Thank God For A Year of Entering God’s Rest
Thank God For A Year of Entering God’s Rest
Today, we will thank God for a year of entering God’s rest. What is rest? Rest means to cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength. Rest is an instance or period of relaxing or ceasing to engage in strenuous or stressful activity. There are different types of rest that God is giving us this year. God will give you rest over your children. You will not run helter-skelter over your children because they will give you peace. God will give you rest in your health. You will no longer spend your resources on sickness. The woman with the issue of blood spent so much of her resources by going to many physicians until God gave her rest. This year, you are entering into God’s rest. So, you need to give thanks to God.
Another area where you will have rest this year is in your finance. The widow who was a wife of a prophet had two sons but her husband left a humongous debt for her after his death. The creditors came to take her two sons but she cried to Elisha for help. Elisha gave her an instruction that opened doors of blessings to her and she had a financial rest. God is also giving you a financial rest this year so you need to give Him thanks.
Other Types of Rest
God can give you rest from war. He gave Jehoshaphat rest from war. Three nations came to wage a war against Jehoshaphat and the nation of Judah. They cried to God for help and Jehoshaphat mobilized the singers to worship God. God defeated those three nations by laying an ambush for them. Afterwards, God gave Jehoshaphat rest throughout his reign. Also, when Goliath was harassing the nation of Israel, everyone was troubled and nobody could confront Goliath. David showed up on the scene and he defeated Goliath, the same man who had harassed the nation of Israel for forty days. God is also giving you rest from all forms of war this year. Therefore, you need to give Him all the glory.
This year, God will give you rest in your business. When you work so hard and reap very little, it is because you have not entered into God’s rest. Peter toiled throughout the night and he caught no single fish. However, when he honored Jesus by giving Him his boat and waited for Jesus to finish preaching, he received a word from Jesus that landed him a great breakthrough. Jesus just told Peter to launch into the deep and he did it reluctantly. As he launched into the deep, he got a great catch. When you enter into God’s rest in your business, you will not labor so much before you experience God’s blessing. As we give thanks to God today, we will enter into God’s rest in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Points

Genesis 2:2-3 (NKJV)

Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

5. Father, I thank you for the grace you have given me to walk in the old paths where the good way is. Lord, I thank you because as I walk in the old paths this year, I will find rest for my soul
Jeremiah 6:16 (NKJV)
Thus says the Lord: “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
