RESTING IN HIS WORD

Text :  Luke  1:38  

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her._ 

The same angel(Gabriel) the Lord sent ro Zechariah was also sent to Mary. An ordinary girl (Mary)easily accepted and rested in God's words but not the Priest.(Zecharias).

Mary responded from a simple heart of Faith: BE IT UNTO ME *_ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD.* How the Lord long to hear same from many of His children today. 

This is a simple heart of belief in a the good news. It is however strange how Zecharias, the Priest(Who stands in the gap between God and man) cannot believe God for a child. He must have read about how God gave Abraham and Sarah children. But Mary had never heard about how a virgin could become pregnant without any contact with a man, yet she believed.

Our God is not so moved by your religious practices as much as He is moved by our Faith in His words.

We must learn to rest in His Word by simply plunging in with a simple heart of Faith. 

We will not know what Rest is, until we come to Him in and by Faith.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  The promise we have from our Lord is REST! Matthew 11:28-29.

To come into this rest, we must:

1. *Come to Him by Faith* .

     For he that comes to Him must believe that He is, and He's a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6.

2. *Take up His yoke upon you,* 

The yoke of Jesus is unlike the yoke the world is placing on you. It is an easy yoke of simply obeying His commands. 

3. *Learn of me* ; 

for I am meek and lowly in heart: 

Jesus is asking us to follow in His steps of meekness and humility. It takes humility and meekness for you to accept and believe God's word. Mathew 11:27-30

 *When you follow the above, you  shall find rest unto your souls.* 

Bible reading: Luke 1:1-38.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
