THE GOD OF PEACE BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen (Romans 15:33).
In the Old Testament, God was often called the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. However, in the New Testament, particularly in the epistles, God is known, more than anything else, as the God of peace. Heβs called the God of peace more than Heβs called the God of love or the God of righteousness. We see this referenced in Philippians 4:9: ββ¦the God of peace shall be with you,β and in 1 Thessalonians 5:23: βAnd the very God of peace sanctify you whollyβ¦.β
The word βpeaceβ is from the Greek βEirΔnΔβ, which is akin to βShalomβ in Hebrew; itβs peace with prosperity. This is Godβs desire for all men. No wonder the angels declared in Luke 2:14: βGlory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.β Think about it! He brought peace between us and Him: βTherefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christβ (Romans 5:1).
The chaos experienced in some parts of the world today didnβt happen by chance. They were inspired by demons of chaos who thrive in chaos. They use chaos as a tool for perpetrating their nefarious schemes through their human hosts and keep at it until people bow to their wishes. But God wants peace and tells us to proclaim peace to the nations.
In the prayer He tells us to pray for all men, His intent is that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Thatβs what He wants us to have. Heβs always about peace. Even now, command peace for your city and your country. Declare in the mighty Name of the Lord Jesus that godly peace that brings liberty, grace, strength, health and prosperity will hold sway in your nation.
PRAYER
Righteous Father, youβre the God of peace, and I proclaim your peace upon my nation. Your peace, which passes all understanding and brings liberty, grace, strength, health and prosperity holds sway in all nations, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
