REST IN HIM

REST IN HIM

God wants us to find rest in Him and not to struggle by our own strength. Come to God today and allow Him to refresh and renew us with His unfailing love.

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

The secret of longevity is learning to find rest in God. We need to rest when we are tired or exhausted from our labour. We need to rest when we have done everything possible. We need to rest when we have prayed to God. We need to rest when we have tried our best to achieve something. We need to rest when we have served the Lord. Learning to rest will help us to move forward even further.

We can rest by sitting in the presence of God. We can rest by worshipping God. We can rest by reading and mediating in God's words to find encouragement and new direction. We can rest by trusting in God and not worrying about various matters. We can rest by surrendering our lives to Him. We can rest by doing some exercise or enjoying our hobbies. We can rest by taking a vacation.

Rest in the Christ today in order to achieve greater things in God.

MORNING PRAYER

MORNING PRAYER
God desires us to offer our prayers to Him everyday so he can act on our behalf. Come before God today and pray for His blessings, miracles and healing.

Ps 5:3 In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

King David was a man of prayer. He lived out a lifestyle of prayer since his youth, when he was just a shepherd. King David was a man after God's heart. He came before His God every morning in prayer and waited expectantly for God's reply. Prayer is two-way communication, not a one-sided talk. When we pray to God, we should spend some time waiting upon God in silence so God can speak to us. It is good to spend some time getting in the presence of God through worship. Don't rush in and out when it comes to building intimacy with God.

We need to allow time for God to speak into our lives. God wants to lead and guide us into the right path and direction.

HIS FAVOUR AND HONOUR

HIS FAVOUR AND HONOUR


God gives us favour and honour when we obey and serve Him. Ask God for more of His favour for our family, business and ministry today.

Ps 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honour; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

What a wonderful promise that God has written in His Word! God pours His favour and honour upon His children. We can walk in God's favour and honour by obeying and serving Him. Many Bible characters received favour from God. Abraham received favour from God because he obeyed God’s call to live in a foreign land. Joseph was favoured by God because he was following the vision God has given him to rule Egypt. Moses received favour from God because he led the Israelites out of the land of slavery into the Promised Land. Joshua received favour from God because he led the Israelites into battle to conquer the Promised Land. Ruth received favour from God because she followed Naomi back to the Israel and God gave her an eternal inheritance. David received favour from God because he was not afraid of Goliath and defeated him in battle.

Peter received favour when he obeyed Jesus to throw down the fishing nets for a catch. They caught so many fishes that the boat began to sink. The little boy with two small fishes and five loaves of bread received favour from God when Jesus multiplied the food to feed five thousand people. A woman with a bleeding issue for 12 years received favour from God when she touched the hem of Jesus' clothes and her bleeding ended. The wealthy tax collector named Zacchaeus received favour from God when Jesus invited him for dinner – Zacchaeus repented of his sin and lived for righteousness.

Let us follow and serve God today and allow His favour and honour to pour into our family, business and ministry.
