OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 23, 2015 IS ACTS 20:1-24 DIVINE ENCOURAGEMENT THAT GRANTS PEACE & JOY:

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE IS ACTS 20:1-24 DIVINE ENCOURAGEMENT THAT GRANTS PEACE & JOY: 1. I will appreciate it if you will pay attention to one of the keys that breaks and destroys the yokes of restlessness, worries, anxiety, stress, and frustrations is the key of divine words of encouragement. Have you been in a troubled waters before in your family, place of work, business or career frustrations? If yes you can understand what I am about to say here, and suddenly somebody filled with the spirit of God came in and chip in one word and the whole fire in the place just quenched, and everywhere was calm again. There is power in divine words of encouragement to restore peace and joy when the enemy of confusion sneaks in, use it always and the joy of the Lord will be your strength. See verses 1-6 2. I want to exhort you today to be calm in times of crises, trust in God even when it looks unrealistic and impossible, and believe that there is nothing God cannot do, when you positioned your frame of mind in who God is and what he can do, and that he cannot fail, whatever challenge that come your way you will defeat it and have your peace. Here are the strategies Apostle Paul applied to raise the death: a) He used the falling of Eutychus from three story building, pronounced dead to prove to them that God is God. b) He was calm, went ahead and break bread, the power of communion for life c) Applied the power of laying an anointed hands to make a difference d) Applied the power of positive words that he is alive when others said he is dead e) Exercise the authority that Jesus has given to us through his death on the cross f) Eutychus came back to life and peace and joy reigned in that home. How do you managed your crisis, challenges, trying times, pains etc? Is it with fear or faith in God? See verses 7-12 3. Sometimes it is difficult to part from what you love or cherish, but you must be prepared to choose between what God called you to do and what your flesh is desiring, the two are always in conflicts in our lives but Apostle Paul handled it here so intelligent through the power of the Holy Spirit, his flesh was afraid of the trouble he will encounter where he was going but his spirit was ready to do what God called him to do for him. How do you manage your conflicting situations in your life between your flesh and your spirit? Learn from him below for your peace: a) He silenced his fleshly desires by listening to God than his flesh b) He will not allow anything to hinder him from the Pentecost service c) He told the elders of the Church about the importance of humility d) He asked them to put God first above all things for their peace and joy e) He told them that they must be tested even with their lives for Gods name f) He encouraged them never to give up no matter what because Jesus did not g) He told the elders in Ephesus the importance of repentance for their peace h) He taught the Elders as well never to differentiate on race or culture because we are all from one God and to have faith in Jesus for Peace. See verses 13-21. 4. Finally I want us to imitate the actions of Paul in this message, every minute of his life with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, he was faced with sufferings and death, his life was not secured by flesh because of his past activities which still haunts him where ever he goes, but he did not give up on what our Lord Jesus called him to do. How are you doing what you are called by God to do? Are you running with your Gods given vision? Or are you dancing to the tune of your flesh and listening to mortals instead of the immortal God? Learn from Paul today who said that he is not moved by the bumpers, challenges, and man’s inhumanity to man because of the love of Jesus Christ, but he is concerned to finish what he has started. Are you concerned to finish what God has trusted in your hands? If not think again today and correct your ways to walk in peace and joy. See verses 22-23. 5. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power of Divine Encouraging that will grant Peace and Joy to you and your household in Jesus name Amen. Acts 20:1-24New International Version (NIV) Through Macedonia and Greece 20 When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, said goodbye and set out for Macedonia. 2 He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people, and finally arrived in Greece, 3 where he stayed three months. Because some Jews had plotted against him just as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia. 4 He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy also, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia. 5 These men went on ahead and waited for us at Troas. 6 But we sailed from Philippi after the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days. Eutychus Raised From the Dead at Troas 7 On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. 8 There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting. 9 Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead. 10 Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “He’s alive!” 11 Then he went upstairs again and broke bread and ate. After talking until daylight, he left. 12 The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted. Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesian Elders 13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we were going to take Paul aboard. He had made this arrangement because he was going there on foot. 14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. 15 The next day we set sail from there and arrived off Chios. The day after that we crossed over to Samos, and on the following day arrived at Miletus. 16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, for he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost. 17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church. 18 When they arrived, he said to them: “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I came into the province of Asia. 19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my Jewish opponents. 20 You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. 21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus. 22 “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Be blessed as you receive THE EMPOWERMENT FOR THE MONTH OF THE LORD OF PEACE WITH YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.

