WORDS OF HOPE

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

ISAIAH 64:4 Even to your old age and gray hair I am He. I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.God's existence is timeless. From your birth till your death. He is God, it would be a profit to experience Him. He gave you life. "I have made you." He wove you in your mother's womb, even before she attended antenatal care, He watched and cared for you till your time in the womb was due.His responsibility for you continued, "I will carry you." He would guide you, God is supposed and that is why things don't end well when your life is devoid of His guidance. "I will sustain tou," Every body needs support, we all need strength and that is how our God sustains us."I will rescue you; "danger calls for rescue and you can count on God for a rescue

GOD THE SUPREME RULER The LORD reigns. We rejoice during the reign of a good king. He is clothed in righteousness. He declares judgement and it is just. No evil dares stands in His way for He is consumed with fire. His voice is like thunder and lightening, demons tremble, mountains move and storms calm.Every man testifies of the righteousness of God and everyone seems His glory. No god can replace our God. He is more than we could ever ask for, He is a package and those who subscribe to Him are blessed.When He declared judgments, His children rejoice for the LORD has vindicated them.His place is above what eyes can see, He is exalted above all gods. If you love the LORD, you shall hate evil and when you do, the LORD would deliver you from the hand of the wicked.The righteousness projects the light of God, gladness is the portion for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous and give thanks at the remembrance of His Holiness.

Do you have expectations? Do you run through the week expecting nothing new? I use to find myself in this situation, I work in a firm which operates on shifts so on Sundays, it is renewed. With a timetable at hand I am aware of how my week would be hence I don't look forward to anything new. My week had been devoid of joy because my routine had become a regular activity then, the Holy Spirit drew my attention. I was praying about favour, when the Holy Spirit reminded me of my mindset. My work had been the same for a while because I allowed a timetable to define my week, expecting nothing new.I have changed my ways, I shall start my week with good expectations from above

Peter denied Jesus three times even after being told of what was about to happen. Not in a million years would I have expected Peter to be the rock upon which Christ would establish His church. Peter returned to fishing after the death of Christ, what would you have done? Denying Jesus Christ three times right infront of Him, guilt and shame would torment me forever. Jesus Christ went searching for Peter when He was resurrected from the dead. Finding Peter devastated, He assist him in getting a bountiFUL. catch; right then they knew it had to be Jesus Christ. After the catch they dined, Jesus Christ asked Peter on three counts if he loved Him. John 21:15-17"When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?' Peter said to Him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I Love you.' Jesus said to Him, 'Feed my lambs'"He said to him a second time, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter said to

 1 Samuel 2:1-10 HANNAH'S PRAYER H annah, a barren woman prayed onto God and He answered in His time. She made a vow to dedicate the child to God and she fulfilled it, she sent the child; Samuel, to serve the house of God.  What is your state in the face of troubles? Are you heartbroken? Are you discouraged? Are you in doubts? Does God seem powerless? Does the devil whisper weakening words to you and do you open your spirit to it? Normally, you are expected to grief in times of troubles, fear and panic should take over and then you are expected to word defeat and give in to temptation.  B ut! When you do the contrary, the devil is confused. Rubber is expected to melt when exposed to fire but when it doesn't; it becomes a mystery. And more and more fire would be exposed to it till a conclusion is made. Why should you rejoice in times of troubles, that is healthy for you and that is how you can survive. Does troubles prove the non-existence of God? Does night prove that the sun h
