NOT LOOSING HOPE

-

Lamentations 3:21-24

Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.

Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.

I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!”


In these times, many patterns have been disrupted, many sacraments have been disrupted. There is the good side and also the bad sides, for many believes have been countered. 


However, there is one hope that cannot be changed, no matter how long it has tarried and no matter the fall or rise of faith. For it is the intentions and plan of the creator Himself.


Romans 5:5

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.


It is the hope of eternal life spent in bliss with the Heavenly Father. The resurrection of the Son is our consolation and the evidence of our own resurrection and victory. For whether we are still in our earthy body when He returns or we have left the body, we are assured that where He is, there we will be also.


John 14:3

When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.


This is the greatest hope of everyone who has believed.


Titus 2:13

while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.


This eternal hope is also exercised day after day, as we wait on the Lord for earthy victories, we ask and we wait knowing that the Heavenly Father never ignores our prayers.


Matthew 7:7-8

“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.


So the believer is always hopeful, pessimism is anti-believe so the believer sticks with optimism and is never disappointed.


As we end this month, believe again. That it didn't come to pass this month does not mean it won't come to pass soon, for your waiting as a believer bears fruit, the Lord uses all opportunities to make us better.


That is why Paul emphasized:


Romans 8:28

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.


Don't loose hope, stay faithful. All the troubles will pass, they are all a passing phase. Joy cometh in the morning.


God is always faithful, give Him praise.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
