Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 39, Day 5: Thursday, 28th September 2023. TOPIC: PAUL’S WORD TO BELIEVERS. Live In Peace (5)

“17. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18. If It Be Possible, As Much As Lieth In You, Live Peaceably With All Men.”

Our fifth Word from Apostle Paul is the word, “Living In Peace” with one another. Can we really live in peace with each other? Even in Christiandom, is it possible to be at peace with one another? Let’s go back to our topic yesterday, Living in Harmony. Without harmony there can’t be peace. Peace is, accepting others as they are. Peace Isn’t the absence of challenges and differences but knowing people for their habit and accepting them. Let’s take this instance, an insane person going on the street is at peace with everyone. Everyone knows he/she is insane even, if they misbehave nobody interferes, that is what Peace means. When an insane person comes closer to you, you try as much as possible to avoid any clash with them all in the name of peace, that’s what living in peace means, accepting others with their fault, adding little correction and still work with them.

Apostles Paul said, “try your best to live at peace with all men”, not because there’s no offence but all you want is for peace to reign. All marriages you admire from afar are not that perfect or sweet without living in peace. Staying with an unbeliever entails Peace without fear. Children fight for a moment and the next minute they are playing again. Living in Peace is not the absence of argument but managing our differences without hurting one another. Living in peace may be difficult but it helps grow unity amongst us. Endeavour to live in peace wherever you are and God will be glorified.

Good Day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today.
