*AN ANSWER OF PEACE*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  02 February 2024*


SCRIPTURE: I will hear what God the LORD will speak: For he will speak Peace unto his People, and to his Saints: But let them not turn again to folly - *Psalm 85:8*


*God will always give an answer of Peace to His Children.*


*What is an answer of Peace?*


There are two key words to define:


*(1)* Answer 


• It is a response to a Question, Statement or a situation - *1 Samuel 30:8*


*(2)* Peace


•  It is a state of Tranquility, Quietness, Rest - *John 14:27*


• It is Freedom from inner troubles, worries, anxieties - *John 14:27, Mark 4:35-41*


• It is  Freedom from fear - *John 14:27; Acts 12:5-11*


*Therefore, an Answer of Peace is a response that gives you rest and frees you from troubles, worries, anxieties and fears.*


*In Mark 4:35-41,* *The Disciples were facing the following Challenges:*


*(1)* Life threatening Challenges.


*(2)* Boat sinking Challenges - This connotes  Career, Business, or Academic Challenges.

 

*(3)* Emotional Challenges.

 

*(4)* Marital Challenges.

 

*(5)* Destiny threatening Challenges. 


*God's Plan for them can withstand any serious threats.*


*Jesus gave an Answer of Peace to each of the aforementioned Challenges - He responded "Peace be Still".*


The Bible says, there was a Great Calm. 


*Prayer:*

Father, Please in all my Challenges let me receive an Answer of Peace in Jesus Christ Name.
