What is your hope?

Do you hope in yourself, in your strength and ability?

Do you hope in your wealth and possessions?

If you believe only in yourself and your achievements,

Your hope will last as long as you are healthy and strong.

Your hope will deplete as you grow older and weaker.

You will slowly fade away into hopelessness.

If your hope is in materialism

The things will explode in flames in the fiery trials,

And so will your hope.

If you hope only in God but not in the death

And resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ

Then your hope will perish in the grave.

A hope that is based only in this present life is doom

And you are the most wretched of all men.

The blood of Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection

Makes the difference to your hope.

There is hope beyond the grave!

So hope in it!

Beverley Wright (April 18, 2015)

 If only in this life you have hope, you are doom!

Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. (1 Corinthians 15:12-19)

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
