    Peace: The Gift Of Peace Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 23, 2012
     | 28,516 views

    God's peace is relational, not circumstantial. It is active and not passive. The Lord actively dispenses peace to those who minds are stayed upon Him. So keep our focus on Him and keep on praying.

    John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” It is not the Lord’s will for us to be troubled and in fear. He wants to give us peace. Peace is what everyone needs. ...read more

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 5:13-16 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 9, 2025
     | 181 views

    The Word of God is not passive—it is a mighty sword forged in heaven, empowered by the Spirit, and effective on earth. It is both a weapon of warfare and a tool of healing. It has the power to build, break, defend, and discern.

    THE DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD: THE WORD OF GOD By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of ...read more

    In the book of Numbers (13th chapter) we’re told that Moses - after leading Israel out of captivity in Egypt - had finally brought the people to edge of the Promised Land. And before they go it, God tells Moses to send 12 spies into the promised land. So they select 12 men to slip into Canaan, ...read more
