Recognising God as Source and Provider.
A SermonDelivered on Wednesday Evening, April 29th, 2026, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH,Live on MZ Radio London, London UK. We’re good at thanking the wrong things. The pay cheque comes in – we thank the job. The business turns a profit – we credit the strategy. A gift arrives at the right moment – we’re grateful to the person who gave it. None of that’s wrong. But we end up building our security on channels. And channels can run dry. Paul writes to a church in real need and says – “My God shall supply all your need… according to His riches in glory… by Christ Jesus.” Not some needs. All of them. If you’ve ever lain awake wondering whether there’ll be enough – this is for you. In today’s message titled “Recognising God as Source and Provider,” Evangelist Paul Acquah reminds us that God is not just a part of our supply – He is the source of it all. Be blessed as you listen! The Bible makes us understand that God is the ultimate source of life, provision, and strength, rather than relying on human resources or material possessions. God meets all needs, Philippians 4:19 (NIV): “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus”. God is the source of all things. 1 Corinthians 8:6 (AMPC): “Yet for us there is only one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all things.”. Every perfect gift comes from Him. James 1:17 (NKJV): “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.”. Psalm 31:19 (NIV):tells us about the great goodness God has stored up for those who fear Him. In John 15:5 (ESV),Jesus says, “…apart from me you can do nothing,” Thus letting us know that he is the source of fruitfulness. God is the Ultimate Source. Your job or other avenues are merely channels. God is the source behind every blessing. Depend on God because relying on God rather than man or wealth brings true security. He is the provider of physical needs and spiritual vitality. When we put our trust in Him, He remains faithful to meet our needs throughout life. God is the source of everything we need soallow him to be your source of provision. Recognising God as the ultimate source stops a mindset of lack and fear, allowing us to trust in His provision. This reminds me of Hebrews chapter 4 and the Sabbath rest. Hebrews 4 teaches that a “Sabbath rest” remains for the children of God, which is a present spiritual rest found by trusting in the finished work of Jesus rather than human works. Entering this rest means ceasing from self-reliant efforts to achieve your needs, but resting in the finished work of Christ just as God rested from his work of creation. The chapter urges immediate faith, encouraging believers to hear God’s voice today and avoid hardening their hearts. This was what the Sabbath was supposed to be in the OT. The biblical account indicates that when the Israelites observed the Sabbath day and the Sabbath year, they were promised and experienced exceptional prosperity, distinct from their neighbours, because they operated under a covenant where God was recognised as their ultimate Source and Provider. We need to understand that even though we work and toil, it’s God that supernaturally supplies. And so here were the Jews, and that was back during a time that nobody on the planet took one day out of seven off because it was a time that they were struggling to make ends meet. And yet God’s people took one day out of seven off and instead of having less they had more. God blessed them and they prospered more than all the nations around them that were working seven days a week. Let me refer you to Leviticus 25, so you can see the miracle in it. In Leviticus 25, God commanded that for six years the Israelites could sow and harvest, but the seventh year was to be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—no sowing or reaping. They had to take one year out of seven off and they couldn’t plant any crops. And they couldn’t reap what grew naturally of the field. And they couldn’t do any work. And they had to take one year out of seven and turn it into a Sabbath year. Do you know that the natural mind says, “If I do that, I’d starve.” How do you survive? To ensure their survival during the fallow year, God promised Supernatural Abundance: a triple blessing in the sixth year, providing enough produce to last for three years (the 6th, 7th, and until the 8th-year harvest). Leviticus 25, says, “If the people ask, how will we survive during the seventh year?” He says, “I’ll give you three times a normal harvest that will last you through the sixth year, through the seventh year when you aren’t working, and through the eighth year as you plant your crops and are waiting for the stuff to come up.” So, when they observe this Sabbath, God would multiply their effort. Observance of these laws was designed to teach reliance on God rather than human effort, affirming that God is our source. While neighbouring nations worked incessantly to secure fertility, Israel’s rest meant they relied on divine provision, not just agricultural output. So, the whole point of this was to show that even though you work and do things, it is not your work that produces prosperity, it is your covenant with God and God’s blessing on your work that make it work. And I tell you, that is a perfect picture of giving. There’re lots of people that say, “Well, I would give but” If I were to give this money away, what would I eat? Well, if there wasn’t a God who promised that when you give, it’ll be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, shaken
