PEACE; THE NATURE OF CHILDREN OF GOD

 MENTORING DAY 16/30

TOPIC: PEACE; THE NATURE OF CHILDREN OF GOD

TEXT: Hebrews 12:14; Follow peace with all men, and Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

It's a blessed morning and there is One who has given us the privilege of this day, The Almighty. So with grateful hearts, we thank you Father for this and all you do in our lives.

I strongly believe that if you have been following with all sincerity and desire to be more like Jesus, the Holy Spirit is continually working on you and shaping you. We bless the Holy Spirit and we acknowledge that without Him we are nothing and can be nothing. I worship you Spirit of God.

Today, we'll talk briefly about how following peace with all men should be our lifestyle. I pray that the Holy Spirit illuminates us and brood on the Word in us. Amen. 

As new creatures, our default nature is the nature of Christ, filled with the fruits of the Spirit, among which is peace. Our Father is the God of peace as seen in various texts in the Scriptures, therefore we ought to live in this same nature. Peaceful in all we do, being the peacemaker even in troubles or quarrel, because the life which is in you, is the life of God, a life that must be solely for God and for His glory. Without this nature of peace, we wouldn't represent Christ as we ought to, not only that other vices like backbiting, strife and others will push in. 

We cannot try to be peaceful if we have not given the Holy Spirit chance to make it manifest in us. In consistent prayer, meditation on the Word of God, the Holy ghost will reform and refine us, changing us to the same image and bringing us up to that level of peace. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the Children of God.

Prayer Point: O lord, fill me with this nature of peace and help me to live worthy of you in Jesus name. Amen.
