Revelation of the Word:

THEME: REST IN GOD

Philippians 4:4-7 NKJV

“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

INSIGHT

–What a paradox when we are called to rejoice in the Lord always. One’s life challenges may seem daunting, stemming from delay in answers to prayer, sickness, anxieties, drought, barrenness, personal issues, family barriers, ministerial pitfalls, economic challenges, political turmoil etc. God reminds us to pray without ceasing and make our requests known to Him for nothing to too hard for Him. Once we do this, we are then able to rejoice in the Lord through all circumstances even as God grants us His peace that is unfathomable. Therefore when we are weak, then we remain strong because of the strength and victory that our Lord and God has given us.

PRAYER

How lovely is Your dwelling place our Lord Almighty. Our souls yearn even faints, for You Lord and Your courts. Our heart and flesh cry out for our living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest where she may have her young, a place near Your altar, Lord Almighty, our King and God, we find rest in You. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house and praise You. Blessed are those whose strength is in You and whose hearts are set on You. May You fight for us every battle in our lives, families, churches, ministries and nation, for the battle belongs to You. May You protect us and deliver us as You have sworn by Yourself, we will forever boast in You. Lord You have promised to grant us Your peace, not like the world gives but Your peace that surpasses all human understanding to guide our hearts and minds in You Christ Jesus. Our souls wait even faint for Your presence, may You grant us rest as a nation during these times of political uncertainty. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. May You take charge of this nation and reign over it for this country and all people belongs to You. So dear Lord Jesus we rest in You and cast all our cares and anxieties unto You for You care for us. May Your protection, righteousness, love and peace; reign in our nation, among us, among all young people and leaders forever. May You bless all street children and deliver them from all their troubles. May You enable us to rejoice in You always dear Holy Spirit. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now and forever more. Amen
