Open Heaven 10 December 2025: Hope of Glory
MEMORISE:
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles;
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Colossians 1:27
READ: Psalms 126:1-6:
1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the
heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.
3 The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.

Many people who are yet to surrender their lives to Christ think that they are enjoying life as they live in
sin. For example, they think sleeping around is fun until they contract an incurable disease. A lot of
them also think that it is okay to make money through any means, whether good or bad, until the wealth
or possession they amass leads to their utter destruction.
Being in Christ and living according to His word helps believers to live a lifestyle that protects them from
many troubles. Those who are in Christ have access to information that will always give them hope and
keep them safe.
Many unbelievers look like they are doing well judging by their lifestyle and appearance; however, in
reality, they are suffering. Some of them cannot even sleep soundly because of the evil things they
have done. Being in Christ gives you peace and removes fears about the future from your heart. A life
without Christ is a life with no hope.
Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 2:12: That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
It is because of Christ that believers are assured that no matter what challenges come their way, they
will emerge victorious. Jesus said in John 16:33 that in this world, we will have tribulations, but we must
be of good cheer because He has already overcome the world for us.
Our hope is grounded in Godâ??s promises and not just wishful thinking. When you read Godâ??s
promises in the Scriptures, they will stir up hope in you. For example, in Hebrews 13:5, He promised to never leave you nor forsake you. This means that no matter what you are going through, God is right there beside you. In Romans 8:28, He said that all
things will work together for your good if you love Him and are called according to His purpose.
Therefore, if you are a lover of Christ and are walking in His purpose for your life, no matter the
challenges you might be facing, you will laugh last.
Beloved, I want you to rest assured that God is thinking about you, and His thoughts towards you are of
peace, and not of evil, to bring you to an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11). I pray that you will always
hold on to the hope of glory you have in Christ, in Jesus name.
KEY POINT
Outside Jesus, there is no true hope.
