Hope Rising




What is hope?

Hope simply means to want something to happen and think that it could happen, or, to desire with expectation of obtainment. Better still to expect something with confidence.
Hope implies a certain amount of perseverance — i.e., believing that a positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary.”


One of the greatest challenge before us all is to keep hope alive in spite of the unpleasant situations we encounter each day of our lives. That means “hoping when things are hopeless."

There is a saying in my language; "If there is Life, there is still Hope"

We have to learn to keep hope alive when our enemies come against us. We have to learn to keep hope alive when friends are not friendly. When neighbors are not neighborly. We have to learn to keep hope alive when our Loved ones are not loving or lovable.

I have to learn to keep hope alive when my tears overtake me and laughter appears to be looking at me. Have to learn to keep hope alive when mess becomes my test and worry keeps me from my rest and achieving my best.

I have learned that People will be jealous of your joy, angry about your attitude, furious because your faith, concerned because of your creativity, provoked because of your praise and peeved because of your peace. KEEP HOPE ALIVE.


The absence of hope is despair and depression. Indeed, hopelessness leads to a sense of meaninglessness, which is married to purposelessness which can be fatal. We have to fight ourselves if we must, in order not to lose hope. For it is a lot harder to regain hope after it is lost, then it is to keep hope alive.

One of the worst things that can happen to a young person when they are going through "issues" is to be surrounded with "haters", blockers that don’t want to see you succeed, surrounded by nay sayers and pessimistic people.


How to keep Hope Alive

Stay away from Depression

The last thing you need to hear when things are upside down in your life is that you won’t make it. The last thing you want to do is to sit around with a group of petty, pessimistic people who are always preparing and eagerly panting to participate in a pathetic pity party.

When you are trying to keep your hope alive, you need to stay away from depressed folks. Stay away from people who don’t think that life is worth living. Stay away from people who are battling low self esteem and allergic to giving. Stay away from people who don’t think they deserve the best that life has to offer. Stay away from people that worship the creature more than the creator. Stay away from people that don’t like to study, don’t like to maintain a commitment to excellence in all areas of their lives.

Watch who you Hang out with

You have to be careful with who you hang out with. Don’t hang out with someone with no vision and no sense of purpose. Don’t hang around someone who always sees the glass half empty. If you are a dreamer, don’t hang around people that don’t dream.

Make your Dreams SMART

S -  SPECIFIC
M -  MEASURABLE
A -  ACHIEVABLE
R -  REALISTIC
T -  TIMELY / TIMING

Take note; if there is still live there is hope, so don't give up, keep your hope Alive.

Embrace Your Pain

Embrace Your Pain Recently I realized that if you fail to curtain or challenge what you ought to challenge they will keep hunting you. You will keep revolving round the cycles of Nowhere.  For years, I have been trying to avoid who I am now, I have tried so much to hide, although it's not been easy to accepting the fact that I have to Lead or become a Leader nor Speak, Teach and Coach People.  I am quite shy, I believe I don't have anything to say that people will listen to, I know nothing, no experience at all, I was terrified accepting the Youth Leadership role in my church, not fully prepared mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally. I failed so many times in implementing things that will cause better change, I keep avoiding challenges, I really don't want to hurt anyone, it really hurts me when I hurt someone.  But I realize if I keep holding back not wanting to hurt anyone to cause a greater change I will be known and regarded as useless an...

Stop Focusing On Your Problem

Stop focusing on your problem! There is always a day of trouble for everyman although the time frame may differ. When there is trouble, it means there is a problem and when there is a problem you are bound to look for solutions. So many times we are faced with problems and we tried all we could and no solution and we are on the verge of giving up. At times we complain alot about the problem, we made the problem so overwhelming that we can't think of anything else than to give up. You need to stop complaining, stop telling God how big your problem is, rather tell your problem how big your God is. Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Jeremiah  32:27 You need to get this right, there is no problem that has no solution. What you call a problem has been encountered by someone in the past, nothing is new underneath the sun. You need to see that problem as a stepping stone to your greatness, don't run away from the problem,...
