Be a Peacemaker!

 

Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God" Matthew 5:9

Are you in trouble with quarrels, hardships,bargains and fights?

Don't worry! Put your trust in Jesus and be a peacemaker.

Because;

Those who actively work to create and restore peace are blessed and will be recognized as God's children. This involves mediating conflict, reconciling relationships, and spreading the gospel, not by compromising on sin, but by being a force for reconciliation and overcoming evil with good.  May God bless you!

The Promise of Protection.

 

“Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.”

PSALMS 91:7

Although chaos and destruction may be widespread, those who trust in God will be divinely protected from harm, and these disasters will not "come near" them.  "A thousand"  may fall at one's side and "ten thousand" at one's right hand. But the magnitude of surrounding dangers, won't affect you. The promise of protection is even more significant. The  promise of God's special care, even if believers may experience hardship or even die in a general calamity, the verse's promise is that it will not have power over them.

God cares for you!

Follow the Redeemer!

Once Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho.A large crowd also followed Him.

Two blind men were sitting by the roadside,when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted,

"Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

The crowd scolded them to be silent.

But they shouted louder again.

"Lord,Son of David, have mercy on us!"

Jesus stopped and called them,He asked,"what do you want me to do for you?"

They answered, "Lord, we want our sight."

He felt pity and compassion on them,and touched their eyes.

Immediately they received their sight and followed him.( From Matthew 20:29-34)

Has anyone stopped you from seeking the LORd?

Has anyone stopped you from praying or believing  in God?

The material world makes us away from God.

But if we have a strong desire to meet Him, the Lord, He will come to us.

He will listen to our cries, our sorrows and hardships.

These blind beggars could see that Jesus was the long-awaited Messiah.

So don't refuse to open your eyes to the truth.

Jesus is the only way, the truth and life.Follow Him and He will save and redeem you from all your miseries and sins.

339.Return to the LORD.

 

"Even now" declares the LORD " return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning."

JOEl 2: 12-13

Joel's prophecy to the people of Judah ( the Southern kingdom) - in approximately 835-796 BC in Jerusalem.

The people of Judah had turned to self- centeredness,idolatry and sin.Joel warned them that this kind of lifestyle would inevitably bring God's judgement.

God told the people to turn to him while there was still time.

Destruction would soon be upon them.Time is also running out for us. Because we don't know when our lives will end.

We should trust and obey God now, while we can.Don't let anything hold you back from turning to him.

Deep remorse was often shown by tearing one's clothes,but God didn't want an outward display of penitence without true inward repentance.

Promise of the future blessings.

"Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved." Joel 2:32

God is ready to forgive and restore all those who would come to him and turn away from sin.

God wants to shower his people with his love and restore them to a proper relationship with him.

Forgiveness comes by turning from sin and turning towards God.

It is not too late to receive God's forgiveness.

God's greatest desire is for you to come to him.
