My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less Than Jesus’ Blood And Righteousness

1-Samuel_2-2: There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God

My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less Than Jesus’ Blood And Righteousness
I Dare Not Trust The Sweetest Frame,
But Wholly Lean On Jesus Name.

On Christ, The Solid Rock, I Stand;
All Other Ground Is Sinking Sand,
All Other Ground Is Sinking Sand.

When Darkness Seems To Veil
His Face,
I Rest On His Unchanging Grace;
In Every High And Stormy Gale,
My Anchor Holds Within The Veil.

His Oath, His Covenant, And Blood,
Support Me In The Whelming Flood;
When All Around My Soul Gives Way,
He Then Is All My Hope And Stay.

When He Shall Come With Trumpet Sound,
Oh, May I Then In Him Be Found;
Dressed In His Righteousness Alone,
Faultless To Stand Before The Throne.
Amen!

1-Samuel_2-2: There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God

Jeremiah_17-7-2: Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

Jeremiah_17-7-2: Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

Psalms_31-24-2: Be of good courage, and he shall strenghten your heart: all ye that hope in the Lord. God Is All Powerful

For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Ecclesiastes 9:4

Read: Luke 7:11-15
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

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

It is so awesome to experience God’s favour. One day of God’s favour is better than a lifetime of labour. One of the awesome things that God’s favour delivers to you is unsolicited help. When your day of favour dawns, help will be volunteered to you; you will not be the one asking to be helped; instead, your destiny helpers will offer to help you. In John 5:2-9, we see a man at the pool called Bethesda, who had been there for 38 years. All those who were assisting him when he just got there had all gotten tired and left. He was now on his own. While other people had someone to help them, he had no one to help him (John 5:7). It is a very frustrating experience, when all those who were helping you become fed up of doing so. They can even discourage interested people from being of help to you. In this state of helplessness and hopelessness, his day of favour dawned, as Jesus Christ went through the crowd of sick folks to meet him. When the Lord met him, he offered him healing by asking, “Would you like to be healed?” That very hour, this man went home healed, while others watched in amazement.

Another recipient of volunteered help was the widow of Nain in our Bible reading. Just after she lost her husband, her only son also died. On this fateful day, she was already on her way to the graveyard for her son’s burial. She was not asking for any help. In any case, what help could anyone render to the dead? Yet, Jesus stopped the procession to the graveyard, raised the boy back to life and left, even without being invited. Sometime ago, while rounding up a programme we held at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, God asked me to tell everyone in the congregation to ask for a special gift from him. In that meeting, a particular lady was there. She had trusted God for a husband for years, but she remained single, and now she had attained menopause.

On that blessed day, she said to God, “The time to ask for a husband has passed. Having a husband now has no more meaning. I will just worship you till I die. So there is no need to bother you.” Two weeks later, a brother came to ask her hand in marriage. “You have come to the wrong person. Please go and pray again“, she said. Bewildered, he asked her why. She told him, “I have passed the age of child-bearing. Or don’t you want children?” But to her surprise, he exclaimed, “Glory be to God! You are surely the one I need!” Unknown to her, this man was a widower who already had children. He wanted a mother for his children. They got married, and she got pregnant, eventually being delivered of a set of twin boys. This season, the Lord will volunteer help to you. He will intervene even without being invited.

Psalms_28-7: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Don’t lose your hope for any reason; but if you do, look up to God and He will restore it.

Never give up

Jeremiah_17-7-2: Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

Jeremiah_17-7-2: Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

Romans 5:5 (KJV)

Hebrews_11-1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen

Hebrews_11-1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen

When the world is hoping for something there is room for failure. The hope of the world may or may not be accomplished. It is dependent on the subject matter. This is very different from the hope we have as believers. In fact it is the direct opposite, because the hope of the believer has no room for failure at all. It is a confident expectation of good. It is built on what is infallible, errorless, and impregnable. It is built on the word of God, which upholds all things (Hebrews 1:3).

The hope of the believer is the kind that Abraham had; against all hope (the hope of the world, human hope), he believed in hope (biblical hope) “[. . .] that he might become the father of many nations according to that which was spoken [. . .]” (Romans 4:18, KJV). Abraham’s hope was not disappointed. Do you realise that faith cannot work if it is not linked to this hope that does not disappoint (Hebrews 11:1)?

After Abraham waited patiently he received the promise (Hebrews 6:15). I encourage you to hold on in the same way. Never give up because your hope cannot be disappointed. God has sworn by Himself that He cannot lie. It is impossible for God to lie. If He said it, you can go to bed with confident expectation that what He has said will occur. We have this hope as an anchor to our soul; it is very firm and secure. You can go to the bank with this hope. Everything else may fail, but the word of God will not because it lives and abides forever. I will hear your testimony.

Why Are You Doubting God? When All Hope Is Lost, God Will Prove Himself As God. God Is Never Late

James_1-17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning

“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.”

