HOW DOES THE WORD BUILD UP (8): BY PROVOKING EXPECTATION
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 1:15 (KJV)
Our opening text looks like a negative scripture but please follow me. This scripture explains what happens with expectation. This scripture is talking about desire/lust. From verse 14 it started saying that every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own desire/lust and enticed. Then it said that lust/desire when it is conceived, brings forth sin. This is powerful. What you only need to do in this process was to conceive a desire. However, when that process of conception of desire or expectation is finished, it activates chain of reactions and processes that brings about a product. Expectation is defined as belief about (or mental picture of) the future. It is anticipating with confidence of fulfilment of something. The Word shows you the character of Yahweh, the provisions He has made for you, the outcomes of obeying Him and His provisions. All these knowledge deposit an expectation into you and when this expectation is conceived, it brings forth. Proverbs 23:18 says, “For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.” This is the winning ways of the Word. It has the ability to impart expectation that determines manifestation. You can never see manifestation beyond your expectation. It is expectation that sets the limits for divine manifestations in your life. And this is both in the positive and the negative side.
