  1. The key mantra of the Christian life. • GIICAHMBIAH

  2. Promises • A promise stated in the bible can be expected…Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. • Notice there is a proviso. • But note God defines what is good not the individual. Ask Job. But remember God is good.

  3. Expectations • You cannot define an expectation outside the word and believe that God is accountable to deliver. • i.e. I expect God to bless my business because I am running “Path Way Ministries” He may but it is not a promise. • Don’t be presumptuous with God, it only disillusions.
