Introduction:

The Rest I write of is a state of being. It is the type that exudes from within. This rest is not anti-faith nor is it likened to a state of total inactivity.  It is submissive, alert and productive.

              

 ²⁷ Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

 ³⁰ And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

 ³³ Seek the Kingdom of God^* above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

³⁴ “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.  Matthew 25, 30, 33 & 34 NLT

• What you didn’t struggle to get, you don’t need to struggle to keep.

The grace that brought this gift/state abounds in your life to keep it.  This applies to every aspect of our lives.

• When Jesus rested, resurrection came out.

When God released (his own), a multiplication and abundance came out. Giving the gift of ‘his only begotten son in whom he is well pleased’ was a huge sacrifice, as what he gave was precious to him.

• Sometimes the death of a thing, of a phase or (in) a place will force you to rest and then usher you into not just a new, but a higher place.  Sometimes you have to let ‘death’ occur.

• When you rest, you will see. Haven’t you noticed that it is when we are at rest (sleeping) that we are privileged to be shown things occurring in the spiritual in the forms of dreams and visions.

• If you have rest, you can give rest.  You can’t give what you don’t have.

A woman should have rest – no matter what. No matter what you are going through, no matter the state of things and no matter what it is you need and you don’t have yet.   

Give a man rest, and he will see and acknowledge/accept you. Help your man to rest, allow him to rest, create an atmosphere of rest.   When a man feels rested with you, he will feel he is home.

Hence, a woman should occupy her mind and life with relevance and purpose (all to the glory of God) so she is not troubled or ‘only’ mindful of what seem to be missing in her life. Like they say, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop.  If you are constantly worrying of how lonely and single you are, an ungodly idea on how to solve this problem (that could land you in trouble) will pop up in your head one day.

• Worry takes from you, rest adds to you. Babes, do not worry. (Matthew 6:25 & 27)

• When Adam rested, the best and the most suitable solution to his utmost need came out.  And when something comes out of rest, it is usually the most suitable.

Let the rest of God happen in as many aspects of your life. Let rest, regarding your:

 

*Marriage

*Finance

*Career

*Ministry and even

Be Rest Assured.
