Topic: Rest 5 (Nature of God’s given rest)
Ps.23.5 – Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over*
“Thou Anointed my head with oil”
Rest is a function of divine grace. When we talk about rest, we talk about an established function of grace. That all you do is no longer by human effort, your muscles ain’t responsible, not your intellect or your connection but the Oil
When grace is poured out, disgrace is flushed down and forgotten. When God gives you rest, you seize from struggle and your little efforts yield double ” my cup runneth over” you begin to operate in the realm of the overflow. Rest gathers the fishes to where you cast your net. In other words, you don’t go looking for where the fishes are so you can cast your net, the oil of rest causes the fish to gather where ever you cast your net.
The oil of rest stops labor and gives you an overflow.
I speak to somebody this morning you may be parking up just like Peter, you have been struggling all your life making nothing out of it, and you have said to yourself “let’s just wash the nets and park up”. this month of may is your month of rest and overflow, the fishes will come to you. You have been chasing them, they will begin to chase you in Jesus’ name!!!
