It is written, Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. What a profound truth! A realization that eases the grip of life on man surrendering to God in all things. Partake in this feast as we consume food for the soul, nourishing the spirit in Breaking Bread. It is Monday, 19th September 2022.

THE PRINCE OF PEACE The word peace, shalom'', in the Hebrew language also means to have fullness'' in God. This kind of peace is not empty. It is the kind of peace that fills us with love and forgiveness and not with fear.
Jesus is introduced in Isaiah 9 verse 7 as the Prince of peace''. There is a definite confusion in the understanding of peace of our world today and the peace that Jesus brings. Jesus brings peace no matter the circumstances, good or bad.
The peace that Jesus brings does not come through a show of power or an iron fist approach like the world. No, the sign of the peace of Jesus is a helpless child born in a stable in Bethlehem and a powerless man on a cross. This peace is not through power and violence but through the pouring out of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and life.

We must be aware at all times that God is our source of peace in this broken world (read Romans 15:13). God gives His peace to us as believers as a gift.
When we experience God as our source of peace and joy and we are through faith committed to Him, we are on our way to a place where we will have peace of mind, heart and soul. We will then all sing together It is well with my soul''.
PRAYER Dear Lord, our souls are thirsty for your peace, the peace that brings love and forgiveness. Thank You that we can confess that You are our source of peace and that You alone can quench our thirst. Amen.

Ons moet ten alle tye daarvan bewus wees dat God ons bron van vrede is. Mag God, die bron van hoop, julle deur julle geloof met alle vreugde en vrede, sodat julle hoop al hoe sterker kan word deur die krag van die Heilige Gees'' (Romeine 15:13).
God skenk Sy vrede aan ons as gelowiges as n gawe. Hierdie vrede bring n verandering in ons gemoedstoestand waarin ons saam met die Psalmdigter Dawid kan se: Nou sal ek onbesorg gaan le en dadelik aan die slaap raak, want die Here, U alleen laat my veilig woon'' (Psalm3:9). Ons le somtyds in ons beddens en kwel ons oor ons daaglikse take, ons kinders se toekoms of ons finansiele omstandighede. Waarom nooi ons nie net God in ons binnekamer en vra Hom om ons Sy Goddelike vrede te gee. Hierdie vrede bring n goddelike kalmte oor ons lewe en gee ons die gemoedsrus dat alles met ons in God goed sal gaan. Vrede in ons gemoed is die stilte maar ook die wete dat ons in God se sorg is en daarom weet ons dat die geleenthede in die lewe groter is as die sorge.
Ons word vreesbevange en angstig en het slapelose nagte omdat ons vrede buite God gaan soek. Indien ons vrede in God geanker is en my gees in vreedsame harmonie met God is, sal ek ook in vreedsame harmonie met my medemens kan leef. Ons gemoedsrus sal total vernietig word indien ons in onvrede met God en ons medemens lewe.
God se vrede bied aan ons n nuwe produk, naamlik n oorgegewe lewe. Al wat ons moet doen is om n lewende geloof in God te he.
GEBED Ewige God en Vader ons siel is dors vir U vrede. Dankie dat ons kan getuig dat U die bron van ons vrede is end at U alleen ons dors kan les. Amen.
