3 Ways to Find Peace in Christ

Scripture: Colossians 3:15

“And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.” (Colossians 3:15)

Jesus Christ is the source of our peace. He is the fountain of life.

As believers, our relationship with him allows us to have access to this peace through Soak, Sow, and Flow, a process that is a basic principle in Kingdom of God.

Paul shows us how this can be done:

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him” (Colossians 3:16–17).

These verses encompass all of the steps in the SOAK, SOW, and FLOW principle.

First, the Word of God needs to be filling our lives. His Word gives life to us as we store it in our hearts by memorizing and meditating on it.

Second, we sow by reciting, praying, or singing in our hearts to the Spirit of God. Then the Spirit imparts his life to us.

Third, we flow with the Spirit by obeying what God wants us to do. We do all of this with a thankful heart. Gratitude is important in the eyes of God.

The next time you face a problem, focus on the person of Jesus Christ, instead of the problem, and follow the above steps with the Word of God you already have stored in your heart. Then you can make the discovery that the Word of God is truly living and powerful.

Experiencing peace is a choice for believers. If we look to Christ and trust in him, we can have peace. If we trust in self and focus on the problem, we will possibly experience fear, depression, and frustration.

Today, ask yourself:

Am I regularly storing the Word of God in my heart so I can sow to the Spirit of Christ?

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
