LEARNING OF CHRIST.

Text: Matthew 11:29.

Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

The Lord Jesus Christ is always willing to teach anyone who comes to him. It is by learning Christ that you find rest for your soul.

To learn of Christ, you must do two things:

1. Come to Christ:* This is an open invitation to everyone, it is an invitation to all that are weary and heavy laden. Unless you take heed and attend to this call, you cannot experience true REST for your soul. You must not harden your heart when you hear His voice calling you. It's a call unto rest from all your struggles and labour. (Heb. 4:6-7).

2.Learn of Him: Having accepted Jesus' invitation, you must go further in accepting His teachings. It is by learning of Christ that you become free from your soulish weariness and heavy burdens.

It is important for your to know that true rest for your soul does not come from possession of this earthly things nor from the affluence position you are occupying. It does come from learning Christ alone.

Nothing in this world can treat the weariness and restlessness in a man's soul, only by taking up Christ's yoke and learning of Him can the soul be relieved of its wretched state.

It is good to know how to pray very well, but this without learning Christ will not bring rest to your soul.

Start learning Christ today, and you will be on your way to lasting rest.

Bible Reading:

Hebrew 4:3-11.

PRAYER FOCUS

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life. When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text : Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware. However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called believers. That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew 7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.* Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