He’s given us what we need
A SermonDelivered on Wednesday Evening, April 22nd , 2026, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH,Live on MZ Radio London, London UK. We spend so much of our lives running on empty. We look at our circumstances and see a deficit. We hustle, we strive, and even in our faith, we exhaust ourselves trying to convince God to give us what we think we’re missing. But what if the peace you are searching for was established at the beginning of time? Look at creation. God didn’t form humanity in a void and then scramble to sustain us. He created the light, the waters, and the fruit before He created us. His provision always predates our need. Our God is proactive, never reactive. When Jesus declared, “It is finished,” He permanently secured every blessing and ounce of grace you will ever require. You don’t have to strive for the blessing anymore. Faith simply unlocks what is already yours. In today’s message titled “He’s given us what we need,” Evangelist Paul Acquah shares on shifting your perspective from lack to abundance, and from effort to trust. Be blessed as you listen! The story of creation demonstrates that God is a loving and proactive Father who has already provided everything necessary for life and godliness, making us not focus on lack but to trust in His prepared, abundant supply. Look at the creation story and you will notice that God provided every need before anything ever had the need. So, the creation story is a foundational example of God’s grace and nature as a provider. God has anticipated your need and has already provided before the need arose. In the creation story, God did not create humanity until all necessary resources—light, land, atmosphere, and sustenance—were already in place. This reveals that God operates from a foundation of abundance and foresight, providing for human needs before they arise. God didn’t create Adam and Eve and then they got hungry and he said, “Oh, well, I’ll provide for you.” Then they needed to breathe, and he said, “Oh, I’ll create air.” God anticipated every need of Adam and Eve, and not only Adam and Eve, but of the entire human race. Before we ever had a need, the supply was already made. Recognising that God has already supplied the provision before we ever had the need stops a mindset of lack and fear, allowing us to trust in His provision. Because God provided in advance in the beginning, we believe that He has already created the supply for our current needs. See God as a good Father who desires to meet needs, rather than a harsh taskmaster. Understanding God’s prior provision frees us from anxiety and enables us to live in the abundance and grace already prepared for us. It’s like God set the table and prepared the food before we showed up. That reminds me of the Parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14:17. The master sends his servant at suppertime to tell invited guests, “Come, for all things are now ready”. It’s just like if you go to somebody’s house, they don’t wait until you show up and then start cooking. They invite you and they’ve already prepared. They’ve already set the table. They’ve already got the menu and it’s ready. And so God has already supplied everything before we ever had the need. God set the table and prepared the food before we showed up. Jesus said it’s finished, everything is ready for us. No More Striving. Because Jesus finished the work, believers must stop trying to earn salvation or forgiveness through individual effort or attempting such an impossible task and instead rest in what has already been accomplished. God establishes the supply before individuals experience the need, always preparing blessings for his children before they even ask or face a challenge. “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies” (Psalm 23:5). God sets a feast of blessing and favour, and the enemy is forced to sit on the sidelines and watch God provide for His children. God is our source. It’s not our effort that produces the blessing; rather, God acts as the host who prepares the food and invites us to sit and feast on His mercy and goodness. Children of God are meant to operate from a place of “rest,” knowing that God has already prepared the way, provision, and victory before they arrive at our destination. He gives us more abundantly. We must rely on God’s abundance and trust that he gives more than we ask or think of. “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (Ephesians 3:20). God is not withholding blessings; instead, Christians often fail to receive them because they are not properly “tuning in” to what has already been provided. What have you received in Christ Jesus? Christ came to give us abundant life (John 10:10). That Abundant Life Is Possible. The first step to experiencing abundant life is acknowledging what God has already given you through the born-again experience. Abundant Life is available to you and me Now. The abundant life Jesus came to give to believers is available immediately in the spirit, and through faith, it can be manifested in the physical, mental, and emotional realms. When Jesus died on the cross, He said, “It is finished” (John 19:30). And the Scripture reveals in Ephesians 1:20 that He is now seated at the Father’s right hand. He’s not working anymore. He’s already done it. It is finished! Do you need to be healed today? It’s already been done. Jesus bore your stripes in His body 2,000 years ago. It’s not a matter of if God will heal you; He’s already healed you. Will you receive
