December 2021 - Month of Rest on Every Side

From Our Pastor's Desk

Welcome to this our new Month of Rest on Every Side, in Jesus name. 

1st Kings 5:4 – “But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent” 

No one is exempted from adversaries, enemies, antagonists, troubles, and pains of life. Jesus already warned us “in this world we will have troubles”, but He added “take heart. I have overcome the world” 

We all have duties, responsibilities, worries, and expectations, and loads that we all carry. These are burdens. 

We worry about our family, children, parents, job, bills, money, relationships, health, etc. Some carry guilt or fear. Of the future, that bad things will happen, of being alone, of failure. 

Many Christians carry around sorrow, sadness, feelings of inadequacies and unworthiness. BUT this month and beyond, the burden carrier, Jesus, is here. 

He says in Matthew 11:28 – “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” 

You cannot not receive the needed rest unless you come and drop your heavy burden.  Mercy Seatizens, welcome to December 2021, Our Month of Rest on Every Side. 

As we move close to end of year, the Lord will give us rest & peace from all sorrow, fear, hard bondage. 

In the midst of trouble, the Prince of Peace shall give us rest, relaxation & calmness, in Jesus Name. Amen.
