“ Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ” Hebrews 4 : 11 - 12 NKJV The last verse in the Book of Judges “ In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes ( Judges 21 : 25 )” corroborated the dilemma in human decision-making principles. While superiority of argument in our courts of law has been bane of the system of injustices, high-handedness, and oppression, even the seemingly acquainted in human eyes of justice has often lived the rest of his life without real rest. The true Judge and the Giver of true rest in all of human affairs is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Anyone who opts to live by doing what is right in his own eyes has chosen to ab...

Its power is unconquerable, pleasure is unending, and presence is unquenchable. Jesus Christ i...

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart .” Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Those who usually slump into disobedience against the promised rest from God always have their disappointment. The path to the promised rest in life is usually rough. And the enemies know how to move fast and cut the crap of diligence before every disappointed soul, offering deceptive pleasure, promotion, and prosperity. Unfortunately, the rigged rest through deception and unrighteousness cannot guarantee anyone the apparently rough rest from God. It doesn’t and wouldn’t offer the passage and privilege of soul searching, timely transformation, and real righteousness. But when any righteous child of God believes and abid...
