DAY 17 JANUARY 2024 FASTING AND PRAYER
TOPIC: SURELY…..THE PLACE OF ASSURANCE AND PEACE OF GOD
TEXT: PSALM 23:6
PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7
When God says SURELY… He meant every bit of what He says.
Our assurance is anchored in the character of our faithful God, who manifests Himself in the unchangeable person and finished work of His Son.
God doesn’t speak out of both sides of His mouth. God’s Word is always trustworthy, and Jesus Christ is God’s everlasting “yea” and “amen” (2 Cor. 1:18–
Whatever God says is done!
This year JEHOVAH IS SAYING, SURELY…..
All you need is freedom from anxiety or distress; it is the state of tranquility.
Seasons in which there is no war or war has ended (freedom from conflict and crisis).
Assurance is the stability of heart and mind in the midst of confrontations or adversities.
It is the state of calmness and restfulness in the midst of pressures or ‘urgencies’
It is the state of quiet assurance and confidence under all circumstances (Isa. 32:17; 2Thess. 3:16)
THE NECESSITY:
To withstand and overcome the regular pressures and troubles of this world (John 16:33)
So that you don’t die before your time
To confront and conquer sudden storms that may arise in your journey of life (Mark 4:35-39)
The storms of life, at times, arise without warning, and they come to put pressure on your life.
Assurance from God s needed for the workings of God; When man goes to rest, God goes to work (Gen. 2:21-22; Acts 12:6-8;
It attracts instruction, revelation and direction from God (Ps. 46:10; Num. 9:8; Isa. 55:12)
There is knowledge in stillness; there is something to know when you are at peace
It is the foundation of joy.
You cannot have joy if you lack assurance.
It is impossible to be excited when you are worried; it is impossible to be happy when you are anxious; it is impossible to have joy when everything concerns you.
HOW
Jesus in your life.
(Rom. 5:1,
You cannot have the Prince of peace and be in crisis
The mind stayed on God (Isa. 26:3, John 14:27)
What you mind determines the assurance you have
Handing over cares and worries to God (Phil. 4:6-7, Matt. 11:28-29,
If there is anything that is putting your life under pressure now, it is that thing that you have not handed over to God yet.
You can never have your problems on your shoulders and be at peace; hand them over to God. He has enough wisdom, power and resources to handle what you can’t.
Intimacy with God (Job 22:21)
Anyone who hangs around fire must feel warm
If God is the God of peace, you can’t hang around Him and lack peace; Quality time in God’s Presence is doorway to peace
People who carry the Presence of God walk in unspeakable peace
Following the direction of God for your life brings assurance.
If God is leading you, peace is non-negotiable; to follow the way of the Lord is to collide with peace.
When God speaks, it is peace you hear (Ps. 85:8)
Whatever you do that lacks peace, God is not in it! Peace is proof of Divine guidance
Don’t force yourself to be at peace with what you have no peace about
Where peace is lost it means the wrong direction is being followed.
Walking in wisdom (1Kings 5:12,
Wisdom is key to peace
You use peace to confirm the wisdom of every action
Where there is pressure and tension, it is confirmation that wisdom is absent
Anywhere you find pressure, there is a wisdom that is lacking.
