Success Without Struggle

-
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
For he that is entered into his rest , he also hath ceased
from his own works, as God did from his (Hebrews
4:9-10).
Notice the underlined phrase above: “For he that is
entered into his rest….” That rest, is the rest in
Christ; it’s much more than the rest for the physical body. It’s
rest for your soul, where you don’t struggle or toil for anything
whatsoever. As a new creation, everything required for your
success, prosperity, victory, health and greatness has been
made available in Christ. So, you don’t have to struggle in life
anymore, for you’ve entered God’s rest.
There’re many who haven’t realized this truth, and
therefore, can’t walk in the vantage position of rest. In their
jobs, businesses, projects, or even their evangelical
responsibilities, they labour, toil, and struggle. But Christ is
our rest. Our struggling doesn’t please God. That’s why the
Holy Spirit was sent to help us. John 14:16 (AMP) says, “And
I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper
(Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener,
Standby), to be with you forever.” He’s here today, and now;
He’s your Helper.
We’re living in the day of rest, ruling, and reigning
with the King, seated together with Him in heavenly places:
“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6). Notice that
scripture doesn’t say “We’ve been made to stand together in
heavenly places,” no! We’re seated with Him; and that’s not
the position of hardship, struggle, or labour; it’s a position of
Success Without Struggle rest. The work has been done in Christ Jesus; now He says,
“Enjoy all things. Live in my rest, for all things are yours.”
Even your evangelical work shouldn’t be a struggle.
Recognize this truth, and with that consciousness, preach and
teach the Word; the power of the Spirit will be in it and
convict or stir your hearers. It’s part of your blessing as the
seed of Abraham, to excel and make progress in life, from
glory to glory, without struggling.
CONFESSION
I’m a new creation in Christ, the
seed of Abraham, and an heir
according to the promise. I live
perpetually in the rest of God, for
Christ is my Sabbath. Now and
always, I walk in His glory, for
I’ve been ordained to excel, win,
and make progress from glory to
glory, without struggles or
anxieties. Blessed be God!

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
