EXPECTATIONS

1 John 1:1-3 “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. ² The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. ³ We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.”

The bible says what you have seen, heard and touches are the word of life. John told us that he saw, heard and continue to make follow up on what he heard from Jesus.

Expectations are the things you see but have not yet touched. It is through faith that you can take a step and touch your expectations. We have already hear with our ears and see with our own eyes the wonders of God and now it is our time to hold what we are expecting.

Your expectation is a spiritual pregnancy, therefore like a pregnant mother expecting for a child, you should also take steps and start preparing yourself to receive your expectations. You must hold them with your own hands. Focus on what you are expecting

Hebrews 11:1-2 “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. ² This is what the ancients were commended for.”

It is true that you will receive and surely you will hold what you are expecting. What makes your expectations work is the word of God which is alive. This word is the one which created heaven and earth and just as how the word created heaven and earth, it will also create your expectations.

It is this word of God which changes situations, people and everything to be as what it says. Make sure you continue to speak what you have heard from the Lord, proclaim it every-time and every-where. As a pregnant woman, you are not supposed to get tired, until you receive your expectation. No one will help you to carry your own expectation, so don’t get tired of nurturing it.

Without expectation, life is a loss. Your expectation is your destiny. Nobody is ready to destroy his/her destiny, so with any cost, keep your expectations.

Expectations must be kept through faith. Abraham kept his expectation through faith. Do not let the devil lie to you.

What hinders expectations?

• Doubt. When the word of life comes to you, don’t allow the spirit of doubt in you
• Fear. This is where the expectations are controlled by devil. Fear is the greatest weapon to destroy expectations
• Unbelief. We receive from God through faith, so not believing can destroy you spiritual pregnancy. Keep confessing the word of God, for the bible says a person will be filled the fruits of his mouth
• Negative thought. Don’t let any negative thought from you or anyone interfere you expectation. Don’t think opposite to what the word of God says over your expectation. Don’t listen to any bad news

Thanksgiving is the best complement for your expectations.
