It is high time for all (human) the living to come into the understanding of the handiwork of God. We all need to know that no earthly force on the earth can affect God negatively. There is no fire God cannot quench, there is no one God cannot arrest, many individuals and some congregations even nations are facing and fighting their way to conquest yet they don’t conquer. The sources of most battles men are fighting are unknown. It’s noted that very many are sleeping in the midst of soldiers, on a comfortable bed, in a secure house but couldn’t sleep for fear sake. In this edition of Voices from Zion titled;
COVENANT OF PEACE
Ezekiel 34:25
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
- Why People Lost Their Peace.
- The Way To Peace.
- Eternal Loss And How To Enjoy Peace
- Why Have You Lost Your Peace?: Is it your business, your marriage, your child or children your possession, your family, your name? There are all kinds of things that make people lose their peace. When you are suffering any of the following, it’s a state of no peace:
- Anxiety: When you are afraid of a collapse. Anxiety is a product of your level of understanding. If you understand more and even better, you won’t be afraid. Any man that is afraid of a ghost does not know better, that there is no conversation in between the dead and the living. Psalm 116:11 In my anxiety I cried out to you, “These people are all liars!” (TLB) This psalmist cried to God in his anxiety and discovered that there is nothing in it. Be delivered from anxiety in Jesus name.
- Frustration: This is when all your plans refused to yield good results with all you have done. You tried as much as you can to get an answer, may be to convince a particular person or a panel but no way, that is not enough reason for you to lose your peace. Frustration can be a product of lust, wrong direction, wrong counsel and inadequate understanding. Deuteronomy 32:12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. The Lord God almighty shall lead you out of all your frustrations in Jesus name.
- Anger: Often you see people behaving abnormal, behaving as if they are out of their senses, they get angry over a little thing that shouldn’t cause any dispute. The truth is that most of such people are hurt within. Some men and women also had picked up a dangerous desire by anger; some had become wicked because they were angry with the way they were rough-handled or the way one of their loved ones was maltreated or killed. Sons of Jacob went and killed and destroyed because their sister was raped yet they brought evil upon themselves. Genesis 34:26-27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. There are some certain awkward things that when it happens you just have to let go. You may prevent your daughter from being raped, prevent your loved ones from being killed but when the unexpected happens, just let it go! We are human, incapable to do some certain things. Even if you are the only one remaining in your family, you need not to become a killer. Vengeance is of the Lord the Bible says Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19
- The Way To Peace: Is simply walking in the way of peace. You can walk into safety and at the same time into danger. When you are over meditating on your fear or losses, it may lead to anger or sickness that will end in an untimely death. The more you think on it, the more wounded you become. You need to come out of your closet (fear) to
- Jesus: Jesus our Saviour assured us with the following powerful words: John 14:5-6 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? *Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. He’s the master giver of peace. If you want peace and new life contact him. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour is coming to Jesus. Going to his house (Church) is the way to peace and obeying his word (The Holy Bible) will enhance divine manifestations which will bring you recovery and new life. If you accept Jesus Christ things will change today
- Holding The Past: leave your ugly experiences in the past, let it pass away from you. If you are still hurt by the way you were treated in your last marriage you may never find true love, but when you forgive, it will be easy for you to learn from your mistakes and get ready never to be hurt again. Past experiences pursue people about; when you fail in a business it doesn’t mean you will fail in all businesses. If you had lost your first child at birth, put yourself together, have faith in God and you will testify of his goodness. The Bible says Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. *Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19
- Celebrate The Future Ahead: You need to, what you celebrate comes towards you. Learn to celebrate the future ahead, it doesn’t matter how unreachable it may look like, celebrate it and you will receive strength to walk towards it. There are men who are reduced to almost nothing like Job in the Bible but were later lifted. Job said: If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Job 14:14
- Eternal Loss: There are losses that are irrecoverable, may be you were there to see how your loved ones were engulf in the fire, or you watch it on the screen how the plane crash and got burnt. You shall not suffer loss in Jesus name, but the truth is that it is an eternal loss. Only Jesus came back from death and never dies again, every other person dies and never comes back. Stop thinking about what cannot be regained or recovered. If you got killed in the thought of your loved ones, there is no tendency that you will see them at the other side. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. *For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. *But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, *I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Matthew 22:29-32. So I wonder why people keep serving God through the name of a dead man. Jesus lives. If you don’t have Jesus, you can’t inherit the kingdom of God. Also note that those that have sold their soul to Satan are already lost, they are sons of perdition yet God wants all men to be saved. Anyone that sleeps in Christ, there is hope for them. Now, the real question is
How To Enjoy Peace And Be Secured For Life?; Which means how to live happy and be fulfilled in a good old age. Yes you can, if you will cut a COVENANT OF PEACE
Peace is an essential commodity on earth today, so many individuals are tensed up, nations combating, businesses collapsing, family troubled, wickedness multiplying every day, life endangered, governments confused, security gadgets failing, as if there is no difference between hell and earth, but God says
And I will make with them a covenant of peace… if they will serve me, if they will obey my servant which I have sent to them, if they will seek the enlargement and the interest of my kingdom on earth. At times the covenant of peace may be directly to an individual. If God called you into a gospel ministry and you refused, you will suffer, if you will refuse what God has commanded you to do, you will lack peace. Jonah suffered because he thought he can run away from God. Jonah 1:1-4 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying *Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. *But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. *But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. David said in Psalm 139:7-12 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?…
if you must enjoy peace, obey his instructions. There are men that God won’t allow them to be killed yet he won’t allow them to know peace because he wants to use them. Lack of peace can be lack of health, lack of joy, lack of money e.t.c. A man on the go for God can sleep sweetly in the woods and dwell safely in the wilderness. There are houses that armed robbers cannot break into, there are men who cannot be sick, there are individuals out there that cannot suffer any form of accidents neither lack good things or suffer dryness because they are walking in the reality of the covenant of peace.
