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

Part 4 - Money, Sex & Power - The Good and Bad

By: Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Genesis 2:24-25 – “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed”

Issues around money and/or sex account for the majority of marital problems in the world today.

Unfortunately, this fact is also true in the church. A lot of the problems stem from difference in attitude towards money, difference in financial habits and orientation, lack of trust in the area of finances, lack of control over the appetite & urges for sex, and most importantly, lack of using God’s wisdom.

As true Christian believers, we must handle money and sex the way God says we should. Most of the problems we have are direct results of neglecting God’s ways and instructions.

The Bible has an answer to every issue in marriage and we must recognize that His com-mandments are for our own good. The gift of sex is one of the wonderful gifts God has given to humanity when properly utilized according to Biblical injunctions.

Sex, by God’s standard is only expected during the confines of marital relationship. Outside of this, sex becomes sin to God and thereby not a blessing.

God created sex as a powerful force to bring a husband and wife together and to keep them together.

The grace to work & build together, according to God’s word and commandments, will fall upon us all, as we pursue our marital destinies, in Jesus Name.

You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom
