					<description><![CDATA[There are nearly 4,000 recognized faiths around the globe though almost 75 percent of the people in the world follow one of the five main faiths which include Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and Islam. So, it is easy to assume that each time someone is called to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, he or she is being called into one of the popular world religions since Jesus Christ is connected with Christianity. But accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is so much more than a call to join a religious cult, it is a call of destiny. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior is akin to setting sail on a profound voyage of the soul. It&#8217;s a journey marked by discovery, surrender, and transformation—a journey where the destination is not a place, but a profound relationship with God, Himself. Why is the call to follow Jesus so different? The Word of God clearly states that “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” Acts 4:12. In other words, coming to Jesus is not just about selecting one of the ways to God or identifying with a faith because it is a reasonable thing to do. It is about the salvation of the soul of man. It is about redemption from the coming judgment on the human race because of sin. What every man does about Jesus has eternal consequences. You may find a long list of religious piety and traditions in any world religion but if you want to be saved, Jesus is the way John 14:6. So, if the call to make Jesus Christ Lord and Savior of one&#8217;s life is this important, how can you accept Him? Acknowledge Your Need. Accepting Jesus begins with recognizing your need for salvation. There is a feeling of inadequacy that every man feels. There is an inner vacuum, a space that man doesn’t know how to fill. We often come to our wit’s end. We experience situations and challenges that reveal man&#8217;s powerlessness. We struggle with sinful habits, addictions and all kinds of evil desires of the flesh. We desire to attain a state of perfection but we soon realize we cannot do so. We try to please God and man through good works but we discover they are not enough. Indeed, all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory Romans 3:23. Acknowledging your spiritual deficiency and the need for a Saviour is the first path to accepting Jesus as your Lord. Believe That Jesus Can Save You. The next step to accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour is for you to put your faith in His ability to save you. You must believe that He is the Son of the Living God and that He came to the world. He was born of a virgin. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins and He rose back to life on the third day. He was taken up to heaven and He will return. You must believe that through his sacrifice, you can be forgiven and have eternal life John 3:16. “For with the heart one believes unto righteousness…” Romans 10:10. Repent and Confess Your Sins. Sin was the thing that separated us from God. Putting your faith in Jesus requires that you intentionally confess your sins and repent of them. Repentance means turning away from your sins and turning toward God. It involves a genuine change of heart and a commitment to living a life that honors God Acts 3:19. Confess Your Faith In Jesus. It is not enough to believe in your heart, you need to affirm your faith in Jesus by confessing it with your mouth. Confess your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You can do this through prayer, expressing your belief in Jesus and your desire to follow him. Romans 10:9 says confession with the mouth alongside faith in the heart is what leads to salvation. Invite Jesus Into Your Heart. Ask Him to come into your heart and begin to live there by the Holy Spirit. Revelation 3:20 says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” This implies that He will be the one in control of your life henceforth. You will allow Him to lead and direct your life from this moment. You will no longer do anything that will hurt or grieve Him. Seek Spiritual Growth. It will soon seem as if you didn’t accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour if you do not seek to grow in your knowledge of Him. You received the power to become a child of God when you invited Him into your life; that power is released as you grow. Grow in Him through daily fellowship with God in reading the word of God, prayer, and fellowship with other believers in a local church. Become accountable to other believers and leaders who can support and encourage you in your faith journey. Share Your Testimony With Others. Nothing solidifies your salvation experience through Jesus Christ like sharing your faith in Him with others. By sharing your faith in Jesus with others, you make it easy for people to know where you stand and you are also making Jesus known. Remember that your journey to accepting Jesus as your Lord began when you heard about Him from someone. Initiate someone else’s journey to salvation by sharing your faith with them. One of the first things Paul did as soon as he got converted was to preach the gospel Acts 9:20-21. You do not need a theological certificate to do this. All you have to do is share