DON’T LOSE HOPE
When you go through and are not consumed. That in its self is victory - Uche Ajo. I believe that of all things man can possess, outside the knowledge of Christ, HOPE is the most important. I am not talking about just wishful thinking but an expectation of good or something positive now or in future. It is a fact that trials and temptation is a way of life. We cannot escape it. Jesus said when (and not if) we pass through diverse temptations He will be with us. Thankfully, He also promised that we will not be tempted beyond our capacity to bear. Why is hope the most important? It is because the expectation of good helps us ride through the storm easier. Interestingly, it does not change the situation but affects how we navigate through and the choices we make. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel gives us strength to finish the journey. The Igbos have a saying which translates to “If you are hungry and there is assurance of getting food soon, that hunger cannot kill you”.
