WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  OUR HOPE IS IN JESUS

We as children of God have hope in him. We find we have a feeling of excited expectation when we think about our future home in heaven. We should have hope in what God is going to do for us.

People all down through life have debated and struggled with the thought of resurrection. Many debated if life ended with our physical death. Many at that time doubted the resurrection of Jesus. Many still do today.

Paul wrote in I Cor 15:19 — If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

This verse is to reassure believers that Jesus didn’t die just to improve our lives here, he wanted to give us hope of the eternal. He didn’t die to give us our best life now. He died to set us free in this life, but he also died to restore our relationship so that we can be with him for all of eternity.

Jer. 29:11-13 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Expected end is that we will be with Jesus for all of eternity. He wants us to search for him with all our hearts. He wants to know he has first place in our lives. The word hope means to have a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. Everything we could ever hope for can be found in Jesus.

He wants us to search for him with all of our heart. He has promised if we search with all of our heart that he will allow us to find him. Deep desire for his presence will bring his presence.

Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Our focus needs to be on the hope that we have that God will never leave us alone. He is our hope, our peace and our joy. As the world grows darker, we need to hold on to our hope that Jesus holds us in his hand.

The enemy will come along and test us. He will try to get us down. We have to fight back with praise and worship of our one and only true God. We will find a new infusion of joy which the enemy hates. Why does he hate for us to have joy? Because we gain strength to overcome, with the joy of the Lord.

Be encouraged today, do not allow the enemy to overwhelm you. Our hope and all our strength is in Jesus.

Thanks for watching,

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
