REST IN HIS WORD

With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

2 Chronicles 32:8

Rest is the proof that we trust and depend absolutely in God. Anxiety verify uncertainty.

Jesus said to His disciples, let's cross over to the other side and he went to sleep, and was still when the storm arose.

Peter was in a deep sleep in prison while waiting to be executed the following day, to prove how restful he was; the angel that came for his rescue had to smote him, to wake him up (how can you be sound asleep knowing you're about to be executed?).

Paul had received a Word from the Lord that he would also testify of Him in Rome, he had complete confidence in the Word of the Lord, and it was so strong that stripes, stoned, shipwreck, drawning, snakebite etc. couldn't kill him.

God's Word cannot fail if you've complete trust in Him. You'd hope to see your desires manifest. But faith in God is what gives substance to hope.

Hebrews 11:1 says,

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Whatever you are facing right now is temporal, His Word are eternal. If you have His word for that situation, you can stand firm on it.

Choose to believe His Word regardless of prevailing circumstances at the moment, it has expiration date; don't loose hope before then.

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen (His Word) are eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18

Have a fruitful week, in Jesus name!

Jesus is Lord!

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...

SETTLED SOUL

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue. When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure. When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....
