Romans chapter 8: 21a says, ‘…in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage of decay…’ In our texts, Joel 2:2-28-32 and Rom 8:21, we understand that there is hope for the creation in spite of the damages that has been done by the devil and his cohorts.

Having understood the pains and groaning of the creation, it is only expected that, when there is a problem, hidden in that problem is a solution. So, we shall be discussing the hope of the creation and in fact our texts are explanatory enough. The major hope is the manifestation/revelation of the sons of god.

The creation has been brutally frustrated and its agony so much that the healing power can only come via the revelation of the sons who have been supernaturally endowed to bring the creation back to its divine beauty (place).

There are many people crying, waiting, mourning, languishing and suffering on daily basis, bond with the chains, arrested by the wicked one. But then God relies on your manifestation in that area which you are living, be it city, village, town, hut and other suburbs to liberate the creation and bring the hope into fulfillment.

The question is how can the hope of creation be fulfilled? Do you think that the hope of the creation will be fulfilled or has been fulfilled/met, looking at the situation of things in this present age? Can you figure out ways or things the creation hope to get from the sons of God at their manifestation and how you can immensely contribute to its success? In what ways, do you think some of the sons of God have been constituting barriers to the fulfillment of the hope of the creation?

In conclusion, the creation was corrupted through one man, Adam and ever since, it has been hoping to be redeemed via any means from the wicked one, Satan. Thus, God used His secret wisdom, Jesus that has been hidden for ages, against the devil, to reconcile back unto Himself. This assignment was extended for accomplishment to us. Don’t disappoint the divinity!
