Bible verse: Romans 15:13
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Message
Hope is defined as a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen.
Biblically, hope is the future hope of heaven and eternal glory which is bound up in the gift of eternal life.
Even though believers are bound to face disappointments such like bereavement, broken relationship, divorces, inability to get a job, failures, sickness, depressions but hope gives you the ability to overcome, trusting that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Jesus himself was met with disappointments as you can be read in Matthew 17:17, yet He continue doing good loosing no hope.
Yes! God offers to fill you with joy and peace, and you should know that through the power of the Holy Ghost your hope is solid and grounded in the word of God.
Our hope in Christ is the assurance of being saved from the punishment our sins deserve, and the assurance of full and complete forgiveness of all our sins and the eternal life.

Prayer
May the God of hope fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in Him in Jesus name.

Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!

Message

14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

One thing you should get rid of is arguing in your mind, with your mouth, with yourself and with God.
Beloveth, murmuring, bitterness, complaining will not only blind you to all the ways of the Lord but also will limit and destroy your spiritual life. While your faith and confidence in yourself and in God will be jeopardized.
Yes! a grumbling being can see nothing good and with always be negative mindset, forgetting God's gracious provisions and the grace of being a living witness of this precious day.
You are to take a moment and look back on God's fingerprints all over your life and and start praising, thanking and worshiping God or continue murmuring and grumbling.

Prayer
Oh everlasting Father, please help me to understand that corporate revival begins with personal and individual revival.
Help me to humble myself, to do all things without murmurings and disputing and to seeking Your face whole-heartedly in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Judges 6:14-15 contd
14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
15 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

Message
Beloveth, complaining comes from different sources:
- stubbornness and hardness of heart
- comparison and self-pity
- unbelief, doubt and fear
- unthankfulness
- pride and self-centeredness
Is your life so miserable, so confusing, soo orderliness that you have nothing to show or
nothing to be thankful of?
Beloveth, you are submit to God, draw nearer to Him, focus on God, purify your mind,

Grumbling, whining, and thanklessness are not ultimately the heart's responses to circumstances, but unto God.
God is not interested who your parents are.

You might, like Gideon, see no qualifications in yourself or in the life tree of your family but God is seeing you as the mighty man.
He is assuring you that the prophecy upon your life is not a mere dream or delusion and that His presence will go with you
You might be the least in your father's house, perhaps the youngest or the most un-respected, but when God's favour shall locate you things will turn around.
You will be sought for and without you nothing can happen. Because God will go before you and pour His blessings upon your life.

Prayer
Help me oh Lord, to have perfect trust in Your protecting love as I seek Your guidance against stubbornness, hardness of heart, self-pity, unthankfulness, pride unbelief and fear in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Judges 6:14-15
14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
15 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

Message
Complaints arise from the fleshly nature of your heart which can rob you of God's blessing and grace.
Thanklessness and grumbling - regardless of your situation - reflect your heart.
You could recollect that grumbling, complaining, murmuring, quarreling on the Isreali's journey to the promised land costed them longer journey than expected. Yes! they grumbled at their enslavement, grumbled when Moses came on the scene, and still grumbled as they wandered safely in the wilderness.

Sadly, many Christians these days, like Gideon, are murmurers and complainer; be in the home, on the job and in the house of the Lord, or manifestation of God's blessings.
To them, everything is bad - their life is miserable, nothing is positive and someone or God is responsible.

But the good news is: God graciously reminds you that you must remember His gracious protection, guidance and provision.
Are you the type of Gideon?
God does not care of your position, who your parents are - poor or rich - what you are going through, when you are needed by Him He will surely make the provision.
Learn to not to murmur rather to be content in life, be happy and rejoice always in the Lord.

Prayer
Help me oh Lord, to have perfect trust in Your protecting love, never to loose confidence in Your grace and let my life be filled with so many wonderful opportunities in Jesus name.

What have you been doing in that situation causing headache - sit there complaining and murmuring or looking for a solution?
Prosperity is not designed for the murming, lazy, fearful and doubtful beings or those who give up at simple failures.
You can get it if you really want but you must try, try and try. God will send your destiny helper and success will start locating you.
The impotent man never give up as he continue, daily, trying to the pool. Yes! At the appointed time Jesus shew up and his problem was over.

Prayer
Oh LORD Jesus, do not pass me by when you are on Your mission of healing and mercy.
