Sermon note (3rd svc)The importance of hope.
Hebrews 11:1
Chapter 11
By Faith We Understand
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is the substance of things hope for. Faith latch on hope!!
God wants every single one of His children to wake up everyday to be confident expectation of good!
Romans 5:1-2
Faith Triumphs in Trouble
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
We have peace with God. God is no longer against us! Jesus took all of it! We have peace with God. We can have peace in our hearts through all that Jesus has done for us.
Through Jesus we can have access by faith!!
Because of Jesus we have an access of this special place called Favor Ground! This is called GRACE!!
Favor is unmerited undeserved. Because we are on grace ground we can expect to experience the glory of God.
Moses asked God to show him His glory. God told Moses i will cause all my goodness to pass before u.
God’s glory is God’s goodness!
We can expect the glory of God to be manifest in our lives.
When we are under grace but have not experienced the glory, we rejoice in HOPE. We don’t give up. We rejoice in HOPE! Hope is having confident expectation of good even though things have not yet changed.
Hope. Minister hope into life.
Hope came back into life. Faith latch on hope.
Romans 5:5
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
This hope, pls don’t hope in people. U will be disappointed. Hope not in human being. Hope in God! If u hope in yourself u will be disappointed in yourself. Hope in good God who can do good for us! This hope don’t disappoint.
Jesus has defeated death and seated at the right hand of the Father. Whatever we are hoping for In Christ, we can never be disappointed!!
When we hope in God, hope will not disappoint. At the cross, this hope was poured out. At the cross, Jesus did not just descend He ascend as well!
When we hope in Him, this hope cannot be disappointed!
Zechariah 9:11-12
God Will Save His People
“As for you also,
Because of the blood of your covenant,
I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.
Return to the stronghold,
You prisoners of hope.
Even today I declare
That I will restore double to you.
Restore double to me! Hope! Jesus shed His blood so that we are under the new covenant called grace! We are blessed not because of anything we have done. We are blessed based on the unmerited favor of God!!
Prisoner of Hope!!
We will get double of His blessings of all our troubles!
We can have confident expectation of His goodness and blessings!!
Hosea 2:14-15
“Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
Will bring her into the wilderness,
And speak comfort to her.
I will give her her vineyards from there,
And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope;
She shall sing there,
As in the days of her youth,
As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
Experience His glory! His glory will lift us up in the valley of troubles!
We can have confident expectation of good!!
Delivered from all the curses!
We are in the grace revolution season!!
Revolution is a dramatic transformation!
Meditating on the Word. Encounter Jesus!
Have a revolution. Meet with Jesus. Encounter His grace!
Fresh revelation that God really loves me!!
When revelation happen, revolution happen!!!
A turnaround, a transformation happen in my life!!
A grace revolution is an explosive revelation of Jesus in our heart!!
Fresh revelation God really really loves me!!
Love came like madness.
The Son of heaven came from highest heaven to lowest, went to the cross to be nailed for me!!
Because of that, all my sins are not just swept aside, they are paid for!!
He paid for all!! All my sins are forgiven!!
God ONLY has nothing but GOOD for me!!!
He paid for ALL and gave me ALL, and ONLY GOOD for me!!
Grace revolution happen !!
He poured His whole life for me!! This is madness! His love poured out like madness for me!!!
Hope and faith spring out in our hearts when we encounter Jesus!!!
I can expect good!!
Faith has something to latch on to!!
We are inside the ark. No matter what the storm is outside, we are protected! We can expect glory which is goodness!! We are saved! Nothing shall by any means harm us!!
God has held us in the palm of His hands!!
God said to me, “I am His!”
What are u going thru today?
