There is Hope

 Hi friends,

Hopelessness has been the undoing of so many pilgrims on this eternal highway. Living a life of compromise, backsliding and even deviating to the kingdom of darkness is all as a result of hopelessness.

Job a man, who had seen it all said something very profound in Job 14:7  and I echo:

There is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,

and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

                                                                                                                                    This is the confession of Brother Job after He lost his family, friends, health, possession and wealth. He even experienced spiritual attack as we present day Christians will call it. Mind you, these all started because God made a boast about him.  

 

Listen to me, dear friends, no matter how bleak or hopeless your situation looks there is hope in God. This is not because you deserved to be helped or lifted but because this is the area of Jesus’ specialization. That is why He is called the hope of the faithful.

Life in itself is a bag of uncertainty with ups and downs. The fear of uncertainty has been the undoing of so many people. This fear has led them to doing a lot of unimaginable deeds but there is hope for you as you journey heavenward.

Trials will come. Tribulations may accompany it. Disappointments and the storms of life may assail you. Afflictions from the evil one may not be far-fetched but I have come to sound this loud and clear that there is hope for you in the midst of all these prevailing circumstances.

Jesus proving Himself as the hope of the faithful has been witnessed over the years in the lives of the heroes of faith and other biblical characters. This should make you know that of a certainty, He never failed them, He won’t start with you.

To further amplify this, Jesus Himself told His disciples that in this world they shall have tribulations but they should be of good cheer because He has overcome the world.

The entire life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ was to bring hope. Little wonder, He raised the dead, healed the sick, delivered the oppressed, provided for the hungry and needy. Brought back to the faith those that are erring all in the bid to restore hope.

Hope is the good news and good news is the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus entered the temple and made the public declaration that the spirit of the Lord is upon Him because He has anointed Him to preach the good news of hope.

Against hope, Abraham believed in hope and it was accounted to him as righteousness. If only you can allow your hope in this Almighty God to rise as you move closer to our eternal abode, heaven will account it as righteousness for you.

Keep believing and keep hope alive until we meet at the eternal shores of the golden city.
