 A PEACEMAKER  (Open Heavens daily for teenagers 2016)

Memorise: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:9

Please Read: 2^nd Corinthians 5:18-20, 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;

¹⁹ To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

²⁰ Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Bible in one year: Isaiah 65-66, Acts 13-1-25

MESSAGE!!!

When Adam and Eve fell into sin in the Garden of Eden, this brought enmity between the Creator and His human creator. The first man and woman decided to love what God hated (Genesis 3:6). It is unfortunate that this spiritual depravity has continued till date. Men tend to love the world more than their Creator as a result of the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. See 1^st John 2:14-15.

Having you been reconciled with your Lord and Maker? Do not forget that the peacemakers are blessed; they will enjoy the benefits associated with being a child of God. A peacemaker also tells others about the reconciliation offered by God to bring them out of sin. Tell your school mates and friends about Jesus’ love for them today.
