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.
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 .
