THE PRINCE OF PEACE
Memorise: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder;
And his name shall be called wonderful, Counsellor The mighty God, the
Everlasting father, the Prince of peace.
Isaiah 9:6
Read: Isaiah 9:2-7, (KJV)
2 The people that
walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the
shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the
joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice
when they divide the spoil.
4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff
of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise,
and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and
the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be
no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to
establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The
zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 28:1-30:17, Psalms 35
MESSAGE
In recent times, the entire world has been troubled by one
thing or the other. Governments of nations all over the world have explored all
avenues and different theories to solve their problems, yet the crises
increase. So many budgets are being voted by members of different groups all in
the name of providing peace, and the more the investment of time, meetings,
mediations and reconciliations, the less the solutions. Until we come back to
where we have missed it, we will just keep reinventing the wheel. Also,
individuals go through different forms of troubles and worries with no solution.
There is nothing like an atmosphere of peace either in a nation or in the life
of an individual. It is the greatest thing the world is searching for today and
it is the best thing that can happen to a person.
Open Heavens 16 August 2016: - The Prince of Peace
Peace is saying no to violence and creating room for harmony
and love. Those who do not have peace cannot experience wellness of life. When
there is no peace in a place, it exposes everyone to hostility and aggression,
but where there is peace; there is rest of mind and tranquillity. I decree that
you will find peace today in Jesus’ name. Finding peace is finding Jesus
Christ. He came to restore the broken relationship between man and God. He came
to reconcile us back to the Father. Jesus is the one who broke down every wall
of partition between us and God.
“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath
broken down the middle wall of partition between us”
Ephesians 2:14
No matter what you are going through in your life, there is
a solution in Christ Jesus. In what area are you experiencing problem? Come to
the Prince of Peace and He will give you rest.
Are you having troubles and fierce storms in your marriage?
Come to Jesus and He will step into the centre of your home and give you peace.
“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”
John 14:27
There will be trying times in the life of every child of God
but you can be rest assured that in your troubled times, you are not alone. God
will never allow the trouble to overwhelm you. He will make you experience
calmness in the situation. It is important you know that peace is not
necessarily the absence of war, it is the presence of rest and calmness in the
time of war. Jesus will always bring light into every darkness. He will always
speak peace into every storm. He presides over every unpleasant situation of
life so that you can experience His peace.
Prayer Point
Father let your peace overrule all my worries in Jesus’
name.
