All Surpassing Peace
By Pastor 'Deji Adewle.
Philippians 4:4-7 – “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”
This part of the Bible talks about the relationship between some choices we make and God’s peace. For peace that surpasses all understanding, Paul says we must rejoice, be gentle, be not anxious but pray with thanksgiving.
Then, God’s peace, even in hard situations, will flow & stand guard to keep our hearts and minds. God desires to give us His peace but those are a few choices that we need to make along the way. As soon as difficulty arises and pain intrudes, a per-son ceases to rejoice.
But joy is a gift from God that enables believers to find hope and peace—even when life seemingly falls apart. The love of Almighty God is unconditional, and His indwelling Spirit will never abandon us.
He understands everything that we face and promises to provide for our needs. When we stop to consider the amazing blessings that are ours in Christ, gratitude should overwhelm us.
Sadness concerning circumstances may still endure, but the joy of the Lord will carry us through even the deepest pain
So, as we rejoice, live humbly and pray, trusting God that He will bring about His will in our lives; as we go through life with less anxiety because we know God is in control; it is then that we experience the peace of God which transcends all understanding.
You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

Peace Like a River
By: Pastor Dr. Oladotun Reju
John 14:27 - “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”.
Peace means rest, safety, good health, quietness, prosperity. Peace is being calm and having no troubles what so ever, even in the midst of chaos or storm.
Peace is truce, ceasefire, treaty, armistice, pacification, conciliation, cessation of hostilities, rest, stillness, calmness. All the listed meanings of peace can never be experienced in life except God is involved.
It is only the peace of God that can allow someone to live in trouble times and with the threat of persecution all around. Peace from above is available but only to those that are close to God and put their trust in Him.
Psalms 9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Psalms 125:1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
Psalms 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
Know that “storms without God will break you. Storms with God will make you” From this moment onward you will begin to enjoy peace – physical peace, financial peace, spiritual peace, all-round peace, in Jesus Name.
You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

Peace of the Puzzle
By Master Rilwan Daniel Olunlade
Peace is being calm and having no troubles what so ever. There can be no room for jealousy, envy, bad temper, selfishness, or pride in a soul filled with peace, for all these things are disturbing factors in the heart.
Our sense of peace comes from God. In the Scriptures, we are told not to be anxious or fearful, but rather to trust in God and His Word. Proverbs 3:5 says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding”.
As much as we want we should try not to feel anxious about the things that weighs heavy on our hearts because it will quickly fade away with the Lord in our lives. John 14:27 says “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart.
And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. The world cannot give you peace, only the Lord can.
God promises to “keep in perfect peace all who trust in [Him], all whose thoughts are fixed on Him. How perfect is God’s peace you might ask.
Well, God’s peace is perfect in QUALITY. It is not an imperfect peace. It is the peace that calms you down even when things are rough. God’s peace is perfect in QUANTITY. It meets our exact needs.
God’s peace is perfect in CONSTANCY. It is permanent and forever for as long as we live.
You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed. Shalom.

The Great Peace of God
By: Pastor 'Tayo Adewale
Peace, according to the dictionary means freedom from disturbance. While in the Bible it actually means not just the absence of trouble or conflict, but the calm in the midst of the storm, according to Ephesians 2:14.
The Hebrew meaning of Peace is Shalom, meaning wellness. We live in a world full of war and violence, yet God promises us great, perfect peace
Psalm 29:11. Peace even in the midst of trouble, we all need peace. Everyone desires peace. I don't know anyone of sane mind and decent character, who would chose conflict and chaos over peace.
We all have one or two things we are disturbed by, so peace is a universal need and God has an answer for it. The Lord didn't promise that we will live a problem free life, but He did say we will have His peace.
This peace is from the throne room of God. Not the type of peace the world gives, like peace through yoga meditation, alcohol, cigarettes, sex, music, medicine or whatever. It's the great, perfect peace of God like a river that surpasses all human understanding. Halleluyah!
God wants to give you true peace. You cannot experience that if you are not at peace with God, the Prince of Peace Himself. Let's stop looking for peace of mind when God wants to give us mind of peace. Peace regulates the day when Jesus Christ regulates the mind.
No peace without Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace Himself. Isaiah 9:6
