“They work together, they grow together, they impart life together, with maximum effect.”

Understand this: Faith to receive is in the present; the manifestation of what we have received is in the future. Having believed, we enter into our rest and hope takes over.

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said… the works were finished from the foundation of the world.”Hebrews 4:3

Faith is the manifestation while hope is the expectation. When you lack expectation, you will not see the manifestation, although the promise is available from the foundation of the world for you to enjoy.

Therefore, hope is vital for the working of your faith. You cannot neglect the place of hope in the working of faith and expect your faith to produce. They must work together, if you will have your testimony as it is in the case of Sis. Olaojo, O:

For many years, I prayed for a husband; still my hope remained intact. An opportunity came for me when Bishop Oyedepo called for professionals to work on Canaanland Project, and I was privileged to be one of them.

The Bishop anointed us on one of the days we were assembled together. I said to God, ‘This is a rare opportunity, and I am ready to give it all it takes. But one thing I want You to do for me is to give me my own husband. I want You to remove my reproach and shame.’ God did it! My husband came the following week, and asked for my hand in marriage! In October, our month of distinction, I wedded! I give God all the glory!..
