DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES THURSDAY 04 FEBRUARY 2021
Topic: Find Rest
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “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.” Matthew 11:29, (NIV)
MESSAGE: Sometimes, the day-to-day pressures of life can cause unnecessary stress. In fact, many people lose sleep worrying about things or people in their lives. But God doesn’t want us to live stressed out and overwhelmed. He wants us to live a life of rest and peace. When Jesus walked on this earth, He took time for Himself. He got away from the crowds. He spent time with the Father. That’s how He found rest. He was gentle and humble in heart. Do you ever notice that when you are stressed out or worrying about something, you’re less tolerant of others? You’re more likely to say something you don’t really mean. Today, God wants you to cast your cares on Him and live with a gentle and humble attitude. Release your burdens to Him. Follow the example of Jesus, and you will find rest for your soul.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: “Father, today I cast my cares on You. Teach me, Holy Spirit, to have a gentle and humble attitude. Help me find rest for my soul so that I can love others the way You love me in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS: When Jesus walked on this earth, He didn’t stress Himself. The Bible reveals the secret of how He took time for Himself. He from time to time got away from the crowds. He spent quality time with the Father, and that’s how He found rest. If there’s no any other good thing that Covid-19 pandemic delivered to me during the lockdown period in the UK, at least the period gave me unprecedented long period of time to rest. The period created opportunity of being alone with God. Wisdom to learn from our Lord Jesus, by taking time to rest and be alone with God is released unto you in Jesus name. The Bible in 1 Peter 5:7 says: *”Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you”.* You shall receive GRACE to obey this divine instruction. Wisdom to approach issues of life with faith, gentle and humble attitude is given to you in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