with people what Jesus has done in your life. If you have taken these steps, you have become a child of God. The Bible calls you a new creature. Yes, you may not have any special feeling; your skin color may not change but there is a transition from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God. You will prove this to be true as you passionately walk with God daily. Your salvation experience and who you are in Christ will become more of a reality to you as you spend time with Jesus daily praying and feeding on His word. &#160;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Grace is a very common theme in the Bible especially in the New Testament. As a matter of fact, Grace, together with truth is said to come through Jesus Christ (John 1:17), the Mediator of the new covenant or testament (Hebrews 9:15). There are 146 uses of grace in the New King James Version of the Bible — 125 in the New Testament, 88 of which are from the apostle Paul, which means two-thirds of all the uses of the word grace in the Bible are in one author: Paul. No wonder he’s often called “the apostle of grace.” In the Bible, God&#8217;s grace is a term used to describe his unmerited favor and love for humanity. It is a free gift from God, given to us through Jesus Christ, that allows us to be reconciled with him and receive eternal life. God&#8217;s grace is not something that we can earn or deserve; it is something that he freely gives to us out of his love and mercy. It is a source of hope, strength, and peace for believers, and it is something that we can never fully comprehend or fully deserve. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, &#8220;For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.&#8221; In addition, a closer look at God’s word shows that God’s grace is not limited to God’s unmerited favor as most people have come to believe. God’s grace is also that divine or supernatural enablement that empowers us to do or become who or what we could not be by our own efforts or abilities. As John Piper observed, God’s grace is “an influence or a force or a power or an acting of God that works in us to change our capacities for work and suffering and obedience.” In other words, grace (God’s underserve favor) overflows into powerful and practical helpfulness in our daily lives where and when we most need it. Someone under the grace of God has a special ability to do things. For example, Paul accredited his tremendous success as apostle to the grace of God. 1 Corinthians 15:10 says, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” Also, he was able to endure the torn in flesh because of God’s grace (2 Corinthians 12:9). The apostles in the early church were able to do mighty exploits for God because “great grace was upon them all” (Acts 4:33). Meanwhile, Titus 2:11-12 seems to summarize what the grace of God is by highlighting the functions of grace. It says, “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.” From these verses, we can deduce the following; Grace has appeared to all humans irrespective of gender, race, color or nationality Grace brings salvation Grace teaches us to deny ungodliness Grace empowers us to live godly lives Grace is applicable even in this present age. The corruption of our generation is not an excuse to live carelessly because we have been given grace. On a final note, it is important to iterate that though the grace of God is available to all men, not all men have appropriated the grace of God. Even though the grace of God brings salvation, not all men are saved. Yes, God’s grace can enable us to do what we are not capable of doing, yet not everyone is operating at the level of grace. In essence, we must intentionally make ourselves available for His grace. We must open our arms to receive His grace. We must come humbly but boldly to the throne as Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We are asked to be ministers of our heavenly Father&#8217;s grace to others in response to the abundance of grace bestowed upon us. We will never feel full freedom unless we release others from having to live up to our expectations. Living without an attitude of constant grace deprives us of the delight of living free of others&#8217; false expectations. When we are sluggish to provide mercy for the sins of others, we leave God&#8217;s kingdom and put our trust and security in this fickle world. In Matthew 18:21-35, Jesus tells us an important story that we should pay attention to. A servant is pardoned of an overwhelming debt owing to the king. Rather than accepting the grace bestowed to him and passing it on to others, the servant sought out another servant and choked him until he paid his obligation. When the monarch learns about his servant&#8217;s lack of grace, he puts him imprisoned until he pays what he owes. &#8220;So also, my heavenly Father will do to each of you,&#8221; Jesus continues in verse 35, &#8220;if you do not forgive your brother or sister from your heart.