RESTORATION TODAY
SATURDAY 18TH FEBRUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: ALONE WITH GOD.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16: 33.
There are so many things demanding our time and attention. Pressure comes from all sides deadlines to meet, work to do, serving church and so on.
We tend to overwork and consume ourselves with busyness. Hence, our lives turn exhausted. But God has more for us than just moving from task to task. The reason God calls us into personal, set-apart times to be alone with Him is to ground us in what gives life. Personal times with God give us the strength to see our daily work differently, and lightness of spirit to view it all with more joy and less exhaustion.
And in the process God becomes the One that shoulders up all those tasks. As our concentration and focus shifts to losing ourselves in adoration of the King, all our fussing and working of the kingdom can't weigh us down. We learn to trust that God's in control of it all. We leave more in His hands. We lose the physical strain that work holds over us.
When we live like this regularly spending time alone with God, no matter the trials we face, they won't kill us, nor take away the joy that we've found and built on.
ACTION POINTS
God want us to spend some time alone with Him on a regular basis.
SCRIPTURES:
John 16: 33
Psalm 1: 1 ? 5.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, give me the grace to spend time with You regularly in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, take away distraction from my life in the name of Jesus.
3. May the peace of God overwhelm my heart today in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Exodus 9
Psalm 40 & 41
Acts 4: 1 - 31.
