I do believe that you have been through life's situations and circumstances; you have encountered people in life who have discouraged and dismissed you; told you that you cant make it in life; you are a failure; you are a good for nothing; you have no future… name whatever they called or told you but I want to submit to you this morning that; God has a different report and view concerning you.

The Bible says, "For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again and that it’s tender shoots will not cease. Though its roots may grow old in the earth and its stump may die in the ground, Yet at the scent of water, it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant.” Job 14:7-9 NKJV

Many are the times that we take in what the enemy brings our way and we take it as the gospel truth and this we end up being discouraged. But my question is: As God asked the Children of Israel “Who has believed the report of the Lord?” (Isaiah 53:1).

Whose report will you believe? Remember God says “For I have plans for you, says the Lord, Plans not to harm you, but to give you a HOPE and a FUTURE” (Jeremiah 29:11). This tells us that there is a great plan that God has for you and me and no one can change or thwart that.

People might/will grade you according to your position, class, race, possession, colour or tribe and all they forget is that, you are not permanently there. Your current status, position, what you have is just but for a season. God can lift you far and above where they thing you can be.

Do not allow someone to “write you off”. There is Hope. Remember... Hii si ya Milele (This won't last.)
