It is in this course that Dr. ChrisWilliams make it known that through the hurdles of life, rest is one big factorthat is essential to be observed if we want to dwell more on the land whereinthe Lord has given us to rule
Though, it’s a global knowledge of naturethat death is inevitable but its effectives on powerful men of God becomes amystery as it is assumed that they have the indepth power to control thesupernatural world including death. Yet, it has been recorded that human are thecauses behind most early havoc which leads to death.
There are many factors which are detrimentto human habitation and existence on earth, among this factors is Rest.
Bothyoung and old are always on the verge of losing their time for rest due totheir magnanimous activities to their self, the community and nation at large.It is in this vein that the reason behind Bishop
Benson Idahosa was revealed.
Schedule of Archbishop Benson Idahosa was always tight on everyday basis across the globe which ranges from seminars, conferences and prayer meetings which made him restless.
Dr. Williams recalled what led to the deathof the African Bishop “As it was revealed that Bishop Idahosa slumped afterreturning from an American tour at 3a.m. in which he brought some white men,and when he landed, he took it up again for counselling and after that heattended the morning glory prayer at 5a.m and on his way coming from the prayerhe slumped and died. It is in no doubt that the African Bishop would have beenfamiliar with this busy routine which later rose to claim his dear life.”
In furtherance, this goes to many prophets,pastors and evangelists, no matter how you eat well, no matter how you drinkwater if you don’t rest, you will still break down. Many children of God don’trest, and also the many men of God. Thatis why Bishop Benson Idahosa died because due to lack of rest. In the Book ofMark 6:31 “Jesus said come a while to the desert and rest.”
Even God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day, not as if God is tired but because he want to set a precedence for everyone.
If you are not resting, you are sinningagainst your body and against the temple of the Holy Ghost.” He charged.
