Stop blaming God for your situation
Bible Reading: Hosea 4:4-6.
 
​Many people find themselves in a hopeless situation because they do not acknowledge God in their ways and they have rejected His teachings. Several people including the Christians like to utilize their own wisdom, and do things their own way, instead of following the instructions of the Lord and rely on the wisdom of God. They have forgotten that anyone who ignores the law of God lacks knowledge, and such a person will certainly perish. Anyone who forgets the statutes of the Lord is on the path of destruction, and the heavens will reject such a person. 
 
You must not refuse to obey the Lord your God, if you want your situation to change positively; because obedience is the key that will transform your life. If you don't want to be doomed, but survive in this perilous world; do not refuse to acknowledge God in all your ways. The book of Hosea testified to this fact by saying "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children" Hosea 4:6. Do not accuse God of wrongdoing: instead check yourself and make sure that you do not turn your back on the knowledge of God; if you want the heavens to recognize you and resolve your situation.
 
Do not blame God for your hopeless situation, because it is your lack of knowledge and disobedience that put you in that precarious state. No finger pointing; because your condition is due to your desire for material things of this world. The craving of numerous people for worldliness has put them in spiritual bondage. Countless people are experiencing instability and disappointment due to their selfish desires.
 
Greediness and evil desires have given the devil the opportunity to imprison them spiritually: according to the Book of James which says "Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?" James 4:1. Therefore, be sure that your desires are not against God, or make you ruin your relationship with your Creator. Think deeply and identify the things that Satan is using to wage war against you, and abstain from them, so that God will restore your hope and change your situation. 
 

Prisoners of hope, return to God 
 Bible Reading: Zechariah 9:12-17
 
 Prisoner is a person deprived of liberty, and kept under involuntary restraint, or confinement, or custody; while hope is to cherish a desire with anticipation: hope is to want something to happen or to be true. This means the prisoners of hope must return to God for their desires to be realized or become a reality. In the world today numerous people are deprived of freedom and held against their will in spiritual prisons, in a manner that makes their situation seem hopeless. Many Christians are in spiritual bondage thereby making them disappointed. Nowadays, the situation is so dire to the extent that it is eroding the faith of countless Christians. 
 
Satan and the forces of darkness are making the lives of many Beloved unbearable to the extent that they do not foresee productive results concerning the circumstances in their lives. Many people, who have an optimistic state of mind based on expectations, did not have positive outcomes: instead, they are disappointed because of the difficult situation that is prevalent in the world. What is rampant in the world today is disappointment instead of hope. 
 
 The only way to counter these spiritual forces and the hosts of hell is to return to God. Therefore, return to God, your stronghold who will set you free from any form of spiritual captivity and restore your hope. Inasmuch as God has power over all His creations and none of His creation has power over Him, then He is abundantly able to give you liberty from the spiritual bondage that is destabilizing your journey. Do not succumb but resist Satan and his agents, because the determination of Lucifer is to make you deny God and betray His eternal covenant.
 
Hence, it is time for you to return to Almighty God your Creator; so that He can rectify your destiny and restore your hope without any further delay. The bible confirmed this fact by saying, "Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you." Zechariah 9:12. It is time to return to God, your fortress and place of safety; so that He can give you back double what you lost. If you want double your former prosperity to be restored to you; return to your Maker, who is your stronghold of security and prosperity. God alone can offer you hope and reward you with twice what you had. Your Creator will be prompted to repay you two mercies for each of your woes; if you return to Him in humility. Do not hesitate to return to God; so that He can repay you twice over with blessing for all you have suffered during your lifetime.