BLESSED ARE YE THAT HUNGER NOW: FOR YE SHALL BE FILLED. BLESSED ARE YE THAT WEEP NOW: FOR YE SHALL LAUGH. BLESSED ARE YE, WHEN MEN SHALL HATE YOU, AND CAST OUT YOUR NAME AS EVIL, FOR THE SON OF MAN’S SAKE. REJOICE YE IN THAT DAY, AND LEAP FOR JOY: FOR, BEHOLD, YOUR REWARD IS GREAT IN HEAVEN

LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US: FOR MONDAY AUGUST 17, 2015 IS: LUKE 6:21-23 (KJV) “BLESSED ARE YE THAT HUNGER NOW: FOR YE SHALL BE FILLED. BLESSED ARE YE THAT WEEP NOW: FOR YE SHALL LAUGH. BLESSED ARE YE, WHEN MEN SHALL HATE YOU, AND CAST OUT YOUR NAME AS EVIL, FOR THE SON OF MAN’S SAKE. REJOICE YE IN THAT DAY, AND LEAP FOR JOY: FOR, BEHOLD, YOUR REWARD IS GREAT IN HEAVEN”. I bring you uplifting words of encouragement today that will bring peace and restore the lost glory and joy of the Lord in your life and family. Do you know that many are frustrated because of what to eat and drink in this our generation? Do you also know that many cry day and night because they are rejected, called different kinds of derogatory names for standing on the truth and what is right in the sight of God and humans? If you fall in any of the group above or both, rejoice for you are not the first and neither will you be the last, for your day of laughter and greatness is here now. Sometimes people get worried because of the actions and words of people around them whom they trust so much, but are disappointed by them. It sometimes get out of hands when the same people you give everything you have to bring them out of the pit of hell and to restore them to human dignity in the kingdom of God, so that the Lord of peace will grant them access to his joy, but they choose not to but rather hate you for being nice to them and showing them the way of truth and life. Jesus our Lord experienced same in the hands of the Pharisees and Sadducees but he didn’t give up on them but gave his life to restore life eternal to them. If you are in Jesus shoes right now, please do not give up but continue to sow the seed of love and truth, so that one day, the eyes of the blind will be opened to know that you meant and wished them well. Let me reveal a secrete to you here, the more you are hated, ridiculed, made to hunger, castigated with evil names, the more they open doors and windows of heaven for your blessings, joy, peace and greatness. Remember that you need not to fight such battles but to hand it over to God who is the all knowing and all doing God to take care of for you. And it is on record that HE has never lost any battle and will never lose in yours. I challenge you to continue to do what is right in the sight of God and Man and do not listen to side distractions so that your joy will be full and the peace of God that passes all understanding will be your portion. Remember that your reward is not only on this planet earth but also in heaven where there is nothing like pain or sorrow. Please do not forget this and be blessed Amen. Read below: Luke 6:21-23 King James Version (KJV) 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. Watch out for our AUGUST 2015 daily words of Exhortations on “EMPOWERMENT FROM THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US" TOMORROW AUGUST 18, 2015. Be blessed as you receive THE EMPOWERMENT FOR THE MONTH OF THE LORD OF PEACE WITH YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 16, 2015 IS NEHEMIAH 8:1-18 THE LORD OF PEACE WITH HIS JOY FOR US THROUGH HIS WORD:

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 16, 2015 IS NEHEMIAH 8:1-18 THE LORD OF PEACE WITH HIS JOY FOR US THROUGH HIS WORD: 1. I am always excited each time I open the book of law of the Almighty God, which I call the book of wisdom, there is no how you can open the “BIBLE” and will not benefit something from it that will give you peace of mind and great joy. Are you restless, distressed, worried or confused? Read the word of God and get back your peace and the joy of the Lord will be your strength. See verses 1-5 2. We must come to the understanding that the Priests of God are charged with the responsibility of expanding the scriptures to meet the needs of the congregations, because the word of God answers all things and doeth all things because it is God himself read John 1:1. See as the Priest of God Ezra used the word to restore Joy in the land: a) He blessed the Lord the Great God and all the people said Amen b) He praised God and everybody lifted up their hands with joy