Open Heaven Teens 18th March 2022 | Message

One of the things that Jesus Christ brought to the world is peace, that is, peace with one another and God. Unfortunately, peace is missing in Christian homes, Churches, countries and the world at large today.
This is because people harbour hatred towards one another and refuse to forgive when offended. As a result, families break up, Churches split, couples divorce and love is fast giving way to hatred. How then can one operate in the peace that Jesus brought to the world? First, accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour genuinely. Secondly, show others the way by living in peace with them.

 

If you have a troublemaker around you, instead of avoiding the person, pray for him/her and make conscious efforts to love him/her, regardless of the fellow’s attitude. In addition, when there’s a conflict, you need to understand the reason for the conflict before you react and if you are the one at fault, be humble enough to own up to your mistake, apologise and move on. You need to know that you have the potential to change the lives of those around you, particularly the troublemakers, when you are a peacemaker.

Point: Are you a peacemaker?

Bible in One Year: Luke 1:1-80, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, Deuteronomy 32:1-52
