THE HOPE OF GLORY

Introduction

Hope looks into tomorrow;

When God made man and everything at the creation, he had somethings in mind, the same way we start
a project and have the end goal in mind. And maybe that’s why he was disappointed and hurt when man
failed him.

Some scriptures tell you the personality of God.

1) He is a caring father that loves family, and has emotions and feelings e.g. and that’s why he said
one man, one wife,
2) God loves family – But today drawing family close to one is a problem! They hate you, they envy
you. Some people want their in-laws dead. Sin, and wickedness, caused all of this. We envy, we
hate, we dislike, we don’t appreciate, we don’t show gratitude
3) He loves heritage and inheritance – picture a grandfather walking with his children and telling
them stories
4) He loves neatness and hates confusion
5) He loves total reliance on him
6) He loves the Government of peace.
7) He loves blessings and not curses. And that’s why he made everything good from the beginning
– Genesis 1:
8) Others – good food, wealth, happiness, riches – He is a just God who does the right thing 100%

What then is the starting point?

Salvation > Sanctification > Life of Holiness > Consecration > Run away from sin

Plenty of children is also not good. Abimelech killed his 69 brothers on a stone. Jotham escaped. -
Judges 9:

Ponder:

What are you going to transfer to your children?

What does God love:

1) Group worshipping
2) Secured generation
 3) A generation that thirsts after him
4) Marriages that are shining and are examples to the world
5) Diseases are eliminated
6) Destinies are fulfilled
7) No sexual sins and immoralities – He killed 36,000 in day. We struggled with additions; Job 31:1
8) Kings stay away from wine! What he told the Kings to stay away from is what they run to. Proverbs
31, Proverbs 23:31, Proverbs 20:1
9) Blessings and greatness

And everyone that serves him truly will enjoy all of this! Even the disciplines that left everything Matthew
19:27 got everything back!

IN CONCLUSION

As it is in heaven - Looking forward to making it to heaven. Represent Christ. Run away from soon.
Choose holiness. Think holiness. Think God. You’ll survive all the evils in this world, and even if I don’t
survive them, I must die on the Altar living for Christ.

Have you not heard?

Leave this auditorium as a changed person! A Christian ready to hunger for God, live holy! One that
won't give up, even when you’ve failed. If you’ve cheated and messed up things with your wife, go back
and apologize. If you’ve cheated on your husband, go back home. Return to the bible and go and see
how marriages work!

One more thing, when you leave here, the devil will also come to make sure you don’t stand. To make
sure situations discourage you. To make sure things don’t work! But that is the test! You are better of
dying in Christ with your challenges than living outside Christ without your challenges. That one is a
scam and it’s temporal. Go and ask the man who built his house on the Sand. It gets to a time in our life
when like the three Hebrews boys you say whether God shows up or note, I am his!