c) With joy the people bowed their heads on the ground to God d) Ezra and the Levites caused the people to understand the law e) The minister’s responsibility is to use the word to meet needs f) Nehemiah, Ezra and the Levites all taught the people the word for their joy to be full, but they were crying because of their shortcoming but the priest said to them that the day is Holy unto the Lord and not for weeping but to rejoice and be at peace g) When you receive the word of God with your heart, you will eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: because the day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. See verses 6-10 3. I encourage you to make out time to study the word, swallow it make it a life style to be path of you, so that nothing will rub you of your peace and joy. When you make it a duty that must be fulfilled daily in your home, the results it will bring into your family lives will be so amazing that everybody around you will like to be infected with the word especially when you receive the words that were declared by your priests, it opens the following doors: a) Abundance that has no end known as limitless blessings b) Fulfillment and accomplishments that will make you a celebrity c) It turns you to lend to nations and never to borrow d) The Lord himself will be the one that will build you in all areas. See verses 11-16. 4. Finally I want to encourage you to make use of the word of God to restore all things that the enemies may have stolen from you, use the word to command the supernatural, use it to restore peace and joy, use it to reverse all irreversible in your life, use it to silent every power of darkness, use it to raise the death back to life, for that is what you are called to do as a child of God. May “The Lord of Peace” open doors of great joy for you this week as you take authority with the word of God to make a difference as a child of God Amen? See verses 17-18. 5. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power from the Lord of Peace with joy through his word that will make you a vessel of honour all the days of your life in Jesus name Amen. Read below: Nehemiah 8:1-18 King James Version (KJV) 8 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. 2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: 6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. 8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. 9 And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. 10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. 11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. 12 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them. 13 And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law. 14 And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: 15 And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. 16 So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. 17 And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness. 18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner. Watch out for our AUGUST 2015 daily words of Exhortations on “EMPOWERMENT FROM THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US" TOMORROW AUGUST 17, 2015. Be blessed as you receive THE EMPOWERMENT FOR THE MONTH OF THE LORD OF PEACE WITH YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 9, 2015 IS ISAIAH 48:1-18 STUBBORNNESS IS THE GREATEST HINDRANCE TO OUR PEACE AT HOME AND IN OUR SOCIETY:

STUBBORNNESS IS THE GREATEST HINDRANCE TO OUR PEACE AT HOME AND IN OUR SOCIETY : 1. I have taking time for over one week to highlight the source and keys that opens doors for peace, so that the Lord of Peace will come into your life and your home. But in this message today, I will be looking at the hindrances and enemies of peace. How do I identify the obstacles or enemies of peace in my life? Here are some of the manifestations: a) Taking oath in the name of God when you are doing what is wrong b) Walking in unrighteousness instead of righteousness & take joy in it c) Claiming to know God with your words but not with your hearts d) Walking in stubbornness, stiff-necked, incorrigible, faithless etc. e) Professing to serve God but worshiping wooden idols/foreign gods f) Failing to admit your faults, inabilities but claiming what you are not g) Treacherous in nature and rebelliousness in behavior. Enough is enough turn around today and get your peace back. See verses 1-8. 