COMPLETE REST

COMPLETE REST
GOD promised us a place of rest; and his promises and word never falls to the ground. Everyone rest, probably after a stressful day or work. Rest is important in a man’s life, without rest in a man’s life, he worn out easily. When a man is workaholic and has no time for rest, he is endangering his life; how much more complete rest, before I define complete rest let me say this, GOD our creator himself rested after creating all in the beginning. He rested on the seventh day, everyone needs rest; if our creator rested, we need to rest too. Now complete rest is a full rest, rewarded rest, a state of eternal peace of mind, waiting for the qualified children of GOD. Complete rest is the kingdom of GOD. It awaits only the sheep and those without blemish nor spot on their garment.
       Moreover, Hebrew 4 vs 8 says: This new place of rest, he is talking about does not mean the land of Israel that Joshua led the Israelite through. If that were what GOD meant, he would not have spoken long afterwards. It continues in 9, so there is a full complete rest still waiting for the people of GOD. Only the people of GOD are qualified for this complete rest. Just as in a normal human life, man needs rest, so also children of GOD need to enter into complete rest. Our GOD is a GOD that doesn’t lie, he is not a man that should, once he speaks, he does what he had spoken; how great is our GOD. The complete rest is not for everyone, because not everyone will be qualified to enter into it. It is a promise by GOD, that only his children would enter into it. It is a promise by GOD, that only his children would enter into it. Those that disobey God cannot enter into complete rest, only those that believe and obey well. Don’t be surprised now on earth, many don’t believe in complete rest, despite GOD’s promise.
      Furthermore, the children of Israel were promised a promise land by God  and Joshua was chosen to lead them. Many of them don’t believe in it, and they didn’t get there, many disobeyed and served other gods, they didn’t get to the promise land. Complete rest is also our promise land, promised by GOD to us all, provided we obey and belief him.
      Finally, Christ has already entered into complete rest. He is resting from the work, just as GOD did after the creation. I beseech us all, let us do our best to enter and make it to the complete rest at the end of the day by not disobeying GOD and having faith, a place of complete rest awaits us. It is well with us all……..

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
