MESSAGE
Many years ago, I came home for holidays as a medical student, and I met someone prophesying. The moment I heard and saw the person, every peace in me disappeared. I became uncomfortable. I was troubled within me even though everyone was praising the person as someone used by the mighty power of God. I said, “No! this is not God.” In a short while, it was confirmed.
At another time, I was meant to travel for an event that was family related, but I had zero peace. Everything was set; flight movement was ready. But when I received the signal, I said, “I would not go on this trip.” The outcome of it was that I thanked God that I did not embark on the trip because of what played out. If I had been there, it would have been disastrous.
It is important to note that one of the ways God speaks to us is through the inner peace, peace of mind. God uses the presence or absence of inward peace to confirm whether a certain decision is right or wrong (Psalm 85:8). The Voice of the Lord carries peace; His direction carries peace. And our anchor scripture makes it abundantly clear that the peace of God shall serve as an umpire, that is, a referee over our heart. The presence of peace signals green light; it means, “Move!” The absence of peace signals red light, meaning, “Don’t move, there is danger ahead! Then, there is a realm where you are not so sure; it indicates yellow light, and it means, “Wait until you can tell what you are sensing.”
Beloved, never struggle to feel good about what you have lost your peace about. If you are considering any issue and you have lost your peace, don’t force yourself. Saul lost the kingdom and missed out from the will of God by forcing himself (1Samuel 13:12). Saul said, …I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering. Anything you are forcing yourself to do, check it, something maybe wrong. Don’t force yourself to go on a journey that you have no peace about.
REMEMBER THIS: Never struggle to feel good about what you have lost your peace about.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
- Take at least 30minutes to one hour and pray in the Spirit daily to sharpen your spiritual sensitivity.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to miss my way in life. Help me to be sensitive to Your direction as I journey through this life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
