Acts 3:1-9

"1 Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, [being] the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man that was lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength.
8 And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:"

Types Of Expectation -: Unrealistic expectations, realistic expectations(desired to get), Low expectations.

WHY DOES EXPECTATION FAIL

  1. when it's based on assumptions.
    Check Deuteronomy 1:42.
  2. When it's based on sight or physical quality.
  3. When it's based on false hope.
    Check Jeremiah 28:1-4 & 15.
  4. It fails when they are rooted on man and not God.
    May God help us all in Jesus name. AMEN
