Anxiety is real. If you are stressed out today here is a word for you:

Being thrown in a lions den is an extremely stressful situation. God did not take the lions out, nor kill them. Instead, He shut their mouths, and gave Daniel PEACE AMONG HUNGRY LIONS.

#Rest

Take yourself out of the Center of the situation — put GOD there.

There is rest for us. Christ came to take our labour and give us REST. Riches for the poor, healing for the sick, resurrection life for the dead, sight for the blind, clarity to the confused, peace to the troubled, freedom for the captive

#REST

The ministry of the gospel of Christ is not for rituals and religious purposes; it’s GOOD NEWS; Rest from the troubles and futile labours of life.

Ministry of reconciliation = ministry of Good Life, full life, abundant life

This life however is built on knowledge:

One person has an inheritance of N100,000,000 that all that’s left us for him, the father’s accountants and lawyers need to liaise for him to access the funds; the other person has no inheritance whatsoever.

Both of them are broke; but one is abjectly poor, having no inheritance. While the other is a millionaire who has authority, but only needs information to access his wealth.

The #Rest you can enter = the quality of Information about your father and your inheritance he left.

““The gods know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. “I said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’ But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.””
Psalms 82:5-7 NIV

Alaiye, once in Christ, you are a god; seated in him; far above every rule, law, power, name invoked or situation. But what you don’t know in your heart of heart will kill you!

“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

That power is the same as the mighty strength”
Ephesians 1:17-19 NIV

“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.”
2 Peter 1:3-4 NIV

““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.””
Matthew 11:28-30 NIV

“So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 6:31-34 NIV

•CHRIST CAME TO GIVE US REST
•HE BECAME POOR & TOOK OUR AFFLICTIONS SO WE MAY BE RICH AND FREE IN HIM
•THERE IS NOW A “REST” FOR US TODAY
•SO DO NOT WORRY FOR ANYTHING
•BUT THE SECRET TO NO-WORRIES IS KNOWING WHO YOUR FATHER IS
•SEEK GOD FIRST, REST WILL FOLLOW

#Rest
