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.

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
