How do you know when
you lack the peace of God? What should you beware of if God’s peace is to
remain intact within you? The peace of the Lord is the checks and balance of a
glorious, fruitful and successful life. There are numerous signs or products of
the absence of this peace. This article lists the signs.
And in the
second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams,
wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him – Daniel 2:1
(KJV)
I am feeble and
sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light
of mine eyes, it also is gone from me - Psalm 38:8, 10 (KJV)
In the day shalt
thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to
flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and
of desperate sorrow– Isaiah 17:11 (KJV)
Peace is a state of
being calm and quiet: a state of living in friendship with somebody without
arguing or fighting- (Oxford advanced learner’s dictionary). It is also a state
of having hope, being at rest and absolute trust on God.
Therefore, it is
important that you are quick to identify the products of lack of peace of God.
This is because dealing with them promptly will prevent them from growing into
more destructive products. God wants you to be free of these manifestations in
your life.
Some of these
products are inward manifestations, and would have eating up the victim before
manifesting outwardly. That’s the reason why they must be identified early and
dealt with as fast as possible.
The products:
1.
Torments
– mental suffering is an evidence that the peace of the Lord is absent in
your life. God’s peace provides a soothing effect mentally.
2. Insecurity – Lack of confidence
in God’s ability to protect makes you insecure. But the peace of God releases
this confidence within you.
3. Sleepless nights – Sleep is always
far from a troubled mind.
4.
Absent-mindedness
– When you are troubled and you dwell in the cause of it, you tend to be
absent-minded. Read more...