&#8221; We are asked to provide grace to others because of who they are and what they have done, not because of who they are or what they have done. Grace would not be grace if it was based on merit or self-worth. Because no obligation owing to us compares to the tremendous amount of sin paid by Jesus&#8217; sacrifice, we are obliged to extend mercy. There is no wrong that anyone has ever done to us that compares to the quantity of undeserved goodwill we&#8217;ve gotten. We begin to taste the delight of our heavenly Father to greater levels when we show grace to others. We reflect the light of God&#8217;s grace into the darkness of a world without second chances when we show mercy to the undeserving. May we emulate our loving Savior rather than the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18. May we not follow the patterns of unforgiveness that we see all around us, but instead place our hope in heaven and let go of what the world considers to be our rightful inheritance. May we commit grace scandals that the unbelievers don&#8217;t understand and the world can&#8217;t explain. May our heavenly Father&#8217;s love radiate through us as we rush out to meet the weak and sinful in their hour of need, offering mercy and compassion. &#8220;If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal, and if I have prophetic powers and know all the mysteries and all the wisdom, and if I have all the faith in the world to move mountains, but I lack love, I am nothing.  If I give away everything I have and give my body to be burned, but I don&#8217;t have love, I win nothing.&#8221; 1 Corinthians 13:1-3. As we endeavor to love people with God&#8217;s compassion and grace, may we gain everything. May we love beyond what the world comprehends and extend grace far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. Allow God to fill you with a new revelation of the grace you&#8217;ve been shown by spending time in guided prayer. Allow God&#8217;s love for others to fill you and today, ask the Holy Spirit to make you a ministry of his divine grace. Why Do We Require Encouragement? Because he knows we need it, God instructed that his people encourage one another. &#8220;In this world you will have tribulation,&#8221; Jesus cautioned in John&#8217;s Gospel, before offering much-needed encouragement: &#8220;But take heart; I have overcome the world.&#8221; John 16:33 We live in a damaged world where everything seems to be pointing us in the direction of selfishness and despair. Our bodies break down, our goals falter, our dreams die, our resolves weaken, and our perspective dims as a result of sin. Suffering 1 Peter 4:12, persecution John 15:20; 2 Timothy 3:12, and all kinds of trials are all guaranteed to us James 1:2-3. People will feel neglected, unimportant, useless, and forgotten if encouragement is missing from a church&#8217;s life. God recognizes the need for grace-filled reminders among his people, so he calls us to encourage one another every day until his Son returns Hebrews 3:13. How Do I Develop The Ability To Encourage Others? There is no single &#8220;correct&#8221; method to encourage one another, but here are a few suggestions to get you started: Ask God to give you the ability to encourage others. Ask him to give you a loving heart and the creativity to know how to express it. Ask him to assist you in letting go of self-centeredness and growing in a desire to help others. We may trust that God&#8217;s Spirit will teach us how to bless others for his glory and their spiritual good since he delights in assisting his people in obeying his laws. Study Barnabas and pray that God would mould you into someone like him. The early church dubbed Barnabas the &#8220;son of encouragement&#8221; Acts 4:36. He was the type of guy you&#8217;d want to hang out with while serving the Lord. He wasn&#8217;t just a spiritual booster; he was a man of strong convictions who wanted to see the church thrive and did everything in his power to make that happen. Solicit from God a heart like Barnabas&#8217; for you and your church. Make daily encouragement a habit. Encouragement comes naturally to some of us, but not to others. Every day, I set a reminder in my calendar to send someone a supportive message, email, text, or phone call. Ask God to give you and your church a heart like Barnabas. Ask God to show you who you should encourage. Request that God bring to mind someone to whom you should reach out. Praying through your church&#8217;s membership directory is one way to achieve this. If you&#8217;re able, use Scripture. Nothing inspires us more than promises found in God&#8217;s Word. Make a list of Scriptures or an excerpt from whatever you read in your daily devotional that God has used to bless you personally.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[According to Worldometer, over three million people have tested positive for the Coronavirus with about 244,773 deaths globally as of May 2, 2020. Apart from the direct health effect of the disease outbreak, there are the economic, psychological and spiritual implications of the pandemic. Many people have lost their jobs due to Coronavirus.  