  LOST AND FOUND Luke 15:1-10 Devotional:- “Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (v.10) NKJV So many people today have allowed their situation and circumstances to affect their lives before the Lord. Some have totally lost their faith in God. They can no longer hope in the Lord their God. You could even observe many who are your contemporaries, and you can no longer see them in the Lord. They can no longer hope and wait on God, and you cannot really find them around again. They are simply nowhere to be found. There are several reasons why this happens to people. It’s either that they become offended in the church or with the pastor and feel it is enough of Christ. Some actually, for one reason or another, want to change their church for a better one but find themselves in spiritual confusion. They will in the end become backsliders.

RESTING IN HIS PROMISES

RESTING IN HIS PROMISES

Mark 4:35-41
Devotional:- “But he said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” (v. 40)


    The evidence of faith is rest. Fear builds tension in us. It is because of fear and doubt that man has invented hypertension and high blood pressure. They were not part of the creature of God but of man through sin. Fear always break the courage of men to act out for result. As potent as the creation of man, as latent a destiny can be without faith. Circumstances will always look threatening and only the Spirit of God can breathe on us to act positively against negative circumstances (Job 32:8). 

In the scripture we read today, God’s word taught us about a result of faith. Faith is actually resting confidently in the midst of storm. It is not getting disturbed by any warring situation (Hebrew 4:2-3). The disciple of Jesus was faced with a stormy situation and was tensed in fear. Jesus was also in the same boat and was resting. This is because He knows that the great I am that is with Him will never allow the storm to swallow Him.

There is a labor of faith to be able to enter into the rest of faith (Hebrews 4:11-12). This is by resting upon the promises of the word of God. The reason we don’t do this is because we cannot see the forces of God that are working for us (2 Kings 6:15-17) Life achievement become easy when you learn to rest on the promises of the word of God. Labour to locate the promises of the word of God for you and enter into the rest of faith that God might resume (Exodus 14:14) Peace! 

Prayer: - Lord help me to take my rest in your word

“UNTIL YOU CAN REST, GOD CANNOT RESUME”
