WHERE TO FIND PEACE

Image
📓John 14:27 _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. (KJV)_ We live in a world of anarchy. There is evil everywhere. There are always circumstances beyond our control that snatch away our peace. Upon the measures the world's leaders are putting in place to ensure peace and security, we always have cases of conflicts, war, robbery, murder, suicides, bribery, corruption, mentioned but few. Though the world is always developing in terms of science and technology, they are doing more harm than good. The more we advance ourselves in technology, the more our peace and security are robbed away. People are longing for peace, but the world is unable to provide for them. How and where then can we find true peace? Many people are not realizing the truth about this world and life. Nothing in the world can fill the emptiness and satisfy the deep longing in our eternal restless h

SPEAK IN FAITH

📓Romans 10:9 _That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (KJV)_ It's important to know that whatever we are praying, searching and seeking for is in our mouths. The Lord God is always waiting for us to speak in faith so that we can have what we say. Peter's confession of faith granted him the keys of Heaven to bound and loose (Matthew 16:15-19). The more faith we have in God, the more keys we get to unlock the locks and to lock the unlocks. Furthermore, whenever we speak in faith, the Holy Spirit is there to show us the POWER of what we say. Jesus said, "...you can say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happened. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart" -Mark 11:23 (nlt). The bible says that Michael, the archangel and his angels defeated Satan and his angels by the bl

DON'T BE INTIMIDATED

📓Psalms  27:1 _The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (KJV)_ The word "timid" can be found in the middle of "intimidate." And to be timid means to lack courage or confidence; to be frightened or fearful. Therefore to be intimidated means to be inspired by fear and discouragement. Intimidation is one of the greatest impediments to becoming a successful Christian. The devil uses that to steal us from the presence of God. He does that mostly through the people around us. The early Christians faced similar problem but they stood for the Lord. Saul (Paul) used to breath threatenings (intimidation) on them and the Jewish high council did same but they continued to work for the Lord (Acts 4, 9). Actually, Christians are laborers (workers) in the Lord. Everyone is working hard to show the results of his or her salvation. Apostle Paul advised, "...work out your own salvation with

UNDERSTANDING DEATH

📓Ecclesiastes 7:1 _A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death is better than the day of birth. (NIV)_ Death is the departure from this life. In other words, it is the end of life on earth. Death is part of life; everyone will eventually face it. The Scripture says, "And just as each person is destined to die once and after that [death] comes judgment" - Hebrews 9:27 (nlt). Apparently, death is the end of life on earth and not the end. That is to say, all is not finished after death as some people assume. It actually marks the beginning of judgment; it is the beginning of either eternal life with God or eternal damnation with Satan. Besides, death is like migrating from your country to another country. The difference is that, there is no return. Many people fear death and for that matter hardly think about it. They go to funerals to mourn the dead without thinking of death itself. They forget that one day someone will also attend their funerals. Yet
