2 Kings 4:21-37
Psalm 62:5
Challange : To rejoice because it's already done!
Thought : Am I walking in expectation?
Don't put your expectation on people places and things, but put them on God!
We need to stay in expectation of what God is about to do.
Three types of believers
- The believer with no expectation
- The believer with low expectation
- The believer with high expectation
God spoke and things happened. We need to live in his likeness. We need to speak God's words. God's Word says "Death and life is in the power of the tongue" .
We need to live in high expectation. As children of God we should not live beneath our priveleges.
The mind can be positive or negative. Thoughts control your actions and what you become. In other words unless you believe, nothing will happen. You have to believe you can be better, you have to believe you can get that job, etc.
Only God can turn a dead situation into life. God can revive anything! What needs to be revived in your life?
Your marriage?
Your passion for life?
Relation ships in your family?
What are you believing God for?
Jesus sent 70 deciples on their way and told them not to take anything with them. He wanted them to be in expectation every day... Can we live in that kind of expectation?
The 70 returned from being sent out and rejoiced after witnessing what God did for them on thier journey.
God wants us to trust him when he first speaks, not AFTER we witnessed something.
With God we should live in the expectation that it's already done!
Rejoice now because it's already done!
This week: Corporate Challange, expect God to do something great this week.