You have all you need
A SermonDelivered on Wednesday Evening, April 15th, 2026, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH,Live on MZ Radio London, London UK. In a world that often tells us we aren’t enough, God reminds us that in Christ, we already possess everything we need for life and godliness. You’re not striving for victory; you’re living from it. Through Jesus, His divine power has made you complete, equipping you for every challenge and every calling. Today’s message affirms that you have everything you need – not someday, but right now. Strength isn’t something you need to search for; it’s already within you. Peace isn’t distant; it’s a promise you carry. In Him, you lack nothing. So, are you living like someone who has everything they need in Christ, or are you living like someone who is still waiting for God to come through? Get ready to be reminded of who you are in Christ – victorious, empowered, and fully supplied by His grace – in today’s message titled “You Have All You Need.” Be blessed as you listen! God has given us everything we need to succeed and walk in victory. God has already provided believers with everything necessary for success and victory in life. Through our fellowship with Jesus Christ, we are empowered to live above challenges rather than merely surviving them. Our victory is a “Done Deal”: The victory over sin, sickness, and lack is finished, based on Christ’s declaration “it is finished” and the word of God in 2 Peter 1:3-4 which says, “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires”. We as believers in Christ are to operate from a position of already having God’s power, rather than trying to earn it. His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life. All you need is already inside you, but many Christians don’t know this. Instead of you having to go and ask God to heal you, God has already put his raising from the dead power on the inside of you. “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies [d]through His Spirit who dwells in you” (Romans 8:11). 16 “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16). “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? (1 Corinthians 6:19) “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us” ( 2 Corinthians 4:7). You Already Have Everything You Need from God. When everything else fades, God’s presence remains. He is your source, your strength, and your sufficiency. Trust Him—you lack nothing The Christian life isn’t about trying to convince God to give you “more.” It’s about understanding and drawing on the incredible work Jesus has already accomplished on the cross. Many Christians don’t know what they have, so Paul prayed this prayer for the Ephesians church members, and I pray this prayer for you: “Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your [f]understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality[g] and [h]power and [i]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:15-20). We just need to cooperate with God and believe that he is all that we need. Many Christians are very aware that they can do nothing without God, but don’t realise that He will do nothing without us. “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (Ephesians 3:20). The idea that God will do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, without our cooperation, is not true. He has power, but it is the use of His ability combined with the power that works in us. ‘No power working in us’ means no power of God will come through us. The exceeding greatness of His power that is toward us who believe is power that is not external, but is internal, in the believer. It is working according to the faith that we exercise in the indwelling Saviour. It was this principle that Paul was stating when he declared, ‘I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.’ The way we receive from God, is to believe what God promised in His Word and act on it as if it were true. IT IS! Jesus has already signed His name to every promise in the Word. We aren’t waiting for Him. He is waiting for us. “All the promises of God are ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen’ in Christ” (2 Corinthians 1:20), making us aware that
He is whatever you need
