Don't give up HOPE


The homeless is still homeless. And the poor is still poor. In today’s world and given present economic realities (unemployment, hunger, insecurity etc.), it is easy to give up hope.

The world is in chaos. The economic crisis continues as the oil crisis looms. War rages in many places and in some quarters, it’s a time of revolution.

Newspaper headlines don’t portray HOPE and the doom shown on TV isn’t encouraging either. Transportation fare has doubled, prices of food have become ridiculously high, house rent is (pay 2 years in advance) but amidst all of these, we cannot afford to give up HOPE.

Hope is something that every one of us needs to face life. Things don’t always go as we want it to. People disappoint us, plans fail, problems mounts, pressures of life intensifies and more but that doesn’t mean we should feel hopeless.

The worst thing that can happen to anyone is giving up hope. When you lose hope, nothing else matters. It is said that HOPE is the last thing you can leave a person and that’s exactly what I intend with this note.
Hope brings peace. Hope gives strength and scriptures say our hope is the word of God.

Don’t let anything or anyone make you give up HOPE. No matter the challenge you go through in life, always know that God can and will see you through. Before you had that challenge, God had the solution!

The hope that God gives does not vanish when the storms of life are raging because it is not based upon the circumstances of our lives. Our HOPE brings peace in the midst of the storm. Our HOPE is greater than sickness and diseases because He (GOD) is the greatest physician.
Our God is eternal and so is the hope that He gives. A hope for today and a hope for tomorrow. We have a God of all HOPE. We have a HOPE that is built on Jesus Christ that King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.


The world’s systems and governments may be failing but may I to announce to you that heavenly system and government never fails. God never closes down.

We all have times when it seems like the entire universe is out to get us, and we will never be able to laugh again, but I want to urge you to be strong and not give up HOPE (and believe) that things will get better.
Don’t give up on yourself because of what you see around you. With God, there is no hopeless situation. Don’t give up on your dreams; your dreams are not bigger than God.

Don’t give up on your dysfunctional family. God can fix anything. Don’t give up on your challenging relationship/ marriage.

God loves you with an everlasting love and regardless of what the present circumstances may seem like, your future has unlimited possibilities. You are not beyond the reach of God’s grace.

Never say God’s is through with me because He is not. With God, that which is broken can be mended. Dreams that have been crushed can be reborn. Out of defect can come a new beginning.

God is still on the throne and nothing shall be impossible with Him. God is our real father and He alone has the final say on our lives; not the world’s system and government or life’s situation.

Our HOPE is not based on wishful thinking but based on the ever living word of God.
It is only the word of God that promises; LOVE, JOY, PEACE, COURAGE, HEALTH, PROSPERITY, SECURITY, HOPE, STRENGHT, FORGIVENESS, HAPPINESS, ABUNDANCE, and ETERNAL LIFE no other word does…

Dear friend, I want to urge you to be brave enough to let go of your fears and HOPE in God. HOPE because God is working on your behalf. In all things God works for the good of those who love Him. ROMANS 8:28

May the Lord bless you, and may the Lord keep you. May the Lord make His face shine upon you and may He be gracious unto you. May the Lord prosper everything and anything you set out to do and may He give you Joy UNSPEAKABLE. Amen.

It is well with you… don’t give up HOPE
