.
The Title of this Message is: My Peace I give unto you

And I read my Bible Text from: John 14:27

John:14:27 says: Peace I leave with you, my Peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

This is the Word of our Lord Jesus to His Disciples.

In this Scriptures, it is very clear and a direct Message that the Lord was Passing to His Disciples and I will quickly want to consider two (2) phrases.

1. The First one – Peace I leave with you and my Peace I give to you.

These Disciples of Jesus Christ, were just completing their three and a half Years of Discipleship Training and it was about to end because anything that has a beginning must have an end.

And there is a time for everything – A time to train and thank God they did not miss it.They trained and there is a time to put what has been learned to Practice – And that was about to begin for them, because they have been trained by the Lord, and the time to put what they have been taught, what they have learned into Practice was about to start.

The essence of Training and I hope all our Graduating Students are listening; the essence of Training is for you to go out and apply what you have been taught
.
Apostle Paul says in Philippians:4:9 – Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do; and the God of Peace shall be with you.
.
Dear Graduants, I Congratulate you once again because you didn’t miss your Time of Training and that is very important.

Now, the time to Practice what you have learned is about to start, or has begun let me put it that way.

And my Prayer for you is that the Grace to Succeed in this shall abound unto you in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Again Jesus says to the Disciples – Don’t forget we are considering two (2) Phrases.

He says to the Disciples – My Peace I give to you.

Which implies that they are about to face wars, because there is no need to give Peace where Peace already exists.

He says my Peace I give to you which simply means that now you will begin another Chapter of your Life; now you will see wars, you will wage wars or the enemies will wage wars against you.

It therefore means that there will be wars within and without.

Wars within in form of Fears – And I hope that all these Graduating Students, Wonderful People of God you are listening or reading now on the Label of DMC, there will be wars inside in form of fears, discouragement weakness, sometimes illness, inadequacies, temptations and all kinds of Needs. Those wars will come
.
And then wars without – Wars from outside.

What are these?

They are so many – There will be oppositions from the Rulers, that’s what Jesus was saying to them. The Rulers will oppose you, Pharisees and Sadducees will face you squarely.

But Jesus says this to them – It is my Peace alone that will see you through.

May I say to you the Word of Jesus – “The Peace of the Lord Jesus will see you through” in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ – Amen.

Because the Peace of Jesus is the antidote to all types of war.

Whatever war you may be waging or that is raging in your Life when Jesus’s Peace is with you, you will be Victorious and that will be your Portion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ – Amen!
.
And this Peace is available – It is available to the Disciples of old, it was available to them and it is available to us today.

If you can activate it continually, if you activate this Peace continually; you will Succeed in your Assignment – Amen.
.
Jesus’s Peace is the only thing that will make fear and trouble to leave you alone so that you can do the Exploits that you have been Called to do in the Kingdom and God will make sure that you Succeed in those Exploits and Assignment that He has given to you in Jesus Name – Amen.

Now the Question is: How do I activate Jesus’s Peace?

1. You activate Jesus’s Peace when your Mind stays on Him.

Beloved Graduands, your Mind has to stay on the Lord if you want to enjoy His Peace.

Mind staying on the Lord is another word for Trusting God.

Isaiah 26:3-4

3. Thou wilt keep him in Perfect Peace, whose Mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

4. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is Everlasting Strength:

Anyone who puts their Trust in the Lord is blessed already and that blessing includes Peace.

Jeremiah 17:7 says: Blessed is the Man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose Hope the LORD is

When you refuse to allow anything to tamper with your Trust in Him, not your Knowledge, not your Understanding as we have it written in Proverbs 3:5-6.

Proverbs 3: 5-6

5. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own Understanding.

6. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy Paths.

Then Jesus’s Peace gets activated in your Life and it begins to rule and that will be your Portion in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

2. Quickly, you get the Peace of Jesus activated when you delight in God’s Word – When you delight yourself in God’s Word.

Psalms 119:165 says: Great Peace have they which love thy Law: and Nothing shall offend them.

When God says to Joshua in
Joshua 1:8 – This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way Prosperous, and then thou shalt have Good Success.

