Pursue Peace Earnestly 1

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: Tuesday 23rd, June 2020.
TOPIC: Pursue Peace Earnestly 1
TEXT: Heb. 12:13-15 

MESSAGE
It is the duty of Christians even when in a suffering state and face-off to follow men with peace. Two wrongs cannot make right. It is not Mathematics where two negatives become plus . Wrong is wrong. We have to prove ourselves as God's children to follow the examples of Christ especially at the scene of His arrest where He picked up the ear of Marcus and divinely gummed or restored it. It shows maturity and Christianity, if we follow the path of peace even with those who are instrumental to our suffering. It is a hard and difficult lesson which should be highly attained for those who profess Christianity which Christ himself has called us into. It is almost a compulsion but necessary to live peaceably with all men as Roman 12: 18 states "If it is possible for as much as it lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." 

Verse 14 of our text instructs
 "Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man can see God".



 Peace and holiness are twined, they go hand in hand. We must not under pretence of living in peace with men leave the ways of holiness. Beloved, holiness is the ground on which peace must be cultivated. True Christian holiness is never found separate from peace. Thirdly is the sentence "without which no man can see God". A placid peaceably disposition contributes much to our meetness in heaven. It becomes laughable to see Christians stirring up themselves for trouble or even becoming offensive. Let us chide away anger, wrath, unforgiveness, hatred and embrace peace. Good morning. 

PRAYER POINTS: 
(START WITH PRAISE & WORSHIP..)
1. Thank God for a new day.
2.  Pray God to enable you pursue and follow after peace with everyone.
3.  Ask God for the Holy Spirit to lead you in the path of righteousness and holiness.
4.  Pray that you should not be a cast away on the last day.

Sheep’s Clothing!

By Date -
Sheep’s Clothing! Matthew 7:14 – Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It is no more a news that there are many false prophets in this world. They have been even since the Bible days. Elymas in Acts 13:8 was a false prophet that tried to pervert the heart of the people from God. That is the work of these false prophets. They are workers of the devil and nothing about their life is God’s; from the outside they look like God’s prophets and messengers but they are recruiting souls for the devil. They use magic, human wisdom, human strategies to do their work. Consider again, Balaam to an extent I will consider him as a false prophet because he tried to curse the blessed of God and to stop the will of God for His children. Though Balaam hears from God but he wasn’t doing things according to God’s plan and agenda. He planned to even make God’s children fall. Please read Revelation 2:14 and Jude 1:11. Those in sheep’s c

Ceaseless Celebration

Ceaseless Celebration Leviticus 26:6 – And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land Ezekiel 32:1-10; 34:25-31, Esther 9:1-22, Jeremiah 52:31-34 With Joy, I welcome you all into this month. In this month, we will record ceaseless celebration on every side. This is as a result of what God has done for us and what He is doing as well. He has given us peace and rest on every side. He has incapacitated the enemies of our lives. This is indeed wonderful. In this last month of 2017, the magnitude of God’s judgement on the enemies of your life will render them missing on Earth and you will be celebrated. If you haven’t celebrated this year, this month grace will make you celebrate and if you had celebrated, your celebration will not cease or to sorrow. God will put laughter on your face, royal garments on you and you will be recompensed for all the cel

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication

By Date -
Grace for Exceeding Multiplication Genesis 17:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:9 [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Grace is God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is the almightiness of God invading the hopelessness of human. It is a commander of attention. It reduces sweat and increases accomplishments, Psalm 89:20. Exceeding means to be very great and to surpass others. To set a new record. Multiplication is to increase greatly in number, not step by step as in addition. PREREQUISITE 1 - OBEDIENCE - Leviticus 25:18 You can't increase when you are unfaithful in your tithing obligation and others. 2 - REMEMBER THOSE THAT HAVE RULE OVER YOU - Hebrews 13:7. The blessing is given by GRACE and the blessing can be multiplied by GRACE, 2 Corinthians 8:1-4, Acts 4:32-35. PRAYERS May Divine grace for expansion be released upon us - Amen. ________________ A sermon by Apostle Samuel Idedevwo of Christ's Chosen Church of God
