Topic: HOW TO RETAIN YOUR PEACE

Text: Mark 4:39-41

Introduction

While we keep seeking God face and intervention in every aspect of our lives, we need to know the things that are crucial to our enjoying the peace we have received. We pray that God will give us understanding in Jesus name.

1.Stand in faith. We need to know that the devil is not happy when we have peace and joy but one thing is sure, what God has done shall be permanent. We need the force of faith to enjoy the blessing of God. 1John 5:4; Exodus 14:14. 

2.Change your confession. Your confession determines your possession no doubt. Having been assured of peace by God you need to constantly confess your peace in God no matter the situation. Romans 5:1-2; Mark 11:23-24; 2 Kings4:18-36

3.Avoid the previous pitfalls. So many people do not look back to the cause of their problems. Therefore, many prayers do not receive answers from God. They cry foul to heaven without results. John 8:1-11; John 5:1-14; Judges 6:1-10.

4. Live in constant thanksgiving. When God blesses you, the guarantee of retaining that miracle can only be got when you appreciate Him regularly. The thief is around the corner that is always ready to take away. Luke 17:11-18; 1 Thess.5:18; PhI1.4:6-7.

5.Engage in spiritual warfare. We are in constant battle daily with the hosts of hell. We have several spiritual weapons to fight with that is why we must not give up. 2 Samuel 5:17-23; Ephesians 6:10- 19;Luke4:13

CONCLUSION

Do not assume that the devil that caused the storms you faced previously has gone to bed and relax. You must be on guard at all times to maintain your victory. May the peace of God remain with you.
