Theme: Guarding your progress (part 18)

Anchor Text: Nehemiah 4:11-23

Subtext: Ephesians 6:13-18

Continued from the last post on this series

Ephesians 6:15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.

Shoes of the Gospel of Peace

Hebrews 12:15 encourages the believer to work at living in peace with everyone.

That verse also associated peace alongside holiness which is a prerequisite for seeing God.

If holiness grants access to God, then living peacefully grants access to men.

Jesus told his disciples in Matthew 10:13: 'If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you.' (New International Version)

This shows that as the disciples went about wihhhe good news as sent by Jesus, the carried peace with them. Whosoever then that accepted that peace enjoyed fellowship.

A lot of folks have lost and missed out on golden opportunities due to the inability to maintain and live in peace.

Both the Hebrew word (Shalom) and the Greek word (Eirene) which are translated as peace in English also means prosperity.

Therefore, as you advance up the ladder of success, peace is essential to maintain and increase your prosperity.

Progress and prosperity only lies in the home of the peaceful. When Jesus said to the disciples 'let your peace rest on it', He was saying let them receive Divine permission to prosper and progress.

Nations that are impoverished are those yet to truly embrace peace. Nigeria as a case study with all her unrest is regarded as the poverty capital of the world today.

The word peace also means quietness. When there is unrest there is no quietness and by extension no growth. The culmination of social unrest from different sectors of the country is seen in the lack of progress we face as a people.

However, peace is still possible...

Let's continue tomorrow by God's Grace.

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
