ENTERING INTO YOUR REST
When Jesus talks about rest, it is about entering into the promises God has made to you [Matthew 11:28]
Everytime you come to Jesus, you're positioning yourself for rest and peace.
If you have not entered rest in a certain area, it's either there is a truth you've not known or some truth have not been applied.
There is no true rest outside Jesus Christ
1. Take His yoke: This means to become his servant, taking responsibility to work for God. Move from the inheritance mentality to the responsibility mentality.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR THE LORD?
Are you putting enough effort in the yoke you're taking ?
We can be brothers by birth but to be servant is always by choice. Serve your parents, serve your masters.
Take his yoke means readiness to labour for God, serve people that God has placed authority over you.
Let His burden be your burdens: One thing that worries Christ is the souls that has not been saved. Win them and help them to stay in the house of God, care for them, do the little/much you can do for them.
2. Labour in the Lord / Learn of Him [Hebrews 4:2:11]
Learn his ways, make efforts/labour to become the best of what God wants you to become by acting with the word of God.
Reward comes by labour not by grace, push to overcome death, to overcome sin, poverty.
Sin will hinder you from having rest
To learn of him means building your character in Christ to become the person he has ordained for you.
Put away fear and unbelief which hinders you from acting on the word of God: Edify and build yourself spiritually.
3. Give the Lord and His ark a resting place in your life, home, marriage, business.
[1 Chronicles 28:2; 2 Chronicles 6:41]
The ark represents the presence of God. The resting place for the Lord is your heart, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, so therefore flee bitterness, immortality and unrighteousness [1 Corinthians 6:18-19]
A life of Holiness gives God a resting place and when you give him a resting place, He will give you rest, dedicate the things you have to God, teach your Children to love the Lord, don't evict the Lord, be regular in church.
4. Thanksgiving
You want God to give you rest, Give him rest!
As you do the word of God you will find rest.
Every spirit/force saying you will not have rest, giving you troubles in any area of your life let them catch fire in Jesus name Amen.