Genesis 17:1

When God made a promise to Abraham, He could have given him a child immediately but he wanted to prove Himself God in the situation. But Abraham not understanding the Almightiness of God went on to produce Ishmael by his own plan. In the next thirteen years, God never spoke to Abraham. God left him alone. How dare you think God’s promise will not come to pass? Why are we taking laws into our hands? Why are you doubting God? Thirteen years later, God came to Abraham and introduced Himself as “El-shadai” meaning He is God that He is. God that does what He wants when he wills. He said to Abraham; walk before me and be perfect. And He waited till Abraham became a hundred years and Sarah was ninety years old.

2-Corinthians_12-9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me

2-Corinthians_12-9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me

When all hope was lost, God came to prove Himself as God. He visited Sarah as He said and did unto her as He has spoken (Genesis 21:1). This year, God is giving us an assurance that what He has started is guaranteed to be perfected. He will surely perfect everything concerning you. Philippians 1:6 gives the confidence of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect

No, you will not end in regret. If no one testifies, you will testify. The lines will fall for you in pleasant places. The God we serve is never late. He will do it! You will celebrate. You will dedicate your babies and you will dedicate your houses, cars and companies. Get ready to jubilate. You have been on the floor for too long. God is putting you as the candlestick where you are going to shine because it your time to shine. You are entering the big league. You will be signing in billions, welcome to the Big league. It will happen by God’s supernatural intervention. Your Heavens are open. Walk now into your abundance.

Gwen stopped by the dress shop every few days to look at the gown she had picked out. Though it was a couple of sizes smaller than she wore, she dreamed of the time she could fit into it. It was a perfect gown. She could visualize in her mind’s eye how stunning she would look in it. For the next month, Gwen stuck to a strict diet and made her dream a reality. She lost the two sizes and bought the dress she wanted so badly. We need our dreams, hopes, and plans to make it through our diets. Hope helps us strengthen our faith and makes our dreams come true.

Today’s thought: Hoping helps believing!

At the End of Your Rope is God

At the End of Your Rope is God

Acts 16:25-26 says: “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bands were loosed.”

Wow! Here we see Paul and Silas in prison, hopelessly bound and facing something beyond their physical strength, their emotional capacity, and their intellectual plans. The power of the devil and the plans of the dragon had been executed against righteous men, but they didn’t let it affect them. They didn’t get bitter. They were not filled with unforgiveness, and they didn’t allow hurt feelings to overtake them. They knew where they were, but in their darkest hour they began to sing and pray. And when they prayed, that prison broke apart. Doors flung open, and the foundation of the prison was destroyed. This is what God is waiting to do in the midst of your hopelessness. Are you at the end of yourself and your own strength? Then you are at the beginning of God. Are you at the end of your rope? Then you are at the beginning of the cross. God is waiting to move on your behalf, so pray!

Don’t wait, but do it right now!

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Help For The Helpless

Help for the Helpless

“Jesus asked him, ‘Do you want to be well?” -John 5:6

Jesus was walking through Jerusalem. Think New York City. That’s what Jerusalem
was – the metropolitan gathering spot. It was crowed with all kinds of people. Eventually,
Jesus passed by a pool called Bethesda.” This pool was believed to have magical
powers. Many believed that when the waters were stirred, the first one to enter
the pool would be healed. So, hundreds of sick people were lying by this pool,
watching and waiting for their opportunity to be healed.

One man had been waiting 38 years for his miracle! He was a paralytic and he had
lain there for nearly four decades! Every day he watched. Every day he waited.
Every day he hoped for his chance! Would today be the day…finally?

Jesus sees this man and asks him, “Do you want to be well?”

What a question! Why else would he wait there that long? But in truth, this is one
of the most salient questions we can be asked, “Do you want to be well?”

Why wouldn’t this man have wanted to be well? Well, it would mean that his way of
life would be forever changed. He would have to learn how to fend for himself instead
of living off handouts. He would have to risk standing up, falling (a likelihood
since he hadn’t stood on his legs for so long), and looking like a fool.
It meant he would have to change. He would have to let go of his old life and learn
a new one.

But he did say yes. And so Jesus gave His prescription for getting well. He said,
“Get up!” And the man GOT UP! He picked up his mat – the same mat that had carried
him – and walked! He walked into his new life! He walked into his miracle!

Get up. Walk into your miracle today!

PRAYER:

Lord, I feel helpless. But You are help for the helpless. You are hope for the hopeless!
I want to be made whole! I want to have the strength to get up! I reach out my hand to
You, today, and grab onto You. Pick me up, Lord, in Jesus Christ Name I pray! Amen.

What is holding you back from getting up and saying “yes” to your miracle today?

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

The hope of surrender


Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglica...

