Isaiah 9:6(KJV)
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Our anchored Scripture contains the prophecy of Isaiah about the birth of Jesus, who shall lead God’s people into a life of joy, peace, and a right relationship with God. The most extraordinary and mysterious event in the history of humanity was the birth of Jesus Christ. The Christmas season is a time set aside by Christians to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a birth that took place without the biological process of conception. It was the demonstration of the Almightiness and powerfulness of God to humanity. Jesus is the Child born, and a Son given to us. He is the Light of the world, and His Name is Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
The mission of Jesus is to bring peace to us. He is our Peace, and no wonder He is called the Prince of peace. We cannot have Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, and be in pieces or in crisis. The life of our Lord Jesus Christ on earth shows us that we can have peace amidst the storms of life. Luke 1:78-79 says, “Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us; to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” From this verse, we understand that Jesus holds the key to walking in God’s peace. That is, He guides us into the way that brings peace. He is the possessor of peace, and He has bequeathed this peace to us all. That peace transcends all understanding. In other words, it is above and beyond what we understand. In John 14:27, he said, “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.” It is a great thing to have the peace of God inside.
Beloved, allowing Jesus into your life will bring His wonders, counsel, love, mighty works, peace, and glory into your life. If Jesus is the Lord of your life, He will re-write the history of your life and give you the desired future. Appreciate God for the benefits of redemption and the power of the birth of Jesus. From today, the natural will give way to the spiritual, the physical for the sacred, and the turmoil or raging storm for peace. In your life, no matter what happens, be unperturbed; be full of confidence because the Champion of Peace is in your life. Jesus is our Prince of Peace! You can’t find peace anywhere else, no matter how you try, except in Christ Jesus. So, hand your cares and worries over to God because it is key to a world of peace that only Jesus can give. Anything putting your life under pressure means you have not yet handed that thing over to God. It is not possible to hand over your difficult situation to God and still be worrying about it. Remember, God is the only source of peace, and He has appointed His Son as the Prince of Peace. JESUS IS A SPECIAL GIFT TO YOU – Accept Him, and you shall live and be saved, reject Him and perish forever.
O Lord, let Your peace continually flow through my heart as I journey towards Your high calling in Jesus’ Name.
