DEVOTION ~ HOPE

Theme: Hope 
Text: Romans 8:24&25

24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.



Our expectations as believers is in the glorious liberty Christ will give to us when He returns to judge the world. This is what we hope for knowing that, our Redeemer lives. Our hope is characterized by faith as faith  is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We have no clue the time of manifestation, yet we believe it will surely come to pass. We trust the faithfulness of God so we hope in Him. (Hebrews 11:1)

By faith, we walk, talk and manifest in hope not by what we see. We are not shaped by circumstances or events happening around us but we are moved by the Word of God. The Word gives us an assurance which we hope in persevering until it is established. No one struggles further to get something that has already been seen or attained: you're not motivated to do what is expected but if the goal hasn't been attained, seriousness is attached to achieve it. Let's build our hope in the Word for the Word fails not. 


Prayer: My God and my King, strengthen my heart, will and might as I hope in You concerning the manifestation of Your glory in every area of my life. May my hope not be deferred in anyway but be speedily accomplished in the name of Jesus Christ have I asked. AMEN!

In his line of ministry, he exhibited understanding of the old canon and delivered its message boldly.  √ Despite Apollos's eloquence and knowledge, he was only vexed in the baptism of John without the knowledge that the prophecy about the Messiah had already been fulfilled. John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
