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

The Prince of Peace

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

John 14:27 – “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”

Peace. Picture peace for a moment. What comes to mind is rest, quietness, harmony, safety, good health… all things good.

The other side (antonym) of peace is war. Trouble, lack of rest, disturbance, everything unpleasant, pressure, tension, insecurities, unrest, or the common Biblical word - storm.

 Anytime we hear the word storm; ugly pictures go through our minds. Storms have resulted in different levels of nervous and emotional strain. Sometimes, we look around and do not know where to cast anchor.

However, at the centre or in the midst of every storm lies calmness and peace. In Mark 4:35-41, the Bible tells us that at one time when the disciples were in the boat with Jesus, there was a storm and Jesus was sleeping when they woke Him up, He spoke to the storm.

All He said was Peace Be Still. And suddenly everything became calm. So that people came to him and say “what manner of man is this, that the wind and the sea obeyed Him?”

Same way, the Prince of Peace is in the boat of our lives. He will speak peace to every financial, marital, physical, spiritual, emotional, professional, career storms of our lives, in Jesus Name. You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed.
Shalom.

From Our Pastor's Desk - July 2017 Our Month of Great Peace

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Welcome to this Our New Month of Great Peace, in Jesus name.

Psalms 119:165—”Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them”

Peace means rest, safety, good health, quietness, prosperity.

Jesus Christ personifies peace and He promised it to all of us who are His.In this life, situations could disturb our peace, sometimes for a little while, or for a relatively long time, either at individual, family or corporate level.

Mark 5:35-41 told us about Jesus in the boat with the disciples when a storm arose. This means, even as Christians, storms of life could still arise.

But since we have Jesus in our boat, no matter the storm, we will never sink. Great is the peace that Jesus gives.

He is the Prince of Peace. Jesus only had to say a word to the storm – “PEACE”, and the storm stilled. He didn’t have to repeat Himself. Jesus says in John 14:27 – “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” This month, the Prince of peace will speak peace to all our storms, physical, spiritual, financial etc.

He will divert every future storm away from us. There shall be no more storms, in Jesus Name. Amen.