A SermonDelivered on Wednesday Evening, April 8th, 2026, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH,Live on MZ Radio London, London UK. There comes a point in life when you realise that not everything you depend on can sustain you… people change, opportunities fade, and even your own strength can fail. But in the midst of it all, there is a God who never runs out, never breaks down, and never shows up too late. He is constant… unshaken… and unlimited. Before the need ever arose, He already had the answer. Before the problem appeared, He had already made provision. God does not react to your situation – He’s already gone ahead of it. This is the confidence of every believer: that in every season, in every situation, God remains faithful – fully able and fully willing tsupply all. He is not limited by time. He is not restricted by circumstances. And He is never late. In today’s sermon titled “He is whatever you need,” Evangelist Paul Acquah shares on how everything you need has already been made available through the finished work of Christ. Be blessed as you listen! Who is God to you? God is whatever you need! Sound easier to say than believe? When it comes to standing in faith for things we know we need to survive or want so desperately, the battle is on. Satan is waiting in the wings to convince you that God isn’t going to meet your needs. He’ll tell you God doesn’t want to help you or that He won’t make it in time. These are lies, lies and more lies. The truth is, God is whatever you need—the perfect and on-time provider for everything you could ever need or want. “I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing” (Psalm 16:2). James 1:17 says that “every good and perfect gift is from above,” originating from the unchanging “Father of the heavenly lights”. This text of scripture is telling us that all true blessings—including life, talents, and spiritual gifts—come from God, not chance, and confirms His consistent, generous nature. God is the “Father of lights”, He is the source of all illumination and goodness. There is “no variation or shadow due to change” in His character or generosity. Every good and perfect gift comes from him. If it’s evil, it’s from the devil. If it’s good, it’s from God. “Good” refers to things that bless and sustain, while “perfect” implies completeness and divine purpose. My friend, God is whatever you need. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. We need to rely on God because he provides good things. “The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing” (Psalm 34:10). Seeking the Lord allows him to meet all our needs (Mathew 6:33). Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. God is the believer’s total supply, “He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? (Romans 8:32), If God did not spare His own Son but delivered him up for us all, He will freely give us all things. This scripture makes us understand that since the highest price (Jesus) has already been paid, God will not withhold any necessary blessing, grace, or care. God will not abandon those He has saved, as He has already made the ultimate sacrifice. This is a promise of “total, overflowing, never-ending generosity” from God, not based on merit but on His love. God’s love is unconditional and that He is for us, not against us. And if God be for us who can be against us. If the greater gift of Christ was given, the lesser gifts will certainly follow. Along with Christ, God provides everything else needed for life and eternity (justification, sanctification, protection, you name them). We must believe that everything necessary is already provided in Christ. The bible says the inheritance of Christ is ours. In fact, we are joint heir with Christ. Believers already possess all things through Christ Through Jesus Christ, we believers are heirs to this promise. God’s desire is for His people to be satisfied in Him, recognising that He is our portion. This is a mystery, this is what people don’t understand, “Christ in you the hope of glory”. Christ is all. If you need a job – Christ, if you need a house – Christ, if you need a career – Christ, if you need a husband – Christ, if you need a wife Christ, If you need children-Christ, If you need forgiveness Christ, if you need wisdom – Christ. Everything and anything you need is in him. No wonder bible says “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Mathew 6: 33). “Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). God is saying I am whatever you need. He told Moses in (Exodus 3:14) that his name is I AM. “I AM” is the self-revealed personal name of God, signifying His eternal self-existence, independence, and unchanging faithfulness. Declared to Moses in Exodus 3:14, it indicates that God is the ever-present Creator who depends on nothing else for His existence. He is the source of all creation. God is not created, but is the eternal, sovereign source of all life. He is all that you need. God as the “I AM” is the comprehensive provider of whatever a believer needs—healer, way maker, and defender. “I AM” means His presence and power acting on your behalf, rather than striving in human effort. God, the Great I AM, fulfils your needs. When you need peace, He is peace; when you need healing, He is
Our exceedingly great reward
