PERFECT PEACE


Text : Isaiah 26:3. 

 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Let's look at some of the key words in our text :

1.) Perfect peace:First and foremost, this suggests that there are other kind(s) of peace.  And rightly so, Jesus told us that this world offers another kind of peace. He says:

I am leaving you at peace. I am giving you my own peace. I am not giving it to you as the world gives. So don’t let your hearts be troubled, and don’t be afraid. (John 14:27, ISV). 

This goes to show that  the world offers her own kind of peace, albeit the imperfect one, the one that brings troubles with it. The peace of this world is a temporal, short-lived peace. And it always come with many strings attached. 

It is often said that when this world gives you a cap it collects your head in exchange.

 Just pause and consider; aren't you giving more than necessary for the token you get in exchange?

 *It is only the blessing of the Lord that makes rich without adding any sorrow to it.* (John 14:27).

 *Jesus Christ is the Prince of peace, He is the only custodian and giver of Perfect Peace.* Isaiah 9:6.

If you desire peace in the true definition of it, then stop looking for help where it cannot be gotten. Come to the Prince of Peace Himself, let Him flood your heart and life with peace like a river.

 Bible Reading :

 John 14:27-31.

 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I receive the perfect peace that only the Prince of Peace offers in every aspect 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...

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...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
