Prince of Peace and Good will
Memory Verse: - Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Bible Reading: - Luke 2: 1 – 52
Message
The arrival of Jesus Christ the prince of peace into this world of sin was announced by angels and heavenly hosts saying “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men”
The plan of God was that peace should reign in the world if and only if the world welcomes and accepts the Prince of peace into their individual lives; but unfortunately he was rejected, maltreated and crucified in accordance to the fore knowledge of God that he should shed the blood for the remission of their sins; and was raised from the death for our justification.
He is alive today; he saves and delivers from animosity, clamor, hatred, malice, anger and all vices that negate peaceful coexistence. You cannot know true peace with yourself, with God and your neighbours if you do not have Christ indwelling you. Immediately you decide for Christ, there is a joy emanating from within you known as joy of salvation; thereafter you can no longer keep malice, but you will by all means follow peace with all men.
Paul the apostle was an injurious man – he hated Christians and was on his way to a strange country to have them arrested, beaten, imprisoned and even killed them; but he was arrested by the Lord on his way and he became a peaceful man that was as gentile as dove proclaiming the power of gospel of peace. Jesus is the prince of peace, accept him into your life and enjoy the peace of God within you and with all men.
The angels and heavenly hosts also said good will toward men. Jesus went about doing good unto all men: he heals the sick, delivers the oppress and set the captive of sins and Satan free. He had come to destroy the works of the devil and to deliver us from the curse of the law. He came across a leper who said if thou wills, thou can make me clean, and Jesus said I will be clean. He has good will towards all men; he has no evil to share but good; he has healing and health; deliverance and preservation; he is the hope of glory and the only mediator between man and God.
Are you troubled, call on the prince of peace and he shall settle you; are you being oppressed in any way, call on the Christ the only perfect deliverer and you shall be delivered; he is alive and is as powerful to set free today as he was yesterday. Witches, wizards, powers, principalities and rulers of darkness of this world combined cannot withstand his power in the life of his saints that are washed by his redeeming blood. Accept him and enjoy his peace and good will towards all men.
Confession of the Day
I have peace of mind because Jesus the prince of peace indwells me.
Prayer Points
Jesus, I give my life unto you, take it and let it be thine and let me have your peace within me all the time.
Let your good will towards me be manifested in all areas of my life to the glory of your name alone.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
