PEACE


*DAILY DEW 27TH/MARCH/2021*

*PEACE* 

*_Key Bible Text:_*
*Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace at all times and in every way [that peace and spiritual well-being that comes to those who walk with Him, regardless of life’s circumstances]. The Lord be with you all.* (2 Thessalonians 3:16 AMP)

*_Bible Insight:_*
One's peace is truly tested when faced with diverse trails and temptation and peace doesn't mean "ignore this situation", it means face the situation knowing that you are fighting from a place of victory. So being at peace start with you walking with God. 

Funny question: while walking with God are there times when you are troubled? Why? Whatever you answered can be linked with the fact that you stopped trusting, maybe just for a moment. So that's why peace isn't just calm in the middle of the storm but calm because you know who walks with you through that storm. 

That's why Philippians 4:7 says the peace that passes all understanding (peace that no one understands): that's why I said walking with God is the beginning of living a life of peace. Because people begin to wonder in places where others fret you stand firm because you are constantly connected to God and God's word so nothing moves you to be worried. 

Peace is not kindled because you are facing some kind of situation, peace is already abiding in you because you have God and God's word. You might become troubled because you are unaware of the place of Jesus in your life(He is the Lord of peace) and so you only need to receive faith to lay hold unto the reality of that peace at that point when there's trouble! Think about it, He is the Lord of peace and He is in your life; what does that tell you? 

MEDITATION:
*_Walking in peace is not "no matter what I will stay calm". It is "I am calm because God is with me". Why? *Because He is PEACE*_

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it?  Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not?  Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve.  How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25...

THE WAY OF THE CROSS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 16TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from both the penalty and the power of sin.* (1 Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible) What are the benefits that accrue to us from following the cross, or carrying the cross to follow Jesus? In answering this, we need to understand that it is the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross that gives the cross its power.  "1. Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from the penalty of sin." This is clearly the meaning of the words, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” By using the word “tree” rather than “cross,” Peter no doubt had in mind Deuteronomy 21:22-23, where it pre...

TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS*

Image
*DAILY DEW 24TH/DECEMBER/2021* *TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."* (Job 13:15 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ It's an uphill task trying to understand God's plan, especially when we can't make logical sense of what we see happening to and around us. But we aren't instructed to understand His plans, but to TRUST HIM and be secure in the knowledge that He's working everything to ultimately turn out for our good.  God won't mismanage your life. Trust Him with it and be willing and quick to obey His instructions even when they don't fit into your parameter of what's logical. One of the truest form of worship we can give to God is to TRUST Him - leaning our entire existence on the unchangeability of His nature and counsels. ❤ _MEDITATION:_ *In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.* (Psalms 71:1 (KJV)) *#Chibuikem_...
