DAY 18 - Resilience

DAY 18

Read: Romans 8:35-39

Paul writes that there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God. In all things, we are more than conquerors. This is such an amazing assurance as we go through troubled times. During tough circumstances, choose to not let it to destroy your spirit. As we go through one of the biggest setbacks ever recorded in history, we can say this with confidence, we are more than conquerors. I can do all things through Christ.            www.newhopetv.org

We are not under but above the circumstances. Resilience is described as the courage to bounce back from a setback. Golda Meir who was the Israeli Prime Minister from 1969 to 1974 said, we refuse to disappear no matter how strong the forces are against us; here we are, millions of bodies buried alive, burnt to death but never has anyone been able to break the spirit of the Jewish people.

This is our inheritance, our blessing, our position that we can hold onto. No matter what happens, the hope and joy we have in God cannot be taken away from us. Trials, tribulations, difficulties, quarantine, lockdown, in all of this we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Jesus went through Gethsemane, suffered intense pain, crucifixion and death. Yet, He said Father I can go through all of this because You are with me. Friday is not the end; Sunday is coming! Halleluiah!

We are more than conquerors not by escaping difficult times but by going through them triumphantly and coming out victorious. Israel is one of the strongest nations in the world despite going through tremendous suffering. 

In Moses life, forty years was spent in the wilderness after being like a royal in Pharaoh’s palace. This maybe our wilderness experience. Just as Moses was being prepared to lead the people of Israel, God is preparing us for the purposes He has ordained for us. May we be willing and remain yielded to the working of His Spirit in our lives.

:: Prayer ::

Lord Jesus, help us to have the resilience to never give up as we allow the power of the Holy Spirit to work in us to bring something beautiful out of this difficult time. In Jesus Name, Amen.

DAY 27 - Resting In God

                        DAY 27 Read: Exodus 14:13-14                                      Dallas Willard a great Christian philosopher said,  “ ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your lives”. Contrary to the world’s idea that a busy life and multitasking are important, research studies as documented by Dr. Caroline Leaf suggests that being calm and doing one thing at a time is necessary for healthy brain function. Multitasking is unhealthy for the mind. It is vital to be at rest and in quietness.                                        www.newhopetv.org The Israelites when they were at the Red sea, thought that this was the end, they were going to drown and die. They were angry, grumbled and complained to Moses. Moses assured them not to be afraid but to stand by and see God’s salvation, that God will fight for them. It is important for us to be calm, to rest in God and trust in His awesome power. God will fight our battles for us. God knows our problems, the crisis we face, our fears. He

DAY 32 - God At Work

                            DAY 32 Read: Genesis 37:31-36 Psalm 53:5 says, they feared where no fear had been. Joseph’s brothers sold him off and informed their father that Joseph had been eaten by the wild animals. Jacob on hearing this news tore his clothes put on sack cloth and was a broken man. He refused to be comforted. Meanwhile, God was working in an amazing way. Joseph was taken by Potiphar, the captain in Pharaoh’s army. While Jacob wept, God was working out His plan.      www.newhopetv.org Often when we think all is lost and there is nothing to look forward to, God is still at work. He will fulfill His promises. He is in control of everything. Jacob was weeping for his son Joseph thinking he was dead while God was raising him up. Trust God to be true to His promises.  To be continuously sad is rebellion and disobedience toward God. :: Prayer :: Forgive us for weeping, grieving, being anxious, afraid and worried. You are working behind the scenes to make something beautiful

DAY 2 - Focus on God

  Day 2  Read: Mathew 11: 28-30 The Jewish people have a certain reading for each day. It is significant that what happens on that day often has a connect to the respective scripture portion read from the Torah. An example of this connect is seen in Luke 4:17-20, when Jesus enters the synagogue and reads from Isaiah 61:1, “The spirit of God is upon me to preach good news, to free the captives and heal the broken hearted”. Jesus goes on to say “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”  Another fascinating example is the reading on the funeral of Billy Graham, a renowned man of God and an incredible evangelist who won many souls to Christ. He died on 15th February 2018 and at his funeral, his daughter, Anne Graham Lotz read the scripture portion allotted for that day according to the Jewish calendar. The reading was the death of Moses and challenge for Joshua to take on leadership to bring the Israelites into the Promised Land. The day the lockdown was announced in America the
