WHERE TO FIND PEACE

-
đź““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 hearts. God is the satisfaction of our deep longings. Without Him, our life is incomplete; without Him, we cannot find true peace. The world tries to find peace by avoiding wars and conflicts. But God's peace is different from what the world views as peace. A peace which gives us the assurance and hope that God is in control no matter the circumstance. A peace which goes deep down into our hearts and minds. This is true peace. It goes far beyond the absence of conflicts. God has placed it in Christ Jesus. So, we can only find it by accepting and following Christ Jesus.

Beloved, peace is worth searching for. It's written, "....search for peace and work to maintain it" - 1Peter 3:11 (nlt). But never think the world can provide you true peace. It only comes from faith in Christ Jesus. Therefore, to find true peace, you must accept and follow Christ Jesus. To find true peace, you must turn away from evil and do good, thus, you must live to please the Most High God. For the Scripture says, "When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him" - Proverbs 16:7. So, as you live to please God, you give the Holy Spirit the chance to live in you and bear fruits in you. And one of the fruits the Holy Spirit bears is PEACE.

_*Further Study: Galatians 5:22-23.*_

đź””REMEMBER, PEACE IS NEITHER THE ABSENCE OF CONFLICT NOR TROUBLE, BUT THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST JESUS.

PRACTICALIZE YOUR CHRISTIAN FAITH

-

đź““1 Peter 2:21 _For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: (KJV)_ Christianity is more practical than theological. Knowing about God; studying everything in the Bible doesn't make a Christian. Instead, what makes a Christian is living (practicing) what is studied and known about God through Christ Jesus. Although it is important to study or listen to God's Word, it is more important than one can take a stick at to obey and practice what it says. Therefore, professing to be Christians without godly effect on our behavior and attitude is futile. From our open verse, it obvious that we are called to live as Christ lived. Christ is our ultimate example. We are to walk in His footprints. So, not only by our mouth confessions, we are to practicalize our faith in Christ by giving ourselves to Him as living sacrifices which is holy and acceptable; allowing Him to transform our minds (Romans 12:1-

THE UNCHANGEABLE DEPENDABLE GOD

đź““Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (KJV)_ David said, "the heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork" - Psalm 19:1. Despite all the evidences the nature (creation) reveal about God and His supremacy, many people still have shallow knowledge about God and even some don't believe in Him at all. They therefore limit the power of the Lord in situations. They face difficulties and think they are too big for the Lord to handle. However, our thoughts are not the thoughts of the Lord, neither are our ways His ways (Isaiah 55:8). The Lord is greater and bigger than everything and we are to know that. "Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and  we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture" - Psalm 100:3. Beloved, the Lord Jesus never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Though we live in a changing world, you can hope and trust the Lor

WHAT COMES TO THE MIND

đź““Romans 12:2 _And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (KJV)_ Always, there are many thoughts that come to our mind that we don't expect. These thoughts come due to mainly what we see and hear. Sometimes, the devil also brings some thoughts to our mind just to tempt us. The mind always receives and works on our senses; what we see, hear, feel, smell and taste. It therefore, begins to work on what is received from any of the senses whether good or evil, but we can set guard over its works. It is said, "you can't prevent the birds from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from constructing a nest on your head". Likewise, we can't keep or prevent thoughts from coming to our mind but we can decide not to ponder (meditate) on them. Anytime we dwell on evil thoughts, our actions also become evil. Therefore, we need to delete s
