THURSDAY, 24TH JUNE, 2021. THEME: MY PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU. MEMORY VERSE: “ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7) BIBLE READING: John 14:27 (KJV) 27. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  MESSAGE: Nothing tangible can be achieved in a chaotic atmosphere, organisation, family or mind.  This is why peace is very important. There are factors that can guarantee peace in the life of an individual, particularly a child of God.  The first is genuine salvation. Sin brought about the troubles that man encountered right from the Garden of Eden. Proverbs 28:1 says: The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as lion. Thus, whoever desires peace must seek the Author of salvation, Jesus Christ.  We see this in our memory verse for today, as well ...

Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 18. And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad. 19. And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. MESSAGE: When we say God always remembers, we do not mean that He forgets things or people. ‘God remembers’ means that He has decided to do something.  Our Bible reading for today says God remembered Hannah.
