Benefits of Rest

Imagine that you are coming from the market and you see someone who is willing to help, one of your neighbours who has a car is also coming out from the market, she even offered to carry you since you stay in the same area! Imagine you have about 80 to 100kg to carry.

Imagine you refuse and there is no drop! you have to gan Molue to get to your destination. Such an act is what we refer to as foolishness.

Imagine that a farmer carrying heavy tubers of yam boards a car and leaves the tubers on his head while he is seated in the car, That my friend is what is called ridiculous!

Imagine someone who went to the incinerator to drop refuse, later decides to go back with the refuse and the smell all around town, that is what I call kolo mental

Imagine someone dressed in rag for an executive Job Position. That is what we call Ogun Idile.

Ook, You get my point

All these scenarios play out when we go to church and claim with our lips to love God and surrender all to him and then as we are leaving church such commitment ends.

How do we fully benefit from rest? Tongues is meant to refresh but it is obvious not everyone who claims to speak in tongues now rests or his refreshed. Why is that so. Trends and pattern have shown that there are people who are addicted to the music of church but not the lifestyle of christ. The only thing they practise is music, they don't practise a daily christian Living.

I can't help such a person, who prefers to sing empty songs or talk empty talks. I can only help those who are sincere to want and seek after rest.

When we leave church after a restful service we must not allow the practise of rest stop. It is not only in organised service one can engage in rest, personally in our closest we will find that the joys of individual worship increases unto abundant rest. Closing the chapter of worship after we leave church is a sure way to live a life of turmoil, because the bible says tomorrow has enough trouble of it's own. We must learn to take up the yoke of christ on our own. And build a personal fellowship with God. It is Jesus that brings the rest it is as we seek to know him more that rest comes. Imagine you had a wonderful restful moment in church and you repeat it when you are alone and this becomes a practise, In the longrun you would have learnt to activate the fullness of the life of rest.

Gathering in church only compliments your rest bank and no longer to activate it. Build your rest bank because you won't know when you'll have to make a quick rest withdrawal.

I have come to realise that the christians that flourish more are those that don't wait until Sunday for God to meet their rest need, immediately they sense an emptiness they go to God, any other just serves to compliment that rest. The best is to keep building our rest bank regardless, to enjoy worship unrestrictedly.

Engaging the gift of tongues, meditation and worship are sure ways to walk in rest.

  

In conclusion, what is your business with your load of worry? Since you dropped it at the feet of the master leave it there. Because you placed your worry at the master's feet and you still see it during worship does not mean he won't carry it, yours is to place it at his feet, His, his to carry it. Drop your load and go your way shikena! As long as it's no longer on your neck you are free, no one can force it on your neck except you pick it back again.

But this is what we do we pick back the load because it's still visible, we become impatient to see it carried away! A load you have dropped when you pick it back again It becomes heavier.
