DO WHAT GOD SAYS NOT WHAT THE WORLD SAYS . When people wonder what causes divorce, they say faults could come from either the husband or the wife – it could be infidelity or adultery and this goes on from generation to generations in this manner. What bothers is that, what happens in one place is similar or the same in other places. The figures are mind-blowing especially in the US, Europe and other regions of the world. Back in the days when Jesus was on earth; the Pharisees asked Jesus about this subject 2 but people misinterpreted what Jesus said about divorce. There were two things Jesus said, He pointed out what Moses told them to do which was according to the hardiness of the people’s heart which said that they can file a certificate of divorce on the bases of adultery 2 : secondly He said God plan marriage for both the man and the woman who are two people to become one flesh 2 – one flesh .

R ELIEF. E XERTION-FREE. S ORROW-FREE. T RANQUILITY Rest is an assurance state that nothing evil is permitted to penetrate your life neither fear nor sorrow, it is rest assured by Jesus. The word rest can be explained again as peace ; remember Jesus said peace I give not as the world gives, in this world you will face tribulations take heart (rest your mind) I have overcome the world 1 . The Greek word for “rest” is katapausis equivalent to the Hebrew word Noah (Heb. 4:1). Anapuasis, “rest from weariness” (Matt. 11:28). Anesis “relaxation” (2 Thess. 1:7). Sabbatismos, a Sabbath rest, a rest from all work (Heb. 4:9; Revised Version “Sabbath”), a rest like that of God when He had finished the work of creation. The assurance and the reassurance of rest is only activated in believing God for rest, which He has promised in His words. When God rested the seventh day He did nothing at all – nothing, rather He stayed off to get rest from work – the question may arise was God tired?
