Why You Must Increase Your Expectation On The Word Of God

 

 

What do you expect from the word of God? Your expectation is a function of what you know and understand of God's word. And the word of God delivers to you what you expect from it; for your expectation shall not be cut off. Therefore, increase your expectation of the word of God to increase what it delivers to you.

 

For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off - Proverbs 23:18 (KJV).

 

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh - Proverbs 4:20-22 (NKJV).

Introduction

There is so much to gain being saved, but they're subject to your expectation on the word. However, many believing Christians are suffering and they get destroyed because of ignorance of what the Word offers them. Yet, the word of God is the life of a believer, for you live by the word. So, every believer must soak himself with God's word and expect the Lord to confirm His word in his life to benefit from it.

Why You Must Increase Your Expectation On The Word Of God

1.You're born and maintained by the word

Everything in this world, including you, was made by God's word. And the Lord upholds His creation by the word of His power. So, if you want to operate at your best you must breathe and eat the word. This is because your spirit, soul and body will grow and respond maximally when you give them what they are made of; while any other intake will make them malfunction.

 

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible - Hebrews 11:3 (NKJV).

 

Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high - Hebrews 1:3 (NKJV). Read more 

 

 

 

 

What Determines Your Take Away Package In A Church Service?

Do you go for church services with any expectation in your heart? Your expectation determines what comes to you. It says how prepared you are for a service. This post emphasizes the need to go for church services with expectations in our hearts.

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 (KJV, emphasis mine).

I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am corrected. Then the LORD answered me and said: "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it" - Habakkuk 2:1-2 (NKJV).

Many people go to church without knowing why they go to church. Some people go to church as a routine, "there is service between this time and this time, and the pastor will expect us to be there." Most of the time, this is the case for many people. So, they go to church empty and return empty, no changes in their lives.

Church service is a time of fellowship with God and with the brethren. It is a time to speak to God and also hear what God has to say to you. It is a time to be serviced so that you will be in a top shape representing God wherever you may find yourself. However, the level to which you are serviced depends on the expectation you have in your heart for the service. The expectation of your heart determines your take away package in a church service?

The expectation you have determines how open and sensitive you are to receive from God. It determines the knowledge of wisdom that enters your soul and the rewards that come to you as a result of it. Your expectation shall not be cut off (Proverbs 24:14). Read more...

Expectation For New Year

Every New Year is different from the last year and so should be started on a new footing. Last year may not have been pleasant or as you expected, however, one thing that is sure is that the New Year holds the opportunity for a tremendous change. And the paramount key for success is your expectation.

For surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off – Proverbs 23:18 (AMP)

 

And when they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me – 2 Kings 2:9 (AMP)

Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it – Jeremiah 1:12 (AMP)

Success in the New Year lies on your expectation. What you expect is what you receive. Likewise, what you don’t expect you will certainly not receive. I have learned from God’s word and personal experience that your expectation surely comes to pass. It may take a while but it WILL come to pass.

So, the paramount question is, “what is your expectation for the New Year?”

Your answer to the above question gives a vivid picture of how the year will turn out for you. This is because it will determine your thoughts, words and actions throughout the year. Also, it will affect your strength and vitality, your perspective to people, things and places in general. Your expectation really is a very important key for success in New Year. Read more...
