Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!
Hope For A Better Tomorrow
Psalm 71:14 KJV
“But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more."
We, Brothers and Sisters, need to Walk In Hope and be a Hope Messenger to those who do not know Jesus. We fill our lives with things that have No Spiritual Value, cling to them as though it is in those things that bring Hope for something better. But Our Hope is and should be in the Coming of Jesus Our Savior and Lord. Our Hope should be that when we pass from this Life to the next that we can Stand Worthy before Jesus in the Account of Our Lives, that Grace is given to be able to enter into The Kingdom Of Heaven
Brothers and Sisters there are millions of people who have little or no Hope For A Better Tomorrow and most of that Hope is in the Flesh. We are to bring Hope into people’s lives all around us, the Hope Of Jesus as Savior and in Teaching them to make Jesus Lord Of Their Lives. This is The Hope For A Better Tomorrow!
Hebrews 11:1 KJV
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
In this season, this time of year, most are Hoping that someone cares enough about them to give them a gift of kindness, of love wrapped up in Material Things. But Our Hope is Eternal that gives Life for the Living and the Dead. We, Brothers and Sisters are The Evidence of Tomorrow, that is, if we have Learned to build a Relationship With Jesus in Making Him Lord.
Yes, we can Hope for a new car, a new job, for a wife, a husband, for children, for friends or anything else that would be godly, but let Our Hope not remain in these things, but in Jesus who is the Supplier Of All Our Needs.
Philippians 4:19 KJV
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
With that being said, Hope is not Equivalent to Greed. Some of you Ask and Hope for things that you should not, but only those things that would be Consumed With Your Flesh, an Ungodly Pleasure do they seek.
Our Hope should be to Seek those things that are Godly, that Praise, Honor and Glory that truly belong to Jesus. We must understand that Jesus already knows what we Hope For, what Our Needs are and even Our Greed’s.
Matthew 6:31-34 KJV
"31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof."
James 4:3 KJV
“Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts."
Our Hope is Learning to Trust Jesus that All Things are in His Hands. That Jesus is Our Hope For Tomorrow and that we Live each day in Receiving that which we Hope For, awaiting the Manifestation of His Glory in Our Lives!
If that in which we Hope for, will not bring us Closer to Jesus or bring others Closer to Jesus, then what does it profit? If I Hope For A Better Tomorrow how will it bring Praise, Honor and Glory to Jesus Our Lord? If I give a gift, feed a person and do it not because of Jesus, then it is OF THE FLESH, bring No Hope to those whom seek! How to those whom you give a Gift, Feed a Person do they KNOW the Hope that is in you…unless You Tell Them.
Many give to different organizations because they See To The Flesh and not to The Spirit. Many think that by giving, their Conscience is Clean, but Who brought the Cleansing? You can say all that you want that the things that you do are in The Name Of Jesus, but if Jesus is NEVER Spoken In Hope, then YOU or SOMEONE Else receives the Glory!!!! The message of Hope to all mankind, cannot be in a gift or food, but must be spoken, The Hope Of Glory!
Acts 2:38 KJV
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
I tell my neighbors all the time when they thank me, that they need to Thank Jesus and it is Because Of Jesus that I do what I do and not for the sake of my flesh.
Too many of you think well I give Hope by what I do or say without saying The Name Of Jesus, so then, Who receives the Glory In Hope? Did not Our Lord say that the Light that is us is to be Shown to all mankind of His Hope given to everyone?
Matthew 5:14-16 KJV
"14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Too many of you are doing Works but it is to the Satisfaction Of Your Flesh, it makes you Feel Good and by Your Flesh Jesus receives only a False Glorification! If you think that is “Just Okay”, because you, within yourself Thank Jesus, then consider these Scriptures…
Isaiah 29:13 KJV
"Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:"
Matthew 7:21-23 KJV
"21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Romans 10:9 KJV
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Brothers and Sisters be not like the World who think that Good Deeds is all that is necessary, but in Your Good Deeds Jesus MUST be Spoken in Hope of Eternal Life, in Hope of Salvation, in Hope For A Better Tomorrow through Jesus!
We have The Answer and that Answer should not be hidden in gifts or food. There is a dreadful day coming and in some parts is already here, that we will be Persecuted because of Our Faith, because of Our Hope, that even speaking the Name Of Jesus could bring death, so then, if you cannot do it now where we have peace, then what are you going to do when Death is at the door?
You can give a thousand gifts, feed millions of people, but unless they Know without a doubt that it was because of Jesus, then all these things are done in vain, to the glory of the flesh. Too many of you do not open your mouth except in the shadows where no one knows, that Jesus Is The Hope Of Glory…because Jesus is not really Your Hope, except that you believe that you are saved because you once confessed that Jesus was your savior. But as Jesus said, the Tree, the Branch MUST Bear Fruit and that Fruit only comes from Hope In Jesus As Lord over someone’s Life
John 15:1-4 KJV
"1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me."
Brothers and Sisters people are not going to know Why you do what you do unless you tell them and it has to be YOU, not a church, not a pastor or someone you feel is better at it then you. Salvation, Hope, is not a college degree, nor is it an ordination, but it is in the Lives that we Live, with, again I say WITH the Confession Of Jesus As Lord!!!
Too many of you hold to the Scripture that James said that Faith without Works is dead, but see the Nugget of that Scripture is the Faith Producing Works, that Our Confession is not only Seeing Works, but that within those Works, we, with our mouth’s do Confess Jesus to those whom Works are seen of, else they are Only Works that any flesh can do!!!
James 2:17-20 KJV
"17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"
So then, in conclusion, Our Faith must produce Hope for those around us, not just in deeds, but also with the Confess that Jesus is Savior and Lord over Our Lives, else how is anyone to know? They will conclude within themselves that we do what we do because we are “Good People” and Jesus is Not Glorified. Tell people the WHY, that Hope is knocking on Their Door for a Better Tomorrow!
Amen and Amen!!!
