I HAVE SPOKEN THIS THAT IN ME YOU MAY
HAVE PEACE
SCRIPTURE:
John 16:33. These things I have spoken to you, that
in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of
good cheer, I have overcome the world."
TODAY’S LESSON:
In the world, problems and tribulations are part of our everyday life,
whether you’re a believer, or a spiritual leader, whether you’re rich or poor,
whether you’re disabled or not, trials are always set on our way. Our life in
the world has been preoccupied with only imperfect stories and no one have I
ever heard be the richest man in the world nor the wisest in the world that has
lived a perfect life in this world. What else? Even the savior Jesus Christ
always struggled and fought with the tribulations of the world. People attacked
Him, He was tempted by the devil because He was hungry, and again lastly He was
crucified on the cross, being nailed through his hands and feet, a thorn crown
on his head as He died a shameful death for us.
So my friends, I beseech you to have peace when trouble comes. There
is a saying that, “quitters never win,” and this is very true. When you quit,
you lose.
But count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that
the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect
work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. –James 1:2-4
Jesus tells us to be of good cheer because He had overcome the world.
The primary cause of fear and unsettled mind that causes our hearts to run out
of God’s peace is the lack of knowledge or wisdom to the solution of the trials
that comes to our way. For example, if a car runs out of fuel, that wouldn’t be
a problem when you have money for fuel, but that also doesn’t worry you because
you already know the solution of it. But here comes the cancer disease or the
Corona virus pandemic disease and doctors say we have not got the cure yet, in
other words, we still lack knowledge of healing you so you’re going to die.
Jesus is lifting you up saying that, “In Me you may have peace. In the world
you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the
world."
It doesn’t matter how or what, but the word says, when you face trials
and tribulations, be of good cheer, and stay in the peace of Christ who have
overcome the world. Call to the name of the conqueror, Jesus who has already
overcome the world to give you the wisdom you need so that you may overcome the
world too.
James 1:5. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask
of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given
to him.
PRAYER:
Our precious Lord Jesus Christ we thank
you for you have overcome the world on our behalf so that we may merry in you
our Lord. You found us dead in our trespasses and you made us alive in You, how
great are You Lord to us. We praise you and worship you. And we will always
remain in your peace, and run to you for wisdom, for you Lord alone have
conquered the world and we put our trust in always for the safety of our lives
in the name Jesus Christ. Amen.
