Great Expectations from Yourself

When it comes to believing you were made for greatness, what are your expectations?  Do you believe God has created you for something wonderful?

It’s easy for us to have great expectations from God and even other Christians, but sometimes it’s hard to believe that we can amount to anything outside the “ordinary”. Years go by and in tears we wonder what happened?  Has our life amounted to anything?

When it comes to thinking we have the capabilities to do spectacular things for the Kingdom of God, often time our mindset says, “I just don’t have it in me. I’m not gifted the way Jesus was.”  Friend, that simply isn’t true.

Did you realize that you are here with the purpose of adding value to the Kingdom of God just like Jesus?  It’s true.  Every person who turns their life over to Christ is to be a witness for Him, and each of us should expect every great blessing and promise God has for His children.

We should expect spiritual gifts to grow and accomplish our goals.  Our lifestyle, the way we love others and the testimony we share is to be used to help expand and strengthen the Kingdom of God.

From this point on think of yourself the way God does – empowered to achieve great things for Him.  He believes in you; believe in yourself.

God hasn’t left us helpless to try and do things without Him.  He has given us His Spirit to guide us through every situation. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you what you need to know and how to go about the task.  It won’t be long before you start fulfilling the great expectations God has for you and you have for yourself.

He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance

all things that I said to you." (John 14:26 NLKV)
