REFLECTIONS 🙄

Believe the report of the Lord
Romans 4:18
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be.

Hebrews 11 is sometimes referred to as the “Hall of Fame” for the men and women in the bible who had great faith.

There are names like Abraham which is mentioned in the verse above, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rahab etc.

The outstanding thing about each of the people mentioned is that they believed in the report of the Lord or biblical principles.

Some like Abraham and Sarah had to hold onto the promise of the Lord for several years. They had their promised child when Sarah was 90 years old and Abraham was 100 years.

Some did not even receive the promise but believed till their dying day. What are you expecting from the Lord?

Is it an excellent report from school, though you are struggling with your studies? God said He will make you the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). Keep studying and believing.

Or you are expecting to excel or becoming an expert in your career though you still have a lot to learn? God says ,you can ask for wisdom.(James1:5-6). Keep working hard and hoping against hope

Maybe in your heart, you really want to win souls for the Lord but you do not know how to go about it and you are so scared. God says fear not, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. (Isaiah 41:10). Keep believing and making the best of every opportunity you get.

Believe the report of the Lord no matter what happens.
God be with you

Suggestions for success
1. Study the word of God thoroughly so you will know which to apply in every situation.
2. You can begin by memorizing the key verse in your quiet time or morning devotion everyday.

Prayer
Think about the words of this lullaby sang to baby Jesus from a musical play acted by Calvary Road Singers years ago

The night is here my little one
Try not to cry
And though the night seems dark my child
The morning will come again
Now close your eyes and sleep for a while
Don’t be afraid
Morning will come
So sleep. Amen
