It is unfortunate to say that lots of:
1. People sort for real and lasting PEACE in places and positions where there is no real and lasting peace.
2. Organisation sort for real and lasting PEACE in strategies and systems where there is no real and lasting peace.
3. Governments sort for real and lasting PEACE in policies and structures where there is no real and lasting peace.
Real and lasting PEACE can only be found in the GOD of heaven through His Son, JESUS CHRIST and the real and lasting peace He gives manifest in people and through people as a person. The person of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.
This is why Jesus Christ is called the Prince of Peace. The Bible reveals thus:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, The PRINCE of PEACE.
Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. (Isaiah 9:6,7).
This is why Jesus Christ said My Peace I give unto you. The Bible reveals thus:
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Peace I leave with you, My PEACE I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:25-27).
Real and lasting PEACE is a person and is the person of Jesus Christ, which comes into the heart of men as the Holy Spirit of God, the Comforter, comes in their lives at their genuine moments of salvation (born-again).
Therefore,
1. Until Jesus Christ, the real and lasting PEACE of God comes into the hearts of parents and their children, there cannot be real and lasting PEACE in homes across the World. True!
2. Until Jesus Christ, the real and lasting PEACE of God comes into the hearts of leaders of organisations and their people, there cannot be real and lasting PEACE in organisations across the World. True!
3. Until Jesus Christ, the real and lasting PEACE of God comes into the hearts of leaders of governments and their citizens, there cannot be real and lasting PEACE in nations across the World. True!
Real and lasting PEACE is not humanly driven, but divinely driven.
Real and lasting PEACE is not externally driven, internally driven.
While it is true that we can achieve some level of external and human peace through enforcing certain rules and regulations in our homes, organisations and nations, but real and lasting PEACE can only be achieve in our homes, organisations and nations by Christ in the heart of men and women.
Real and lasting PEACE is not unrighteous living driven, but righteous living driven.
Wherever there is unrighteousness (sin) in the hearts of men and women, there will not be real and lasting PEACE in that place. True!
However, wherever there is righteousness (holiness) in the hearts of men and women, there will be real and lasting PEACE in that place. True!
This is why the Bible says thus:
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Let him know, that he which converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. (James 5:19,20).
Do you get it?
Rules and regulations can only give us temporary peace, but not real and lasting PEACE in our homes, organisations and nations.
If we truly desire real and lasting PEACE:
1. In our homes, let parents leads their children to God through Jesus Christ and vice versa.
2. In our organisations, lets leaders of organisations leads their people to God through Jesus Christ and vice versa.
3. In our nations, lets leaders of nations leads their citizens to God through Jesus Christ and vice versa.
This where the Church of Christ (the people of God in Christ in this World) comes in. What do I mean?
Only genuine children of God in Christ in this World are the salts and lights of the World. (Matthew 5:13-16).
Only growing in grace children of God in Christ in this World can truly be the salts and lights of the World. True! (1 Peter 2:9,10),
Therefore, the fivefold leaders of the Church of Christ on Earth must understand and consciously take their spiritual and strategic place on Earth to raise by the Word of God and Spirit of God:
1. Parents who will truly teach and raise their children to live godly and contentedly in our homes.
2. Leaders of organisations who will truly tea h and raise their people to live godly and contentedly in our organisations.
3. Leaders of governments who will truly teach and raise their citizens to live godly and contentedly in our nations.
The Bible reveals thus concerning leaders of the Church of Christ on Earth thus:
And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: (Ephesians 4:11-15).
If there will be real and lasting PEACE in our homes, parents and their children must have the PEACE of God (Jesus Christ) within them, without which tthere will be no real and lasting PEACE in our World. True!
If there will be real and lasting PEACE in our organisations, organisational leaders and their people must have the PEACE of God (Jesus Christ) within them, without which there will be no real and lasting PEACE in our World True!
If there will be real and lasting PEACE in our nations, national leaders and their citizens must have the PEACE of God (Jesus Christ) within them, without which there will be no real and lasting PEACE in our World True!
If there will be real and lasting PEACE in our World, World leaders and their allies must have the PEACE of God (Jesus Christ) within them, without which there will be no real and lasting PEACE in our World. True!
There cannot be real and lasting PEACE in our homes, organisations and nations until there is the real and lasting PEACE (Jesus Christ) in the hearts of the people within them and influencing them as well to make the right choices and take the right decisions daily. True!
Do you have the real and lasting PEACE of God (Jesus Christ) within to be peaceful in Christ in this World.
Remember, the Bible counsels thus:
Follow PEACE with all men, and HOLINESS, without which no man shall see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:14).
God bless you.
