To lie down is to make the body inactive, to lie down is to assume a posture most suitable for medical examination, to lie down is to rest after labour, a father in faith once said "If u fail to rest, u will be laid to rest"
It is a common event to see Christians out of zeal for the Lord and need for other issues of life get so busy that we fail to rest, for instance, a Christian student in a tertiary institution, he has class by 7am, gets home by 4pm, goes to church by 5pm, gets back home by 8pm, cooks and eats by 10pm, attends to assignment, it’s almost 2am, he has to observe quiet time, it's 4am, and school preparation again
Please can someone help me tell this student, rest or you will be laid to rest the following day, he has to attend vigil again and it continues like that, at the end of the semester, he gets lower grade compared to an unbeliever and starts looking for pastor to pray for change of grade.
When the pasture is green, the sheep will lie down. Tell me about that hard working woman, that hard working mother, house work is so demanding, Church activity is so engaging, job is so tasking, please rest before you are laid to rest.
God is not interested in you breaking down before the completion of your assignment on earth, He makes u to lie down in green pasture. He has prepared the pasture, identify it and struggle will cease.
Planning and trusting in God are key instruments to have rest. Sir/ma, I decree into ur life, Every power keeping rest away from u, is cursed in Jesus name.
There is a kind of peace that the world gives; there is no rest in it, Jesus gives peace that has rest.
Sir/ma, find peace in what the Lord has provided the psalmist who spoke on green pasture, believed in God, if u are yet to believe in God, this rest might be hard. Permit me to chip this in “There is a type of rest called rest in peace”, Yours will not be rest in peace.
When you rest, you have strength the book of Genesis tells us "and God rested", it is spiritual to rest, God is spirit.
Some of the health issues we face as Christians are not because of some spiritual attack, Noooo you just need to rest after labour, Rest keeps ur stay in God. In the Garden of Eden, there was peace because God was there; Adam and Eve kept their place as long as they had rest in God.
Sir, God has made available all the provision u need for ur vision, u just need to discover it, by rest, u submit the business to the owner of the business, you are just a caretaker, if u fail to rest, u will be laid to rest and someone else will take over.
Sir/ma, no one will take ur place, u must fulfill ur mandate on earth, Joshua fought battles all his life, he could not rest. And just before he was laid to rest, he said "there are more lands to conquer", he didn't complete his task. When u lie down, u live longer
