What do you do when you are hopeless?
What you do when you are extremely desperate over something whatever that may be

What do you do when life has lost its meaning and you find no pleasure in it anymore?

Whatever situation has imprison your life-receive freedom from it in the name of Jesus.
For anyone who was hopeless and not knowing what to do, see Jesus and be saved permanently –in the name of Jesus.
Understand that Jesus Christ came to save for two major reason:
To save you from the troubles of satan in this world now so that you can enjoy the peace in Him
Secondly Jesus came to save you so that you can live with Him in eternity( to make you righteous for heaven)

In this scripture we clearly see that earthly blessing is guaranteed and eternity is guaranteed if you are a follower of Christ. Nothing must move you.
So in essence, the troubles you are facing now, the bible calls it persecution, and they cannot destroy you.
If you know the God we are serving and who is by your site, relax while in prayer, don’t panic, don’t despair. The day of divine visitation is at hand
Don’t make hardship a normalcy, we are not hopeless people.
God has good plans for our lives although it does not look like that at the moment JEREMIAH 29:11
Wednesday service, the Lord reminded us about the desert stretch or the desert expanse.
Just as the children of Israel experience the journey through the desert, we also do experience the same even though not physical desert as they did
The Challenges of the journey in the desert
The journey was long
The food
The thirst
The complaining
There is a spiritual desert too even for children of God
You pray-
You fast
You cry out
But if you lack understanding you might miss the promise land.
Not all the children of Israel entered the promise land, because the challenges posed by the journey forced them to take wrong decisions
I pray that it will not be your portion in the name of Jesus.
You will not miss your promise land in the name of Jesus
You will not miss your day of divine visitation in the name of Jesus.
Understand also, you are not the first to go through those challenges, but how you behave and do is what matter most
Always strive to end well ……………………….
David understood in psalm 42(read it again)
In time of persecution, the more they come the closer they must bring you to God
It is only God who can deliver in hopeless looking situations
David cried day and night, people even ask where is God, mocking and persecuted
But David addressed his soul not to be down cast but to continue hoping in God
David had an assurance that the time of divine visitation will come when he will still praise God.
Have an expectation, have an expectation Psalm 121- final reading
