BE AN AGENT OF PEACE.

TEXT: 1 KINGS 22:41-46

1 Kings 22:41
Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

1 Kings 22:42
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

1 Kings 22:43
In everything he followed the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. The high places, however, were not removed, and the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.

1 Kings 22:44
Jehoshaphat was also at peace with the king of Israel.

1 Kings 22:45
As for the other events of Jehoshaphat’s reign, the things he achieved and his military exploits, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

1 Kings 22:46
He rid the land of the rest of the male shrine prostitutes who remained there even after the reign of his father Asa.

REFLECTION:

General Yakubu Gowon became a military Head of state in Nigeria at the age of 31, when Nigeria was already fragmented as a result of coup d'etat. A civil war broke out during his rule that lasted for thirty months but the Nigerian government successfully prevented Biafra secession. Gowon's major contribution was his effort in reconciling he various fragmented ethnic groups. In a way, Gowon was a peacemaker.

Today's passage presented to us the king of Judah, Jehoshaphat, who also ruled at the young age of 35. He walked in the way of his father, Asa and did what was right in God's sight, particularly in maintaining a peaceful relationship with the king of lsrael.

In like manner, believers are to be a good examples for others to follow by living a peaceful lifestyle as kings and priests of God, here on earth. We are expected not only to live in peace with everyone, but also to ensure that peace reigns in our environment. The world is filled with strife, envy, bitterness, anger and hatred. As believers, we should shine the light of love, peace and harmony so that this world would be a better place to live in. May God help us all.

PRAYER GUIDE:

1. Let us pray for a peaceful coexistence in our midst and nation.

2. Let's pray to always work for a peaceful coexistence in organ, churches and nation at large.

3. Ask God for wisdom to contribute to the peace of the church and nation at large.

4. Pray that God should make us instrument of peace today.

5. Pray for all Men to be an agent of peace in wherever we find ourselves.

6. Pray for all the missionary on the fields for God's protection and mercy.

7. Pray for Souls to be won into the kingdom of God.

8. Pray for Men's finances that God should bless our our work, businesses and engagement in every way.

9. Pray for the leadership of our churches and nations at large for wisdom of administration.

10. Ask God for divine protection over our families in this trying period in our nation!

Shalom!

MMU PRAYER GUIDE FOR 31/03/2021

"Those who love your law have great peace and do not stumble." Psalms 119:165 (NLT)

Reflection

At the very birth of Jesus Christ, the message the angel delivered was a message of peace as recorded in Luke 2:14 that "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests." The peace God gives to His children is a kind of peace that surpasses all understanding. You can see in Psalm and in Luke that this peace is not given to everyone but those God has favoured, those who keeps the laws of God. As we enter the weekend of Easter, may the death and the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ brings about greater peace to you and your family!

5. Let's remember our project at Agbowa Church Auditorium, the completion is very key for us before the next raining season, let ask God to do wonders that Him alone can do.

6. Let's ask God to bless all men to fulfill their pledges and commitment to the Lord.

7. Let pray that the Lord will visit our sources of income and bless the work of our hands in Jesus Mighty Name Amen.

8. Let's pray for those who have a challenges or the other and may not be bold to voice it out, that God that knows and see everything about us we come to their aids in Jesus Mighty Name Amen.

MESSAGE

When a person becomes born again, the things they enjoy doing would change significantly. From the moment I became born again, I have loved winning souls for Christ. I want to tell everybody that Jesus has saved my soul. I’m on my way to heaven and my name is now written in glory.

I still remember the Monday after I gave my life to Jesus Christ. As soon as I got to work, everybody knew something had happened because I was bubbling with excitement. At that time, I was working towards my Ph.D. My supervisor looked at me and said, “Enoch, what happened to you? Did you attend a party during the weekend?” I said, “No Sir, but I’ve got an invitation to another party”. He asked “Which one is that?” and I replied, “A heavenly party. Jesus Christ is going to marry and I am the bride”. That was the very first Monday after I gave my life to Jesus.

*Reflection*

But if we rise even though from what we consider the least sin and we didn't ask for God's mercy, the sin is still counted again you. God's mercy is what we need every single day and the scriptures assures us here that God is compassionate to forgive us of all our sins. Cry out to God today and He will forgive you all your sins.
