Rest

I am already having slight difficulty in remembering exactly how long I have been here at Glory Place, Mantin. Yes, it's been a month and a half now but the days are just accumulating like nobody's business. Time seem to fly by faster as each day passes. Truly, praise Yahweh.

I am still adapting to the times and the seasons in this place. Though I have yet to find suitable alone time together with Yeshua, I thank Him for His abundant grace and mercy that I am able to redeem the moments together with Him during my farm duties early in the morning even unto the closing of the day with my prayer slot of 1am - 3am. Truly it is the practice on the field which tests one's closeness together with Yahweh. More so when every work I do, every conversation holds remembrance of Yeshua in it, it becomes hard to not be connected with our living Elohim.

Thank Elohim for my father who has given me insight to this ministry. It is not how much we can do; because no flesh should glory before Yahweh and our works sometimes tend to carry over to the self more than we think. It is not how good we do it; because no one is good except Yahweh. It is about rest. Resting means to enjoy the good labour which the hands brought forth. To rest is to stop and relax, go receive, enjoy. And we can, in Yeshua! When He died for us on the cross, all the works that had to be done, all the promises that have yet to be fulfilled, were all brought to completion through Yeshua Messiah. In Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily and that same fullness is in us this day. What joy that now it is all of Elohim through His Spirit and no longer anything of us. We have been saved to enter into that rest, to receive what was once afar off but now has been brought near through Messiah.

The topic of rest' in itself is manifold and will take up plenty of time to expound on. Needless to say, we are not called to do Elohim's work for Him for who is able to make the heavens and the earth, to give and take away life like Him? It is Elohim who works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. So if it is Elohim who works, we then must rest and give leeway for the Holy Spirit to work in and through us. For the very weakness of Elohim is stronger than the strongest man, and the foolishness of Elohim wiser than the wisest of men. Thus it pleased Yahweh to put to shame the haughty in wisdom and strength of men with the simplicity of the gospel which is Yeshua Messiah. Hallelujah!
