Monday, May 22, 2006 Excellence & Expectation
I think 2 words should be written across a Christian's life, alongside love...namely- "excellence" and "expectation". The Devil hates expectation. He accuses us of pride everytime we have that seed of expectation that is bursting forth of life. Jesus predicted it- "For the Destroyer (Devil) comes to Kill and Steal; but I come to give you life and life More abundantly." If we really grasp all that the words of Jesus, we can indeed allow a spirit of expectation to grip our lives. Jesus had a spirit of expectation. "He grew in wisdom, stature, and favour before God and men." What causes growth? It is an expectant spirit. Jesus expected His Father to lead and bring him higher in every area of his life, on every step of the way. Do you have such an expectation of God? Jesus breathed expectation into his disciples when he said that "they will do even greater things that (He) is doing." Also, the apostles all had a spirit of expectation as they waited for the "promised counsellor", who is the Holy Spirit, to fill them...on the Day of Pentecost. What is the difference between expectation and pride? Pride relies on our own strength to fulfill our own desires, while expectation relies on God's strength and grace to fulfill His desires for our lives. Let's rise up in the fervent expectation of God to bring us to us a deeper and higher level of Faith, Prosperity, and Intimacy in our lives! And out of that spirit, let excellence flows, because we know we do everything for His glory! Benedict History Maker
