WHEN WE ARE EXHAUSTED


Bible Reading: Galatians 6:7-9

Text: "Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus the well. It was about the sixth hour." (John 4:6).


COMMENTARY

Everyone goes through periods of fatigue. Nobody can continue forever without growing tired. There are several types of fatigue. Heart, mind, and soul are all tired, but what about physical exhaustion? We can grow weary of too many positive things. However, simply attempting to survive leads us to pursue immoral goals that lack true, enduring meaning.

Jesus, our Lord, understood what fatigue was. There was no doubt that more than just His feet hurt when He sat down by Jacob's well. He was exhausted after a lot of physical activity. Jesus' foot weakness on this particular occasion was merely a preview of the massive weakness that ultimately led to His fall while carrying the cross to Calvary on our behalf.

"I will give you rest" is a promise He made. This promise is for a life whose energies have run out and for a restless heart. "Are you tired,are you heartbroken? tell it to Jesus.


Prayer Points:

1.Lord, in my tirednesss, I look up to you for strength..

2.I receive rest from every form of fatigue in my life in Jesus name. 

3.Lord, help me not to pursue things that are wrong in Jesus name


Sleeping Capsule:

Fatigue is not the end; strength is restored after it.

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
