Prisoners of hope, return to God

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.
