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.

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

Remain on Top!

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.

...But by His Spirit

By: Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Zechariah 4:6 - “This is the word of the LORD unto Ze-rubba-bel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”

Two cases.  One in Judges 19 & 20. The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin and demanded the culprits of some dastardly act of gang-rape & murder to be handed over to them for appropriate judgment, so as to put away evil from Israel.

But rather, the children of Benjamin defiantly mobilized for war against the children of Israel.

Three times the children of Israel sought counsel from God about going to war against the tribe of Benjamin and three times God gave them a go-ahead.

However, they got different results. And another in 1st King 20:1-21. Ben-hadad, the king of Syria, gathered his entire host together against the extremely idolatrous king Ahab and his evil wife, Jezebel.

In spite of Ahab’s dastardly sins, not only did God send a message of hope to the idolatrous King Ahab, He actually delivered on His promise by giving King Ahab an unexpected resounding victory over that great enemy host.

We win, succeed, excel, breakthrough or prosper, surely, not by our own might or power, but by the working of God’s precious Spirit inside of us.

So next time you encounter a problem, face challenges or sense a battle around you, remember Zechariah 4:6. Halleluyah.

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed.

Shalom.
