IF YOU HAVE STRUGGLED LONG ENOUGH: LEARN THE COVENANT OF REST | APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN

The covenant of rest and peace with Apostle Joshua Selman: understand biblical shalom, find strength in difficult seasons, and learn six keys for a life of trust, obedience and spiritual stability. If you have struggled for a long time, how can you find rest while still waiting for change? In this teaching on The Covenant of Peace, Apostle Joshua Selman explores God's promise in Isaiah 54:10 and Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28. The message presents peace as more than silence or the absence of conflict. Shalom is explained through wholeness, harmony, rest and the lasting presence of good things. The teaching applies this understanding to spiritual life, thoughts, health, finances and relationships, then traces the believer's covenant connection through Christ using Galatians 3. Two dimensions run through the message: peace in the midst of storms, and deliverance from calamity with rest round about. Through the three Hebrew men in Daniel 3, Joseph's trials and Hebrews 11, the sermon speaks to both those awaiting rescue and those needing strength to endure. There is also a compassionate word for people carrying grief, disappointment and emotional wounds. Tears are not automatically a sign of defeat or faithlessness. The message urges listeners to avoid judging another person's suffering and to hold on to God when circumstances remain painful. SIX KEYS EXPLORED: • Total surrender to Jesus through devotion, dependence and trust. • Obedience that puts God's instructions into practice. • Meditation on Scripture to deepen understanding and conviction. • A consistent prayer life for growth, requests and intercession. • Thanksgiving for God's past goodness, present work and future help. • Prophetic blessings, illustrated through Numbers 6:22–27. Read along, choose one lesson to practise, and share this message with someone who needs comfort. The service concludes with guest blessings, salvation and prayers for peace.
