Pursue Peace with all Men: Devotion for Tuesday January 14 2020

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Devotion for Tuesday January 14 2020

Topic: Pursue Peace with all Men                                           

Text: Hebrews 12:12 – 17

There are many things God expects from us as Christian. These expectations are His standard and should be strictly adhered to. Anything short of that expectation will definitely become a hindrance to our qualification for heaven not minding the level we professed Christianity. Two of the expectations; pursuing peace and holiness are in our bible reading for today. 

We are exhorted to strengthen one another because burden of affliction is apt to make the Christian's hands hang down, and his knees grow feeble, to dispirit him and discourage him. It is our duty to help fellow Christians when they are weak.

Again, we must try to live in peace with everyone. We should have peaceful relations as possible with our unbelieving neighbours and associates, as well as harmonious relationships within the church. In addition to seeking peace, Christians must also seek to live a holy life.

Holiness means devoted or consecrated to God’s service. In a practical way, our holiness means honouring God in how we treat others; friends, neighbours, spouse, children, even enemies and in how we run our businesses, finances, etc. Holiness causes the behaviour, thoughts, and attitudes of Christians to be different from unbelievers. 

Our holiness, provided for us by the death and resurrection of Christ, will allow us to see the Lord as He really is, when we go to be with Him forever. Do you desire to see God? Then you pursue peace and holiness.

Action: If there is anyone who has offended you or you have offended, go and make peace with the person today.

Memory verse: Romans 12:18

Prayer: Lord God, help me to live in peace and holiness in Jesus name.
