There Is Hope For A Tree That Is Cut Down
Contributed by Pastor E. Jolly Erhunwmunse on Sep 9, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: Beginning to thank God that you are still alive today that is why you can still cry about a particular need. Think about it, what about if you’re not alive will you need anything or feel anything, then for you to be alive today and you are passing through
Today I congratulate every one that I have the opportunity of reading this message from the throne of grace, today many situation that has being questioning the God you serve shall be put to shame.
Dear reader I bring to you a message title “THERE IS HOPE FOR A TREE THAT IS CUT DOWN” in Job 14: 7-10 7 "At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail. 8 Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil,9 yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth shoots like a plant. 10 But man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last and is no more.
Beloved before you continue this message I want you beginning to thank God for whatever you’re passing through now because you are still alive. This was Job speaking that there is hope for a tree that is cut down than the tree that was uprooted, when a tree is uprooted from the soil that tree has lost hope for survival no matter the amount of rain, it can’t survive.
Dear reader I am saying to you now that there is still for you because you are alive. Verse 7 say its roots may grow old in the ground and its stock die in the soil yet if there can just be a scent of water it will survive. Beloved I don’t know what your situation is now, I don’t know how are feeling right now I’m not interested what the Lord say I should tell those people that will come across this message is that “there is still hope for you”. You may have being reject by your family, friend and loves ones because of your aliment but that Lord ask to tell you that He can rescue you. You may have been emotional broken in the past that it was seriously affect you but Lord said I should tell you that His is the Portal of your life and He can still mode you again back to your original state.
In Proverbs 23:18 says “There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off”. This is the plan of God for every Christian on earth. But the question now is do you believe that there is hop for you, do you have faith in the Word of God, are will reading the bible like literature books, do you still have impossible in your heart or your are still blaming yourself for your past life and you felt that God can for given you then ready one of my message title “What About your Past” on this sit under 2008 messages.
HOW DO YOU REGAIN BACK YOUR HOPE
The first thing to do is to surrounded your life to Jesus if you have not do so, I am not saying you don’t go to church; you may be a pastor and you’r not born again. Infact so many people today is the house of God are not born-again, if you call yourself a child of God and you have not seeing heavenly revelation then you are not born-again.
The second do you is to forgive yourself of wrong you may have done in past and believe that there is still hope. Ezra 10:2 “Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, one of the descendants of Elam, said to Ezra, "We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the peoples around us. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel”.
The third to thing do is to believe and mandate in the the word God daily. Live in the world of God, believe in the promises in God’s word and claim it for yourself. Always seek to know the Him deeper.
The next thing to do is leave a pure and holy life. The bible says that without holiness no man shall see God. Do you want to see God, do you want to receive blessings from Him, Do you desire a miracles and testimonies from Him then be holy and pure.
The next thing to do is praise God always for your situation. So many Christian ignore praising God during their storm in life and focus more on prayers. Do you know that when you praise, you’re inviting God in person in to your situation because that is the only thing that He can get from man all other thing we do in the House God is to our self. Praise and worshiping God bring God personality into to storm and difficult and do what prayer cannot do. Prayers are good I know because I love prayers, but prayers cannot bring God down to your situation it can only bring Angles down to deliver your request from God. So praise God always.
