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……..

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