A SermonDelivered on Wednesday Evening, April 1st, 2026, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH,Live on MZ Radio London, London UK What are you living for? What is your actual daily life truly oriented around? In a world where many chase after success, recognition, and material gain, there remains a deeper question in the human heart – what truly satisfies? What is the reward that endures beyond circumstances, beyond achievements, and beyond possessions? In Genesis 15:1, God speaks to ‘Abram’ with a powerful and life-altering truth: “I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Not just a provider of blessings, but the very essence of the blessing itself. God does not merely give good things – He gives us Himself. And in knowing Him, we possess what can never be taken away. In today’s message titled “Our exceedingly great reward,” Evangelist Paul Acquah invites you to discover that your fulfilment is not found in what God gives, but in who He is. Be blessed as you listen! Know that God is our exceedingly great reward. “After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, [a]your exceedingly great reward” (Genesis 15:1). The NIV says, “Your very great reward”, This happenedafter Abraham risked his life to rescue Lot and refused goods or items from the King of Sodom. God appeared to him and said, “Do not be afraid… I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward”. God is the Reward: God is not just the giver of rewards, but He is the reward itself. His presence, protection (as a shield), and intimacy are superior to any physical or earthly gain.The ultimate blessing for a believer is God Himself, rather than material gain. God Himself—His presence, character, and relationship—is the ultimate blessing, rather than just material wealth or miraculous intervention. He rewards us of his presence God is our exceedingly great reward. We are encouraged here to find our fulfilment and contentment in knowing who God is, rather than relying on external, material blessings. Genesis 15:1 pairs the reward with “I am your shield.” This means that God provides both protection and security. God assured Abram that. I’m your shield; or, I am a shield to you, present with you, actually caring for you. To know that God himself is a shield to his people, to secure them from all evils, a shield ready for them, and a shield round about them, should silence all perplexing, tormenting fears. When God is viewed as the “exceedingly great reward,” it eliminates the fear of loss or the fear of the future, as the greatest asset is already secure. God is the Reward, Not Just the Giver. While God blesses people, the greatest reward is possessing God Himself. Shift your focus from “Things” to God. A lot of people often settle for less by focusing on material blessings or circumstances. We need to shift our focus from chasing “things” to seeking God, who is “more than enough” (Mathew 6:33). That’s why God rewards those who diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6). “Without faith, it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to God” (Hebrews 11:6). So, what pleases God? We always want to please God. We want to believe that he’s pleased with us. We go through all of our different works of the flesh trying to please God with our things that we do, and so on and so forth. But really what he wants is, for us to believe in him. As a matter of fact, there’re really four things here that it tells us that he wants. He wants our faith. He wants us to believe that he exists. That he is. That everywhere we go, God is. We’re never, ever, ever without God. Believe that he exits , and he is a rewarder and he is your exceedingly great reward. God has already provided everything needed through grace, and realising this will change your life from striving to receiving. That means shifting from a mindset of, forced effort (“I have to do this and that “) to a state of surrender, and moving away from relying on self-effort to trusting and seeking God. We need to put our trust in God. He is our very great reward. When we need protection, he’s there for us, when we need provision, he is there for us. When we need help, he is there, when we need healing, he is there, God in the midst of us is mighty. God is my reward, when you are disappointed, He’s your reward. When they say there’s no way, He’s your reward. God was saying to Abraham, I can give you over and above your expectation, I’m your exceedingly great reward. You need to shift your focus to seeking and trusting God because he’s all that you need. God is your reward. he will supply all your needs. In your business, he is your reward, In your marriage, he is your reward, in your career he is your reward , in your ministry, he is your reward. God is the owner of the world and its fullness. “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” (Psalm 24:1). God owns everything. “For every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. 11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine” (Psalm 50:10-11). Do you have a court case or problem with your manager or supervisor? The king’s heart is in his hands, he will turn it in your favour. “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes” ( Proverbs 21:1). It shows that God holds supreme authority over even the most powerful earthly rulers, capable of directing their decisions and actions to bring about His purposes, including bringing favour to His people. He says I’m your exceedingly great reward; I’m your
Hope That Never Fails
