DON’T LOSE HOPE

By -

 ‘Out of the stump of David’s family will grow a shoot— yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root.’  Isaiah 11:1 

Stump is the part of a plant and especially a tree remaining attached to the root after the trunk is cut. 

The Scripture also says in Job 14:7-9 “Even a tree has more hope!  If it is cut down, it will sprout again and grow new branches. Though its roots have grown old in the earth and its stump decays,
at the scent of water it will bud and sprout again like a new seedling.”
These Bible chapters merely tell you that you should not give up hope,  regardless of your condition or circumstances, but you just have to believe in God and wait on Him.
‘The water’ talking about in verses 9 of Job chapter 14 is the Spirit of God. If the Spirit of God is introduced into the dead situation, it will certainly come to life.  The breath of God is life as can be confirmed by Genesis 2:7  ‘Then the lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.’
If God can grow a shoot out of the stump and a new limb carrying the fruit of the old root. He can bring the beauty out of your ashes. Don’t lose hope but just believe in Him.

THE END MAY COME SUDDENLY

  Bodija, Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria experienced a sudden explosion that caused some people to lose their lives unprepared. According to the Scripture, Christ will come back without any prior notice, just like a thief in the night. You might be pondering that it's been a long time since people talked about His second coming, but He hasn't made an appearance yet. In the event of your sudden death, do you have a chance of eternity in heaven? Can you boast that your final destination won't be a place of torment? Jesus came into this world to give you life and make it more abundant (John 10:10). God sent Him to make it possible for anyone who believes in Him to have eternal life (John 3:16). Nothing you acquire in this world can compare to the eternity in heaven. What's the benefit of gaining the whole world but losing your soul? (Mark 8:36).  Don't be caught napping. Accept Christ as your Lord and Savior today and secure your eternal home.

Then the leaders of the tribe of Levi came to consult with Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders of the other tribes of Israel. They came to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said, “The lord commanded Moses to give us towns to live in and pasturelands for our livestock.” So by the command of the lord the people of Israel gave the Levites the following towns and pasturelands out of their own grants of land. (Joshua 21:1-3)  Despite the Lord's command that lands should be given to the tribe of Levy, they have the responsibility of asking again and reminding the leaders of what God had instructed. God made many promises to us, but we need to ask and remind Him of them. You should realize that God never forgets, asking indicates our trust in Him and His ability to fulfill His promises.  The last verse of the chapter says ‘Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true’

FREE INDEED

 Upon arrival at the site, I noticed a dove tied down by one of my employees. When I requested its release, he stated his intention to sell it. After asking for the price, he informed me, and I asked him to release the bird, which he did, and then I paid for it.  The Scripture says “When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.” Romans 5:6. By paying the price with his precious blood, Jesus Christ made it possible for us to be set free and welcome into God's family. Ephesians 1:5 “God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.”  Our new status as His slaves necessitates us to do His pleasure and avoid taking things for granted. Romans 6:22 say “But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life”.  We are free from condemnation
