"REST AND SAFETY IN HIM"


Beloved I greet you in Jesus name.

This is a time for us to exercise extreme faith in the living God. The world and all the chaos therein reveal to us the evil that is ingrained in man. It is only the Grace of God that can change the lives of mankind. No religion is able to do this except the Person of our Lord Jesus Christ. Man will engage in unthinkable and unimaginable acts of debauchery. The grace of our Heavenly Father is the only antidote for the evils of this present generation.


We will not be able to tell where the next devilish act might stem from. It may be from your neighborhood; it may be one of your colleagues or even from your own family. This, beloved, is the unpredictability of this present age. Therefore I say increase your faith in God.


With the increase of faith comes the power of the Almighty God. We lived in a past spiritual paradigm that taught that faith was merely for getting stuff from God. Beloved faith is more than that. It will enhance your spiritual gifts. That means in these evil days you will have supernatural discernment. God will expose the evil before it comes to you. He will also give you preparation ability before the enemy attacks. We have the Power of His Holy Spirit that guides us every day. Jesus Christ our Lord prayed for Peter that his faith should not fail. He knew that when Peter was away from Him he would become weak. It happened as Jesus predicted Peter became weak, denied Jesus Christ and also went back to his fishing business. Peter was away from the Christ and his faith failed. Today CHRIST IS IN HIS BODY the church. Your faith will be built up when YOU GATHER TOGETHER WITH THE SAINTS. We know that Faith comes by hearing the Word of The Lord. You gather in His house and the Word is dispensed your faith will be built up. When you are in the company of those who love and understand and speak His Word, YOU WILL DEFINITELY INCREASE YOUR FAITH TO STAND BEFORE THE ENEMY. If this is not your desire you will be on the run from the enemy day and night. You will seek shelter and protection and there will be none. Fear will be the order of your existence. I urge you build up YOUR faith through the Word of God.

 I have chosen a beautiful text to share a lesson with you:- It is captioned
"REST AND SAFETY IN HIM" 
Proverbs 3:24–26 (NKJV)24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror,Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;26 For the Lord will be your confidence,And will keep your foot from being caught.


This text speaks of the rest we must all enjoy. Lying down and having a sweet sleep are metaphors of your rest in Christ. He has ordained that for us. He is our Sabbath and the Sabbath is our rest. When we have Christ then only are we at peace and have rest. People have a false concept of when they arrive at rest and peace. Many are under the delusion that rest and peace come when your bills Are paid up; when your children begin working; when your mortgage bond is settled or motor car repayments concluded.
All these constitute the devil's biggest lies. Peace and rest will constantly elude us.
Sudden Terror is exactly what the word means. All will be calm and you will suddenly be terrorized by evil. It will creep up on you. The devices of the wicked too will come secretly and subtly. It is in these circumstances that our faith in God will rise up. You do not have to stress with concern about evil activity.The Word says The Lord will be your confidence. This is the faith that bears us up. Confidence in God. This is like a man in a stormy sea unconcerned about the dangers because his God is with him; like a person with raging fires all around and Christ in the midst of that fire or like some wild animal like a lion after you and God beckoning them to back down. He also says He will keep your foot from the snare. That means you will not be taken by surprise. You will not stumble or fall. The Lord will hold you up.These are days of manifold evils and I urge you to trust in Him. He will be with you till the end of the world. Ask Him to protect your family and your possessions. He will surely do it.Blessings to you and your household. We look forward to seeing you soon.Love and prayers
