PRAYER AS A WAY OF LIFE by Sis Cristy& Bro.

In any circumstances live
at Peace
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.”
Mt 5:9 NIV
Today’s Devotion
Jesus spent much of His ministry tearing down barriers and building bridges. He did it through acts of love such as washing the feet of those who would fail and betray Him, eating with a tax collector everybody in town despised, and giving hope to a fallen woman that society condemned. The Bible says, “Peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness” (Jas 3:18 NLT). Words of peace are like seeds. They don’t produce fruit overnight, but slowly and silently they work their way to the surface, changing hearts, minds, attitudes, and futures. Doctor Robert Oppenheimer, the noted physicist who masterminded the first atomic bomb, was asked by a congressional committee if there was any defense against it. Addressing a hushed audience he replied, “Yes—peace!”
Now, if peace can defuse an atomic bomb, think what it can do in
the lives of the people you come in contact with! Jesus said, “Blessed are the
peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God.” Every day you’ll meet
frightened, despairing, lonely, angry people who need a word of peace. Do you
have one? Solomon offers us three ways to calm strife, defuse a tense
situation, and get a better result:
(1) Patience. “A
hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel” (Pr
15:18 NIV).
(2) Self-control. “Better
a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes
a city” (Pr 16:32 NIV).
(3) Wisdom. “A
man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense” (Pr
19:11 NIV).
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today.
Lord thank you for teaching us to live at peace with any persons. Not only to live
but to be mediator for two conflicts. Lord allows me to withstand against any trials and
be patience, self-control along the way
so that I can serve you and our brethren for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the
bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16
that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal
