Finding Peace amidst the Storm (II)

Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm (a perfect peaceableness). Matthew 8:26b [AMP]

Bible Reading: Romans 13:1-7

Recap: Yesterday, we reminded ourselves of God’s promise of peace; the necessity to acknowledge God as the source of our peace so that regardless of the storm, we can be still and know that He is God. Regardless of that situation you are passing through, remember God is there with you and He will see you through with astonishing testimonies. Amen.

Today, we want to examine the role of believers in peace building. It is important to note that troublemakers are peace-less people; Christians that refuse to pray for their nations, government and those in authority as Paul admonished will always complain about the stormy state of the nation. As Christians, we have been given the power and authority to bring peace on earth by sharing the good tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ and also praying for nations of the world.

We have to discipline ourselves to intercede for the peace of this nation because the selfish nature of man wants it that all you ask for in the place of prayer is nothing but for yourself. Let your prayer point and prayer coverage change today to friends, families, nations of the world, governments, authorities and institutions among others. When the peace of God gets to these areas, we will experience peace indeed. (1Timothy 2:1-4)

Therefore, it is important we understand that as children of God, we can contribute to peace building in the country. As you pray, be sensitive. Also, report any suspicious acitivits in your area to the appropriate authority.

Self-Reflection: Being selfless is a commitment and a serious business with huge reward beyond measure.

Prayer: Lord make me an instrument of peace.

Action Point: Be an instrument of peace

Intercessory prayer: May the peace of God which passes all human understanding keep our heart

Hymn: I’ve a message from the Lord Hallelujah!

The message unto you I give;

‘Tis recorded in His word, Hallelujah!

It is only that you “look and live”!
