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!

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....

BE RESOLUTE

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute. Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake. In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way. Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
