- 0:31The expectation of the righteous expectation of the righteous Provabs eleven, verse twenty
- 0:40three. The desire of the righteous is only good. Desire of the righteous
- 0:47is only good, but the expectation of the wicked is brought. Desire talks
- 0:54about expectitions, and this desire, our expectition is what leads or drives a
- 1:00man to make certain decisions, to take certain parts in life. Desires are
- 1:07simply products of the heart, their manifestations. Their manifestations or evidence of fruits
- 1:12of the seeds that have been sown in a man's heart. Most times these
- 1:17seeds comes by what a man sees and what a man he is. This
- 1:22is the reason why the Bible said we should guard our heart with what diligence,
- 1:26for out of it comes the issues of life, I will say,
- 1:30out of it comes the part a man chooses. The Bible t tastes it
- 1:34clear that the fruit of the righteous, of the desire of the righteous,
- 1:41is good, is good. This simply means it is according to the will
- 1:46of God. Remember when God says that the thoughts that I have towards you
- 1:49are thoughts of good, are not of evil, to give you an expected
- 1:53end, to give you a future. So this simply shows us that our
- 1:59desire, the desire of the righteous, is in line with the thoughts of
- 2:05God. That is the will of God. And that's why when we pray,
- 2:09we don't pray amiss. We pray according to the will of God.
- 2:14This doesn't stop the fact that the expectation of a righteous man will be caught
- 2:20shot when a believer does not have the knowledge of the will of God and
- 2:24understanding of the will of God. Because that understanding of the will of God
- 2:30produces wisdom. Let's read Efficiency chapter five, verse seventeen. Wherefore, be
- 2:36not on wise, be not on wise. That's the only way for you
- 2:39to get wisdom, is that is, but understand what the will of the
- 2:44Lord is is but understand what the will of God is. So that is
- 2:50how we get wisdom. Not let's be proverbs Proverbs twenty four, verse fourteen.
- 2:55So shall the knowledge of wisdom, So shall the knowledge of wisdom,
- 3:00that is the understanding of the will of God. Is a sociality be onto
- 3:05thy soul when thou hast found it, When thou hast found it, then
- 3:10shall I reward. Then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation.
- 3:15Thy expectation shall not be cut off. So you see the criteria for the
- 3:22expectation of the righteous. The knowledge of wisdom, and that knowledge of wisdom
- 3:27is gotten by understanding the will of God. Will of God simply talks about
- 3:34God's minds, God's thoughts. Like we said, God's intent, God's purpose,
- 3:38God's motive. And I've come to understand that we can get this will
- 3:44of God easily, but when we are inclined, when our spirit is inclined
- 3:51to God's world. So this knowing the will of God is built over a
- 3:57man's fellowship with the world, because that is how you get to know God.
- 4:00That's how you get to know God's mindset, God's thinking at, God's
- 4:04motive, God's purples. And once you can progress with it, once you
- 4:10can progress in this, in the study of the world, it begins to
- 4:15influence and affect your decisions and your choices and your desire as a believer.
- 4:23So the more you know the mind of God, the will of God,
- 4:26the more it affects your desire. So silly importance. It means that your
- 4:31desires will not be driven by your flesh, because when your desire is driven
- 4:38by your flesh, devil can jump in and take advantage. Yes, that's
- 4:44where you see the lost in a man's heart, and that man is willing
- 4:47to do anything to get that his desire get. But when the spirit of
- 4:53God is in ford, when God's will, your understanding of God's will is
- 4:57there, it will not be driven. Your desire will know be driven by
- 5:00the devil. The devil will not take advantage of your desire. So even
- 5:03in that thing that you're setting, that thing that you're seeking for, that
- 5:06your desire, you can come to a point where you can even do without
- 5:12it. That you are you don't lost over it. So it's necessary that
- 5:15we be careful that we guard our hearts so that we know the type of
- 5:18spirit that is sponsoring the desires in our hearts. This is very clear when
- 5:24is the spirit of God, there will be a sense of peace, there
- 5:27will be a sense of contentment. Yes, that is where the wisdom,
- 5:32the knowledge of wisdom is expressed. So in your desire, if you don't
- 5:36see signs or fruits of the spirit like meekness, like love, like come,
- 5:43if you don't see the fruits of the spirit in your desire, in
- 5:46your quest for that thing, for that expectation, then you can know that
- 5:50it is not of the will of God. You must find out the fruits
- 5:57that spirit is wi is willing, that spirit within you, that driving is
- 6:00willing to produce. That's where you will see that most people that have negative
- 6:05drives, good desires, but are driven by a negative spirit. You see
- 6:11them go the extram and do evil things just to get their desires, just
- 6:15to satisfy their soul. Everything a man does in life is driven by his
- 6:23spirit. What matters is how much that spirit has influence. And that's why
- 6:29we need the Holy Spirit, because when the Holy Spirit is involved, it
- 6:32will be difficult for the spirit of the world to have influence over our spirit
- 6:40man. So for the righteous, it's not that the righteous cannot desire good
- 6:45things of life, but his desire will be according to God's will. Why
- 6:50because he understands. He understands, and that's where the knowledge of wisdom comes
- 6:57into player. And that's why God is willing to bless such a man,
- 7:00because he knows that way he blesses such a man, that man will not
- 7:04for straits or take the blessing for and derail from the purposes of God.
- 7:14So, as a believer, have good expectations, have good desires, or
- 7:18let us good expectations and desires be driven by the right spirits. Proverbs twenty
- 7:28three, verse eighteen. For surely there is an end and thy expectation.
- 7:32Your expectation shall not be cut off. Expectation shall not be caught shots.
- 7:40Because you have the wisdom of God. I remain the faith campaign of Christ.
