Proverbs 23:18 (KJV)
For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
Our anchor Scripture is emphatic that there is an end to every situation or captivity in life. That is, everything that has a beginning equally has an end. There is no journey of life that continues forever, since it has a beginning, it without prejudice has an end. It is very important to know that mentality determines reality, so how we feel on the inside determines our outcome in life. In other words, if we acknowledge that there is an end to every affliction, problem or temptation, then our expectations shall not be cut off because expectations gives birth to manifestations. What we do not expect in our hearts and lives we cannot have in our hands. If we expect nothing, we will get nothing. It is written in Jeremiah 29:11 “for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” God promises to give us an expected end.
Christians can have problems, but the problem must not have the Christian because we are greater than any problem. Job 20:4-5 says “Don’t you realize that ever since man was first placed upon the earth, the triumph of the wicked has been short-lived, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?” No matter what the problems are, there is an end. The triumph or joy of the enemy or affliction is short-lived or temporary, that is there is an end to everything under the sun. Whatever has a beginning has an end as well. There is no problem or tribulation that has been given the signal to work forever. The only One who has no end is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Almighty and Great Jehovah. Pass the test by looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith and never allow any public opinion or pressure from friends to take us out of God’s Presence and Will, in our desperate search for solutions to our problems.
Beloved, encourage yourself with the revelation that no matter what the condition of your life is, there is an end. To every affliction, pain, manipulation from hell and every activity of evil, there is an end. Surely there is an end to poverty, sickness or any difficulty you are experiencing. There is no endless temptation or test of life that lasts forever and let no devil and his agents deceive you that what you are going through would never end. No matter how dark a night may appear, the day must break. I don’t know the equation the devil has confronted your life with, I don’t know the mystery around your life, but I want to let you know that it has come to an end in Jesus’ Name. Let your Faith be high because your expectation shall not be cut off. Keep believing and serve God faithfully because He alone will bring an end to every affliction in your life. Today, see the wickedness of the wicked expire in your life in Jesus’ Name. Do not enter into anything without an expectation. If you expect the best, it will be yours! Remember, the same God who brought an end to barrenness in the lives of Sarah, Rebecca, Hannah and Elizabeth will also bring an end to your marital delay, barrenness, ill-health, poverty, joblessness and every problem the enemy is using to trouble your life in Jesus’ Name.
O Lord, bring an end to every affliction taking away my peace and joy in Jesus’ Name.
