OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL-THE PEACE OF GOD-25/03/2014

                        THE PEACE OF GOD-25/03/2014

Yesterday’s message was titled “GOD'S REMEMBRANCE AND DELIVERANCE III ”. Today’s message is titled “THE PEACE OF GOD” as provided by Pastor E. A. Adeboye in Open Heavens Devotional (Adeboye, 2014). In today’s message, we have been asked to memorise Philippians 4:7: " And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." and read Philippians 4:4-8. The Bible in one year for today has been taken from Ezekiel 19-20 and Psalm 69:22-36 .(Adeboye, 2014).
Quoted below is the text for today's message. God bless you as we meditate and discuss on this topic
"There is nothing tangible that can be achieved in any organisation, family or mind without a peaceful atmosphere. This is why when the world was characterised with chaos in Genesis 1 :1 -3, the first thing God did was to restore peace to the chaotic world. I pray that the peace of God will be your portion today in Jesus‘ Name. There are factors that can guarantee peace in the life of an individual, particularly a child of God. One of them is contentment. 1 Timothy 6:6&10 says that: "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after; they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Many people lack peace because they are not contented with what they have. They dabble into some nefarious activities in search of the material things of this world which lead to stress related diseases. We must beware not to run after the material things of this world which do not bring satisfaction, or those things that attract undue responsibilities, or those things that hurt when they have flown away. Also, avoid the abuse of things which bring discomfort like piles or stomach aches and other illnesses to your body (Proverbs 25:16). How do you cultivate contentment? Contentment is developed when you endeavour to enjoy the present blessings of God in your life and give Him glory for such benefits (Ecclesiastes 5:18-19, Psalm 103:1 -5).
”let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in ever thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:5-6

Other truths about having peace are revealed in this passage: One of such truths is that, to have the peace of God, you have to be moderate in your lifestyle without hypocrisy. Another is: do not be anxious for anything, or else you will lose your God given Peace. How then do you survive in a competitive world where the essential things of life are scarce? The next truth answers this: make your request known to God. He is . Jehovah-Jireh, the Great Provider. He will meet you at the point of your needs.  I pray for you in your body’ A peace of God will come mightily upon your trouble soul and spirit today in Jesus‘ Name."

For our prayer point, we are to Pray for the peace of God to reign in your entire life, family, church and nation today.

ARE YOU A CARROT, EGG OR COFFEE BEAN?

A young woman told her mother how hard her life was. She didn't know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that as she solved a problem, another one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first pot, she placed carrots. In the second pot, she placed eggs. In the last pot, she put coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word.  After about 20 minutes, she turned off the burners.

John 14:13 says: “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Prayer consists of at least four parts: these are adoration, confession, thanksgiving and supplication.
