At today’s Interactive Midweek Service, Pastor Colins Nwosu continued in the Real Peace series with the message The Gift of Peace. Drawing from John 14:27, he reminded us that peace is not something we manufacture, it is a divine gift from Christ Himself. Unlike the fragile and fleeting peace the world offers, this peace is enduring, sustaining, and unshakable even in life’s storms.
Pastor Colins highlighted from Galatians 5:22 that peace is also a fruit of the Spirit, cultivated in believers who walk closely with God. Looking at Matthew 8:23–27, he showed how Jesus demonstrated His authority over the winds and waves, proving that real peace is not the absence of trouble but God’s presence and power in the midst of it. He also reminded us from Matthew 5:9 that peacemakers are called the children of God, underscoring the responsibility to carry this gift into our relationships and environments.
He closed with Matthew Henry’s timeless quote: *“Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth,”* reminding us that real peace flows only from God’s truth. This teaching reminded us that peace is not passive; it is active, powerful, and transformative. It is God’s gift to His children, designed to keep us steady, joyful, and victorious in all circumstances.
