LEARN OF ME
Memorise:
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shali find rest unto your souls. .. Matthew 11:29
Read:
Psalm 25:9-10
Message
In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus invites those who are burdened to come to Him so that they can find rest. However, He said that when they come, they should take up His yoke and learn of Him. it is possible for God to give you rest and bless you so much that you will say, "Lord, this is too much." However, you must submit completely to Him and learn of Him. Joshua 1:8 says that when the book of the law does not depart from your mouth, you will have good success. Study your Bible diligently so that you can truly learn God's ways. Once you know His ways and follow Him, you will begin to bear fruits in every area of your life.
In Deuteronomy 28:1-2, the Bible says that if you hearken diligently to God's word and observe to do all He commands, blessings will pursue and overtake you. Become addicted to God's word such that when you face any situation, the first thing that will come to your mind is, "What does the Bible say about this kind of situation?" God's word shows us His will concerning every situation, and this should be the basis of our decisions.
Jesus said that when you come to learn of Him, you must note that He is meek and lowly. Those who will learn of the Master must also have meek and lowly hearts; they must be teachable. Pride makes people puffed up and become full of unnecessary weights and burdens. To learn God's ways and enjoy good success, you must be willing to overlook many things and obey His instructions even when they seem foolish. God's ways are different from the ways of man (Isaiah 55:8-9). When God asked Moses to stretch his rod over the Red Sea as the Egyptian army closed in on the Israelites, it looked like a foolish move, but Moses obeyed because he was a meek man (Exodus 14:16, Numbers 12:3). You cannot be set in your ways and expect God to lead you into good success. In Psalm 32:8, God promises to lead and guide His people, but in the next verse, He warns them not to be like the horse or the mule that must be led with ropes before they can obey.
Beloved, God cannot lead you into good success if you are like a horse that is so fast and doesn't wait for instructions or a mule that is so stubborn that it won't move until it is beaten.
