Bible verse: Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Message
Peace is defined as a stress-free state of security and calmness - mental or emotional calm - everything coexisting in perfect harmony and freedom from disturbance; tranquility, free from civil disorder, from anxiety or distress or violence or nagging, envy, jealousy etc.
Beloveth, it is God's goal for his children that they live free of all care and worry.
Unfortunately, for many, peace comes and goes, leaving them worried, restless, battered by stress, secretly plagued with panic, turmoil and sleepless nights.
Beloveth, the good news is the assurance Jesus gave to us: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you".
With the peace of the Lord you can walk with God without fear, enjoying His peace all the days of your live.
But there is a price to pay - you must acknowledge your unfaithfulness, walk in righteousness and pray earnestly for renewal of mindset and with love accept God's disciplines knowing fully that God wants true righteousness that seeks and trusts Him.
Remember it is written: "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you."

Prayer
Gracious Father, I trust You to work in my hearts to fulfill Your good purposes and to guide me in the path of peace and not into restlessness, emptiness or fear, but into calm and rest.
Lift up Your countenance upon me and give me peace in every aspect of my life in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 10:6
Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked

Message
Blessings are the generous and kind favors from God directed toward men who live godly lives in the fear of the Lord.
Are you living the just man's life, or living the world's wicked life of sin?
Beloveth, how you live will determine how you will be rewarded - blessings or wrath of God.
Violence which includes economic disaster, health problems, financial failures, professional loss, family dysfunction, mental instability and any other troubles that God is justified to pour out upon foolish sinners, is programmed upon those who do not care for God or His ways, those who love the things of the world above God, those who walk in unholiness and killers of their brethren.
But if you walk before God in integrity of heart and uprightness, and your ways are pleasing to Him, He will open heavens and pour His blessings upon you.
He will elevate you in the presence of your enemies so they can see His grace, mercy, favor and blessings upon your life.

Prayer
Purify my thoughts, oh Lord, and let my ways be pleasing to You in Jesus name.
Thank You Lord for Your protection, love and mercy, for bringing me forth to the light and for my deliverance.

Bible verse: Matthew 18:25-27
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

Message
Mercy is giving compassionate treatment to those in distress.
Beloveth, sin causes great distress for us; it angers God just like the king who commanded his servant to be sold including wife and children.
Our only hope is found in God's mercy and His readiness to treat sinners compassionately.
Beloveth, God distributes His mercy as He wills because He hath saith that He will have compassion on whom He will have compassion, and hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will hardeneth.
God being merciful He rescued Lot and his family from Sodom and Gomorrah.
As sinners we need mercy from God. because His mercy is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him.
Seek God therefore, calling upon Him, forsaking your sinful ways and turning to the Lord and He will surely forgive your sins and have mercy on you.
But if you are unwilling to fall down, confess your iniquities, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me you should not be surprised of His wrath hardeneth your heart as he did unto Pharaoh.

Prayer
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin in Jesus name.
