Take My yoke to find Renewal rest, Blessed quiet - Oct 2020

🕐 5 mins


''*Come to Me*, all who are weary and heavily burdened, and *I will give you rest* [refreshing your souls with salvation]. *Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me* [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls . Matthew 11:28-29.

Jesus invited His listeners to come to Him and take His yoke, to commit to Him and put themselves under His authority. The ask is that to approach Jesus and to take His own yoke on us, the way a farmer would put one on his livestock. It means giving Jesus control and letting Him direct our efforts.

He has helped us so far 9 months in this year (Ebenezer 1Sam 7:12) and He is more than enough to navigate us to the rest of year and years to come (Yhwh Jireh Gen 22:14).

Let's walk with Him closely in Oct 2020 to direct our steps and efforts in Him. The Lord, God will help us to overcome fears, to have an increased Faith, to cross Jordan, to conquer the Land, to take our named possessions, to defeat the schemes of enemies, to delight in His presence, to enjoy the peace that surpasses all understanding and to command the storms to clam down. In Jesus Name, Amen.

He Makes me lie down in green pastures; He Leads me beside quiet waters. He Restores my soul; He Guides me in the paths of righteousness For His Name’s sake. Psalm 23:2-3

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
