED, WILL BE OUT OF WHERE HE IS A BRAND NEW PERSON.
THE SAME GOD IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL 4 V 34. THAT BOUGHT KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR BACK FROM THE BUSH AFTER 7 YEARS.
LIVING AS AN ANIMAL.
RESTORED HIM AND KEPT ALL HIS GLORY. KEPT HIS BELONGINGS.
KEPT HIS KINGDOM.
HE IS THE LORD.
HE REMAINS THE SAME HE NEVER EVER CHANGE.
I PUT MY TRUST IN HIM.
I WILL SEE DONOVAN. HE WILL BE A STRONGER MAN IN GOD. HE WILL COME OUT AND GOD WILL USE HIM TO DELIVER HIS PEOPLE FROM THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. JUST LIKE HE USED MOSES AND JOSEPH.
IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS I PRAY AMEN. NOW EVERYDAY IS WIFE KELLY TELLS ME THAT SHE SEES HIM EVERYDAY, HE IS EATING WELL, LOOKING BETTER. I PUT ALL MY TRUST IN GOD. HALLELUJAH. THIS DEVOTIONAL HAS OPENED UP MY HEART EVEN MORE. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH SIR.
MORE GRACE, FRESH ANOINTING IS YOUR PORTION IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST AMEN 🙏🏾👏🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾. MY TESTIMONY WILL BE LOUD. 🔊
As a child of the living God, I have a great expectation of good happening to me at all times. Hallelujah 🙏
Amen

John 5 vs 24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life”. Christ came and rescued our souls and brought a hope for tomorrow that we may have eternal life with God. So long as we believe in and hope for the good to happen we will work towards our eternal life with God.
Our Saviour is always watching over us. He has more angels given charge over me than there are demons against me. (Jeremiah 29 vs 11) “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope”. He preserves my life so that I can remain fixed on achieving the plans He has for my future. Thank you Pastor for reminding us that we don’t have to worry but to expect for the best.
(Job 22 vs 28) reminds me that “You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways”. As a child of the living God, I have decided to have a great expectation of good happening to me at all times, which the light of God shine overs. Hallelujah
Thank you so much Pastor for this powerful Word that always reminds of why we should stay close to God and seek out the best in life as God had desired for us. Greater wisdom and grace is yours Sir.
As a child of the living God, I have a great expectation of good happening to me at all times. Hallelujah.
AMEN
Proverbs 23:18…what we expect is what we will eventually get.
