DAILY HOPE DEVOTIONAL: JANUARY 22 LOOK UP AND LIVE. Scriptures: Number 21:4-9, John 3:14-21
The children of Israel murmured against God. God has just delivered them from the land of slavery in Egypt.

Their frustration resulted in some harsh words…

DAILY HOPE DEOPTIONAL: JANUARY 18 BECAUSE YOU HAVE SAID IT, I WILL OBEY” (2) SCRIPTURES: LUKE 5:1-7; JEREMIAH 35: 2 – 6, 19
Our devotional yesterday told us how Apostle Peter obeyed the LORD Jesus Christ when he was told to cast his net to the right side of the boat on hearing Peter saying they have toiled all nights and caught nothing. Jesus’ instruction came at the most hopeless time for Peter. Here is a man known…
DAILY HOPE DEVOTIONAL: JANUARY 17 “BECAUSE YOU HAVE SAID IT, I WILL OBEY.” (1) SCRIPTURES: LUKE 5: 1 – 7
Peter and the other disciples toiled all night, (even as professional fishermen) yet, they caught nothing. They were tired and frustrated and were ready to go home empty handed when Jesus showed up and with a specific instruction: “launch out into the deep and lay down your net for a drought.” Peter told Jesus, master,…
DAILY HOPE DEVOTIONAL: JANUARY 16 SUPREMACY OF INTEGRITY IN LIFE SCRIPTURE: 2 CORINTHIANS 8: 21; PROVERBS 15: 27; JOB 31: 1, 9 – 10
We might have seen from our discussions on various areas that disregarding integrity brings distortions to activities in life. The legal institutions, and the political organizations will be marred without it, economic activities can crumble if integrity is not honoured, and the religious sectors will lose its true existence amongst human beings; so also…
DAILY HOPE DEVOTIONAL: JANUARY 15 BRINGING BACK INTEGRITY INTO LEGAL SYSTEM (2) SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 5: 20; PROVERBS 17: 15
As seen in yesterday’s devotional, God Himself established legal institution principally on the foundation of realistic integrity. Realistic in the sense that any other form legal institution is handled otherwise negates the actual focus God has in mind when asking Moses to appoint judges and judicial officers. The principles of legal institutions touched yesterday…
DAILY HOPE DEVOTIONAL: JANUARY 14 BRINGING BACK INTEGRITY INTO LEGAL SYSTEM (1) SCRIPTURE: DEUT. 16: 18 – 20
If there should be anywhere integrity is expected to be observed at highest level, it should be in the legal system. Legal functions involve, amongst other things, implementation of equity justices. It takes high level integrity to mediate between parties with strong differences. The judges and the lawyers as well as other legal personnel…
DAILY HOPE DEVOTIONAL: JANUARY 13 BRINGING BACK INTEGRITY INTO POLITICS (3) SCRIPTURE: 1 TIMOTHY 2: 1 – 4
As we might have seen so far, the political systems worldwide have been seriously destroyed by self-interests giving ways to leaderships of wickedness and insanities. Leadership by self-assertion and self-appointment is going on in the world these days, either directly or by intringes favouring sit-tight leadership. Any of these mentioned negates political integrity. History…
DAILY HOPE DEVOTIONAL: JANUARY 12 BRINGING BACK INTEGRITY INTO POLITICS (2) SCRIPTURE: 1 Kings 2: 1 – 4; 1 PETER 2: 16 – 17
As read yesterday, if every human being is guided with being sure that the things we say and things we do must align; and allow this to reflect in our thoughts and actions, integrity will take its roots deeper in policy making and implementations. Some present politicians found this very difficult to work with….
