HOLD YOUR PEACE (2)

Text: Exodus 14:14

 *The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.* 

The International Standard Version(ISV) renders the Exodus 14:14 thus: *The LORD will fight for you while you keep still.”* It is the Lord's obligation to fight for you while you have the duty to hold your peace. This therefore affirms that, it only takes an unwavering faith in God for you to hold your peace in times of troubles. 

Once upon a time, Jesus and his disciples were on the boat. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. The disciples lost their Peace and shouted, "Master don't you care that we are going to die?" (Mark 4:38, ISV)

This whole saga was going on while Jesus was sleeping. When they woke Him, he told the sea, "Calm down! Be still" (Mark 4:39, ISV). Instantly, the boisterous wind obeyed Jesus and it stopped. Jesus could declare peace on his environment because He is a custodian of peace. Infact, He is Prince of  PEACE Himself.
 *It takes one who has Peace on his inside to declare and manifest Shallom.* 

It is however possible to have Jesus in your boat and still loose your peace if you are not walking in Faith. *You must always remember that no matter how strong the boisterous wind blows and threatens, it cannot capsize a boat(life) where Jesus stays in.* 

Jesus, while He was in the troubled boat, He was sleeping because He is Shallom (Peace) Himself. Anytime you loose your Peace, look on the inside, it is possible you are not trusting God's presence in your life, you are in fear or you have somehow grieved the Holy Spirit. Though it is normal for challenges to come, but it must not be normal for challenges to take the peace of God's children.

We have the promise that God will keep us in Perfect peace because we trust in Him. So, *for you to continually experience Perfect Peace, you must continually trust God and rest your mind on Him .* 

 ```Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.(Isaiah 26:3)``` 


 *BIBLE READING:* Mark 4:36-41.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, help me to always see you clearly during my challenging moments so that I can always hold my Peace.

2. Father, I receive your Peace in my heart  concerning every aspects of my life.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
