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

1.) Father God, I come to you today, give me the grace to start learning of Christ.

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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
