Topic: Rest 10 (As The Ever Green Olive.)
Ps.52.8 – But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
Good morning brethren, welcome to another beautiful day called, Today. As we continue with our topic on “Rest”
The Psalmist here likened itself to the green olives tree. Why not any other tree? All tree have green leaves so why the olive? The olive is one tree that lives up to a thousand years and still stays green. Not even a hash weather stops the olive from Producing green leaves.
When God brings you into your Rest, the older you get the richer you become. The olive tree was the only tree left standing after the flood. God’s covenant of Peace and Rest is what has kept you standing through all these years of turbulent storms. You are still alive and standing because God’s covenant of Peace and rest is operational in your life. The bible said, the dove never found rest for her feet until it came across the olive tree, returned to Noah with a message of Peace and Prosperity from the olive tree and the next time Noah sent the dove out, the pretty gentle bird never came back to the ark. Why? Because it has found rest.
Somebody this morning will find rest. Before the end of this day.
Rest changes your address, your Status, Personality and Relationships. And that’s why the dove never came back? It has found rest.
See you tomorrow.
