REST FOR THE WEARY

PART 1

Mark 11:28-30


This message is particularly for ministers but others too will be tremendously blessed by it. I wrote it as I received it from the Lord, so it was written in first person dialogue to address the issue of worry and anxiety in ministry.


No matter how hard you try you can't do more than I have allotted for you to do. 


You can do lesser or exactly just what I want you to do but you can't do over and above what I have called you to do. 


The specific things that your assignment is going to accomplish are already written down, and time has been allocated to each of them. 


They are works that have been ordained from the foundation of the earth for you to walk in them, Ephesians 2:10


As you make Me your pursuit and not what I can give, you will begin to find yourself in them. Some, you will discover them along the way while others you will grow into them with time. 


Your seasons are scheduled, and you are brought into them. You have just only one assignment and that is to seek Me not what I give but my person, Amos 5:4-6.


Seek me and keep seeking me and you will find out you are working in the things I give. 


Never ever exchange the pursuit of me for the pursuit of my gifts. As long as you find me you will find my gifts in Me. 


Whoever owns the owner of the goods has his goods. So your concern should never be about the goods but the owner of the goods. 


If you find the owner of the goods you will find the goods but if you find the goods without finding the owner you will misuse His gifts and do more havoc than help. 


Never allow your desire for the things I give, take you away from the simplicity of devotion to Christ, 2 Corinthians 11:3. It must be Me everytime.


The number of people, the places, the works and the season for everything you are going to do are already written in my book (Psalm 139:15&16), you are not making any thing happen through your own effort. 


Your sons and daughters (members) have already been numbered and they are the ones that will come to you no matter how hard you try. 


This is why when the Lord calls them through your messages, they are the only ones that pay attention. 


The bible says God will hiss at them and they will come, your sons and daughters will be brought from afar, Isaiah 60:4.


Even if they are at the uttermost end of the earth, Gid will gather them, Isaiah 43:6. 


They will hear when the Lord hisses at them and they will come running towards you, Zechariah 10:8, 


What you don't want to do is minister to a people that are not your crowd. Nothing wastes a man of God like mentoring a people that are not your people, Luke 1:39-44, Psalm 42:7.


If they are yours, your message will stir something in them, All these things have been preordained they are not a product of a man's effort, Ephesians 2:10.


Not by power not by might but by my Spirit says the Lord, Zechariah 4:6. It is My Spirit that does the work not your power or might. 


If your message or ministry strike no chord  in them, they are not yours from the beginning. I am the one that brings men to my work such as I have called, Acts 2:47.


The promise is to them that are both near and afar off but much more importantly, it is even to as many as the Lord shall call, Acts 2:39.


Jesus understood this, He said no man comes to me except the Father who sent me draws him, john 6:44. 


He went further to say no man knows the son except to them whom the father reveals him and no one knows the father except them to whom the son reveals him.


I will continue by God's grace in my next post to explain what this statement meant. Meanwhile we are going to pray,


PRAYER: FATHER, HELP ME TO BE FOCUSED IN MY PURSUIT OF YOU. ESTABLISH ME IN MY OWN CALLING AND ASSIGNMENT. TAKE AWAY EVERY DISTRACTION ON MY WAY TO FULFILLING MY CALLING AND DESTINY IN JESUS NAME.


PEACE


SALVATION PRAYER


Anything short of you being born again and living a life of holiness and purity hurt Jesus so much. But you can make things right here and now by saying this simple prayer and mean it genuinely from your heart:


 Lord Jesus I come to you today. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I cannot help myself. I repent of all my sins and I forsake them. Jesus, I invite you into my life, be my Lord, be my Saviour. 


Wash me by your precious blood, forgive my sins and write my name in the book of life. From this day, I promise to follow you all the rest of my life. Help me Lord, in Jesus name, Amen. Congratulations you are now born again!


PEACE

LESSONS FROM THE SHIPWRECK  Acts 27&28 Sometimes God brings about deliverance painfully slow. He seems to take all His time. It is because what God wants you to get out of that situation is far more than just being delivered.  Sometimes what you come out with is not just the testimony of deliverance or promotion, an anointing comes upon you on the other side of it.  It is not just an affliction, it is also your test. So instead of God bringing you out at once, He makes you walk through the length and breath of the situation and then brings you out on the other side. If you can get and sustain God's perspective on any situation the problem is 50% solved.  You can't enter the house of a strong man and spoil his goods without first binding the strong man, Mark 3;27 You are a strong man and satan cannot spoil your goods without first binding you and his first weapon for binding people is fear.  He uses fear to paralyze people. It is his chiefest weapon, Hebrews 2:15 If God can

THEY THAT BE PLANTED Psalm 92:13&14 Sometimes in life we hurry and move from place to place only to find out we have never really left one spot.  But atimes we remain in one physical location for long, only to find out that we have reached the world even from that one spot.  The Bible talks about being planted in one spot and from that spot the shadow of your branches will spread and cover the hills and mountains and you will spread your boughs and root to the seas and rivers, Psalm 80:8-11. The blessings of God are not place dependent they are His will dependent.  People keep making that mistake over and over again and till tomorrow they will keep making it but you can exempt yourself from that statistics. You cam be in one spot and kings of the earth will come and meet you in that one spot and bring you out, that is the description of a man God is working it.  People will seek out the grace from wherever it is hiding whether in the wilderness, desert or bush.  They remain at thei

GAINING MASTERY OVER CHANGES IN TIMES AND SEASONS Genesis 8:22 Spiritual seasons comes to an end as well as Natural seasons. One thing you must learn early in your walk with God is flexibility. Flexibility and alignment goes hand in hand. This is why...... God is dynamic (John 3:8), life is dynamic and we should also be dynamic.  Seasons change but a Christian that will live above the changing times and seasons is the one that has the flexibility to be evolving above the demands of the times and seasons.  God doesn't change but He moves and his strategies and methods change from time to time to match the changes in times and seasons.  That you are moving doesn't mean you are changing. Change and movement are two different things entirely.  In the minds of many it means the same thing especially where God is concerned.  Sometimes the changes in times and seasons are caused by demonic orchestrations and marshalled as attack against our spiritual life, Exodus 5:7 The victory lies
