I would like to encourage us about a very important attribute of God's Kingdom that we as pilgrims need very dearly for the Kingdom of God to be complete in our lives. There are three of them as mentioned in the book of Romans 14:17 but for the purpose of today's discuss our emphasis is PEACE.
Peace is joy in a calm repose and God blesses His people with peace, so that our christian race can be smoother and faster. In an atmosphere of peace, progress and all of God's blessings come with ease. Do not ever allow anything no matter how terrible to steal your peace. Can you please, join me as we sing this hymn "When Peace like a river" that has ministered so much to me as we continue our pilgrimage.
When peace like a river attendeth my way:
When sorrows, like sea -billows roll,
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to know.
"It is well, it is well with my soul".
Chorus
It is well........ with my soul......
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet; though trials should come
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed his own blood for my soul.
My sin - oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin not in path but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord , o my soul!
For me be it Christ , be it Christ hence to live!
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine , for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper thy peace to my soul.
But , Lord , tis for Thee, for thy coming, we wait;
The sky not the grave is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! oh the voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope! blessed rest of my soul!
God bless you fellow pilgrim as we live at peace with ourself, others and with our God thus allowing the PRINCE OF PEACE- Christ Jesus take preeminence in all we do.
Yours friend in the Kingdom Race,
Pastor Janet.
