   Episode 336: When Expectations Are Not Met

   Episode 336: When Expectations Are Not Met What happens when someone doesn’t meet your expectations? When what you assumed they should be doing… Or who you thought they should be… Doesn’t match your reality? Recently, the Holy Spirit highlighted this to me as I studied Gospel of Matthew 11. John the Baptist was in prison. This was the same John who boldly declared Jesus as the Lamb of God. Yet while in prison, he sent his disciples to ask Jesus: “Are You the One who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” (Matthew 11:3) John had an expectation of how the Messiah would move. But Jesus was moving in a way John did not anticipate — healing, restoring, preaching good news. Jesus didn’t rebuke him. He responded with evidence: The blind see. The lame walk. The deaf hear. The dead are raised. The poor have the gospel preached to them. And then Jesus said: “And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” Matthew 11:6 That scripture pierced my heart. I had to do a heart check. Have I placed expectations on my loved ones that God never placed on them? Am I seeing them through God’s eyes or through my own assumptions? When it comes to my loved ones Am I supporting them according to what God has called them to be? Or am I quietly measuring them against my personal checklist? And honestly, I had to ask myself: Have I truly sought the face of God concerning their lives and destiny? Because when expectations are not met, something subtle but dangerous can happen - offence. First hurt. Then disappointment. Then distance. And before you realise it, you may be sitting in a prison not necessarily physical like John but emotional. A prison of offence. Sometimes the prison isn’t caused by what they did. It’s caused by the expectations we never surrendered to God. Maybe the prayer isn’t, “Lord, change them.” Maybe it’s, “Lord, align my heart with Yours.” Help me see them the way You see them. Help me love them the way You love them. Help me release them from my silent expectations. That’s freedom.

   Episode 335: Take Your Place

   Take your place! Enough of complaining. Enough of criticizing others. Take your place in God’s plan. Find your place and fill it! No part of the body is useless — not one! You were designed for a purpose. 1 Corinthians 12:12 says, ‘Just as the body is one but has many members… so it is with Christ.’ So, take your place with love Use your gifts to build, not to tear down. Remember… Take your place!

   Episode 334: Be Careful What You Fill Your Thoughts About Others

   2 Samuel 6 & Luke 23:34 David was excited—jumping and dancing excitedly for the arrival of the ark of God. Free in his worship, lost in the joy of the Lord, he expressed his love for God without reservation. The presence of the Lord had returned to the heart of Israel, and David could not contain his gratitude. But while David rejoiced, Michal, his wife, watched from a window. She saw his unrestrained worship, and instead of joining in the celebration, she filled her heart with scorn. She despised him, judged him, and accused him of acting shamefully before others. Her thoughts toward David were not shaped by love, understanding, or reverence for God. They were shaped by pride, comparison, and possibly even bitterness from her past. David’s response was clear: “It was before the Lord.” His worship was never about impressing people—it was about honoring the One who had chosen him, the One who had been faithful. David understood something Michal missed: worship is an act of the heart, and when it is genuine, it will not always look dignified to others. Michal’s story serves as a warning—when we allow our thoughts about others to be filled with negativity, judgment, or resentment, we close our hearts to the blessings of God. The Bible records that she remained childless for the rest of her life. Whether this was a physical consequence or a spiritual one, the truth remains: a critical heart bears no fruit. So today, ask yourself: What are you filling your thoughts with when you see others worship, succeed, or express their love for God? Are you rejoicing with them, or are you secretly judging them? The enemy wants to turn our hearts toward criticism, but God calls us to celebrate His presence and His work in others. Let’s choose to fill our hearts with love, gratitude, and worship—just like David. Also just like Jesus did saying - Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. Because when we keep our focus on the Lord, there’s no room for resentment butGod’s love.
