Introduction
"Hope" is so important to a human being, that when it is lost, people just lay down and die. William Frankel, the Father of Logotherapy, saw this truth while in a Nazi concentration camp. Those who lost all hope of ever getting out, died. Those who kept their hope and planned on what they would do when they got out, lived. When hope dies in the human heart, the mind and the will to live cease functioning. God has so created us that we must hope in order to live.
What holds for the individual also applies to a family and to a church. When people give up all hope that their family or church will succeed, that family or church will die. But as long as there is hope, there will be life. Thus faith, hope and love constitute the heartbeat of a person, a family and a church. Just as we would physically die without them, a church will spiritually die without them. The same applies to the spirit of a nation. If the "American dream," which is hope, ever dies, our nation will die.
I. The Meaning of "Hope"
A. Even though hope is often connected with faith and love, we must not confuse these three different things (I Cor. 13:13).
Hope: Concerns the Future (Rom. 8:23-24)
Faith: Concerns the Past and Present (Rev. 1:5-6)
Love: Concerns the Present (I Cor. 13)
B. While the modern meaning of the word "hope" implies uncertainty and merely wishing for something which may or may not happen, the Greek word used by the authors of the New Testament was a word which implied absolute certainty. There was no vagueness or uncertainty connected with this word. The New Testament meaning of the word "hope" is:
The inner attitude of joyful and confident expectation and anticipation that everything God has promised in His Word will come to pass.
1. "Inner Attitude:" The way of mentally viewing and responding to life.
2. "Joyful and Confident:" Positive, victorious, assured, inspires joy, stability, etc.
3. "Expectation and Anticipation:" Plan on it and enjoy it now by foretaste.
4. "That everything God has promised in His Word will come to pass:" What the Bible says about our future will happen.

Kenyans are hard working and determined people. Our major problem has been hegemonic forces which have been beyond the control of common man. However, this situation has been constantly challenged by those variants Kenyans who have sacrificed even their lives to see Kenyan join other self determining nations. This is not a privilege but a God given right.
