DAILY DIVINE WORD 4TH FEBRUARY 2022

TOPIC: WHAT GIVES YOU HOPE?

TEXT:
1John.3.2 - Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.1John.3.3 - And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Hope is the fuel for life, once there's no more hope, life becomes boring and meaningless. The passion, zeal and drive to live and work harder is a product of how active and healthy our hope is. No man can live without hope. The question is where does your hope comes from, because what drives your hope will determine what you do and become with life.

The text above gave us a quick check into what should drive our hope as a child of God. The Bible says whoever look to becoming like God when he's sees him have a certain hope and whoever has this hope will purify himself just as God. The hope of seeing God someday will make you want to prepare always to be ready to be like God!

The Bible says "Christ in us, the hope of glory." If the essence of your living isn't to please God, or to do his will or you're looking up someday to become like him, you might be pursuing the wrong thing. The only hope that can fail is the one that hang on things that are imperishable (that is things not seen) because they can't fade. What you do with your life determine what drives your hope. 

THINK TANK: What really drives your hope?

CONFESSION: I long to behold Christ someday because Christ in me, the hope of glory.

IT'S ALREADY PREPARED

DAILY DIVINE WORD  (A Sunset Devotional) 26th July, 2025 THEME : It's Prepared Already. SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE : Mark 14: 12-15: 12 - Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?" 13 - And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 14 - Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, "The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"' 15 - Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us." If a man knows what has been prepared for him and when exactly it will come to him, maybe we would worry less, maybe we won't even be anxious over anything as the scripture advised us. But, the mystery about life and about walking with...

DAILY DIVINE WORD 26TH JANUARY 2021

TOPIC: GUARD YOUR FREEDOM. TEXT:  1Cor.8.9 - But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 1Cor.8.10 - For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 1Cor.8.11 - And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 1Cor.8.12 - But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 1Cor.8.13 - Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. TRUTHFULLY  Christ came to deliver freedom to us, Christ's freedom is also freedom indeed because He says "if the son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed." He has given us freedom from traditions, laws, old practices, superstitions, tales, and the likes. So we have liberty in J...

DAILY DIVINE SUNSET DEVOTIONAL

DAILY DIVINE SUNSET DEVOTIONAL 4th May 2023   TOPIC : Living with Power   TEXT :  Acts 1:6-8 [ 6]When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? [7]And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. [8]But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. MANY people had thought that to make impact in life has to deal with having plenty money, while the Bible actually says money answers all things, we must understand that the Bible does not say money rules affairs. Also many people believes that mercy is the only key that opens a meaningful life, while that might be true, if mercy will not deliver Power to any one, the impact might be minimal. Many rich people w...