A SermonDelivered on Wednesday Evening, March 25th, 2026, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH,Live on MZ Radio London, London UK. We live in an age of shattered expectations. Every day, we are taught to hope cautiously… to brace for impact… to guard our hearts from disappointment. We’ve learned the hard way that people fail us, plans fall through, and dreams often die before they’re born. So, we lower the bar. We stop expecting miracles. And somewhere along the way, many of us have made a quiet, desperate peace with cynicism – because we’ve decided that hoping is just too dangerous. But what if there is a hope that never fails? A hope that doesn’t fade with circumstances… A hope that isn’t shaken by delays… A hope that will never leave you disappointed… The Bible declares in Romans 5:5, “Hope does not put us to shame.” This is not wishful thinking. It’s a confident, unshakable trust in a faithful God. In today’s message titled “Hope That Never Fails,” Evangelist Paul Acquah explores a hope that stands firm in every season. Be blessed as you listen! Hope is a confident trust that something will be fulfilled. God is good. And He has a good plan for each of our lives. No matter what may be going on right now, God’s plan is unfolding. Over the years, I’ve learned how to let my deep-rooted hope in God paint a picture of great expectation, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life. And hope is what helped me hold on in those early years when it got hard. Romans12:12 tells us to rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble and keep on praying (NLT). I think that’s good advice, especially in times when it feels like we’ve been waiting and waiting…and waiting for something to happen in our lives. Hope is vital in times like these, and it will keep us looking ahead, anticipating, expecting whatever it is we’re hoping for. Sadly, there are people who have negative attitude and don’t hope for anything because they think if you don’t expect anything good to happen, then you won’t be disappointed when it doesn’t. Let me assure you that hope in God will not disappoint or put you to shame. God wants you to be full of hope, not full of discouragement, despair, and depression. The Bible tells us in Romans 5:5 that those who put their hope in God will never be disappointed and they will never be put to shame. Romans chapter 5 verse 5 says, “And hope does not put us to shame because God’s love has been poured in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Now Paul concludes this chain by saying that our hope will never put us to shame. By that, Paul means our hope will be fully vindicated. We will never, in the end, be disappointed for hoping to receive God’s goodness forever. This is hope rooted in God’s unconditional love, which ensures that believers will never be disappointed, regardless of present circumstances. Now, I love this. He says, “And hope does not put us to shame because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts.” I think this verse is beautiful because it combines a number of things that should excite us . It says God’s love has been poured on us by who? By the Holy Spirit who’s been given to you. You’ve been given the Holy Spirit who is your teacher, your guide, your comforter, your counsellor, the spirit of truth. So, you have the Holy Spirit who constantly wants to reveal the love of God to you and I. And in that revealed love of God, if we let ourselves see in the word, and hear God’s heart towards us, and have an expectancy that God’s love is going to be revealed towards us, our family, our situation, our health, as we start to have that belief that I am loved by God , then what do we do? We apply it to the things that we’re hoping for, because now God’s love is igniting us back to the word of God and that’s where we place our hope and let that hope paint a picture of expectation for you. This is because I know I’m loved by God and in God’s love. He declared this in his word for me. It is mine in Jesus’ name. And it says that hope does not disappoint. Christ in you the hope of Glory. You are in the kingdom of God and that means you have obtained an inheritance in him and it’s now in Christ. And Christ in you is the hope of glory. We now have the ability to walk out and live out of this reality of I possess God, and God will not disappoint me or put me in shame, my hope is in him. I possess the kingdom so enemy who are you to come against me. This understanding of being in Christ, the hope of glory causes an attitude of faith because if the word of God says it and he’s in me, then this belongs to me right now. Then you start taking those promises and it truly becomes a sword against every lie and attack of the enemy that says you can’t have it or when religion says you’ve got to do more for it. So I’m excited just to encourage and stir up this understanding. Your hope in God will never put you to shame. Why Hope Does Not Shame? It will not leave you empty, or disappointed, because it is not based on personal performance or human effort, but on the grace of God and the finished work of Jesus. When Jesus was on the cross and I get this beautiful picture when he said it is finished. Do you know how powerful that is? He
