The Harvest of Peace

Luke 10:1-12:

"10 Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them out ahead of Him, two by two, into every city and place where He was about to go. 2 He was saying to them, “The harvest is abundant [for there are many who need to hear the good news about salvation], but the workers [those available to proclaim the message of salvation] are few. Therefore, [prayerfully] ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest. 3 Go your way; listen carefully: I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not carry a money belt, a provision bag, or [extra] sandals; and do not greet anyone along the way [who would delay you]. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace [that is, a blessing of well-being and prosperity, the favor of God] to this house.’ 6 And if anyone of peace is there [someone who is sweet-spirited and hospitable], your [blessing of] peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not move from house to house. 8 Whenever you go into a city and they welcome you, eat what is set before you; 9 and heal those in it who are sick [authenticating your message], and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whatever city you enter and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you [breaking all ties]; yet understand this, that the kingdom of God has come near [and you rejected it].’ 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable in that day [of judgment] for Sodom than for that city."

Praise God, Church Family of Faith!

Today we share a devotion on the harvest of peace.

Let us reflect on the message:

Christ Jesus sent His disciples to share the Gospel, emphasizing the importance of peace and unity. As we witness to others, we must remember that our actions reflect God's love. In a world filled with conflict, we are called to be peacemakers, fostering unity in our communities (Ephesians 4:3; Matthew 5:9). Spiritual growth is crucial; as we deepen our understanding of God's grace, we contribute to the collective maturity of the Christian community (2 Peter 3:18).

Before you dive 8n personal prayer, May you claim these scriptures to your life:

Ephesians 4:3: "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."

Philippians 1:9: "And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight."

Romans 12:12: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

Prayer:

Heavenly Father in Heaven,

Lord, help us to embody Your peace.

May we carry the message of hope and love to those around us. Remind us that even in adversity, we can be instruments of Your grace. "In you, Lord Christ Jesus, I have taken refuge" (Psalm 31:1). Amen.

You have been Church-Built and healed. Please voluntarily and sincerely give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love in all circumstances. This is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Pray, tithe, and sow healing seeds to Him, who can do immeasurably more than you ask or imagine. Act in faith and obedience, and be doers of the word, not just hearers.

Yours in Christ,

Healing in Unity: Restoring Our Hearts and Community"

Prayer Devotion for Saturday, September 7, 2024 by Apostle Jude Noah Wakibi.

Praise God, Christian Healing Church Ministry Family of Faith!

Today's devotion emphasizes the importance of coming together as a Church family of faith to seek healing, both individually and collectively, while highlighting the power of unity in Christ. Let us pray:

Heavenly Father,

On this blessed Saturday, September 7, 2024, we gather as the Christian Healing Church Ministry family, united in faith and love. We thank You for the gift of life and the community that supports us through every trial and triumph. As Your Word declares in Psalm 133:1, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!”

Lord, we seek Your healing touch today. We ask for Your grace to flow through our hearts and lives, bringing restoration to those who are weary, broken, or in pain. Your Word reminds us in Jeremiah 30:17, “For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord.” May Your Holy Spirit empower us to be vessels of Your love and healing, as we reach out to those in need within our congregation and beyond.

We pray for wisdom and discernment as we engage in prayer ministry, following the example of Jesus who healed the sick and comforted the afflicted. As stated in James 5:14-15, “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up.” Help us to approach each situation with compassion, understanding, and unwavering faith in Your power to heal.

As we minister to one another, let us remember that healing is not just physical but encompasses emotional and spiritual wholeness. Your Word assures us in 1 Peter 2:24, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds, you have been healed.” May we be instruments of Your peace, bringing hope and encouragement to all we encounter.

In the mighty name of Christ Jesus, our Lord and Healer, we have prayed. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

"The Unchanging Promise of God"

Numbers 23:19 (AMP Bible):

“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken and will He not make it good and fulfill it?"

Praise God, Beloved Family of Faith!

Today, I stand before you with a heart full of hope and a message that resonates deeply within the very core of our faith. As we gather in the presence of our Lord, let us turn our attention to the profound truth found in Numbers 23:19: “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken and will He not make it good and fulfill it?”

In a world filled with uncertainty, where promises are often broken and trust is frequently betrayed, we find solace in the unwavering nature of our God. He is not like us; He is not bound by the limitations of humanity. When He speaks, His words carry the weight of eternity. When He makes a promise, He fulfills it with absolute faithfulness. Let us understand this in 3 ways here:

1. The Nature of God’s Promises

Let us reflect on the nature of God’s promises. They are not mere words spoken in haste; they are declarations of His character. When God promises healing, He is not just offering a temporary fix; He is offering restoration to our very souls. When He promises peace, it is not a fleeting moment of calm, but a deep-seated assurance that transcends all understanding.

In your life, you may be facing challenges that seem insurmountable. You may be battling illness, grief, or despair. But I urge you to remember that God’s promises are true. He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). He has declared, “By His stripes, we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). These are not empty words; they are the foundation upon which we build our faith.

2. The Call to Trust

Now, my dear brothers and sisters, the question arises: Do we truly trust in these promises? Trusting God means surrendering our fears and doubts to Him. It means believing that He is capable of doing what He has said He will do. It requires us to step out in faith, even when the path ahead seems unclear.

In the book of Romans, we are reminded that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). Let us immerse ourselves in His Word, allowing it to transform our hearts and minds. Let us cling to His promises, for they are our anchor in the storm.

3. The Invitation to Relationship

As we reflect on the faithfulness of God, I want to extend a heartfelt invitation to each one of you. If you have not yet given your life to Christ, I urge you to consider the incredible love He has for you. He desires a personal relationship with you, one that is built on trust, faith, and love.

Christ Jesus came to this earth, not to condemn us, but to save us. He took upon Himself our sins, our burdens, and our pain. He offers us forgiveness and a new beginning. All we need to do is accept Him into our hearts and believe in His promises.

Now that you have understood the unchanging nature of God's promise, let us conclude with a Response of Faith.

Conclusion: A Response of Faith

As we close, I invite you to reflect on your own life. Are there areas where you need to trust God more? Are there promises you have yet to claim? And for those who have not yet accepted Christ, I encourage you to take that step of faith today.

Prayer

Let us pray together, asking the Holy Spirit to move in our hearts, to strengthen our faith, and to draw us closer to Him. May we leave this place renewed in our trust and filled with the hope that comes from knowing our God is faithful.

Heavenly Father,

As we gather in Your presence, we come with open hearts, yearning for Your divine touch. We invite the Holy Spirit to move powerfully within us, igniting a flame of faith that cannot be extinguished. May Your Spirit fill us with wisdom, guiding our thoughts and actions in alignment with Your will.

Lord, we ask that You strengthen our faith in times of uncertainty and doubt. Remind us that even in our struggles, Your love surrounds us, and Your promises are unbreakable. Help us to cast aside our fears and embrace the peace that comes from trusting in You.

As we leave this sacred space, may we be renewed and transformed. Let the hope that springs from our relationship with You overflow in our lives, inspiring those around us. May we become vessels of Your love and grace, sharing the light of Christ with everyone we encounter.

We thank You for Your unwavering faithfulness, for the countless blessings You bestow upon us, and for the assurance that You are always near. In moments of joy and in times of trial, may we always remember that we are never alone, for You walk beside us every step of the way.

In the mighty name of Christ Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
