A LIFE OF PEACE AND HOLINESS

Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; Hebrews 12:14–15

We achieve the things we pursue. If we seek for things that are spiritual, we receive spiritual things.

The Lord wants us to be mindful of what we pursue.

1. *We must pursue peace.* As members of the body of Christ, we must work on the relationships we have with other members of the body. In addition, we must develop decent connections with those who believe differently from us.

All Christians recognize love as the unique mark of our faith, yet we struggle to express the love of God. Even in the church and amongst those of the household of faith, Christians exhibit behaviour that is far removed from the love of God. Sadly, sometimes, we allow bitterness to affect our relationships.

When bitterness takes root in our hearts, it defiles us before the Lord and poisons our relationships.

2. *We must pursue holiness.* Holiness does not mean that we have a ‘holier than thou’ attitude. For us to be holy, we must be mindful that we belong to the Lord. We are not of ourselves. The life of the Christian is lived for the Lord.

To live sanctified lives, we must know what is holy and what is unholy. We must know which thoughts and which words are clean and which are unclean. We must also know which actions are clean and the actions that are unclean.

We must separate ourselves from what is unholy. When we know the holy from the unholy, we must turn away from the unholy and separate ourselves unto Holiness. That means we must live our lives with the awareness that the Lord has separated us unto Himself. Remember that we belong to Him and because we belong to Him, we must live for Him.

Those who are aware that they are set apart are able to live apart. Any Christian who becomes aware that he or she has been sanctified by Christ will find that living a holy life to the Lord is not difficult.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, you have called me to peace and holiness. Help me to exhibit your glory with my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS
Scripture Reading: Hebrews 12:1-29

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

In the Roman races, the starting place for the runners was the entrance of the stadium. At the opposite end of the stadium was the goal, where the judge sat and held the prize. Throughout the race, the eyes of the competitors remained fixed on the judge because it was he who determined who had won the prize in his hand.

1. *We fix our eyes on Jesus*. Just as the athletes fixed their eyes on the judge, believers must fix their eyes on the Lord. He is our Judge, the One who stands at the end of the Christian race with His prize in His hands. In order for us to run our course well, we need to start and constantly maintain our focus on Him and His rich reward.

2. *Christ is the author and finisher of our faith.* The author of the race is the one who starts it and the finisher is the judge. Whereas in the Roman races different individuals played this role, for the Christian, Jesus is both the author and finisher of our race, which is our faith. The life of the Christian is Christ-centred.

3. *Jesus endured the cross.* Jesus was able to endure the pain of bearing the cross because of the joy that was set before Him. He overcame the betrayals and denials because He could see the path it would create for all humanity to have a relationship with God. He despised the shame knowing that it would ultimately bring transformation to many lives.

That’s how Jesus helps us run our race. He has set a glowing example for us to look up to and follow. So in the midst of difficulties and hardship, we know the end will be joyful. The Christian life is not an easy one but it is livable.

4. *He is now seated at the right hand of the Father.* In addition to the joy of seeing many come into fellowship with the Father, a reward awaited Christ. He was greatly honoured for His sacrifice. He is now seated at the Father’s right hand.

Jesus is our example for how to live our Christian lives. Regardless of how painful your current circumstances may be, you will be rewarded if you endure with His grace just for a season. In the end, you will see His glory, beauty and power as you continually look to Jesus.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I have set Christ as my example. Help me to imitate Him in all that I do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

THE RACE WE MUST RUN
Scripture Reading: Hebrews 12:1-29

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1

The Christian life is likened to a race. Running was one of the most popular games in the Roman world. Races were held in a place called the stadium – a place so called because its length equalled a stadion or six hundred Greek feet. The stadium had tiers of seats on either side for the spectators or witnesses.

The competitors went through gruelling training to burn all excess fat from their body. In addition, they ran unclothed. Flesh and clothing were laid aside as a “weight” that might hinder them in the race.

This was the analogy that the writer of Hebrews drew on to describe the Christian life. And comparing the nature of the races then to the life of the believer, we see vital lessons to learn from and apply to live fruitful Christian lives.

1. *The clouds of witnesses are watching us.* The men and women of faith who have gone ahead of us have left their testimony to encourage us to live for God. They are the spectators cheering us on. Consider people like David who overcame Goliath and Noah who lived righteously in a dark and sinful generation – these examples are there to encourage us.

2. *Let us run the race that is set before us.* Difficulties may confront us, but we have assurance that we will overcome, as others before us overcame their difficulties. The disciples suffered a lot for their faith. Some were crucified and others beheaded but still Christianity marched on and grew because it rode on the testimony of believers who stood for their faith in the face of great difficulty.

