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)
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.

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.
