    THE WORD
SPEAKER: Elder U. A. Ikpe
INTERPRETER: Helper Daniel Edet 
TOPIC: HOPE
BIBLE REFERENCE : Matthew 9:15, Luke 24:50, 1st  Corinthians 13:13, Acts 14:17
FOCUS 
HOPE: Our hope is in God,  trust and confidence in His promises, love, and sovereignty.
 It's a declaration of faith, acknowledging that true hope and security come from Him (God) alone.
Hope is a profound demonstration of Jesus' divine power and its impact on faith. 
When Jesus delayed his visit to Lazarus, Martha expressed her concerns, but Jesus reassured her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live, This miracle showcases Jesus' authority over death and his ability to bring life and restoration. For Martha and Mary, it strengthened their faith and deepened their understanding of Jesus' identity.
1st Corinthians 13:13, emphasizes the permanence of three fundamental Christian virtues: faith, hope, and love. While faith and hope are essential, love surpasses them, as it is the greatest.
Faith fuels our trust in God, hope anchors us in times of uncertainty, and love embodies the selfless nature of Christ. Love's greatness lies in its unconditional and enduring nature, reflecting God's character.
It's encourages believers to prioritize love in relationships, actions, and decisions, recognizing its transformative power. By focusing on love, we demonstrate our faith and hope in tangible ways, glorifying God and inspiring others.
CONCLUSION 
Hope in God is the anchor that holds us firm, the light that guides us through darkness, and the strength that sustains us in times of need.
 With God, all things are possible, and His promises endure forever. For in Him, hope springs eternal, and His mercy endures forever.
