"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises."

Praise God, Church Family of Faith!
In today's world, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the challenges and uncertainties we face. Many people are struggling with feelings of hopelessness and despair. As believers, we have a source of hope and optimism that goes beyond our circumstances.
What does it mean for us to restore hope and optimism?
Restoring hope and optimism means finding strength, joy, and confidence in God's promises, even in the midst of difficult times. Hallelujah!
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ! Today, I want to address each one of you individually and encourage you to restore hope and optimism in your lives. No matter what you are going through, God wants to fill you with His hope, His joy, and His peace. Hallelujah!
Let us dive into God's Word and discover how you can experience this restoration in four points:
1. Point 1. Remember God's Faithfulness:
Lamentations 3:22–23 (AMP): "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."
Reflect on God's faithfulness in your life. Remember the times God has come through for you, provided for you, and answered your prayers. This will remind you that God is always with you and that His promises are trustworthy.
2. Point 2. Renew Your Mind:
Romans 12:2 (AMP): "And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good, acceptable, and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]."
Your mind can easily be influenced by negative thoughts and worldly perspectives. To restore hope and optimism, you need to renew your mind with God's truth. Fill your mind with God's Word, meditate on God's promises, and reject negative thinking patterns.
3. Point 3: Surround Yourself with Encouragement:
Hebrews 10:24–25 (AMP): "And let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ's return] approaching."
You are not meant to walk this journey alone. Surround yourself with fellow believers who can uplift and encourage you. Attend church, join a small group, and seek out positive influences that will help restore your hope and optimism.
4. Point 4. Surrender to God's Plan:
Proverbs 3:5–6 (AMP): "Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways, know, acknowledge, and recognise Him, and He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]."
Sometimes, your lack of hope and optimism stems from trying to control everything yourself. Surrender your plans, worries, and fears to God. Trust in God's wisdom and guidance, knowing that God will lead you on the right path. Hallelujah!
In conclusion, therefore, let us pray together, seeking God's restoration of hope and optimism in our lives.
Let us all Pray,
Heavenly Father, I come before You today, acknowledging that You are the God of hope. I thank You for the promises in Your Word that bring me joy, peace, and confidence. Lord, help me to remember Your faithfulness, renew my mind with Your truth, and surround me with encouragement as I surrender to Your plan. May Your Holy Spirit fill me with hope and optimism, enabling me to face each day with confidence in Your promises. In Christ's mighty name, I have prayed. Amen.
You have been Church-Built and healed. Please voluntarily and sincerely give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love in all circumstances. This is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Pray, tithe, and sow healing seeds to Him, who can do immeasurably more than you ask or imagine. Act in faith and obedience, and be doers of the word, not just hearers.
Yours in Christ,
Apostle Jude Noah Wakibi