3. *Let us run with endurance.* The Christian life is exciting because though it is challenging it is livable. Developing faith in the Lord is building resilience for every challenge that lies ahead. We can be faithful in our Christian witness because others have been faithful in their witness for the Lord.

4. *Let us lay aside every weight and sin.* There are sins and weights of wrong habits and behaviours we need to let go to run our race. Examine your life and determine what may be holding you back from living for the Lord. Honestly ask the Lord for help in prayer to overcome them so you can freely live for Him. And remember, there are many cheering you on to finish your race well.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I lay aside every hindrance to my Christian life. Help me to run the race that is set before me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

THE CRY OF WISDOM
Scripture Reading: Proverbs 8

“Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it. Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors. Proverbs 8:32–34

Biblical wisdom is not hidden in a secret place. God has made wisdom available to all who desire her. In addition, wisdom pleads for our attention. This is what wisdom says to us.

· *Listen to me.* Be open to wisdom. Wisdom wants us always to keep our ears, eyes and hearts open to her instructions. To find wisdom, we must be observant and pay attention to what happens around us. When wisdom speaks, we must listen.

· *Keep my ways.* Continue the path of wisdom. Wisdom wants us to keep walking with her. When we leave the path of wisdom, we can find ourselves walking in the path of fools. Solomon was a classic example of one who started with wisdom but did not keep the ways of wisdom. Walking in wisdom is a lifetime pursuit. It is something we must do every day of our lives

· *Watch daily at my gates.* Be on the alert for wisdom. I like how the phrase is put – watch daily at my gates. It paints the picture of a hungry person who stands at the gates of a food distribution centre, waiting for the next supply of food. Some people know the right time to visit a neighbour for food but do not have the same attitude towards wisdom.

We grow in wisdom when we ask questions. Though Jesus spent His adult life teaching, the scriptures reveal that he keenly asked questions in the Temple at the age of twelve. The Lord knew all things. However, He shows us by example that before we start making our views known, we must understand the opinions of others. In His adult ministry, the Lord taught by responding to questions.

· *Don’t disdain me.* Don’t get tired of wisdom. Don’t let money or fame diminish the value of wisdom. Many of us consider wealth and fame as more desirable than wisdom. But what is the value of money in the hands of a person who lacks discretion? Without wisdom, our achievements are paraded as a mockery to the world.

Wisdom pleads with us not to belittle her.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach my heart to know your ways and my ears to discern to the voice of wisdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

THE BLESSING OF WISDOM
Scripture Reading: Proverbs 8

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength. By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, All the judges of the earth. Proverbs 8:14-16

Wisdom is an important trait that marks people in positions of influence. Our world is built around communities and relationships. We interact with people daily and to be successful at influencing others positively, we must aspire to acquire wisdom.

Wisdom makes you a leader. This manifests in different ways.

· *Wisdom helps us to do our work.* Because wisdom is related to finding practical solutions to problems, she enables us to do our work well. People repose trust and confidence in those who are successful at unravelling problems and then solving them. It opens up more opportunities for them to lead.

· *Wisdom helps us to rise up in leadership.* It is a driving force that helps us to excel and shine among our peers and colleagues. Pursuing wisdom – to acquire it and live by it - will lead to promotion.

· **Wisdom helps us to lead others well.* Wisdom enables kings, governors, princes, nobles and judges to rule justly. It enables those of authority to govern with honour and grace.

Wisdom is able to do these things because it has five attributes:

a. *Counsel*. It is the ability to hear and discern good advice. Leaders receive different opinions from several quarters. It, however, takes wise counsel to determine which is the right or wrong way and, in some instances, which is the best way among a number of good options.

b. *Sound Wisdom.* It is not perverted. It is not the kind of wisdom that is out to manipulate and control people. Neither is it one the serves in pretense, to lord it over others. Wisdom makes sound judgements.

c. *Understanding*. This is knowing the whys and how’s of life. People who bring clarity in the midst of confusion and direction that yields results are regarded as leaders. Their opinions are respected and highly sought after.

d. *Strength*. It is the ability to get things done. A person’s wisdom is seen in what they are able to do and accomplish. Our wisdom manifests itself in our actions. When we operate in wisdom, we complete tasks and achieve things.

e. *Justice*. Wisdom is manifest when we consistently do the right things. When we show fairness and equity in our dealings, we present ourselves as people worthy of trust and leadership.

In whatever leadership position God places us, He expects us to walk in wisdom and exert influence. May the Lord help you to be a person of wisdom.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, make me a wise leader. Help me to treat those I lead with honour and fairness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
