Good morning my good people of God. Hope we all slept well? I believe we did and we thank God for his sustenance upon our lives.
Today we'll be discussing about lasting peace. So get your pen & bible and listen to gain more insights into God's word
Let's Go!
Text: John14: 27
"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
In a world filled with ups and downs,uncertainties and unrest of different degrees, Jesus promises to give us peace. Many people have sought for peace in certain things or activities but lasting peace comes only through Jesus because He is the Prince of Peace. He had His own share of tribulations to the point of death even though He was a good man. The bible records that He went about doing good. He knows how it feels to be homeless, hungry, worn out, to be accused wrongly and to be hated for no good reason so He knows exactly how you feel. That is why he says that you should not be afraid or let your heart be troubled.
In John 16:33, Jesus gives us an instruction on how to live our lives despite troubles. He said we should be happy. Why? Because He has overcome the world. This means that He has power to bring calmness into our lives despite the troubles in the world. This is why believers are the most privileged and unique people on the face of the earth. Remember that God does not make a promise and renege on it. He is not man. Also,take note of what He says in that scripture, "These things have I spoken unto you that in me you may have peace..." .This means that we must always look through God's word and believe His promises to give us peace. Whatever the case may be, believe God to bring calmness into that situation and may the God of all comfort give you an answer of peace today.
Shalom
All round peace is what we need
