HOPE DOES NOT FAIL


Romans 5:5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (NIV)


When we study the Word of God He does not only produce faith in us but also hope. Only the Word gives genuine hope because it has basis. The Word is truth, what He tells us is true. This truth is the foundation or basis of our hope. And such hope does not put us to shame.


You may have hoped and waited for God's word concerning a particular issue in your life to come to pass but nothing has happened yet. Don't lose hope. You might have thoughts that the Word has failed and there is no need hoping. Those thoughts are wrong and aimed to destroy your hope. Listen! Hope built on God's Word does not fail. Keep your hope alive!


The Bible says "God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." This is the reason our hope in His word cannot fail, because He loves us He keeps to His word. 

While you keep your hope alive there are three things you should do; be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer.


Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.


Some hope or expectations are cut off when these three are not in place. Consciously rejoice in your hope or expectation. Be exuberant about the Word you receive; be patient when things are not going well yet; be faithful, devoted and focused in prayer. When these are in play your hope will come to reality.


CONFESSION


Because God’s love is poured into my heart through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to me my hope shall not fail. I am hopeful in hope, I am joyful in hope, patient in time of hardships, faithful and fervent in prayer, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
