WORDS OF HOPE

Let's assume the Isrealites disobeyed the LORD and He turned His back against them. His anger was kindled against them and they suffered severely. One thing about the Isrealites is that they always turn back to God when God cautions them. It is not good that they kept repeating the same mistake; serving other gods and forsaking the ways of God. The Isrealites can be likened to an average Christian today, making the same mistakes and going to God for forgiveness. Each time they repented and turned to God He took them back; that is those who had survived the punishment. And the LORD gives them that which isgood; and yield her increase. Righteousness goes before them and set in the way of their steps. Amen

Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a Sun and Shield; the LORD will give grace and glory, no good thing withheld from them that walk upright. Amen For the LORD God is a Sun He is the light of the world And a Shield The protector or security system for all believers He gives grace The fuel for sustaining man in a Sinful world And glory The reward and presence of the Most High Nothing good shall be withheld God certainly wants the best for us. He knows how to pamper us. He is a father who's heart beats for our wellbeing. From those who walk uprightly? How do you walk uprightly? By building a relationship with God through prayer, reading and meditating on the word, worshipping and fasting. Automatically you end up living right.

Psalm 85: 1-13 The Isrealites disobeyed the LORD and He turned His back against them. His anger was kindled against them and they suffered severely. One thing about the Isrealites is that they always turn back to God. It's not good that they kept repeating the same mistake, serving other gods. Their attitude can be likened to an average Christian today, making the same mistakes and going to God for forgiveness. Each time they turned to God He took them back;those that had survived the punishment. And God gives them that which is good and their land yield her increase. Righteousness goes before them and set in the way of their steps.

imagine someone treating you the same way you treat others, how would you feel? Does it sound good to be at the receiving end of treatment? Some people tolerate other's behaviour because they prefer not to put up a fight but why discomfort others? Whatever goes around comes around.

Mark 14:32-42 Jesus Prays In Gethsemane The Theme for the bible text is Sincerity. We all have secrets, at least one that we have vowed not to share with anyone. Have you gotten to the point where you break down and blur out your emotions irrespective of where you are? I have! in the absence of people, yes! no one was around. When the time of death was near, Jesus broke down, sincerely, He wanted to escape the misery He was about to be put through. There are times when you want out, even when you are aware that God is training you. Right now I wish I had everything I've prayed for, a stress-free life, living my dream along side fulfilling my purpose. How about you? Blur it all out to God and He would strengthen and comfort you, if you are in His season, believe me, it is worth it.

ASSIGNMENT Study 2 Kings 7:1 and submit a summary, giving the points and include your lessons. 2 Kings 7:1 is a prophesy given by Elisha to the King and the people of Israel. Right after the word was given one of the Lords in the King's Palace voiced his doubts. Elisha then gave an prophesy that the doubter would witness it happen all right, however he would not live to enjoy it. Four lepers who were at the point of death decided to go to the Syrian camp and seek for food, God made their footsteps sound like warriors so the Syrians fled. Upon arrival the lepers found the camp empty and informed the king. Once again the Lord doubted it so the king had to send a few men to check, after the confirmation, the same Lord was assigned at the gate to keep the people in check however they trod upon him and he died. The prophesy given was fulfilled. I would explain the bible texts under four topics. Prophesy is the first topic. The LORD gave a word to Elisha for the Israelites as they
