October 2022 Thanksgiving Service
Topic: Perfect Peace in the Land
Text: 2 Chronicles 7: 13-14
• If there’s trouble in the land, the fault belongs to Christians.
If we do our duty, God will heal our land.
What is peace?
Peace is the:
• absence of war. 2 Samuel 10: 1-19
• absence of storms. Mark 4: 35-41
To understand the meaning of perfect peace, we need to understand the meaning of a truce.
• A truce means the battle is not over, but there’s peace for a while.
• Perfect peace means permanent peace. 1 Kings 4: 21-25
• It is possible for a nation to be at war but someone in the nation is at peace.
Storms are in categories:
° Physical storm. Mark 5: 25-34
° Financial storm. 2 Kings 4: 1-7
° Marital storm. 1 Samuel 1: 1-20, Matthew 15: 21-28
° Mental storm. Daniel 4: 1-34
• A whole nation can be in a storm.
- Goliath terrorised a whole nation for 40 days. 1 Samuel 17: 1-53
• We should spend more time praying for our rulers.
2 Chronicles 7: 14, 1 Timothy 2: 1-2
Why?
It’s easier to criticise them but there are battles only God can win for them.
Proverbs 29:2, 21:1;
2 Kings 24: 1-15
• Why are we suffering?
Because we haven’t prayed.
We say the wicked are in authority.
Why can’t we pray for the salvation of these ones?
• If our leaders make mistakes, who will suffer?
If you love yourself, pray for our leaders!
• You can have peace in the middle of a storm. Psalm 23:4
• It doesn’t matter the storm that may be in a nation, just make sure Jesus is with you, and you’ll enjoy peace in the middle of the storm.
Isaiah 43:2
• Sooner or later, a storm will come.
It is a matter of when not if.
• Even if you don’t experience the normal storms of life, it’ll be time to face death one day.
But if the Lord is with you, you’ll have nothing to fear
Salvation Call
You can invite Jesus into your life, and enjoy His perfect peace no matter the storm.
If you haven’t given your life to Jesus or have backslidden, tell Him you surrender to Him, and ask Him to save your soul.
Prayer Point:
Prince of Peace, send peace into my life.