In the United States, more than 22 million people have been reported to have lost their jobs. Some people are running out of food supplies due to  them trying to stay at home to remain  their health safety from the Coronavirus. There is fear, panic and uncertainty and no one knows when this will be over. These are perilous times. No one is exempted from the effect of the virus even if one is not infected. As believers in Jesus Christ, such occurrences as this shouldn&#8217;t catch us by surprise. The Scripture has spoken copiously about such events, especially in the last days. Jesus, while he was teaching the disciples about what will characterize the end of the age, said, &#8220;For nation will rise against nation, and Kingdom against Kingdom, and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in various places&#8221; Matthew 24:7. By plagues, He was referring to pandemics like this. However, this is not a time to despair or lose hope in God. We ought to be of good cheer as commanded by Jesus.  “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.&#8221; John 16:33. Seasons of crises provide us with the opportunity to exercise our faith in God and express it towards fellow men. There is no better time for the world to know that we are followers of Jesus Christ. The following are a few ways by which we can help others through our faith in Jesus Christ in these troubled times: 1.  Exercise Your Faith and Absolute Confidence In God. Everyone needs faith to survive this season. We can inspire the faith of others by demonstrating ours. The world is confused right now. The world is looking for answers. We ought to be positioned as lights amid this darkness. Christians shouldn&#8217;t be part of the hopeless, the depressed, or the discouraged. This is because God has made provision for our survival in His word and we also walk with Him. Like Noah and his family during the flood, we should rise above the current flood of this pandemic destroying many lives. And like Isaac in Gerar, we should breakthrough instead of breakdown such that the world around begins to envy us. There is no better way to inspire others more than living a life of confident trust in God. It is contagious. The results of your faith in God will inspire and attract others towards your God. The testimonies of healing, divine supply and provision that are evident in your life will help others to trust Him too. When Isaac demonstrated his faith in the season of famine, the glory of God was revealed. The Philistines came down to Him and said, &#8220;We have certainly seen that the Lord is with you” Genesis 26:28. 2.  Prayer: Prayer remains one formidable way we can help others through our faith in Jesus. Prayer is an expression of faith in God. When we pray, it shows that we believe that He can solve our problems; we show our faith in the power of God to deliver what we request from Him. This, then, is the time to show our faith in God on behalf of others. a.  We can pray for God to miraculously stop the spread of the virus. Through sacrifice and  prayer, David was able to stop each plague God brought on the Israelites because of the census 1 Chronicles 21:26-27. Through fervent prayers, Elijah was able to move God to send rain on the earth and bring an end to the famine. Aaron had to stand between the living and the dead (a symbol of Intercession) for the plague to stop, Numbers 16:46-48. God can stop the spread of this virus if we pray, 2 Chronicles 7:14. b.  We can pray for the healing of those infected with the virus. The prayer of faith, the Bible promised, will save the sick James 5:15. Mariam was healed of leprosy when Moses prayed, Numbers 12:13-15. Jesus healed many as He prayed. The virus is not stronger than the power of God if we can release our faith. The virus was included in the diseases Jesus died for on the cross and by His stripes, we have been healed. c.  We can pray for the bereaved due to the virus, that the Lord might console and comfort them. Our prayer can go a long way in bringing comfort to the hearts of the bereaved where our words may be inappropriate. The Holy Spirit knows the best way to bring healing to the brokenhearted when we pray. He is the Comforter. d.  We can pray that the Lord might use this season to bring those who do not know Him to Himself. People tend to seek God in seasons of trials and troubles. We can ask God to use these challenging times as a tool in bringing desperate hearts to Himself. 3.  Serve Others. There is no better way to show our faith than to serve others through our faith in Jesus Christ in a time like this. a.  We can volunteer to work with established health organizations in saving the lives of people who are plagued with the virus especially if we are into health-related professions. b.  We can give relief materials to the vulnerable around us especially children, the elderly, the pregnant and the poor. We can send food supplies to people, we can give money or personal protection materials such as face masks and hand sanitizers. c.  We can send words of encouragement to family and friends including strangers. People are apprehensive, panicky and anxious as there is so much uncertainty. Some have lost their jobs and don&#8217;t have any money. The psychological impact of the pandemic is unprecedented. People are discouraged and depressed. Our words can go a long way to bring relief to the faint-hearted especially when the words are based on God’s word. d.  We can sympathize with people who have lost their loved ones. The Bible commands us to “mourn with those who mourn&#8221; Romans 12:15. While we may not be there physically with them, our calls, text messages or mail can go a long way in showing our sympathy. Through faith, we can come through this global pandemic unscathed in the same way Daniel came out of the lions’ den. And as we come out, we can help others go through it too as we demonstrate our faith.  “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Psalms 91:2.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is no other time in the world when the gospel needs to be preached. Despite industrialization, technological advancements and sophisticated innovations many of the human problems are not solved. As a matter of fact, every solution seems to introduce a new problem. The gospel, however, is the holistic solution to the human problems. The gospel is not a quick fix or a religious creed meant to temporarily alleviate human pain; it is the extraordinary Message of God’s powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts him. The gospel doesn&#8217;t just save the soul, it also transforms the mind and heals the body. There is no need of man or woman that is not met in the gospel. Unfortunately, the custodians of the gospel are not doing enough to spread the message. We are either timid, ignorant of the gospel’s power, or lack the wisdom to spread the message. &#160; What Is The Gospel? It is the Good News of the coming of Jesus Christ to provide forgiveness for the sins of all who will believe. The coming of the Lord The Life of Christ The Death of Christ The Resurrection of Christ The Ascension of Christ (The Lord Jesus went to be with Father God) The Cause of Christ (The Holy Spirit of God is sent) The Victory of Christ (Christ Himself will come back) “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” Romans 1.16. “In whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1.14 “If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10.9 For those who do not know how to do this great mission of spreading the gospel here are a few ways you can do this work: By Life: Your life is the greatest way you can effectively preach the gospel. If this is not in place, no method you adopt will work. Your life will nullify your message. Your message will be so lifeless and impotent. It will have no effect on your audience. This is why Jesus didn&#8217;t call us preachers when He gave us the Great Commission. We were called witnesses. In other words, people who have experienced what they now tell others. The gospel that hasn&#8217;t transformed you won&#8217;t transform others through you. This is a way people are attracted to us when we live out the gospel. We are shining the light and “Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising” Isaiah 60:3. People that come close to us should perceive the aroma of Christ even when we have not opened our lips to preach. Our lifestyle should convict them of their sins and challenge them to live a better life. By Lips: The word has to be spoken if it will work. Until the word is spoken, the Holy Spirit has no raw material to convict the sinner and God has given us that rare privilege. He has decided to save people only through the words spoken by the saints under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I have often wondered why the angel had to tell Cornelius to send for Peter who will tell him what he must do Acts 10:3-6. The question is, can&#8217;t the angel simply go ahead and preach to him? This is why we must open our mouths and preach the gospel; angels won&#8217;t do it and this was what happened as Peter preached, &#8220;While Peter was saying these words, the Holy Spirit came on all those who were hearing the word” Acts 10:44. Take note that it was on “all those who were hearing the word.” The Ephesians trusted Jesus “after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation” Ephesians 1:13. Concerning the woman with the issue of blood, the scriptures says, “When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment” Mark 5:25. People either got saved or healed after hearing the word. But “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:14. We must actively use our lips. By Letters: In case we cannot use our lips, we can put pen to paper and preach the word. One thing about the written word is that it does not die even after the writer is gone. It does not preach to a single soul but to as many as will read. This is what the Bible has been doing for ages. Tracts have been very effective in preaching the word. In this digital world, the opportunities to preach the gospel are limitless. You can use your social media handles, blogs and many other platforms to disseminate the word. The written word has been found to be helpful in cases or places where we cannot preach with mouth. These seem to be the three basic ways we can spread the gospel. These methods can be tweaked as we trust the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. We must follow the Holy Spirit so our preaching will not be boring or a religious burden to people who hear us. The gospel is not boring. “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives” Proverbs 11:30. We must also learn to maximize events around us for the gospel. For example, people are prone to listen to the gospel when someone dies. May the Lord give us grace, Amen. &#160; How Do The Desires of Daily Living Take Control of Our Heart From God?

