DCLM Sincere Milk 7 October 2026 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — A Peacemaker
Topic: A Peacemaker
Bible Reading: Matthew 5:9 (KJV)
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
KEY VERSE: “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9
Message
Peacemakers are those who help solve problems and P bring peace when others are fighting. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be peacemakers in our families, schools, and communities. Being a peacemaker means forgiving, solving problems, and showing love, even when it is hard to do so. It is about sharing the peace that Jesus gives us with others.
At school, Loveth and Sarah were arguing over a little misunderstanding, and some students made things worse by encouraging them to keep fighting, but Victoria, who loved Jesus saw what was happening and knew she had to help. She talked to both girls, helping them understand each other and reminding them that Jesus wants them to be friends. After the intervention, Loveth and Sarah made up, and peace returned to the class.
Like Victoria, we should all be peacemakers helping others find peace and love, just like Jesus did for us. This includes helping those who don’t know Jesus find peace with Him and experience His love and forgiveness.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, help me to be a peacemaker, spreading Your peace wherever I go.

James 3:18
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
