Funeral Service of Mrs. Rauta Haggai
(My Paternal Grand Mother)
*Speaker: Rev. Dr. Pandam Yamsat
* Topic: Finding Genuine Rest
*Text: Revelation 14:6-13
* When someone dies, you should also think of your own day of death
* Two great things that God brought into the world - work and rest
* Rest is very important (physically, bodily and spirituality)
* When you work without resting, you will get sick
* Good doctors encourage their patients to take time to rest
* Sleeping pills are not always the best solution to rest
* Genuine rest is dependent upon genuine work
* Work is not a curse. It is a blessing. When we work, we are aligning with God in the development of His world
* The world is suffering today because Men are engaged in selfish work
* There is no rest where there is no genuine work
* There is great blessing in genuine work
* You are the product of someone's genuine work
* The Gospel is eternal! It will stand the test of time
* The Gospel the angel declared: "Fear God, Worship God" - We are called to worship God and Honour Him
* When you recognize God's sovereignty, you will not rest. You will fear God and Honour Him
* God created you with the ability to fend for yourself
* Brain is money. Your ideas are given for your enrichment. When you have ideas, money will come
* Many are poor because they refuse to work with their God given ideas
* Seek genuine prosperity through genuine work
* It doesn't take a rich man to raise rich and prosperous children. It takes a man who fears God
* Rest is not gotten through ill-gotten riches
* Sin robs you of rest
* GENUINE work involves sweat
* Challenges and trials and pressures are good for helping you stay on track
* Pray, work, think
* The problem of Nigerian Christians is that they do not want to pray, work and think. They are mentally and spiritually lazy
* Those who work and die in the Lord will find rest
* Works are not enough, character is important
* Character cannot be separated from you. It will accompany you everywhere you go
* Without good character, you cannot do genuine works
* You will take your character with you to eternity
* No one who does not work will ever find genuine rest
* Begin to work and God will give you rest
* Do everything to God's glory
* Train your children in character, in faith, to appreciate hardwork and you will find rest
