PEACE
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to
you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27 NKJV
St Augustine of Hippo said these words
that our heart is restless until it rests in You (God). He was one of those people
who tried to do everything that they could before returning to the Lord. He
lived the life of sin, and walked in the way of the world but later he realized
that without God the heart of man can't get the fulfillment that it needs.
We hear testimonies of people who lived
the lives of sin before they knew the Lord. Most of them they say although they
had many world things in their disposal; but they couldn't get that inner peace
out of those things. Alcohol, sex, money, fame, wonderful cars and beautiful
women did not satisfy their inner desires.
Maybe you are trying to feed your inner
hunger by the things of this world. You think that after getting a certain
level of education or a certain degree of prosperity you will get that peace you
are looking right now. The world will never give you the peace that your soul
is longing for even if you will be given another hundred years to live.
This morning, I'm here to tell you that
the peace that you need is found in Christ Jesus. Stop chasing around things of
this world that you many get the satisfaction you need in this life. Stop
chasing beautiful women or powerful men deceiving yourself that you will get
peace in your heart. Start chasing Jesus and everything will be alright.
I want to encourage you to seek the Lord
and you will have peace. Jesus said the peace that He will give to us will not
be like what the world gives. Then Apostle Paul says that peace of the Lord
surpasses all understanding; while guarding our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus,
Philippians 4:7. I pray that the Lord will fill your heart by His peace today.
****Morning Prayer****
Pray this prayer with me by faith and God
is going to answer your prayer....
Dear Heavenly Father, I will seek your
face, I will seek your peace and walk in obedience in all the days of my life.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
