Message

Fabian and his parents were returning from church one faithful Sunday afternoon. The sun was scorching and Fabian was very thirsty. His dad pulled over and bought a chilled ice cream for him, he was so happy as he drank it with joy and he was refreshed.

To be refreshed is to be relieved from stress or pain, to regain strength and energy. Physically, refreshment comes through various sources such as food, drinks, rest and exercise. You can be refreshed spiritually too. Before going to church you may be weak or discouraged but after the service you feel refreshed because the word of God has penetrated your heart and has brought relief to your body. Daily study of the word of God also brings refreshing and that is why we are encouraged to always read our Bible. Constant prayer also brings refreshing, when you are faced with a challenge instead of complaining, spend time to pray. Praise and worship is another form of refreshment, as you praise God you get relief. Words of encouragement from fellow believers and constant attendance at fellowship also brings refreshment to your soul.

Always remember you can be refreshed in many ways; do not let anyone put your back on the ground through any form of discouragement.
