Dunamis’ Seeds of Destiny 28 September 2020 Devotional By Pastor Paul Enenche — More Keys To Experiencing The Peace Of God

Topic: More Keys To Experiencing The Peace Of God

Spending quality time in the presence of God is doorway to peace. People who carry the presence of God walk in unspeakable peace; when you come around them, you feel the serenity of Heaven.

SCRIPTURE: Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Job 22:21

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Spending quality time in the Presence of God is doorway to peace.

Yesterday, we saw three demands or keys to experiencing the peace of God.

Today, we shall consider more keys to experiencing the peace of God.

1. Intimacy with God

Everyone who hangs around fire must feel warm. For instance, if you stay around the kitchen for a while, people would begin to perceive the aroma of food around you. In the same way, when you stay around the Presence of the God of peace, you will experience His peace. The Presence of God is a container of peace. It is a dimension of peace that is devoid of worry and pressure!

Spending quality time in the presence of God is doorway to peace. People who carry the presence of God walk in unspeakable peace; when you come around them, you feel the serenity of Heaven. When you connect yourself with God in intimacy, you will be at peace in life (Job 22:21). When you come to Jesus, you will find peace (Matthew 11:28-29). He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

Many times, when people come to see me in my office, they say, “I feel unusual peace; everywhere is peaceful. There is nothing that suggests any problem.” That is the raw unadulterated Presence of God. It gives serenity; it gives a kind of tranquillity that makes you forget that there is any challenge in this world.

2. Hearkening to God’s Word and Commandment

Lovers of the Book of God are carriers of the peace of God (Psalm 119:165). Distance from the Bible is distance from peace. People who love the Word of God have great peace – whether it is by reading the Bible or by listening to the preached Word. You will have peace if you listen to God’s Word (Proverbs 3:1-2). So, make up your mind to study God’s Word.

3. Access to the Voice of God

This is hearing God for a specific direction. Following the direction of God for your life brings peace (Psalms 23:1-2).

If God is leading you, peace is not negotiable. The leading of God makes peace automatic. To follow the way of the Lord is to collide with peace (Psalm 85:8, Isaiah 48:18). If you listen to Jesus, you will have peace in the world of tribulation (John 16:33).

Please know this: God is not in anything you do that deprives you of peace. It does not matter how excited you are or how fanciful it appears, if you lack peace, God is not in it. Peace is a proof of Divine guidance. (Colossians 3:15).

My counsel is, let the peace of God rule your life as an umpire. Let the peace of Christ be your guide in life.

Remember this: Spending quality time in the Presence of God is doorway to peace.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Make up your mind to spend quality time with God at the place of prayer.
2. Read your Bible, listen to preached messages and obey God’s Word.
3. Access specific Divine direction for your daily living.

PRAYER: O Lord, I thank You once again for showing me the keys to experiencing your peace in my life. I ask for the grace to do all it takes to experience Your peace, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: The God that gives the Word also gives a sign. Many people have died earlier than they should, with God watching. He could not do anything about it because He would not break His principles. He had given all the signs and they ignored them. Culled from “15 KINGDOM PRINCIPLES FOR SURVIVAL” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Habakkuk 2-Zephaniah 1

AMAZING FACT: Ants are pretty darn tidy. Worker ants have been known to take rubbish outside the nest to a dumping point! Each ant colony has its own special scent. This way, they can smell intruders!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Proceed into a higher level of intimacy and relationship with God by the help of God, in Jesus’ Name.

Dunamis’ Seeds of Destiny 25 September 2020 Devotional By Pastor Paul Enenche — Accessing Divine Instructions

Topic: Accessing Divine Instructions

There is knowledge in stillness. There is something to know when you are at peace. If you are still, you will know…

SCRIPTURE: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The peace of God attracts instruction, revelation and direction from God.

In our previous studies, we saw two reasons why peace is needed in our lives. We saw that peace is needed to confront and conquer certain storms that may arise in our journey of life. We also saw that we need peace or rest from anxiety for God to work in our lives.

Now, another reason why peace is needed is that the peace of God attracts instruction, revelation and direction from God. Psalms 46:10 says, Be still, and know that I am God…

There is knowledge in stillness. There is something to know when you are at peace. If you are still, you will know…

Numbers 9:8 says, And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you.

This means, if there is too much tension and worry around you, you can’t hear anything from God. When you stand still, you will hear. So, calm down! Moses seemed to say to the children of Israel, “Your noise is disrupting my hearing. Your worry is disrupting my hearing. Your tension is disrupting my hearing from God. Stand still! Calm down! And I will hear.”

Isaiah 55:12 says, For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

So, if you need to be led, you can only be led while peace is in place. You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace. So, God is saying to you, “Calm down! Let me talk to you. Calm down, let me show you who I AM. Just calm down! Your mind is like a football field – too many things are running through it. You are just roaming up and down. Calm down!”

The peace of God is the fountain of true joy. And you know that joy is key to strength. You cannot have joy if you lack peace. Proverbs 12:20 says, Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

This means, there is joy for those who possess peace and offer it to others.

Romans 15:13 says, Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace…

Beloved, when God fills you with joy, it goes with peace. It is impossible to have joy when you lack peace. It is impossible to be excited in anxiety. It is impossible to be happy when you are anxious. It is impossible to have joy when you are concerned about everything. Therefore, make up your mind to have peace at all cost.

Remember this: The peace of God attracts instruction, revelation and direction from God.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Make the choice for peace instead of worrying.
2. Refuse for your heart to be occupied with the worries of this life.
3. Endeavour to remain still and calm in the face of all circumstances so as to access Divine direction.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your Word to me today. I receive the grace to be still so I can access Your instructions, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Peace of heart is a referee. When peace’s whistle blows, then you can go ahead. Culled from “15 KINGDOM STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Micah 3-5

AMAZING FACT: Ants have compound eyes, which allow them to see movement very well.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Receive the peace of God that guarantees Divine instruction in your life in Jesus’ Name.
