OUR HOPE

Introduction

This was written to help my brothers and sisters struggling with bad news. SICKNESS, DISEASE, AND DEATH CAN CAUSE SOMEBODY TO SINK. Be of good cheer, we have HOPE. READ ON......
WORD OF THE DAY

1John 5:13

1 John 5:13
New King James Version (NKJV)
13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,[a] and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
What a promise! The Word of God tells us that “We have eternal life”. If we believe in the Name of the Son of God, there is hope. We cannot be lost. As long as we know that God gave us His Son to die for us, and he came and purchased us by His blood, we are children of God. If we acknowledge the blood sacrifice of Jesus.

We need to understand how important it is to know that hope. This is the blessed Hope. Daily we live in a world where evil is rampart. So much bad news! Doctors constantly deliver the bad news to us, but is this the end? No, we have Hope. Eternal life is our Hope. We believe God for long life and abundance of blessings, but what about the one who has been given bad news?

Day by day somebody somewhere crashes under the heavy weight of bad news. Where is our Hope? Here The Word of GOD tells us that it’s not the End. We are Eternal beings, living in a finite body called Flesh. All we need to do is believe in the Name of the Son of God. Paul says this….
2 Corinthians 4:16
New King James Version (NKJV)
Seeing the Invisible
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
Our hope is that inside there is life though outside maybe decaying. Our hope is Eternity with Jesus. We have an eternal habitation prepared by God. Once again read this…
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
New King James Version (NKJV)
Seeing the Invisible
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things, which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Glory to God, He is worthy to be praised. If we believe in the Name of the Son of GOD, we have eternal life, not only that, we can look straight at any affliction whether of body or soul and say, I’m winning this. I will get a glorious crown, out of this. I wont crumble, l will fight on knowing if l reach the end of life, on Earth I’ve got a new house that is eternal, and I look forward to be clothed with that one house, which will never be destroyed. Eternal like me (my spirit).

Comfort yourselves with these words. Think on them, meditate on them, Find hope in them. We have a house, tent, waiting for us in heaven, with no pain or destruction.
This is our hope…

2 Corinthians 5:1-3
New King James Version (NKJV)
Assurance of the Resurrection
For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked.
Do you see that, There is hope if you believe in the Son of God. If you trust in Him. As soon as you begin to trust in His Name He starts to build a house for you. We give Him PRAISE. COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS.

TRUSTING THE LORD!

Do you trust the LORD, with all your heart, all your soul and all you have? What does that mean?
It doesn't mean that problems wont come your way! No, It simply means when problems come your way, you are not moved! It means you know in whom you have believed in and He wont let you down. God is FAITHFUL. We can put our Trust in HIM.
LOOK AT THIS SCRIPTURE!
LUKE 1: 37
FOR WITH GOD NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE!
MY FAVOURITE SCRIPTURE!
I can preach on this verse any time, anywhere. It is because l know that its true. Nothing that l face is too hard for the Lord!
When oceans rise and thunders roar, all l need to do is to look unto the Lord. Nothing is impossible with JEHOVAH.
I always understand this to mean with God on my side, I can face anything. The other meaning is l can face anything as long as l walk with Jesus. Jesus will never let us down. He is there even when things come out the way you didn't expect. He understands perfectly every situation. He knows whats best for us. Our issue is not that God doesn't understand us, ITS THAT WE NORMALLY DON'T CHECK HIS WILL FIRST.
Have you ever thought how things would turn out if Jesus gave us all the things we thought we needed?
What kind of a Father do you think Jesus is? One who would buy a 2 yr old a sports car because he threw a tantrum...
Your issue is Trust! do you trust Him with your life?
Some trust strangers more than they trust JESUS!
How many times have you questioned the ability and skill of a
- pilot, bus driver, driver, train driver, couch driver?
Yet we question the LORD.
RESOLVE THIS TODAY!
ARE YOU GOING TO TRUST HIM, HIS JUDGEMENT, TIMING, ABILITY, AND LOVE.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
