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 “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.” NKJV.
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 for our 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, as you seek His face, humble yourself and pray
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).
