Peace In Adversity
These things I have spoken unto you,that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world
John 16:33
God's word gives us the assurance that we're not alone, and that irrespective of the fiendish and dastardly manipulations of the enemy, our victory is a settled fact. As a child of God, you dwell in the secret place of the most high, and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, yet, no harm or evil shall befall you. Believe this truth and make it your consciousness.
Jesus said in Luke 21:25-26 that " In the last days,there'll be perplexity of nations, men's hearts failing them for fear". It is important that if we are on the Lord's side,no matter what might be happening around us,we are not to give room for fear. Rather,we lay hold of God's word, which is the antidote to fear and insecurity.
In the book of John 16:33, Jesus knew we would encounter difficult and trying times in the world,but He confirmed that as we remain in Him,we would live a life of peace even in trying times and in time of crises.
That's why He says;
This things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulations; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
Let these words of the Master re-echo in your heart and create the mindset of the overcomer in you.
Refuse to fear because God has already made you an overcomer:
Ye are god, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world "
1 John 4:4
He has made His power available to you and lifted you over principalities and powers. Your faith in Christ is the victory that overcomes the world:
For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1 John 5:4
You might be in the world that is filled with adversaries, your walk with God and align to His word is capable of giving you peace in whatsoever you might be facing.
Peace be unto you.