2. It might interest you to know that the God we serve is merciful, who is always ready at anytime to take us back as we are and cleans us from all uncleanness and restore us to health and grant us peace. Are you ready for that peace that comes from God? If yes, take note of the followings: a) God delays his wrath upon you because of his name Jehovah b) He holds back and stops completely anything that will destroy you because of his praise. Do you Praise him? c) God refines us through afflictions, have you been tested? Peace d) God sacrificed everything for our peace and his glory, what of you? See verses 9-11. 3. Listen my brethren, God is reaching out to you now and calling you out of whatever mess you found yourself in to turn back to him, He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the one who see the end from the beginning return to him and embrace the Lord of Peace to fulfill your purpose on earth, please reject and renounce every form of idol of the Babylonians so that your peace will not be hindered but put your trust in God at all times. See verses 12-15 4. Finally God is calling on you today to listen to him, when you walk in the Spirit of God you will hear when he speaks and when you hear from him, your life will be transformed and when your life is transformed you will have intimate relationship with him and when you have intimate relationship “The Lord of Peace” will live with you all the days of your life. And these blessings will follow you: a) The sovereign God is speaking to you now and not in secrete listen b) He has endowed you with the Holy Spirit to do all things in peace c) He is the Lord that teaches you how to make profits. Receive it now. d) He is the Lord that leads and directs you the way you should go e) If you pay attention to him, your peace will be like a river Amen. See verses 16-18. 5. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power of God to reject stubbornness, hindrances, carelessness that will hinder your peace and walk in righteousness and holiness that will grant you lasting peace from God in Jesus name Amen. Read below:Isaiah 48:1-18 New International Version (NIV) Stubborn Israel 48 “Listen to this, you descendants of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel and come from the line of Judah, you who take oaths in the name of the LORD and invoke the God of Israel— but not in truth or righteousness— 2 you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city and claim to rely on the God of Israel— the LORD Almighty is his name: 3 I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass. 4 For I knew how stubborn you were; your neck muscles were iron, your forehead was bronze. 5 Therefore I told you these things long ago; before they happened I announced them to you so that you could not say, ‘My images brought them about; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.’ 6 You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? “From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you. 7 They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today.So you cannot say, ‘Yes, I knew of them.’ 8 You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ears have not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth. 9 For my own name’s sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to destroy you completely. 10 See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. 11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another. Israel Freed 12 “Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I have called: I am he; I am the first and I am the last. 13 My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they all stand up together. 14 “Come together, all of you, and listen: Which of the idols has foretold these things. The LORD’s chosen ally will carry out his purpose against Babylon; his arm will be against the Babylonians.[a] 15 I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him. I will bring him, and he will succeed in his mission. 16 “Come near me and listen to this: “From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret; at the time it happens, I am there.” And now the Sovereign LORD has sent me, endowed with his Spirit. 17 This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. 18 If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea. Watch out for our AUGUST 2015 daily words of Exhortations on “EMPOWERMENT FROM THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US" TOMORROW AUGUST 10, 2015.

LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME”:

LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US: FOR SATURDAY AUGUST 8, 2015 IS: JOHN 14:1-3 (KJV). Friends, our exhortation for today is focused on “LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME”. I have taken time to carry out surveys on three different age groups beginning from the age of 18-25, 26-33 and 34-40. I carefully selected the three age groups because it is the age that most people are anxious about life for achievements; career wise, professional fulfillment, business success, and visions consciousness to reach the mission of their visions. I hear from people on the streets that a fool at forty is a fool for ever, this proverb or words of wisdom as many calls it, makes the three age groups I highlighted above so nervous to make it big in one day, and in the process they get themselves into troubles and peace eludes them for not taking life easy with patient and according to Gods plan and purpose for their lives. Are you one of those in these age groups above? Please take life easy so that the peace of God and his blessings will abide with you. I am not saying that those above the three age groups are perfect but I am saying that the listed three different age groups are so much in a hurry about life and sometimes run more than the God that created them. I want to give a general recipe for peace, based on the results of my research surveys with the listed age groups, which can serve as a word of wisdom for all age groups, if you want to live a peaceful and blessed life as follows: 1. No matter the situation you find yourself let not your heart be troubled, but hand over the situation to God 2. Make sure you put your trust in God and believe he is able 3. Be well informed that there is nothing that God cannot do and there is nothing he cannot supply provided that you ask. 4. Know that Jesus has gone ahead to prepare a place for you so that you can be where he is and not buried on the ground here 5. Know that before you were put into your mother’s womb, God has finished everything about your journey on earth from the beginning to the end. That means you must walk with God’s plan and purpose for your life and not just everything you desire. 6. Remember that God will always give you the vision but the plan to get to your destinations you will work out that through revelation knowledge. That is where most people fail, because they think that God will give them the vision and the plan to reach the mission of their vision. It is not so. That is why you need to fast and pray for the revelation knowledge to drive your visions to its destination so that the Lord of Peace will be with you and your household. Be blessed. Read below: John 14:1-3 King James Version (KJV) 14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Watch out for our AUGUST 2015 daily words of Exhortations on “EMPOWERMENT FROM THE LORD OF PEACE WITH US" TOMORROW AUGUST 9, 2015. Be blessed as you receive THE EMPOWERMENT FOR THE MONTH OF THE LORD OF PEACE WITH YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 2, 2015 IS 2 CORINTHIANS 4: 1-18 THE PRESENT WEAKNESS AND RESURRECTION LIFE OF PEACE:

THE PRESENT WEAKNESS AND RESURRECTION LIFE OF PEACE: 1. Statistics has proved that majority of those who are troubled at heart or restless in life are those who do not put their trust in God. How do I know those who do not put their trust in God? Here are some of the manifestations: a) They faint because they are dishonest, and peace elude them b) They walk deceitfully and handling the word of God with craftiness c) We should walk in truth at all times in services to God and Man d) We should resurrect from our evil ways to holiness & righteousness e) Do not allow the gods of this world to blind the light of your heart f) Let the glorious light of the gospel of Jesus shine through you to all g) Do not preach yourself if you want peace but preach Jesus our Lord See verses 1-5. 2. Those who are in the milk level of the word of God believe that when they are newly saved, everything will change immediately for good and peace but it is not so, they do not know that we will partake in the sufferings of our Lord Jesus which is the juicy aspect of this race for our peace, the more we suffer, the more we succeed, they more we go through things, they more stronger we are in peace and joy, the more we are afflicted, the more we are uplifted. Take note: a) We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; b) We are perplexed, but not in despair; c) Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed d) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, e) That the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body See verses 6-10 3. Most of us desire to have peace but we do not want to do what it takes to have peace. Jesus gave it all including his life for you and I to have peace today, what have you sacrificed for peace to reign in this world? We all desire peace but we do not want to do anything to have that peace or for our fellow humans to have that peace, it is not so, Jesus on the mount of Beatitudes said blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. The law of give and take cannot be broken, if you desire peace sow peace in someone’s life. See verses 11-14 4. The word grace has been running into my spirit, or should I say abundant grace, which ever one you can lay your hands on please do if you want “The Lord of Peace” Jehovah Shalom to be with you in this Month of August. How do I connect to abundant grace? First thing to do is to ask for all doors of repentance to be opened unto you; which are; the doors of Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness. Then Jehovah Shalom will be with you till eternity. When he comes into your life, here is the evidence to validate his power: a) You will be renewed daily b) Light affliction will turn to glory c) You will not walk by sight but by faith (Great Reward) d) You will know that the things which are seen are temporal e) The things not seen are eternal (Seek those things from now).See verses 15-18. 5. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power of God to reject the present weaknesses in your life and turn them to strength to fulfil your purpose on earth so that “The Lord of Peace” will be with you till eternity in Jesus name Amen. Read below: 2Corinthians 4: 1-18 King James Version (KJV) Present Weakness and Resurrection Life 4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
