TOPIC: PEACE MAKERS AMONG BRETHREN
AUGUST Wednesday 29th
TEXT: 1 Samuel 25: 14-31
KEY VERSE: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5: 9
Jesus is a peacemaker. He is the Mediator between God and man. He offered Himself as a sacrificial Lamb to reconcile man back to God. He is the Prince of peace. Jesus demonstrated this virtue in His life and teachings during His earthly ministry. He has also called His children to the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. Jesus does not only want to promote peace among brethren in church, but also wants to raise peacemakers in Holiness Movement that will propagate the gospel of peace in this turbulent world. Peacemakers make peace through reconciliation. They are able to make peace because they have had encounter with the Prince of Peace and they possess the spirit of peace. Conflicts and disagreements are inevitable in every human setting, including the Christian assembly hence we should expect them in our units and chapters.

viii. He must not be partial in judgment and not be a fearful person that easily submits to intimidation.
