RESTORATION TODAY
SATURDAY 28TH JANUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: FIND REST FOR YOUR SOUL.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11: 29.

Sometimes the daily pressures of life can cause unnecessary stress. In fact, many people lose sleep worrying about things or people in their lives.

But God doesn't want us to live stressed out and overwhelmed. He wants us to live a life of rest and peace. When Jesus walked on this earth, He took time for Himself. He got away from the crowds. He spent time with the Father. That?s how He found rest. He was gentle and humble in heart. Do you ever notice that when you are stressed out or worrying about something, you're less tolerant of others.

You're more likely to say something you don't really mean. But today, God wants you to cast your cares on Him and live with a gentle and humble attitude. When you release your burdens and follow the example of Jesus, you will find rest for your soul. You will be rejuvenated and refreshed! You will find peace in your heart, so you can move forward in the abundant life God has for you!