					<description><![CDATA[Fear is real. We are faced daily with issues of life that bring fear. Most of the sicknesses and challenges we experience in life are fear induced. Some people have died in the fear of a thing when the thing itself has never happened. Sicknesses and symptoms like anxiety, worry, depression, headache, high blood pressure and the likes are not unconnected with fear. The Scriptures teach that fear has torment 1 John 4:18.  Fear sometimes inflicts more pain than the experience itself and most of the time what we envision may happen, does not always take place. How then can God help me with my fear? Know the Source of Fear: Fear can be traced to Eden when man fell into sin. After Adam ate the forbidden fruit, He became missing. God couldn’t find Him. When God inquired where he was, this was the reply he gave, &#8220;I heard Your voice in the garden, AND I WAS AFRAID because I was naked; and I hid myself.&#8221; Genesis 3:10, this was the beginning of fear. Sin led to fear. Sin is the source of fear. One cannot be living in sin and be free from fear. We will always have to hide in the presence of God like Adam. This is why we need to repent and abstain from every form of sin. Fear of God: The fear of God, the Scriptures says, is the beginning of wisdom Proverbs 9:10. Without the fear of God, we will always have fears to deal with. What the devil succeeded in doing was to bring Adam and Eve to a place where they lost their fear of God. They disregarded God’s clear instruction and they became captives to fear. What kept Joseph from premarital sex with Potiphar’s wife was his fear of God. He told the woman, “How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God” Genesis 39:9.  The wise live in the fear of God. This is why they have no fears. Understand who You are in God. The Bible says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7. Your daily life must be consistent with the content of your spirit. God has not given you a spirit of fear. It is from the devil and you must resist it vehemently. Spend Time With God. Cast all your fears, cares and worry on Him. Instead of living in anxiety, the Bible admonishes us to “be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-8. Understand the positive side of fear. Fear might be a signal from God that we need to be cautious about the decisions or steps we want to take. When we lose our peace or we become restless over an issue, it might be a sign from God that there is danger ahead. When we are in His perfect will, we will always experience perfect peace. May the Lord “grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life” Luke 1:74-75.

					<description><![CDATA[We all desire something, almost the same thing in life which is the peace of mind. Everyone desires to be free, to have the freedom to enjoy family, friends, life, work and to be able to rest and not to worry about anything at all. We all want to enjoy without any hindrance and not be overwhelmed with any worry that may rob us of life, its purpose and vigor. God, in his infinite mercies has given us this Bible text, Philippians 4: 6-9 to help you and I enjoy the maximum peace he has planned for us. We get depressed when we can’t get the necessary peace of mind. We are quick to get angry and also transfer this aggression to God or someone else close to you. God helps you and I to be at peace through his precious blood. His blood takes charge of everything in our lives. He died on the cross of Calvary and shed his blood for us that we might have an everlasting peace. He fights for you and takes control of all that poses to be a problem to you. To enjoy this peace, the best place to start is with God. God helps his children to have true peace by praying about anything and everything. God wants us to come to him through prayer and thanksgiving. God is aware and concerned about everything that goes on in our lives. He is concerned about our movement, our growth, our career, the job you get and the leisure times you engage in. God helps us to attain this peace by guarding our minds, strengthening us and giving us the grace to access his throne. God also helps us to be at peace by ensuring we don’t worry about anything. In this case, we have to guide our actions and thoughts with all diligence. Do you know that being worried is a sin? It simply means your trust is not in God. God warns us not to be anxious about anything. The power of the Holy Spirit helps us to completely trust God beyond our abilities. God helps us to be at peace by our acts of doing. He wants us to put into practice all we have learned. The Bible which is God&#8217;s words is our only companion of being at peace. This book exposes God&#8217;s plans and thoughts about us to us. These words are written for us so that we may experience and enjoy God&#8217;s peace. To enjoy more of this peace, commune with God and make your requests known to him and he will reveal the secret things of this world to you. Are you ready to meditate on God’s words? Are you ready to take everything to him in prayer? Do not be bothered about the challenges that comes your way in life, the God of peace has made provision to overcome so trust in him. &#160; Why Do Christians and Non Christians Need Help From God? &#160;]]></description>
