August 18, 2018 Our Daily Journey Devotional : Topic - The Prince of Peace

- ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Scripture Reading - Isaiah 9 : 6 - 7
In their book The Lessons of History, historians Will and Ariel Durant note, “War is one of the constants of history. . . . In the last 3,421 years of recorded history, only 268 have seen no war.” The United Nations was formed at the end of World War II “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war,” so the world could “live together in peace with one another.” But with more than 300 wars fought since 1945, we have yet to experience worldwide peace. Will it ever be realized?

There was once peace on earth, after God first created a harmonious world (Genesis 1:31). But when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, this perfect harmony was shattered (Genesis 3:1-19). We’re now a people of conflict. We fight against God, against each other, and within ourselves (Psalm 2:1-3; Galatians 5:17; Ephesians 2:14).
But God promised a Messiah who would bring everlasting peace. As Isaiah prophesied: “The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called . . . Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end” (Isaiah 9:6-7).
This prophecy was ultimately fulfilled in Jesus. To our world of conflict, the angel gave the “good news” of the birth of a baby. With thousands of babies born each year, the angels celebrated this baby, Jesus, as the One who would bring “great joy to all people” (Luke 2:10).
Because of Jesus, peace with God is possible (Romans 5:1). And we can also experience the peace of God (Philippians 4:6-7).
We can also know that peace on earth is a future reality (Isaiah 11:6-9), for Jesus, the Prince of Peace, will come again. Let’s celebrate with the angels, saying, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased” (Luke 2:14).
NLT 365-day reading plan passage for today: John 11:1-36
