Joyce Meyer (December-16-2022) Daily Devotional: Blessed Are the Peacemakers

Pursuing peace means making an effort. We cannot maintain peace simply by our own fleshly efforts; we need God's help, and we need grace, which is His power assisting us and enabling us to do what needs to be done. 

The efforts we make must be in Christ. Too often we just try to do what is right without asking for God's help, and that type of fleshly effort never produces good fruit. The Bible calls this a "work of the flesh." It is man's effort trying to do God's job. 

What I am saying is, be sure you lean on God and ask for His help. 

When you succeed, give Him the credit, the honor, and the glory because success is impossible without Him.

Jesus said, Apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing (John 15:5). It takes most of us a long time to believe this Scripture enough to stop trying to do things on our own, without leaning on God. We try and fail, try and fail; it happens over and over until we finally wear ourselves out and realize that God Himself is our strength, our success, and our victory. He doesn't just give us strength—He is our strength. He does not just give us the victory—He is our victory. Yes, we make efforts to keep peace, but we dare not make efforts without depending on God's power to flow through us; failure is certain if we do. 

The Lord blesses peacemakers, those who work for and make peace. Peacemakers are committed to peace—they crave peace, pursue peace, and go after it. They don't just hope or wish for it, they don't just pray for it. They aggressively pursue it in the power of God. Make a commitment to pursue peace from this day forward. 

Prayer Starter: Lord Jesus, I trust you to make me a peacemaker—one who works for and pursues peace with You, myself, and others. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Andrew Wommack - (June 2, 2020) Live Bible Study: Blessed are the Peacemakers

Joel Osteen (February-17-2020) Daily Devotion: Be a Peacemaker.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Matthew 5:9, NIV

TODAY'S WORD: It’s easy think, If my coworker wasn’t so disrespectful, I wouldn’t argue. No, you have to be the bigger person. Just because they’re doing wrong doesn’t mean you have to engage. That’s the enemy baiting you, saying, “Argue, fight, set the record straight, prove you’re right.” Don’t take the bait. It takes a mature person to overlook an insult and say, “No, I’m staying in peace.”

Jesus didn’t say, “Blessed are those who are right.” For the sake of peace, sometimes you have to let the other person think they’re right, even when you know they’re wrong. We think, I’m right, and I’m going to prove it and win this fight. Can we tell you that being right is overrated? You can win every battle, prove your points, but your relationships are being damaged. Put your ego down and let them be right even though you think you’re right. Be a peacemaker and learn to shake it off and move on.

PRAYER FOR TODAY: “Father, thank You for the promise of blessedness when I take the high road and am a peacemaker. Give me wisdom to know when to keep my mouth closed and overlook something that bothers me. I believe that walking in peace is Your will for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

John Hagee ( Sermon: Blessed are the Peacemakers. Pastor Hagee tells us that the times in America are desperate, but the church is not. God’s Word does not change, and it does not return void. We need to stop praying for peace, and start seeking righteousness. Jesus came to divide the wheat from the tares, to divide the light from the darkness. Heading into a fight with God on your side is the way to gain the complete and total victory against any enemy you are facing. Put on the full armor and run in to the battle without fear. The victory is already yours.

Victoria Osteen - Sermon: Be A Peacemaker. God could have chosen anyone, but He chose you! He appointed you! He put greatness on the inside of you. You are valued, and you are loved!

Victoria Osteen - sermon - Have a Peacemaker's Heart. The apostle Paul says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18). There is a place in your spirit that says, “I am a peacemaker, and because I am a peacemaker, I can trust God to fight my battles for me and bring the right outcome.” We have the ability to draw the line in the sand and say, “I’m not going to step over this line into strife and division. I’m going to make peace.” Let’s be instruments of peace because there’s a blessing in the life of a peacemaker.
