How to Be Hope
September 12, 2021
The first blessing and the foundation of blessing is salvation.
If there’s a present age, then there’s a future age.
Eager = Zeloton = Zealous
I’m living in the future, I’m zealous for the Blessed Hope
Manifesto:
I don’t have to get blessed, I am blessed. Living in the favor of my Heavenly Father
My praise will be louder than my need, my God has made me well.
What is have is always enough for God to move, he is more than enough for all I need.
Rules are not my Savior, Rebellion is not my answer, I will cling to God alone.
I put his name on it, his purpose in it, His glory over it.
In plenty or in want. I am blessed, I will celebrate.
What I catch, I throw. Nothing is withheld.
I won’t pretend, I persevere, I’m coming back to Jesus.
The rain’s coming, and I’m ready.
Because this will work towards my sanctification, as I do the work of reconciliation.
I am blessed, I will always invest.
I am seeking his kingdom first, so I have it all.
I’m living in the future, I’m zealous for the blessed hope.
Questions for Reflection:
There is a difference in the present empire and the blessed hope and this difference changes the things we seek and what we say “yes and no” to. What does it mean to be future focused with our decisions? How should this change your decisions and your desires?
We hold onto hope for the future, the blessed hope. In doing this, we cannot hold onto hope for ourself and our accomplishments. Because when we fail, we are left with nothing. Why is there so much humility within this? How does it change your life when you change where you place your hope?
What does it mean for you to be “living in the future?” How can you be more zealously seeking for that Blessed Hope?
