MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE, MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL, FRIDAY 23 JULY 2021: God our hope

TOPIC FOR TODAY: 23-7-21: God our hope

By Dr D.K Olukoya General Overseer MFM worldwide

  

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 133, Psalms 134, Psalms 135, Psalms 136, Psalms 137, Psalms 138, Psalms 139

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Romans 8:24-25

Memory verse: Romans 15:13

 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Motivational Quote: For the believer, there is hope beyond the grave, because Jesus Christ has opened the door of heaven for us by His death and resurrection.

Prophetic Word: Let the power and ability to navigate through negative situations fall upon you now, in the name of Jesus.

Hope is the belief or expectation that what you wish for will happen. It is a virtuous desire for a future good. Therefore hope is futuristic. Biblical hope is based on deep assurance and firm confidence about future things. Of course, these are things based on God’s promises as revealed to us through His word.

Biblical hope in God cannot be separated from firm faith and complete trust in Him. The Bible makes us to understand that our hope in God is an anchor that keeps us steady through the circumstances of life. Beloved, when your hope is in God, it means that you trust and stand on His truth and faithfulness that never fail. Our hope is not in man or in the world system.

God is the only hope of humanity. He alone has the power to do anything and everything. When the whole world was in darkness, God brought light. When man was wallowing in sin and destruction, He sent His Son for salvation and deliverance.

Whatever you are passing through, God can get you out of it if only you trust in Him. The help of man is limited; man can backstab you, deride you, use your problems to mock you and expose your nakedness, but God will remove your shame. “Christ in you the hope of glory” (Col 1:27b).

Look up to Him. The difference between faith and hope is that faith is now; hope is always in the future. And there’s a reason for that. Romans 8:24-25 states, “We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)

Hope is that expectancy that keeps our faith alive until what we’re believing for comes. Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. Both faith and hope should be anchored on Jesus Christ. That is when they will produce the best results. Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.

They will be defeated with prayer, because the God that answers prayer with signs & wonders is still alive.

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, & by the power in the Blood of Jesus, in this year 2021, you will never be a victim to whatever calamity, affliction, or tragedies flying around in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Shalom!
