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 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.
