DO YOU NEED PEACE

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: DO YOU NEED PEACE?

Philippians 4:6-7

There are three basic types of peace mentioned in the Bible.

1. The peace of God that comes with salvation, Rom. 5:1.

2. The peace of God that come through total surrender to God in all things, Phil. 4:6-7; John 14:1, 27.

3. The peace on earth that will come when Jesus Christ comes back to reign in glory and power, Isa. 2:1-4.

The passage before us today deals with the peace of God that comes with total surrender to God in all things.

1. It is the peace of God in the times of trouble.

2. It is the peace of God that overwhelms our worries and that helps us to rest in the will of God even when we cannot see what lies ahead.

The key to having this kind of peace lies in possessing a thankful heart.
Thanksgiving is an important theme throughout the Bible. It is mentioned over 140 times.

· David spoke about it – Psalm 103 – The list of His blessings is inexhaustible and makes Him worthy of our thanksgiving.

·Daniel practiced it – Daniel 6:10 – Daniel demonstrates the power of giving thanks even when you are in the midst of trials.

·Paul wrote about it – 1 Thes. 5:18 – God deserves, commands and expects our thankfulness in all areas of life and at all times.

The key to experiencing the peace mentioned in verse 7 lies in possessing a thankful heart. Brethren let the praises of God fill your heart this week and in all circumstances give thanks and you shall surely have peace.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, LET THE POWER OF YOUR PRAISES OPEN DOOR OF BREAKTHROUGH FOR US THIS WEEK IN JESUS NAME.
