The Future is Bright

I salute you in Jesus Name and welcome you to experience the Lord set you free and enlarge your territories as we share this post for the month of September.

I encourage you also to read the previous posts as they will bless you and if you have read them before, they will remind you what God is committed to do in your life.
 Visit also my website for more information.

Now, as we get into the topic above; The Future is Bright, I want to submit to you that if there is a target in your life the devil is aiming for, it is your Hope.
The devil knows that the day he kills your hope is the day he will finish you. In other words, when people suggest to you to read the Bible and in your heart you feel you have done that already and come to no help, when they tell you to pray and you feel you have done that too, when they say to trust God and you feel it should have worked by now, you are already prey to the devil.

So what can you do? Stay on this page and find out.
Every one of us has come to a place where we are surrounded by darkness and it doesn't appear that we can come out of it. There are times when you look behind you and feel tired of those experiences and you look ahead and it appears like an endless desert of similar circumstances, you want to come to the end but it doesn't appear like the end in near.

Look at this story

Acts 3

New King James Version (NKJV)

A Lame Man Healed

Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us. So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 

 This man had already seen Peter and John but Peter says, "Look at us". You wonder and I will tell you why.
It is because this man was used to seeing people who would or would not give him anything. He was used to asking but he was not used to expecting. Peter's statement made Him expect. In other words, he brought His hope alive and as it is well illustrated, when one has hope, then he can receive.

What I intend to do this month is to bring your hope alive again for all those things you have given up on. This is September and we have just entered into the last quarter of the year 2013. Are you still hoping for the same things your were hoping when the year began? Why are you not if you ain't? Did you achieve them already or did you lose hope? Are you still hoping for your deliverance? Are you still praying for your loved ones and  friends hoping that they will be transformed? Are you still hoping for that healing? Are you still hoping to go to school? Are you still expecting to get a spouse or have you resolved to "if it is God's will". Are you still hoping to get a job or have you, like this man, turned to asking without expecting? Are you still believing that this is your time to: get married, start that business, acquire that land, launch that idea, see the miracles of God? Have you lost hope for the future or do you still think it is bright?

It is time to ask again and expect!!! It is time to pray again and believe!!! It is time to try again and hope!!!
Well, look at this statement and keep confessing it,
    "WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE FUTURE IT IS BECAUSE THE FUTURE IS SO BRIGHT YOU CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT!!!"
