Believe & Hope

Romans 4:16-18

There is a lot we can learn from Abraham.
There is something in Abraham we must not miss.
Abraham is not our ultimate example but he is a good example to us especially in the area of faith.

We can learn from Abraham because the scriptures call him our father.
He is a father of faith.
Sons and daughters learn from their father.
Children learn from their parents.

What can we learn from Abraham?
From Abraham we can learn faith.
Isaiah 51:2
If you take a look at Abraham's life, you will learn a lot about faith.

Faith is connected to grace.
You need God's grace for your faith!
Faith makes the promise sure.
When you dissect the faith of Abraham you will find hope and belief inside it.
Romans 4:18

The belief in God that Abraham had powered his hope.
Abraham had a hope that was more than ordinary.
Abraham could continue giving thanks despite situations appearing like God wasn't faithful because he operated in supernatural hope.

Abraham's hope was powered by his belief in God.
When your belief in God powers your hope, your hope becomes supernatural hope.
It takes supernatural hope to hope against hope.

Supernatural hope keeps you on the path that will make your God given faith to deliver.
Supernatural hope helps you to remain positive when you should be downcast.
We must keep believing and we should continue to stay hopeful, this was Abraham's secret. This was Abraham's faith.
Romans 4:19-22

Believing and hoping produces faith.
When faith is at work, there will be results.
When faith is at work, there will be testimonies.
True faith is unstoppable because it has supernatural hope which is powered by belief, believing has it's root in grace, and grace is from God.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