Image via Wikipedia

The hope of   surrender

Luke writes, “Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in   favor with God and men.” (Luke 2:52) We know very little about the years   that Jesus spent growing into manhood. However, we can surmise that He grew   emotionally, mentally, and physically. Like us, God’s Son had to develop, and   we can imagine that while He was sinless, He learned how to live through the   circumstances of life.

There are many people today who are suffering – not because they have   sinned or resisted God, but because the Lord has chosen to develop their   lives through difficulty and hardship. In the first chapter of 2 Corinthians,   Paul does not gloss over the fact that he suffered. At one point, he believed   there was a strong possibility that he would die. However, God spared his life,   and Paul was able to write about the hardships he faced with such hope that   many who read his letters also declared faith in Jesus Christ.

God cannot mold and shape our lives unless we are willing to surrender   and to be transparent before Him. These are prerequisites to experiencing a   breakthrough in our trials and sufferings. We have no idea of the   difficulties that Christ faced as a young man – the Gospels do not record   them. Yet, we know that as an adult, He suffered and died on the cross for   our sins so that we might have eternal life. He was not ashamed of the   calling that God had given Him. Now, all glory is His, and He is seated at   the right hand of the Father interceding in prayer for us each day.

Stop looking at the trials of your life with thoughts of regret and   horror. Learn to rest in God’s care, and allow Him to work in your life to   the fullest. When you do, you will discover that He has a tremendous blessing   waiting for you. Not only will you grow to be like Him, you will be a   testimony of His grace and hope to a troubled world.

May God Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend them from all their enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

There is hope for you


the Gospel of MatthewTHERE IS
HOPE FOR YOU

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 (Romans 15:13)

Hope is the
positive expectation of a desired end. It’s a virtue that gives you strength and
a purpose. Only Jesus Christ can give you extraordinary hope. When you have
that kind of hope, you’ll be propelled to look forward to tomorrow with
excitement, because hope is for the future. It’s to expect with confidence; to
cherish a desire with anticipation of a positive outcome.

We find an
example of this from the story of the woman who had an issue of blood for
twelve years. She had spent all her earnings on medical bills, but instead of
getting better, she only got worse. She heard about Jesus, and on a certain
day, came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His clothes, “For she said within herself, if I may but
touch his garment, I shall be whole”
(Matthew 9:21).

As soon as
she touched the hem of Jesus’ garment her bleeding ceased, and she immediately
knew she was healed. She didn’t need anybody to confirm her healing; she just
accepted it and that was it.

Though the
woman had become desperate, having found herself in a hopeless situation for
twelve long years, hope came to her when she heard that the Master was healing people.
Her hope translated to faith when she told herself “I’m going to touch His
clothes and be healed!” never think the situation you might be facing is too
hopeless, for no problem is insurmountable.

There’s hope
for you in Christ Jesus! It makes no difference the medical conditions you’ve
been diagnosed with or the state of your finances; cheer up, there’s hope for
you. The Bible says Christ in you, the
Hope of Glory
(Colossians 1:27). Look forward to tomorrow with excitement,
keep your hope alive. Nurture it to the point it can’t be denied. You too can
be healed! You can achieve that desire in your heart. It’s not over for you
yet, see the ray of light in the horizon, for there’s a miracle for you right
now in that situation for which you require a change. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

Thank be unto God Who has given me
freely all joy and peace in believing, that I may abound in hope through the
power of the Holy Ghost! My life is from glory to glory because Christ in me my
assurance for the upward and forward life, in Jesus Name! Amen!

May Our God The
Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus
Christ Name, Amen!

Faith, Hope and Love


Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglica...

Image via Wikipedia

And now abideth faith, hope, love,
these three, but the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13)

Faith, Hope
and Love are the three creative principles of the human spirit. They are also
abiding principles, as indicated in our opening verse. This means that when all
else fail, these tree principles will remain; they’ll never pass away.

Animals
don’t have and can’t exhibit these principles, for they are qualities of the
human spirit. They are factors that help us understand and appreciate the
yearnings of the human nature. They help explain why we are the way we are, and
why we do things the way we do. When you get to understand faith, hope, and
love, you’ll understand yourself much better and also understand things about
God that you never knew.

Like all
laws, these three principles of faith, hope, and love don’t function on their
own; they must be applied or acted upon. Faith, hope and love are in your
spirit, but that doesn’t mean they are going to work on their own. You’re the
one to make a choice to act your faith, to always be hopeful towards God and to
walk in love.

With your
faith, you can do anything (Matthew 17:20): then, Romans 5:5 tells us, that
hope never disappoints.

The reason
hope doesn’t disappoints is that the love of God is shed abroad in our heart by
the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). Love in your heart gives life to your faith, for
the Bible says faith works by Love (Galatians 5:6). When you activate these
three principles in your life, you’ll be extraordinarily productive.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank You for granting
me understanding of faith, hope and love; I function today with these higher
principles of the kingdom, and declare that they’re producing positive
supernatural results as I put them to work
in my life, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
