Text: John
14:27 (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 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 allowed to happen, but it is not meant to take a hold of us. It says 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. What we are enjoying in
a covenant of Peace that is why it is unexplainable. 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 minds take a hold of us. The word
of God is full of gospel of Peace and we are meant to utilize it.
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 we are in this world but not of it, so always remember
that 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 absent 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;
you just need to experience it, so I urge you to settle for this unspeakable Peace
and see your life turnaround.
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 walk into this
covenant of Peace in reality which is our inheritance in this kingdom, in Jesus
name.

QUOTE: Think about
it, are you Word full as to be Peace full?
