Psalm 3:3             Peace has been defined as security, calmness, quietness in the midst of turmoil. This peace can only be experienced out of deep communication with God in prayer which is rooted in a relationship with God.              David was in a critical moment of his life, he fled from Absalom who overthrew his government and the painful part of it was that his trusted friends and counselors were also part of the rebellion.

Romans 12:18           Christian living is a life that is practical, if you are a Christian, there will be evidences and one of the evidences is a peaceful life           Living a peaceful life is hard for a natural man because it will make you surrender your rights and at times you look foolish to people that surround you because they can't just understand why you always respond  to issues instead of reacting.           This kind of life is easy to live if you yield to the Holy Spirit, he will guide you, instruct you, though you may appear foolish at that instant but in the long run you will be considered a wise man. Walk in the spirit so that you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. It is impossible for a life that is not surrendered to Jesus to show forth peace because it is a

Isaiah 53:5b Topic: Jesus - The sacrifice for our peace             There is no peace in the world, its a world full of darkness, pain, sorrow, trouble, sickness, uncertainties and difficulties. The world is a terrible place because Lucifer is the prince of this world. Jesus came to the world to give peace to anyone that will look on to him as a deliverer, who will confess, forsake his sins and trust in his works of righteousness to be right with him.           Jesus did not become a saviour overnight, the text described how he lived a difficult life, he was despised, he was a man of sorrows, nothing good in his appearance to attract people to him, his life was cut short at the midstream and nobody cared that he died without descendants.

Daily insight with God Friday 22nd May, 2020 Text: Psalm 16:1-11 Topic: Joy dwells in God's presence Key verse: In thy presence is fulness of joy. Psalm 16:11b KJV         The joy of God is in fullness but not all people experience it on earth.Joy seem to elude many because they believe that joy can be found in pursuit of material things. Instead of seeking the creator of the materials, they seek the materials and the end result is frustration and depression.              The psalmist in his experience and walk with God had discovered that in fellowshipping and devotion with God there is joy to the fullest. The psalmist was able to know this truth because he chose to walk in the path of righteousness despite his travails, triumphs and trials.              Joy of God dwell with those that have chosen to walk in the path of righteousness, Walking with God does not guarantee a trouble free life but in the midst of troubles of life you will have joy and peace of mind because God's

Daily insight with God Thursday 21st May, 2020 Text: Psalm 126 :1-6 Topic: songs of joy (2) Key verse:  Those who sow in tears will reap with reap with songs of joy. Psalm:126:5              Songs of joy are usually response to answered prayers or tarried requests especially a kind of request that hope had been lost on and suddenly happened miraculously.             It was like a dream when the LORD brought back the captives to Zion, It was too good to be true, they were filled with laughter and they sang for joy. The psalmist believed that if God could do that definitely all their hard labours on the farm will yield great harvest despite the unfavorable environmental conditions. He had faith that their situation shall turn to songs of joy.           Whatever has a beginning definitely has an ending. For it to end with songs of joy we need to sow seeds of diligence in our chosen career and have total trust in God. God is faithful, no one sows patiently with tears of diligence, prayers

Ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory 1pet2:8               The joy of God is beyond expression and feelings. It is an inward strength derived from love, faith and devotion to the personality of God.           Peter commended the faith of the church who had passed through various trials but yet still demonstrated confidence, courage, unspeakable joy and perseverance without wavering. The church did not allow persecution and trials to suppress them but it rather enlarged them which resulted into multiple joys instead of sorrows and decrease which the enemy intended.            The devil is a master at robbing people of their joy by diverting their attention from God to their problems and challenges around them. Our duty as believers is to be deeply rooted in our love, devotion, commitment to God and have faith in God regardless of what may happen to us. Faith and bel

Daily insight with God Friday 15th May, 2020 Text: Romans 6: 1-6 Topic: Grace - Not a license to sin Golden Text: what shall we say then? Shall we continue to sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6: 1               The abundance of grace does not imply that we should keep on sinning and the blood of Jesus will always be available to cleanse It. Grace does not reach a climax where it tolerate sin and cope with sin.                 Grace is not a license to sin but rather the power and authority to live victoriously over sin. Grace gives us freedom over sin and does not make us slaves to sin. Grace consciously remind us that we are dead to sin with new resurrected life in Christ. Grace            Grace that encourage and glorify in sins is definitely not from God. The grace of God is the power to resist and say no to sinful desires. The grace of God save a sinner and keep strengthening a believer to resist sin as the believer put his trust wholy on Jesus and not in his ability. Prayer: Lord J

Daily insight with God Wednesday 13th May 2020 Text: Romans 3:21-26 Topic: Freed by Grace Golden Text : "and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus" . Rom 3:24             Grace is unmerited love and favour of God to man expressed in the person of Jesus Christ which is meant to be enjoyed but people are in bondage of guilt of sin by the devil through ignorance of their perfect redemption in Jesus Christ.              Jesus took our place and all our sins either present, past or future was laid on him. He took the punishment and guilt. His blood wiped it off, and every record of sin was removed and it was as if we never sinned. Just like a criminal who deserve to die but Jesus came in and said "instead of condemning the criminal, free him, put all his guilt on me, Let him go, let it not be on record that he committed a crime" .                What God has done for us in Christ is called grace.

Matthew 5:14            The beauty of light is to illuminate. If it does not illuminate then it is not light. It is in the shining of light lies its glory and beauty which attract people to it.                    Jesus in his teaching on the mountain emphasized the importance of glowing as a Christian. It is in our illumination as light that God is glorified. It is God's desire for us his children not to hide our lights by being silent when we should talk, going along with the multitude, denying Jesus the light of the world, allowing sin to dim our light, not sharing our light with others, ignoring the needs of people that surround us.               Light cannot be hidden wherever the children of light are, darkness are exposed and subdue.

Daily insight with God Saturday 9th May, 2020 Text: John 8:12 Topic: Walk in the light             It is one thing to have the light and it is another thing to choose to walk in the knowledge of the light that one have. Failure to walk  in the knowledge of light that one have  simply make one to be spiritual blind. This spiritual blindness is as a result of ignoring the word of God which is light that transform  lives positively.                The pharisees rejected Jesus as the light, the light came to them, but they chose not to walk in that light, This led to their spiritual blindness. The light of Jesus was shining everywhere he turned to but only few see the light and walk in it                Walking in light is beyond confession of Jesus as LORD and asking for forgiveness. It is deliberate daily efforts to honour the word of God which is light and the truth in every area of our lives.
