7 Steps To Increase The Peace Of God
0
Do you want to live a fulfilling life? The peace of God is a catalyst for a fulfilled life. The more of God’s peace you experience, the more your life is fulfilling. This article gives the steps to increase the peace of the Lord.
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord – 2 Peter 1:2 (KJV)
There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked – Isaiah 57:21 (AMP)
Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever] – Romans 8:6 (AMP)
The 7 steps
1. Be born again
Receiving Jesus as your lord and saviour is the first and foremost step to experience the peace of God in your life. Jesus is the carrier of God’s peace. Therefore, you can only have the peace of the Lord when you have Jesus.
2. Stand on your justified position
When you gave your life to Jesus, you were justified by faith. You were acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God through faith. As a member of God’s family it is your inheritance to enjoy the peace of the Lord. You need to stand in this exalted position in Christ and take possession of what belongs to you by faith.
3. Be spiritually minded
The spiritual mind is life and peace both now and forever. But the mind of the flesh goes along with it the miseries associated with sin, including lack of peace and ultimately death. Therefore, to live a fulfilling life you need to mind the things of God.
4. Increase your knowledge of God
You multiply this peace by learning more about God and Jesus, and what they are capable of doing. When you have the assurance that God will take care of you and all the issues surrounding you, you will experience more peace and joy within you. And you will live a fulfilling life knowing that God will help you every step of the way. (more…)
LOVE OF GOD-CHANNEL FOR A PEACE OF MIND
2Hi, Jesus loves you.
Peace of mind has really eluded many people today. Fear and anxiety of so many things, including the unknown, have taken the grip of human beings. The next minute, hour, day or month etc, has become a nightmare for the victims of troubled minds. But there is a solution to this challenge: the love of God. This article assures God’s love as the anchor for a peaceful mind
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love – 1 John 4:18 (KJV)
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus – Philippians 4:7 (KJV)
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints – 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest – Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
Many people are really troubled in their hearts for one reason or the other. Some have given themselves to drugs, alcohol, suicide and prostitution, in attempts to drown or run away from the overwhelming challenge. The truth is that they lack God’s fatherly love and peace of God, and so are insecure in themselves.
God longs to shower His love on you because He wants your heart to pant for joy and not for fear. He wants to take away your fears and carry your burden while you rest in His love. You may not believe it but God cares for you. He longs to grant you a restful mind and wipe away the tears from your eyes.
The love of God secures a peaceful mind. When you are enveloped with God’s love, you enjoy peace of mind as one of its benefits; fear and anxiety are totally eradicated; however, joy and peace become a normal way of life for you.
God is love and author of peace. The peace of God has the power to calm you down and give you a rest of mind, no matter the problem you may be facing. It is a force that you can’t really explain its mode of operation but you can experience its manifestation. (more…)
8 Benefits Of The Peace Of God
0Hi, Jesus loves you.
What can the peace of God do for you? Human beings always want to know what is in a thing for them; what will be their benefits or profits before they agree on or do anything. If I go for this peace you are talking about, will it solve all my problems? Which problems will it solve? This post lists seven benefits of this peace plus 1 more
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid – John 14:27 (KJV)
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus – Philippians 4:7 (KJV)
The Benefits of the God-kind of peace
1. Good health - Many people are sick, some are hospitalized because they lacked peace of mind. This peace will give you a rested soul and body. It will keep away worries, stress, depression, high blood pressure and heart related diseases. This reminds me of my mother who thought it was her duty to worry over things. Unfortunately, she developed high blood pressure and died earlier than she should. We really miss her.
2. Positive mindset – People who enjoy peace are positive minded. They expect the best of things. They think positively of people and situations. They don’t get worked up, thinking that things will certainly go wrong.
3. Hope – The peaceful are hopeful and the hopeful are peaceful. When you are hopeless, you will become helpless. The peace of God is a powerful ingredient in building up your hope. You will know that everything will work out for your good and you will expect it to be so.
4. Build and fortify relationships – A peacemaker will always enjoy his or her relationships with others. Peace within you will manifest in your responses to issues. People will be drawn to you because they enjoy the peace that surrounds you: no tension or disputes over things. Being with you will be like medicine to their challenges plus 1 more.
5. Better working environment – Have you ever worked with someone who fights with everybody and everything? Not a place to be in, right? Such a person does not have peace of mind and is only venting it out on things and people instead seeking for help. But a peaceful person can help the troubled person and change the working environment. Peace is contagious. (more…)
How To Build Quality Relationship – Part 2
2April 25, 2012
Hi Jesus loves you.
Here is the concluding part of this post. Quality relationship really is a booster of success stories. Do read and apply to enhance your success. God’s grace is sufficient for you.
——————————————————————————
It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. – 1 Corinthians 13:5 (AMP)
Every success story starts with a relationship. You need people to be successful in life. The key to your success or failure is your ability to build and maintain quality relationship in all areas of your life. However, a word of caution here: no two persons are the same, everyone is unique. Therefore, it is important that you relate to individuals according to your knowledge of them.

7 Learn the act of applying brakes
If you believe in that relationship you will not be in haste. Building quality relationship demands that you make some sacrifices, including sacrificing time, to really appreciate the person you are relating with. Applying the brakes will uncover certain traits in the person that will enhance success for you; that you will miss if you are in a hurry. And you will have a better opinion about that person.
8 Practice not judging others
Being judgemental is detrimental to any success story. No one enjoys being judged by others. You are human with both faults and good qualities, so also your friend, spouse, colleague, etc. By avoiding being judgemental in your daily life, you will attract comments, suggestions and ideas that will boost your success in life.

Hi, Jesus loves you
What effect does your present relationship have on your success story? No relationship leaves you the same way: it builds you up or destroys you, determines your failure or success in life. Therefore, it is very vital that you know how to build quality relationship. This article aims to equip you with basic but adequate knowledge on how to do just that.
Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation], and by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. – Proverb 24 (AMP)
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! – Proverbs 15:1, 23 (KJV)
Every success story starts with a relationship. You need people to be successful in life. The key to your success or failure is your ability to build and maintain quality relationship in all areas of your life. However, a word of caution here: no two persons are the same, everyone is unique. Therefore, it is important that you relate to individuals according to your knowledge of them.
How to build relationship of great quality
1. Have a relationship with God
First and foremost, build a relationship with God. How you relate with God determines how you will relate with your fellow human beings. A close walk with God builds you to be like Him: to think, talk and act like Him. A relationship with God is the foundation for any success story. Remember, God is the God of success. This outstanding world we are in is a proof of that.
2. Have an understanding Attitude
There is nobody you cannot relate with. All you need is an understanding attitude. It will help you to avoid any misunderstanding. A good picture of the person you are relating with will determine what you say, when and how you say a thing. Also, it will determine how you act before the person. Every relationship is to benefit everyone involved.
3. Be rational
Emotion, though important to relationships, needs to be balanced with reason. Too much emotion can distort your judgement and consequently your success story. When you balance emotion with reason, you tend to make fewer mistakes in life. (more…)
