Hello, my friends, Michael Yusuf here, and I just wanted to thank you for connecting with leading the way.

Our entire team is wholly committed to passionately proclaiming uncompromising truth of God's word, and it cannot be done without you.

richly bless you as you seek to serve him. Social scientists, a group to whom I used to belong, agree that loss of hope is a devastating condition.

In fact, we are seeing so much of it all around the world.

And I have to testify that there is nothing worse than feeling hopelessness. It darkens

one's world. It deprives one of the clarity of thought. It steals all joy and hope for living.

On the other hand, hope is very dynamic of life. Hope is the very engine of

optimism. Hope is the very door that leads from darkness to light, from impossible to possible,

from fear to faith, from cowardice to courage, from giving up to perseverance.

Hope is the essential ingredients of the life of the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul tells the Ephesians, he said,

Before you came to Christ, you were without hope.

But no one who have placed a faith in Jesus Christ

should live without hope in that hopeless condition. Have you ever been in that situation

where have you experienced loss of hope? If you ever looked at your circumstances and concluded

that there's no way out of this,

there's no way out, there is no hope left, there is no possibility of a breakthrough.

I'm talking about the time when you have lost all hope and resigned yourself to the inevitable dark

future. Some of you know what I'm talking about when you have surrendered to the state of constant

worry and anxiety and hopelessness. If you've been there, some of you might be there now.

I have absolutely wonderful news for you. I have great news for you. I have the best news in the whole world.
