CAST YOUR YOKE UPON THE LORD

 
March 3rd 2019

“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



Notwithstanding how tough a situation might seem; how worst and complicated issues have become, God is able to fix all things, if only we believe. Some people do not understand why believers must suffer despite having Jesus Christ. One, you have to note that Jesus did not say we won’t be tempted or persecuted; but He says; do not be anxious or afraid for he has already conquered the world. After all, in order to realize the worth of a ship anchor, we need to feel the stress of the storm. So, God is able to sustain us during our periods of trials and tests, no matter how hopeless the situation might seem. Always remember, that the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Two, do you appreciate the powers you carry in you? Christ in you is able to do all things; He is able to turn around any situation for good.


Three, do you truly believe that Jesus, who himself have been tried, tested and tempted would save you from every negative situation. Perhaps, you still rely very much on your superficial strength and power to actualize your desires. You won’t get far with that. Instead, place your hope, and trust in God, and His power – that power which created the whole world, will flow through you to address your special condition. It is not by your strength, but by God’s Spirit in you. God is telling you this morning to place your entire burden on Him, and He would grant you rest. Just let go of your sorrow and pains. There is no yoke and pains God cannot bear for us. There is nothing God cannot do, and God works through us to actualize all things for us! In every tough and rough condition, God is there with us working to perfect all things. Tune in to God, and hold onto Him today, He will assume your burden and give you the strength to carry on life with ease. Therefore, never give up on any situation for God is always in control. Let out your problem, and let God take control. Believe that God is already perfecting all things and will never disappoint anyone who places hope in Him.


Prayer
Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask that you keep me from falling. Be my helper and defender. Rescue me in times of distress, and assist me in times of need. Protect and prevent me from going astray. Father, you are unlimited in your power, therefore I declare you have become my hope and sufficiency from now onward. AMEN
