    HOPE, FAITH, and LOVE

    It s great day today, as I read the scripture on Deuteronomy 6, God s messages really touch me andremain me something, something precious. It s about God s love, faith and love. In this scripture it tell us

    mostly about to love our God holistically (v.5). One passage in this scripture that really remain me when

    first time I accept Jesus is on verses 21-24. This passage is about how God guides Israelites out of theirmisery, and lead them to the new land.

    HOPE

    Before I accept Christ as my savior, I m a person that always feel unsecure, Everything that I done, I

    must done it right and on time, I plan a few steps ahead to make sure every plan succeed, I even createdbackup plans. I really felt unsecure; my mind always thought that my enemies are just around me. To cutthe story short, I really thank God for giving me hope to hold for, a hope that changes my life. If we read

    verse 21;

    Deuteronomy 6:21Then thou shalt say unto thy son, we were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

    This verse, remain me, how God guides me out of misery and any troubles that you can namefor. God really a God of hope, He gives hope to the hopeless. With His mighty hand, He lifted us from

    drowning in the sea of hatred, sea of rage and any seas that make us drowning. Today God remains methat, don t lose hope in Him as we face challenges in our life. Many times, when we face challenges, wefall from experience God powers. God is always the same, yesterday, today and forever. His hope for the

    hopeless remains the same as the first time we receive hope from Him. We still can experience God

    hope in our life, if we trusting and acknowledge that God is in control. Let every challenge that we facein our life, in our ministry pass through us, for the Lord said;

    2 Corinthians 12:9

    And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

    Let makes the differences today, we are not looking the power of the troubles that we face butwe are seeking the power of Christ that can be done in our weakness. In our weakness, God powersmade perfect. Allow God powers to manifest in our life, give yourself a chance to experience His hope

    once again. God not only gives us hope but use us to bless the hopeless. I ll like to encourage you inscriptures;

    Roman 5:5;And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

    FAITH

    Deuteronomy 6:22And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his

    household, before our eyes:

    Faith is the basic things in our Christian life, but many times we are faithless. When is the lasttime you experience God s miracles in your life? A few years back, when I m still very green in Christian, Iuse to think that God miracles is just for those who are righteous and holy peoples only. As I walk withthe Lord years by years, I felt that God answers my prayer more when I still young in the Lord, I start to

    felt that it s hard for my prayer to be answered by the Lord. Are the miracles fading away? I really thankGod, when He gives me an answer, I totally was wrong that time.

    The issue is, we are lacking faith in God, and it s not that God left us, God is still there and He isalways there to listen to us. During Mosses time, God perform many miracles for the Israelites but many

    time also the Israelites doubt to Him. It s also same for us today, when the first two years we walk withGod, God deliver many miracles in our life but as we begin to lose faith in Him and rely on our worldlymethods, we are not experiencing God powers anymore. We begin to blame God. Is God guilty? No,absolutely not, it s our own fault that we are to proud of our worldly things. A God miracle, His powers is

    always waiting for us to be used for. Ask in Jesus name, repent for the sins that we done. We are allsinners, but we are a redeem sinners. Sinners can t experience God powers but a redeem sinners canexperience God powers. If today we think that miracles can t happen in this era, we are totally misjudge,

    make the first step to experience God miracles in your life by renew our relationship with Him, faith inJesus. If God can perform sign and wonders in the scriptures, it s also will be done in our era. Bible is not

    just an ordinary book but its living book. Have faith.

    Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

    LOVE

    Deuteronomy 6:23-24And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto

    our fathers. And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

    Everyone knows what it is love. Love is something that is universal; someone may describe it as passion,

    love is carrying, a feeling and many more. Mother love to his children, father love, friend love and manykinds of love. But do you know what true love is, Jesus love for you? In this scripture we ll experienceGod love. Today God remains me once again about the ultimate love of God.

    What kind of love is the ultimate love? It s a kind of love that scripture above told us. God loveguides us out from our misery, out from the darkness (v.23). In verse 24, God describe love something

    different from our worldly description; love is to fear Him. If we think according worldly view, to love isto fear, it doesn t make sense. But in Christ, fear doesn t mean that scary, darkness but it meanssomething else, something that beyond our imagination. God wants us to fear Him not because He got

    all the power and He can bullies us but because He loves us, His love is unconditional. To fear God is thebest way to walk with God, and as it describe in proverbs; to fear God is the beginning of the wisdom.Fear by following God, fear by respecting Him as our God. So, let love God more, the true love is in Him,

    His love is indescribable.