What God is saying is that that’s the only way for you to have Peace, that’s the way to have Peace each time you go into the Word of God; you find comfort, you find direction, you find encouragement, you find Strength.

For instance, in Psalms 34:19 which comforts me all of the time.

Psalms 34:19 says: Many are the afflictions of the Righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

… Not just from one, not just from two, out of them all – That is so comforting.

So when you delight yourself in the Word of the Lord; you will have Peace
.
3. You want to activate Jesus’s Peace; you have to obey God’s Word.

… Obedience to God’s Word activates Jesus Peace.

Isaiah 48:18 says: O that thou hadst hearkened to my Commandments! Then had thy Peace been as a River, and thy Righteousness as the waves of the sea:

When you obey God’s Word, you become His friend.

Because Jesus says in John 15:14 says: Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I Command you.

And when you become Jesus friend, God will forever surround you with His Mercy.

All that you and I need in Life is Mercy.

If you lose out of the Mercy of God that Person is finished.

That’s why Romans 9:15-16 says:

15. For He saith to Moses, I will have Mercy on whom I will have Mercy, and I will have Compassion on whom I will have Compassion.

16. So, then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth Mercy.
.
4. You want to activate God’s Peace; Jesus’s Peace in your Life, you have to be Righteous.

Works of Righteousness activates Jesus’s Peace.

Isaiah 32:17 says: And the work of Righteousness shall be Peace; and the effect of Righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

If we can be Righteous we will have Jesus’s Peace.

Proverbs 12:21 says:
There shall no evil happen to the Just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

If you will be Righteous, ,you can be sure Jesus will give you his Peace!
.
5.You must learn to Call upon Him all of the time – That will activate His Peace in your Life.

That is another way of saying that if you can be Prayerful, you will operate in Jesus Peace.

Jeremiah 33:3 says: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee Great and Mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Philippians 4:6-7 says:

6. Be careful for Nothing; but in every thing by Prayer and Supplication with Thanksgiving, let your Requests be made known unto God.

7. And the Peace of God, which Passeth all Understanding, shall keep your hearts and Minds through Christ Jesus.

You want to have Jesus’s Peace, you must learn to Pray and I hope all Graduating Students you are hearing me well – You must learn to Pray and to Pray all of the time.

When Storms and Turbulences comes knocking, call upon the Master of the Storms; He will calm them – He did for the Disciples on the Sea of Galilee when they called upon Him in
Mark 4:38-39.

38. And he was in the hinder Part of the Ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we Perish?

39. And he arose, and rebuked the Wind, and said unto the Sea, Peace, be Still. And the Wind ceased, and there was a Great Valm.

*If you Call upon Him in whatever Turbulence or Storms; He will hear you, He will calm that Storm.

He will say to the Storm again: Peace be Still because He is alive forever more –
Halleluyah

Anytime, any day when you Call on Him, He is ready to say: Peace be Still!

May He continually calm every Storms in your Life as you Call upon Him – Amen!

ALTAR CALL

As I close – Maybe there is Somebody here or reading now on the Label of DMC – You have not surrendered your Life to this “Master of the Storm”; there is no way you can enjoy His Peace because His Words says: There is no Peace for the wicked.

But if you will come to Him today, I guarantee you – He will receive you and you will begin to enjoy His Peace.

If there is anyone like that in our midst today; Please I want you to make today a Memorable Day in your Life by surrendering your Life to Jesus Christ as we now bow our heads to Pray.

I will like such a Person just to stick up his/her Right Hand and I will Pray with you.

Anyone that have not surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ and you are going through Turbulences and Storms; Jesus Christ is able to give you Peace – He is the Prince of Peace, He wants to give you Peace and today He is ready for you.

Are you ready? Sre you ready now?

Just stick up your Right Hand – Wnyone like that here?

Anyone like that? – Make this Europe Convention 2022 Unique in your Life.

Is anyone deciding for Jesus Christ today here – Halleluyah (Amen and Amen).

GENERAL PRAYERS

Because all that I want us to ask this afternoon is God’s Grace.

When you obey God’s Word you are obeying God.

Lord the Grace to obey you to obey your Word – Cry for the Grace to be Righteous, to live Righteously in this crooked and wicked world.
