MESSAGE OF HOPE BY PASTOR CHARLES OJEI
Hope in itself is life. When hope dies, nothing lives.
When you see what you are hoping for, there is no longer need to hope for that thing. You basically place your hope on what you do not see. And hope requires patience so that what you are hoping for can be actualized.
Don't let go of your hope. The hope you have for your life can't be let go of because of what you are seeing. Instead increase your hope so that you can drown out the voice of the challenges around you.
Hope is one of the strongest virtues a Christian can have for kingdom exploits and victory. It is infact one of the strongest virtues of every human being on earth. But we Christians have our hope in God and not in the world. The greatest mistake any Christian can make is to lose hope in Christ.
It is possible to live in a state of hopelessness in one particular area of life while having hope in another area of life. But as a child of God there is no situation that should make you lose your hope in the abilities of God to change your situation.
The realities of life right now might have seriously dented your hope. Every opportunity you are clinging on to make headway in life might have seriously been tampered with. How will you be able to hold onto your hope? Don't allow your hope to dwindle because our hope is built not on the things we see but on Jesus Christ.
Miracles still happen for those who put their hope in Christ, so you are not permitted to be hopeless. As long as you have life, and you are a child of God, there is still hope.
You can wait out any situation. Keep your hope alive and know that your situation must change. Be so sure that your change must come.
It is your right as a Child of God for negative situations in your life to change into great things. To get to the next level of your life, you must wait out this present level.
Losing your hope starts from the mind. Your mind tells you that there is no longer hope, then you lose hope. Work on your mind so that you will never get to that level.
Hope is spiritual rather than physical. We all started our spiritual race through hope in God. We didn't physically see God but believed in what we heard about God. We must sustain our lives in the kingdom through hope. When we lose hope, we lose the essence of living and begin to die on the inside.
The resurrection of Jesus is the bedrock of our living hope. If Christ could conquer the devil and all the challenges he brought to Jesus, defeated death and came alive again, then nothing can hold us down permanently. By His resurrection He defeated every challenge of our lives.
We cannot wish away the economic hardship, nor can we pray it away. We must work with the covenant we have in Christ that nothing can put us under permanently.
God is able to do all He says He will do. Learn to keep your hope alive. Let your hope be the light that shines on your path.
True hope comes from trusting God even when circumstances are difficult.
It is a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen through God.
A positive desire that something good is going to happen to you because of God's greatness.
Hope helps us see beyond troubles to abundance. Hope gives life a new meaning.
Rejuvenate your mind. You can do/achieve whatever you set your mind to do as long as you keep your hope alive.
Keep your hope alive, continual, and perpetual. If you find that what you hoped for didn't happen today, keep your face on tomorrow. Surely your change will come.
Your change is coming TOMORROW!
Your victory is coming TOMORROW!!!
Your transformation is coming TOMORROW!!!!!
