The beauty in listening to Gods word taught by God's servant can not be measured, daily these words come to correct and fix things in ourlives that probably went wrong, my pastor told us in our bibke study that the word of God comes to do one of or four of all these; To Encourage, to Reprove, correct and to convict men of Righteousness, judgement, etc....
God's word coming from his servant Bro Eli Soriano has just confirmed what have known for long, even JESUS told us that in john 16:13
These Things i have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace, in the world ye will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, i have overcome the world
If you had pay close attention to this teaching and relate that with your reality and all that is happening around you, you will know how deep truth lies in Gods word, so nothing is ever new, God knows it all, so he assures us in his word John 16:13, but there is an assurance, because Jesus Christ overcame the world we will too.
What you find in the world is Tribulation, chaos, wickedness, crimes, destruction of lives and property, evil, hatred, malice, covetousness, hatred, theft disobedience to parent, all of these is wrapped up in what is written in 1John 2:15-16.
Love not the world nor the things that are in the world, If any man loves the world, the love of the father is nit in him, For all that is in the world, lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, the pride of life is not of the father but of the world
God's servant point out clearly that there is no peace in the world, or rather the the world's definition of peace is totally different, you see people derive joy from destroying others, show of wickedness, theft, destroying lives and property, causing havoc these is peace to the world but not ours.
Because we live in these world we will likely encounter all these too, but JESUS told us that we will experience them, but in him we will have peace, so great peace that the world cannot understand...
And the peace of God which passeth all understanding will guide your hearts and minds in christ Jesus Phillipians 4:7
Peace that surpasses all understanding is a phrase that represent a deep sense of calmness and tranquillity even in difficult times, yes we will have problems and issues in life that seems overwhelming, Jesus has assured us that we can deal with them calmly, remember when JESUS was in the boat with his disciples and storm rage against them they were so troubled even when JESUS was with them, that is same with us we can respond to all that is calmly knowing fully well that JESUS is with us, so we need not be disturbed.
