Rest to wait for a new strategy

 


Text: Genesis 2:2-3(KJV)

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

I know majority of us love to work, not because we love our jobs or whatever reason might be out there, but because we want to earn money. You earning money is not a problem, but when you earn, and you do not rest that is when it becomes a problem. Do you know as you rest, you are waiting to receive a new strategy? Medically, it is known that a lot of people die due to overwork and get frustrated because of no new path way. We should learn to pause or shut down and receive the next direction on that assignment.  The bible tells us, there is time for everything the same goes to rest for a new strategy. A time comes when a man needs to cease from work. Even in companies, a time comes when all the equipments are allowed for a maintenance period, how much more you and I. Amazingly, even God rested, and we can see that in our text above.  Matthew.11:28- Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. This is what brings us to a fresh and productive start.

I tell you, we need to form the habit of creating time to rest as to open up a new phase. This action of resting has so many benefits like it refreshes one and separates one from all the devices men bring. It also gives one time to develop ideas that are usually creative, and it will lead to more productivity. We have learnt a lot about rest, but the question is, what do you do when you are in that resting period? Although rest is for the flesh but it has impact to our spirit and soul, therefore, we still need to do what makes our heart glad. Psalms 16:9- Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. We should form the attitude of resting with our bibles, sleeping, listening to music, exercising, watching nature and art works, even put off electronic equipment etc.  The truth is doing all these things takes us to a place of peace, joy, and happiness which comes from within which creates an enabling environment for great ideas.  So I encourage everyone to take time out of our busy schedule to rest as to receive Gods leading, and by so doing, we will get new ideas and strategy for success in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS:

1.Father, please put me to rest by waiting for God’s template into my new phase in Jesus name.

2. Father, may our eyes not be blinded at the time of resting and waiting, so that it will be well with us, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: What was your last waiting template of action? Have you implemented all?
