TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope; this very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.”
(Zechariah 9:12, NASB)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Are you a prisoner of hope? A prisoner of hope is someone who has an attitude of faith and expectancy even when things aren’t going their way. They know that God has a plan to get them through difficulty, a plan to restore their health, finances, dreams, and relationships. You may not be where you want to be today but have hope because all things are subject to change.
In this scripture, God promises to restore double to those who hope in Him. When God restores something, He doesn’t just set things back the way they were before, He goes above and beyond. He makes things better than they were before! That’s a reason to have hope today. That’s a reason to rejoice today! Don’t let circumstances drag you down, instead, choose to be a prisoner of hope and watch what God will do to restore every area of your life!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for Your good promises found in Your Word. I choose to be a prisoner of hope. I choose to keep my eyes on you knowing that you are working behind the scenes and you will restore double in every area of my life! In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
So what is the message for those already doing well in health, finances, relationships and are seeing their dreams come true?
I’ve seen more money stolen in the name of God than in any other way.
The message for all who are doing well is to give thanks and realise that all good things come from God (James 1:17) but there will also be a time of affliction, tests and trials.
Church business is a lucrative business, especially in Africa, because people no longer believe in hardwork but miracles.
This is powerful. God is restoring everything the canker worms have eaten, everything the enermy has stolen shall be restored. Remember Job, he kept the faith and was restored ten fold.
May God our father through our Lord Jesus Christ provide that we have hoped for. May the sun shine on Zambia once again. May He restore our hope and our collective belief. Amen.
May God restore our economy for Zambia is a hopeful nation.May he strengthen us as we continue being prisoners of hope…in Jesus’ name we pray amen and amen.
powerfull message indeed! in jesus name amen.
The craze for miracles that could create rags to riches phenomenon is the real catch for the con-artist pastors.
“Pastors of churches often preach about the importance of giving at least 10 per cent of their income as tithe and more as offering to the church. Their focus is on prosperity mainly”
And some of the brainwashed church members will come here and spit rubbish about how “the lord will bless the pastors according to his riches in glory” but the lord isn’t blessing them (the brainwashed members)
As far as I am concerned any body that call’s him/herself a “Man of God” and still ask for money before blessing the followers…then it’s a shame, they aren’t worth to be called “Men of God”
shallow minded. No wonder why will never progress because church goers are busy dancing to their Christ. For fk sack get some life and work hard to build our ECONOMY.
I am a prisoner of one thing and am told everything will be fine in the name of lord almighty where my holp is.
Soon i sha rejoice.
powerfull message indeed! goodmorning? in jesus name amen.
Thanks very much for such a good message.May God bless u always
Many faith healers are con artists that steal money from sick people
May God increase Zambia’s fortunes and deliver us from the rule of these thieves and conmen! AMEN.
“BUSINESS came to a halt in Zambia this week, after a white “Jesus” grabbed people’s attention while walking down the streets of Chipata town in Zambia.
Dressed in a long white robe and wearing long hair and long beard, the white “Jesus”, who was later on established to be an Italian tourist named Antonio Boretti, drew people’s attention because of his garb.
His entire appearance resembled that of the popular Western image of Jesus that has been engraved in most people’s minds, leading most Christians in Zambia to believe that he was “Jesus” coming back for the second time to judge the world.
The local people followed him and some even worshipped him, showering him with gifts.
It was very confusing for the poor tourist who seemed to enjoy the attention”
The trip was obviously well planned…. he knew he would be mistaken and expected their reaction that was the whole purpose of the trip, just to feel sense of power and see how the brainwash has worked….. hahahahahahahahaha
Blind devotion is the root of evil.
Glad he went to Chipita. Some one need to show the people there how stûpid they are. The man never said he was Jesus.
This is utter and absolute nonsense from this dual, this is why we as Africans never move forward, wake up and believe in self…the key to success is planning.
“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!” ? Benjamin Franklin
Scamming in the name of God
Africans wake up ….The Council of Nicea created your fictitious phony character Jesus Christ, they also created Christianity.
Google it for yourself … wake up….invest your time in studying about self !!
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between fantasy and fairy tales, between myths and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his ignorance. This is the dimension of imagination, gullibility and delusion. It is an area which we call the RELIGIOUS ZONE?
Glory be to you our dear God
The God I know did not write books so that man would be cutting down trees to write lies, the God i know made trees so we could shade and breathe .The God I know would not come to the earth in shape of man and make alcohol and other magic tricks. The God I know would come to the earth and spread love, he would end war, hunger and disease. The God I know doesnt want people on their knees or with their eyes closed worshipping him as a god. The God I know would not be part of religion so people fight, judge and die.
