Post date: Feb 17, 2014 5:01:49 AM

Placing your hope in God is never a waste, will never be a failing exercise, and will never be in vain irrespective of what people are saying and what they may be doing to you. The God you serve is the Almighty God who alone created all things through the power of His spoken words; He also sustained all the things He created through the power of that same word and all things are dependent upon His sustaining power. Through your sustained hope, God is capable of doing new things and restoring things that had been lost and forgotten in your live.

Hope is the power of living actively in the hands of the Almighty God according to His words, it is submitting oneself under the power of the word of God which are always effective and active in manifesting its purposes; it gives assurance to a healthy Christian life and relationship with God. Without trusting God absolutely in, and for all things, there is no need to be hopeful for anything from Him. Prayer is expressing our trust, hope and reliance on Him and His ability. When we fail to pray, we will cease to be hopeful despite our dreams and desires; when we cease to pray, we will not be able to see our dreams and desires manifested through Him; when we cease to pray, we also cease to effective in the things we have been promised by God; but when we pray, we increase our hope and our chances of being and see what God had promised. Hope and trust are twines that keep us in line with what God had promised us in life.  

There are great rewards in being hopeful in the words of God, in the power of His name, in the things He can and will do, and in what you will become tomorrow in His hands despite what you are today. God is looking for those who are hopeful and will remain hopeful after believing in His word and His ability. Without hoping in the power of God, there is no need to pray and no need to trust. God has unfailing promises to everyone who believes in and hopes in Him. 

Hope in God will definitely take away all shame from you, will confirm the words of God in you and will establish you in the place He had promised. Your unfailing hope in God can change your life and your expectations completely, can put your enemies to shame, and can do greater things than your imagination in everything that concerns you. Irrespective of feelings, your daily experiences, your views of things now and that which is to come, there are great rewards in having and sustaining your hope in God.

“Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:26-31

Never let down your hope in God because of adversities and delays; never give up your hope in God because of any form of frustration and denial; never let down your hope in God because of the plans and activities of the devil. Let your hope be your strength in time of temptation and prayers, let your hope be strengthen in the promises that are in the words of God for you in life. God will never disappoint you, He will never forsake you and He will never allow men to destroy you.

Hope is waiting on God for His supernatural intervention, for the renewal of your strength, for the confirmation of His promise in your life and for the establishment of your request. Your hope in God will restore your glory, your honor and your joy. For prayers, Click here
