Peace Is A Blessing – Part 1.
Monday, March 13, 2023Key Verse
“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.” John 14:27
Text — John 14:24-31
Message
Peace is one of the most cherished gifts that God has given to mankind but it depends on how it is being used. There are two kinds of peace: there is the peace that the world gives and there is the peace from God. The worldly peace is designed by Satan and it is temporary. It is often said that the devil does not give anything for free, he gives with one hand and collects with the other hand. Those children who seek the Devil for peace and a solution to their problems often end up in regret.
The peace from God is sacred and eternal, there is no sorrow attached to it, it is the peace that passes all understanding, it is also permanent. Only friends of Jesus can have this kind of peace. Do not envy those sinners showing off their wealth as they do not have the peace of God in them.
The choice is yours to make, either to accept the eternal peace of God or the temporal peace from the Devil; the counsel to you is that you choose the peace of God.
You can make up your mind today by accepting Jesus and inviting Him into your heart so that the Prince of Peace can come and reign in your life permanently.
