Ex 33:14
14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
NIV
Matt 11:28-30
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
NIV
Heb 4:3
3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.'” And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world.
NIV
The promised land of Canaan was the place of rest for weary and oppressed Israelites in Egypt. Unfortunately, all the adults that left Egypt didn’t make it, exceptfor Joshua and Caleb.
The life of God called Eternal Life is the rest Jesus promised the believers in Him. In Christ Jesus, the torturing, distressful and oppressive life of sin is taken away, and the righteous life of God is given in its place. The yoke of the kingdom (Righteous life) is easy. The burden of the kingdom (Evangelization of the world) is light (Matt 11:28-30). When you submit to learn from Jesus and you go about the evangelization of the world, you will enjoy the rest promised.
The life of Jesus frees man from every form of oppression and delivers peace to the recipient. God’s desire for His children is freedom from every form of oppression. If only believers will open up to the Lord and submit to His teachings and leading, all will enjoy rest.
When you enter into rest you will be at peace. Worry and fear will not allow you to enjoy rest.
John 14:27
27. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
NIV
Have faith in Jesus and refuse to worry or fear, and you will enjoy rest. Rest is faith in manifestation.
I pray that you will enjoy the rest that the life of Jesus offers all who believe in Him in Jesus name.
Apostle Sylvester Onyemalechi
