THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU

“Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth” John 11:32,43.

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: It is only faith that has no respect for time.

There is no problem free zone in life. Problem is the secret hand of God moving men from nothing to something. It takes God to win the battles of life (Psalms 124:1-6). When God is with you, you will have all round victory. It is only faith that has no respect for time.

According to John11:1-43, Lazarus was a friend of Jesus who had been dead for four days before the arrival of Jesus. Even when Mary and Martha sent for Jesus while Lazarus was still sick, the scripture made us understand that He didn’t show up but stayed where he was. Rather, Jesus said that the sickness was not unto death but for the glory of God to be manifested. When Jesus finally arrived the town of Bethany even when Lazarus was dead and buried, the story of Lazarus and his family was never the same.

 Therefore, as believers in Christ, no matter what circumstance you may be going through, the good news is that there is light at the end of the tunnel! The Bible records in Psalms 30:5b that weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. It does not matter how long you have been in that situation, there is hope for you. Don’t give up because when God is with you, you will have a supernatural commanding victory. When problems land on your door, don’t break down rather choose to break records because in every family and generation, there must be record breakers. 

Therefore, you must choose to be one.Do not measure enemies by their size but by the size of your God. When problems show up, you do not have to see problem but see God in the midst of the problems (Exodus 14:13-14). God has the answer to every problem that comes our way. Isaiah 43:2-6 captures the promise of God to always be with us. It says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, yourSavior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.  Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life”.

 Coming out of problems is possible when you treat God as God and giving Him the honour He deserves.

INSTRUCTION: Don’t lose hope. Fix your eyes on Jesus.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to come out of every problem of life, in Jesus Name.

QUOTE: When problems show up, some break down but others break records.
