NARRATIVES OF NEEDED REST
Senior Pastor Daniel O. C. | Nov 15, 2024
Beloved Saint of God Most High,
Calvary greetings to you and yours in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen!
May the Lord God Almighty bless you with a wonderful and glorious Christ-centred week-end ahead in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.
For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience” (Hebrews 4:9-11).
So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the true people of God; For he who has once entered God’s rest also has ceased from the weariness and pain of human labours, just as God rested from those labours peculiarly His own. Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest of God, to know and experience it for ourselves, that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience into which those in the wilderness fell.
NARRATIVES OF NEEDED REST
A butterfly will not fly when it rains because the raindrops damage its wings.
They rest and wait it out. The rest is self-preservation with common sense.
It is good to rest during the storms of life.
Take all the time you need; you will fly again once the storm is over, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
God gave us brains in our head and our feet in our shoes.
We can steer ourselves to any direction that we choose.
We are on our own and we know what we know, therefore we can decide where to go.
Remember, when Faith is Weak, situation is a PROBLEM.
When Faith is Balanced, situation is a CHALLENGE.
But when Faith is Strong in the Lord God, situation becomes an OPPORTUNITY for God’s glory .
Every situation in life is temporary.
So, when life is good, make sure you enjoy it fully with thanksgiving to God Almighty.
And when life is not good, remember that it will not last forever because better days are on the way for God’s glory.
Some people will appreciate you and some will criticize you but, in both cases, you are the Beneficiary.
One will Motivate you, while the other will Improve you.
Be positive and think positively as you hope in Christ Jesus.
Trying to manage your reputation is a waste of time and energy.
Focus on Building Character and your Reputation will take care of itself.
Remember, Judas Iscariot is a proof that you can sit in a dynamic church with an amazing pastor and still be a friend of the devil if your heart is not one hundred percent committed to Christ Jesus our Lord.
A Pen is not mightier than a sword.
A Pen does not win battles and swords do not write poetry.
Mighty is the Hand that knows when to pick the Pen and when to pick the Sword.
Pray unceasingly, set godly Priorities, upend Peace, be Positive and uphold Patience, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
Somebody shout a loud, “AMEN & HALLELUJAH!”
Remain blessed and rapturable,
Yours to reach this generation with the Gospel,
Dr. Daniel O. C.
