When All Hope Seem Lost... -Part 3



Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” - John 20:27


We continue in the third part of hat we should do when Hope seem Lost. First step is to be COURAGEOUS, second step is to FEAR NOT. Third step is to BELIEVE GOD


 Step 3 – Believe God, “Wherefore, sirs… I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me”. A teenager was dying of tuberculosis and at that time there was no cure. He heard of a minister visiting his town who was praying for the sick, and he told his brother to take him there. Although his body was dying, his spirit still believed God. That night the preacher lifted him up from his seat, anointed him with oil and commanded the sickness to depart and it did. Remember in those days there was no medical cure for tuberculosis; in other words, all hope that he should be saved was taken away but he took courage, he removed fear and he believed God. He lived to be over 90 years of age. Friends be of good cheer, fear not and believe God.


In concluding this post, please know that problems are meant to be solved not feared, hardships are to be broken not stared at. Everyone faces problems so don’t make your own special. The Bible says your problems are common so don’t make them uncommon. Any problem you will face will be common but thank God for uncommon solutions. As a teacher will not give a year 2 student a year 6 examination so also God will not allow any problem that is beyond you to come to you. That problem cannot be beyond you or else God will be unfair but God is never unfair. So cheer up and take the bull by the horns and get on top of things with your faith that puts you above.


 For further Study
Mark 9:23, Luke 10:18-19.

Questions for you to reflect on
Have you ever overcome a major problem in your life?

How did you overcome?

Do you think you can overcome other problems?

 Personal declaration for the day
I will outlast my problems. My best days are ahead of me.


TGIF!!! Do have a pleasant day...😇🤗☺

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the  Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value.  Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva.  When
