John14:27 (KJV)
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.
It is evident
to us that there is a scarcity of genuine peace in our world of today; the
reason for this is numerous, but the greatest of all is that we are worried or
anxious about the future. This attitude of worrying is possible to happen, but
it is not suppose to take hold of us. It says in Matthew
6:34 (NIV) - Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will
worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. We, as children of God, have been
given a great privilege, and that is the GIFT OF PEACE. Even when Jesus was in
this world, and when He left, what He wanted everyone to have was perfect peace,
and the God that we serve is a God of peace. Romans
15:33- Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. But we have failed to
enjoy this gift because we let our troubled mind take hold of us. The word of
God is full of gospel of peace, and we are meant to utilize it. Also John14:1 Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God
believe also in me. The truth is,
the more we keep hearing and declaring the word of God, the more peace comes to
our distressed mind. So embrace this gift or inheritance today.
One mistake we make is that we compare ourselves with the
world’s pattern of life, and it is not meant to be so, it is actually meant to
be the opposite. The truth is that we are in this world but not of this world
but heavenly citizens, so always remember to make a difference. The world
should see your experience of perfect peace and should want to experience it
and not the other way round. The peace we
are experiencing is not the absence of challenges, but it is the one in which
you are calm despite your troubles and this is because you have full assurance
in God. To be frank, this peace cannot be explained, but we just need an
experience. Philippians 4:7- And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus. So I urge you to allow the God of peace to settle you with
unspeakable peace and see your life turnaround. I am waiting for your testimony.
PRAYER POINTS:
1.Oh Lord, may I experience and
embrace the peace that passeth all human understanding, in Jesus name.
2. Oh Lord, may I encounter this
wonderful concept that God is a God of peace in reality, in Jesus name.
