Title: As we join hands across Planet Earth to pray for peace remember - blessed are the peacemakers.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.”
Matthew 5:9 NKJV
As we join hands across Planet Earth in prayer for peace remember the word of the Lord God Almighty says in Psalms 46: 6-7, 9 (NKJV)
“The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.”
The Lord of hosts is with us, he is commander of the billions of angelic hosts and the arsenals of heaven whose technology is beyond nuclear power. As you pray for peace across planet earth in every conflict we ask for grace of God to make wars cease. We remember the innocent victims of war and ask for grace that they be fed, sheltered and watered. As you take time to pray starting in the nation where you are remember Syria, Israel and other countries of Middle East, South Sudan, DRC Congo, Ukraine, Eritrea, Somalia, Lebanon and many others where there is threat of violence and bloodshed-as you take time to pray for peace , remember the word of God declares you are a blessed person because that makes you a peacemaker because God answers prayer.
Point of reflection: Remember the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ when He suffered, died and rose again gives us access into the presence of God. It makes us priests to our God and qualifies us to be intercessors who can stand before God and plead on behalf of the nations (Revelations 1:6). You are a royal priesthood (1Peter 2:9). You are called by the name of Jehovah, you can seek His face, humble yourself and pray and He has promised (2 Chronicles 7:12-14) that He will hear from heaven and heal our land. As you pray for peace, pray also for the true knowledge and salvation of Jesus Christ across planet earth, that people may discover life in His presence. ( see also Ezekiel 22:29-31, 1Timothy 2:1-8, Joel 2:12-19)
Call for Action: Let us fast and pray on this day as we seek the face Almighty God in prayer. The starting point-
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you on this day for Jesus Christ whom you sent to suffer and die for my sin. I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today. I reject the enemy Satan and his influence upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ you have nothing in me and I have nothing in you. I command you to let me go and serve the only and true God. My Father on this day I present before you this nation and cry for peace and wellbeing. I command the enemy to cease every operation intended to shed innocent blood and cause pain and suffering. I present before you Father these countries of Planet Earth where there is war and strife.................... You are the God who causes wars to cease, you uttered your voice and the earth melted- we release your voice right now Father to let wars cease. I pray also Father for the true knowledge of Jesus Christ upon every soul on Planet Earth. We ask for mercy on your people that they may enter your presence and experience life in the presence of Almighty God.................. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
