RHAPSODY OF REALITIES WEDNESDAY 27TH JANUARY
PEACE IS FROM GOD BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world (John 16:33).
Paul the Apostle declared: βBut if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe notβ¦β (2 Corinthians 4:3-4). The god of this world is Satan, and heβs the one responsible for the mess and chaos in the world.
The way the world is right now, the structures and systems of the world thatβs driven by selfishness, wickedness, greed and hatred is designed by Satan. The implication of this is that the systems and structures of this world can never give peace. Peace is from God, just as righteousness is from God.
Itβs impossible for people who have never received the life and nature of God to deliver true peace. Not even your family and friends can give you lasting peace, happiness, and joy. In John 14:27, Jesus said, βPeace 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.β Blessed Be God!
The peace the world is looking for is in Jesus Christ; no wonder it eludes them, because theyβre searching for it in the wrong places. The Bible says, β…When they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escapeβ (1 Thessalonians 5:3). This is the dilemma that the world is in today.
In our theme verse, Jesus said, β…In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.β He overcame the world and gave you the victory over the world. It makes no difference whatβs going on in the world, be at peace.
The peace that you have in your spirit is the peace of Jesus Christ; it gives you power over crises. Even in adverse circumstances, when it seems thereβs trouble everywhere, His peace garrisons your heart and mind, causing you to be at rest in prosperity. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
No matter what happens, irrespective of the turmoil, Iβm unperturbed; I have the peace of Jesus Christ in my heart. Therefore, Iβm full of confidence, because the Champion of Peace is my Lord! I have peace without agitation, full of rest and prosperity. Blessed be God!
