He is our peace

There are different kinds of peace one can experience. There is the peace of God, the peace with God, and the peace from God. All these are embodied in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hence, the Apostle Paul tells us that peace is a person. He says that "He is our peace". That means peace is not about the state of one's mind nor is it a place or an idea but peace is a person.

"For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us" (Eph.2.14)

The peace of God: Jesus declared my peace I give unto you. This is the peace that settles your mind. That gives you rest and puts your mind at ease. This is the peace that takes care of worries.
"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus".(Phil.4.7)

The peace with God: this is the peace that assures one of a future with God. This peace says God is no longer angry with you. Whatever caused the rift between you and God has been settled by Jesus Christ on the cross. So now you have peace with God.
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ". (Rom.5.1)

The peace from God comes to you as a result of walking in the truth and love. John tells that this peace is from God our Father, meaning you cannot have this peace if you do not know God as Father. And from Jesus Christ his Son to those who live in truth and love.
"May grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God our Father and from Jesus Christ his Son, be with us who live in truth and love." (2John.1.3)

Jesus Christ is our peace... Amen

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
