The Land of Hope

Share

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“…I’ve pitched my tent in the land of hope…”
(Acts 2:26, Message)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Where have you pitched your tent today? In other words, what are you expecting to happen in your life this year? What kind of attitude do you have? If your thoughts are stuck and you’re focusing on what’s wrong or what’s not working, then it’s time to dig up your tent stakes! It’s time to pack up your belongings and move out of the land of discouragement. It’s time to move out of the “Not-going-to-happen” subdivision and move out of “Can’t-do-it-ville.” It’s time to pack your bags and move into the land of hope, faith and expectation!

Every time you catch a negative thought and choose to dwell on God’s promises, it’s like you are packing your bags. Every time you declare God’s faithfulness, you are taking a step in the right direction. The Bible says that those who hope in the Lord will never be put to shame. As you turn your focus toward Him, you are pitching your tent in the Land of Hope — a land where His peace, blessing and victory reign forever more.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, thank You for ordering and directing my steps. Thank You for taking me to the land of hope! I choose to set my mind on You, knowing that You are faithful. I release the past and invite You to fill me with Your peace, blessing and victory today and always. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

— Joel & Victoria Osteen

  1. The message has really touched me man of God. am always surrounded by people who make me feel unhappy, discouraged and out of place. i suppport this scripture deeply in that i have been so stagnant in my life for the past 3 years. God forbid. God forgive me.

  2. It is high time we read the scriptures over again and verify that the prophesies are being fulfilled in our own eyes. Wars and rumours of war…. read Mark 13.
    Human effort to bring peace has failed let alone claims that certain ethnic affiliations can. No tribe or language can unite human race, BUT LOVE for ALL people regardless of their tribe, creed or language.
    He that endures to the end the same shall be saved. Let us all pitch our tents where Our shepherd can observe us better!

  3. People read the bible for yourselves, you will see the that Acts 2:26 is abaut Jesus
    (Acts 2:25-27) KJV
    25) For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

    26) Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

    27) Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

    Be like the Breans (Acts17:11)
    These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

  4. Blessed are those who do not believe in brainwashing scriptures for they will enjoy life on earth to the max, for when you die and find out there is no paradise but spent your life wasting time and money on an imaginary god while so called prophets and preists lived in pure luxury eating your hard earned cash, that will really blow your mind away!

  5. #5 Jesus kanyenga. Evolution is a HOAX.
    The “Piltdown Man” is a famous paleontological hoax concerning the finding of the remains of a previously unknown early human. The hoax find consisted of fragments of a skull and jawbone collected in 1912 from a gravel pit at Piltdown, a village near Uckfield, East Sussex, England. The fragments were thought by many experts of the day to be the fossilised remains of a hitherto unknown form of early man. The Latin name Eoanthropus dawsoni was given to the specimen. The significance of the specimen remained the subject of controversy until it was exposed in 1953 as a forgery, consisting of the lower jawbone of an orangutan that had been deliberately combined with the skull of a fully developed modern human. TBC….

  6. Count….
    The Piltdown hoax is perhaps the most famous paleontological hoax in history. It has been prominent for two reasons: the attention paid to the issue of human evolution, and the length of time (more than 40 years) that elapsed from its discovery to its full exposure as a forgery.
