Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14: 6. Our sinful natures make it impossible to behave in a way that reconciles us to God (Romans 3:20). Jesus did not tell the disciples they knew the destination—in fact, He said HE would come to get them (John 14:3)—but they know "the way" there (John 14:3–4). This is true because the means of salvation is not a process, it is a person, JESUS CHRIST!! It is only through HIM, salvation is made accessible. all the blessings of the new covenant is made yes & amen through CHRIST JESUS! Jesus becomes your way in any sort of hopeless situation. HE can make way where there seem to be no way!!

My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth Psalm 121: 2. God is a refuge, our help, our all in all. Nothing else and no one else can fill that place in our lives. God is eternal and faithful. We can put our trust in HIM!

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen!! Heb 11: 1. It is impossible to live a Christian life without faith. For faith to become active, hope is the most inseparable ingredient! Word of God says it is impossible to please God without Faith. That's why God is opening this door of hope for you this morning!! What is this door of hope? Hosea 2: 15,

says..... I will give her the valley of Achor for a door of Hope!! what ever may be your situation. how hopeless it can be, God is opening this door of hope for you. All you need to do is, enter this door!! David was in a hopeless situation but in Psalms 118: 20,he says there is a door of God where righteous will enter & worship the Lord!! You don't have to be perfect, God will make you righteous if you will allow HIM into your life, because HE is righteous!!! HE will open this door of HOPE for you today. Enter inside!! You too can testify the awesome wonders of God in your life!! #DOOROFHOPE

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind!! Romans 12: 2. Our minds can become so cluttered with negative thoughts. Worry, anxiety, fear, these thoughts can also lead to feelings of rejection, unworthiness, hopelessness and so on. Most times, we don’t even realize what’s happening. That’s how crafty the enemy can be. Remember that Peter warns, “be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8. When the enemy tries to enter, we must meet him at the door…do not let him take another step. We must focus our eyes on Jesus and keep our minds filled to the brim with God's word, so there is no room for Satan’s lies. Allow

word of God to renew your mind, calm your spirit, and bring your joy and contentment to light!!!

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might.

 Ecclesiastes 9:10

"Whatever your hand finds to do" refers to works that are possible. There are many things that our heart finds to do that we will never do it. People of great achievements rarely sit back & look for things to happen to them, but instead go out & happened to things. Let us not wait for large opportunities or for a different kind of work, but just do the things we "find to do" day by day! Also careful about the way in which you perform what you find to do-"do it with your might."

Do it promptly; do not fritter away your life in thinking of what you intend to do tomorrow as if that could repay today's laziness.

No one ever served God by doing things tomorrow. If we honor Christ and are blessed, it is by the things that we do today!!!

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" Hebrews 12:1. But how exactly can we run this race that is set before us? Our Christian race is a race of faith! We can’t run very well if we’re bound up in the snares of sinful living. Those things that seem so satisfying in the moment can take our eyes off the prize (as we’ll see), and instead, keep us fixated on temporary thrills. But we’re called to a much better path. At the beginning of the race, Jesus may seem far away in the distance. As we run and keep our eyes on Jesus, God works on us, making us more and more like His Son. Ultimately, He will bring us to our long-awaited reward:

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14. Run the race that is set before you. But Run to win by keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus!!!

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV).

Life’s waiting room is a place where time seemingly stands still. It is a place where life is put on hold. When the storms of life come upon us, we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief towards God. The storms do not have to overcome us; God will strengthen us during our time of waiting. His power will lift us up above the dark clouds so we can ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment into our lives. Renewed by HIS strength!!

Moses pleaded GOD, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here” (Exodus 33:15). Moses boldly pleaded with God, “How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”Exodus 33:15-16. It’s God’s presence that sets us apart! God’s presence provided direction and comfort. HE was valiant in their midst to fight off their enemies. HE provided safety, strength and joy. It was HIS presence that set them apart from all the other peoples of the earth. HIS presence solidified their identity as HIS chosen people!!

Hagar has been mistreated by her mistress Sarah. She’d not wanted to do what was asked of her, but as a slave with no rights or opinions, she’d had no choice. Out of desperation, she finally fled because she couldn’t take the abuse and the pain anymore; but she quickly found herself alone and defenseless, without shelter or sustenance. Perhaps you’ve wondered the same as Hagar when she found herself alone at a desert well: “Does anyone care about me? Does anyone know what I’m going through?” Perhaps you’ve even wondered if God cares and you’ve even cried out, “Do you see what I’m going through, God, and how bad it is?" The answer to all these heart-rending questions, as it was for Hagar, is: Yes, HE does! Because, as with Hagar: GOD sees you! Know that as an individual, you are known by HIM!

The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?” Judges 6:14. When God called Gideon to save HIS nation from slavery and oppression by the Midianites, Gideon gave God the first excuse that I usually come up with: insufficiency.  We know the end of the story, but Gideon didn’t.  He simply obeyed.

He went out in the strength that he had. God made up the difference.
