*Topic:* Expectation is a key to receiving
*Text:* And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
Mark 1:40-44 KJV

Glory be to God for another day and opportunity to share the word.
Briefly I want to share about how expectation leads to receiving.
To expect something you have a faith in the source of your expectation. For example if you expect some harvest of tomatoes from a coconut tree that is a mixed or unrealistic expectation.
But if you expect to harvest tomato where you have sown seeds of 🍅 tomatoes its most likely you will get the harvest.
From the scripture above the leper came to Jesus expecting to be healed and he asked for what he wanted...
_And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed._
The leper didn't go to Jesus asking for a wife or for new clothes. His primary heart desire was to get healed and Jesus was moved with compassion.. let me tell you something if this man had no faith that Jesus, he wouldn't have gone to Him seeking to be cleansed in the first place.
This brings me to the topic, our expectations in life will lead to what we receive.
Healing can be supernatural if you believe in the supernatural God. As much as God can heal us supernaturally, He can use people to bring the healing we need to us.
The first and most important things is your faith and your expectations. At times we have so much thing we need healing for but we think is this not too much for God.
The truth is nothing is too much or too big for God. Don't say He should sought this out then we can talk about the others later.
That leper couldn't mingle with normal human being because the leprosy was a big stigma in his life hence him tabling it as his all before Jesus.
What is your expectations from God, do you have faith He can do it. If you do then don't hold back.
*Let us Pray*
Lord I thank you for your word that has made me stronger than I can imagine in Jesus name
Lord thank you for increasing my faith daily in Jesus name
Lord thank you for my expectations that are coming to realisation in Jesus name
Lord thank you because as I release all that I need healing on this day you will touch me and put an end to midnight cries in my life in Jesus name
*Personal Prayer*
Thank you everlasting father for answered prayers in Jesus name
