A lot of times we have faith in the future. We believe that one day things will get better, one day we will feel better, and one day the challenges will turn around which is good. However, if we are not careful we will only believe in the future and not in the now! Faith says Receive it now; get the result now! (Hebrews 11:1)
If your desired result is to happen now, having faith in the future is contradictory! You have to believe; “My time is now”. “Now is the moment for my health to improve”. “Now is the moment I get the phone call I have been waiting for”. You must have an expectancy that something good will happen for you now.
The expectancy should not be for next week or next year. No, “it has to be now! I can be promoted now ” I can meet the person of my dreams now”. When you have this expectancy and the faith to get it done now, then God will do things now! Suddenly, you will get the favour you needed, you will feel better and your lost years will be restored!
The scripture says, “Now is the time for God’s favour” (2 Corinthians 6:2) God want to do something amazing in your life now. Some Christians believe that God is going to do something amazing for them one day; One day they will meet the right person. One day they will get that miracle; that’s fine.
However, I’m asking you to come out of a “one-day mentality” and come over to a “right now mentality.” If God can do it one day, He can do it “now”. If He can do it in the future, it’s just as easy as doing it “now”.
What are you looking for? What are you expecting? To barely get by this year? Or are you expecting an abundance of rain now? Do you think your situation will ever change or do you believe that your change can happen now? This is your time for God’s favour.
If you are not looking for God’s goodness, if you don’t develop this attitude that, “My time is now,” then even though God is longing to increase His goodness in your life, He will back off and put His blessings on hold… You wouldn’t want that to happen!
You may want to ask me about the role of God’s timing in all of this… I wrote a message on God`s timing on this website, you may want to check it out. My quick response to God’s timing in all of this will be that what if the reason we are not getting it done now is because we are not releasing our faith for it to be done now?
When you have this attitude; “My time is now. God, I believe, now you are at work in my life. Now you are lining up the right people. Now you are making my crooked places straight. Now you are fighting my battles for me”. When you have this “now faith”, “that is when you will see “The Great I Am” show up and do amazing things.
Too many people live with this “One day mentality.” The challenge with one day is that it will always be in the future. What if God wants to answer your prayer and you say, “Okay, one day I know God will do it”? Next month comes, and you say God will do it “one day”. Next year comes, God will do it “one day”. Twenty years from now comes and it’s still the “one day” God will do it syndrome!
Brethren, one day never comes; It’s always tomorrow. Why don’t you have the boldness to say, “God, I believe now is my day. I received your favour now. This challenge is turning around now. The right person is coming my way now”
Have you ever asked God to do something for you now, to show you His favour? Or you are saying “I wouldn’t be that bold, that is presumptuous. The scripture says, “We do not have because we ask not”. (James 4:2-3)
TAKE THE STEP OF FAITH NOW!

The scripture tells us about a lady who displayed the “now faith”! She had been sick for twelve years with a bleeding disorder. She spent all she had on the sickness, she went to many doctors but no cure!
The lady could have gotten discouraged and thought, “Well, it just wasn’t meant to be. I guess that’s it”. Her attitude was, My time is now. I may not see how it can work out, but Lord, my healing is now.
She heard that Jesus was travelling through her city. She thought, “If I could just touch Him I know I will be healed”. She had this expectancy. She knew God could suddenly turn it around. She pressed her way through the crowd. I can hear her saying, “Excuse me. I don’t mean to be rude, but my time is now; Things are about to change in my life”.
She reached out and touched the edge of Jesus’ garment and instantly she was healed. Jesus stopped, and said to the disciples, “Who touched me”? They said, “Jesus. Everybody is touching you. It’s crowded around here”.
Jesus said, “No, somebody touched me with such faith and expectancy, that the miraculous working power came out of me”. About that time, Jesus saw this woman and said, “Daughter, your faith has made you whole”. (Mark 5:25-34)
Notice this, it wasn’t God’s faith that healed the woman. God has all the faith in the world but when you believe, your faith can cause God to do it instantly. Your expectancy can cause the Creator of the universe to do amazing things in your life.
The scripture says, “God is longing to be good to you”. God wants to show you His favour, but there is a requirement. God is going to be good, not a must for everyone. The rest of the verse tells us who. “Blessed are those who look for, who long for, who expect His goodness, His favour, His victory”. God is going to be good to the people who are looking for His goodness, people who are expecting His favour. (Isaiah 30:18)
And I have heard the saying, “Don’t expect too much that way when it doesn’t happen you won’t feel disappointed”. This is not a way to live. God meets you at the level of your expectations. If you expect this to be an ordinary year it will be an ordinary year. “So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. Proverbs 24:14
Our attitude should be, “I’m expecting this year to be better than last year. I’m expecting a miracle to chase us down and overtake us. I’m expecting divine connections and the right people to show up. I’m expecting our children to be mighty in the land, and to excel in school.
I’m expecting us to live debt-free, to lend and not borrow, to be the head and not the tail. I’m expecting to overcome every challenge, that no weapon formed against us will prosper” and suddenly I live a life of abundance and overflow.
Start expecting new doors of opportunity, favour in your career, favour in your health, favour in your finances. God is longing to be good to you. He is looking down from the heavens right now. But you have to be in a position. What’s the position? Expectancy. Believing that “my time is now. Something good is going to happen to me now”.
Faith causes God to act. Your expectancy, believing that things are changing, saying, “Lord, I receive my favour now. I receive my healing now. I receive my restoration now”. That’s not just being positive. That’s your faith being released. That’s what causes the Creator of the universe to go to work in your life.
My question is, are you expecting your desired result now? Not tomorrow. Not next week. Now is the time for things to turn around! Don’t have a “one day” God will do it kind of faith. Reach out to God now with your faith and receive your desired result! If you do this, I decree and declare that your desired result is coming to pass now in Jesus’ name.
The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace
