ENJOYING PEACE EVERYDAY
 When we talk about peace and how a believer can enjoy  peace it seems impossible in the eyes of the world . Why? Because the way the world define and explain peace is totally  different  from the peace the Lord gives


"I'm leaving you peace. I'm giving you my peace. I don't give you the kind of peace that the world gives. So don't be troubled or cowardly  John 14:27

The way the world see peace is different, the world see peace as the absence of trouble the absence of war, calmness tranquility and seclusion . These are the outward appearance of peace which does not last for long and which are not guaranteed . The Lord in the above scripture is saying I give you my peace!
WHAT IS THE PEACE THE LORD GIVES ?  This peace is an inner assurance of victory  of success and of comfort  in all ways of life and in every circumstances .  This peace is not the absence  of trouble  but it is calmness and assurances in the face of trouble . Because of this peace we don't act cowardly or troubled . This peace in internal manifested externally . This peace runs from your spirit  and calm your life all way round .  This peace is deeply  rooted in your spirit .  When trouble and trials and war are ranging in your very front you are not troubled why?  because of the peace of the Lord within  you.  Wow! ! !

Colossians 3:15

 Let the peace of Christ be in control in your heart (for you were in fact called as one body to this peace), and be thankful.

Let that peace of Christ let it Rule your heart guide  your heart from negative occurrences around you. This peace control your heart the way you act the way you react and the way you talk. you need to consciously allow it flow . You have been called into peace where you are now currently sitted in Christ is a place of peace this is our calling a call to peace.  to be peace and to radiate peace all over our lives, our family our environment our community our church and any place we find our selves   let's be the  peace .

And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in ChristAnd the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus Jesus 
philippians 4:7

This is why people don't understand a believer  who is facing challenges but not moved why because the peace the Lord gives no human can understand  it. You may be going through  a tough time in your life right now but you are not worried or anxious why?  There is a peace at work within you . One of the fruits the Holy Spirit produces in a believer is peace . For the fruit of the spirit peace is one of them . The spirit works within us giving peace and assurances in all ways of life .

Since we have been blessed with peace let's learn and strive to be at peace with our selves with our past with our present let go of the wrong let go of the mistakes let go of the hurts and betrays and enjoy peace with both friends and foes let's be at peace with all around us as much as we can .

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 

18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 

19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 

20 On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” 

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Be the peace the world need  . Don't be anxious for anything. Don't allow the present circumstances of situations around you steal your peace. Don't allow your lack for money, job,  and family  steal your peace. for Christ has bear all your burden he has provided all your needs and want. nothing you ever need that God in Christ  has not made available  so dear children of God  take advantage of the ever flowing river of continuous provision and live happily .  Never trust in a man or in the abilities of the flesh let your hope be on Christ and His promises of peace .

THE GOD KIND OF LOVE 
there are many misconception about love but the purest and truest of all is the God kind of love . This love is born out of the very nature of God . The very NATURE OF GOD IS LOVE .

1 John 4:8   He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

What ever the Lord do its from his nature that he does them and this very nature was impacted into us at new birth so we have God's nature because we are born of God.

Romans  5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

As Christians in our daily life we are to show and manifest the nature which distinguishes us to the world . The spirit of God working within us bearing fruits producing life changing abilities .

John  13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

We are shown to the world as God's life carriers not by any other thing but by the simple demonstration of love in our daily life . We demonstrate this love life by following the example of the father

John  3:16 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.

This love is practical it's a life style it's not seasonal it's not a pretence when you say it show it by your actions this kind of love is an ACTION kind this actions are always positive derived from the word  of God  and nourish by the word of God
  let's love the God  way .

1 John  3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

When we love the way God loves we demonstrate it by the actions of giving.  We give our time to a profitable cause we give our money we give our Talent we lend help to the helpless and we raise the down casted. this kind of love is committed  is dedicated is not selfish does not hurt others and this love of God  is UNCONDITIONAL we love not because the people we love can love us back we give not because they can give us back we care despite the wrong and short comings of those we have loved

Romans  5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

The Lord loves us even in our deepest mess he died for us not for a perfect people nor a righteous people but yet he died . Why because His love is not based on our performance but on his Nature. When we fumble He still loves us good or bad.

1 John 4:20   If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

The best way we show God's love is by our day to relationship with our friends our family with colleagues with wife or husband, neighbors friends and foes Christ even admonish us to love our enemies  it's our nature.  hatred and malicious life style cannot survive around this love life . I pray you keep enjoying this awesome love life from the heart of the father .

 JESUS IS ENOUGH

I will like to use this opportunity to admonish the believer whose faith and hope is on Jesus to continue to grow in the love of Christ which surpasses all human understanding. A whole lot of Christian today have their faith and gaze on the wrong person or wrong idea.

We must focus on Jesus, the source and goal of our faith. He saw the joy ahead of him, so he endured death on the cross and ignored the disgrace it brought him. Then he received the highest position in heaven, the one next to the throne of God Hebrew 12:2

We are admonish as believers to focus on Jesus he is the source,  the originator, the author of our faith . We are to have our eyes on him and him alone.  But the church today we are looking at men we are hoping our pastor would speak we are hoping our prophet will see we are hoping our bishop will decree and our lives become tied to men . As much as we have to follow men of God they should not be the ones who decides our faith by actions or by words.  Lots of Christian know their pastor more than they know Christ. Your denomination is not the source of your salvation  so stop I mean stop the churchy Christianity and enjoy the life Jesus produces.  You have to understand what we have is not a religion with certain rules and ordinance but a life generating  from the the very Lord himself .
 It was Christ who suffered and paid for your sins  and not your denomination nor your pastors.  The pastor can be use to instruct and restore but your life should not depend  on a man.

Hebrews  12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

You should rely heavily and absolutely on Jesus on his finish work for you.  Jesus is enough sacrifice  for sin you don't have to add any human effort to a perfect sacrifice what you need to do is simply believe in the finished work on the cross . Jesus is enough for your sanctification . Jesus is enough for you in financial needs , in marriage in education in business in every area of your life Jesus is enough .

Hebrews  13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Hebrew   13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

The best thing that can happen to you is a personal knowledge of Christ ministered to you by the help of the Holy Spirit  . He will show you the true nature of God which is love and righteousness  .  Keep your mind fixed on Christ have a desire to know him and He shall be real to you. Any area in your life that things are not working  I want you to know your answer are not in a man but in Christ Jesus who is the author and finisher of your faith stay on him and your dreams will come to pass . Finally I say this you don't add God to things you do because God is not an add on but rather you add the things you do to God because He is everything  . Let your mind be established in grace . So at the end no man takes the glory of what God has done in your life JESUS IS ENOUGH FOR ME
