PEACE

Text: John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 

The world we live in today is a broken world, this is because  man broke his relationship with God in the Garden of Eden. 

Since the world is broken, Peace (Shallom) has become a scarce commodity in our world. There is no peace between man and God; no peace between man and man; no peace even within a man as a being; no peace between man and the creations. Peace was taken away the moment Adam and Eve sinned. 

This was the reason Jesus came to the world to restore Peace! Truly, Jesus is the answer for the world today. Above Him there is no other. Jesus is the Way. 

It's now an individual choice to accept or reject the Peace Jesus offers. The peace this world offers you is no peace in anyway. *Nothing in this world can give a man lasting Peace of Mind. *Only God is our Shallom(Peace).*

When you critically look at the efforts of man to bring peace to his world, you will realise that man cannot restore perfect peace on earth. All the international organisations that were established to bring peace at different fronts are now clueless themselves. 

We needed Peace during covid 19, but the World Health Organisation(WHO) could not provide one. Covid 19 had a good ride until Shallom came from the very God of Peace Himself. UNO has not been able to put an end to wars within and and amongst Nations. IMF (International Monetary Fund)could not bring peace to the world's economy. They have no true peace to offer any Nation that is being ravaged by underdevelopment. Even the governments of Nations have no tangible peace to offer her citizens. 

Hence, *_Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth..."John  14:27_*  

 *As a true child of God, you do not need to be frightened by any situation in this world, you must come to understand that God, our Peace(Shallom)is at work in you. Just rest in His Peace!* 

Jesus further said in _John 14:27, "...Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"_ 

When you are in want   of anything, the first thing that you need is PEACE. When Peace is present within you in turbulent and trying times, you will surely overcome. 

Once your mind is guarded against anxieties and worries, that means Peace is at home in your heart, then you  are ready for the Lord's intervention in your life

 *Are you in need of peace today? Turn to Jesus and pour out your anxieties and worries before Him. Lay them down at His feet* 

 *Bible Reading* : John 14:27-31.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
