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....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

WE KNOW

  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14 Love is the authentic proof of our salvation. Of course there are different types of love; but I am talking about the Agape love (the God kind of Love). In life you will come across different kind of people even amongst friends and family that will challenge your love walk, tempting you act ugly. But you always find out that there is this strength within that makes you love them all the same. It does not mean you wouldn't be angry. The scripture say, be yea angry and sin not. It's just for a moment, and you'd be right back with your love walk. When you're angry and it's allowed to linger over a period of time, you need to examine yourself, you may have drifted off alittle and if allowed to linger, you will be a long way off-course, and a long way from home (in Christ). Be quick to forgive and love, as it is the proof of life....
