Lasting Peace

DATE: September 10th, 2021

TOPIC: Lasting Peace 

BIBLE TEXT: Philippians 4vs7 – And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds on Christ Jesus.


To possess peace is to have freedom from oppression, unpleasant thoughts, worries and to have harmony within. There are two kinds of peace here on earth made available to mankind. The worldly peace and the peace of God which is the lasting peace. God’s kind of peace is our focus this morning, because it transcends all understanding and envelopes our hearts and souls with harmony. True peace is given through Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit, as a fruit grown on the inside.

Without forgiveness, there’ll never be lasting peace. Look at the world today, the United Nations keeps trying to bring peace on earth between nations and continents but they are still struggling to obtain it. That’s man’s way of reasoning and it is worldly. Many nations come to cease fire and yet harbor deep unforgiveness within that’s why we see cold wars/crisis going on in nations. 

There’s hope for us, as Christ Jesus, the prince of peace has made himself available for all who believes in Him to receive lasting peace, total freedom from bondage and self-captivity. What forgiveness does to the soul is far greater than the therapist’s/doctor’s diagnosis or therapy to curb your unrest. Seek Jesus today and cast your cares on Him and become a partaker of true and lasting peace as a child of God.


Prayer: Heavenly Father, I desire lasting peace in my life, in my heart and soul. I receive peace as I forgive and forget all offences and hurts.

Insight: Lasting Peace is through Jesus Christ and no where else.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...
