THEME:
The Delayed Hope. III.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.”
Proverbs 13:12.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Mark 2:2-4.
“And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
The belief or expectation that something wished for can or will happen is hope, but when it refused to manifest, one tend to be discourage. Many things can bring about delay in hope, it could be God’s timing, evil forces or human traffic.
However, it takes strong determination to make dream come true, or release one’s delayed hope from such hindrance. In our today’s text four friends practically determine to bypass the human traffic that serves as hindrance to their bosom friend’s healing.
More so, these men were not deterred by the consequence of what they determine to do. They were battle ready to gainsay anyone that kick against their action of removing the roof of another person building.
In conclusion, although human traffic delayed their friend’s hope of seeing Jesus, but with their rugged determination, they achieve their goal. What is that thing hindering your hope, go to God in prayer to show you, how to bypass the problem. May God enlighten your heart as you seek Him in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not be weary. By God’s grace, I will see a way forward to my miracle.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, you are the only wise God. Please Lord, open the eyes of my understanding that I may see a way, where seems to be no way in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

THEME:
The Delayed Hope. II.

MEMORY VERSE:
“For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.”
Lamentations 5:17.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Daniel 10:12-13.
“Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
We open this series knowing full well that, *’Hope deferred makes the heart faint.’* And not forgetting the fact that time and season belong to God. With God when there is delay, it is a matter of time. And no time is like God’s time, for God’s time is the best time.
Nevertheless, Daniel in today’s text prayed and God answered his prayer that instant, but the results or answer to his prayers was delayed from getting to him by the evil force of his time. This is a pointer to the fact that, aside the principle of God’s time, the evil forces often cause delay, in order to prolong the negative experience of a believer.
However, a believer need to be consistent in righteousness, good works, and in prayers till the expectations become a reality. Beloved, hold on to God in that situation that seems to drown you and God will send help your way as you persist in calling Him.
Conclusively, our memory verse shed light on the likely experience, when there is a delayed hope. Saying: _”For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.”_ Dear friend, as you continue to look unto God, for a way out of your dilemma, God will surely prove Himself in your situations in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will be persistent in the place of prayers, till my change come.

PRAYER POINT:
Father Lord, you never forget your own, even in their dark moment. Please Lord, help me to remain steadfast and persistent in prayer in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.

Like it was established from the beginning, that Thanksgiving is an expression of gratitude to God. A culture of reverence for His unending love, uncountable blessings, kindness and mercy. A good way of returning glory to God Almighty.
Thanksgiving, is our testimony of God’s faithfulness towards us. The experience of Paul and Silas in our today’s text, is a confirmation that God dwells in the praises of his people. (Psalm 22:3) Even in the difficulty moments of our lives, God is with us and when we praise Him in that difficulty moment, He is glorified.
Meanwhile, it is important we have the understanding, that we are nothing without God. Then, we can give God the worship, praises and thanksgiving due to Him in whatever situation, we find ourselves.

Ephesians 5:19-20.
“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Moreover, 2 Corinthians 4:15 says; “For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.” Let’s not forget that giving thanks to God, is for our good, through which grace abound and must solely be for the glory of God.
Finally beloved in Christ, let’s cultivate the habit of thanksgiving from time to time, by giving God the glory for His blessings and that grace may abound in our lives. May you always have reasons to give thanks to God in Jesus name. Amen.
