DCLM Higher Everyday 12 July 2025 — Peace From The Prince Of Peace

Topic: Peace From The Prince Of Peace

Text: John 14:25-31

25These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

26But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

29And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

30Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

31But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Key Verse: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).

Message

Indeed, Jesus is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9: 6). He is the One who removes all peace–disturbing factors, thereby securing peace for us. He has power over nature, and over mental, physical, spiritual, and psychological problems, as well as death. To enable us secure inner peace, he died for the sins of the whole world.

The song, “It is Well with My Soul,” written by Horatio Spafford, is about how life can be challenging, and unpredictable, but by faith and trust in the Prince of Peace we can overcome. Spafford lost all his four children at once in the sea with the wife only surviving to break the news. The Holy Spirit gave him inner peace and composed this song which has become a source of comfort to multitudes in the body of Christ.

We can get this peace by repentance and continual obedience to Jesus. If there is a storm in your life or family, call on Jesus who in the stormy sea declared, “Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Friend, have faith in Him.

Quote: Get this peace by repentance

Challenge: Obedience to the Prince of Peace gives inner peace.

Prayer for today: Oh Lord, help me to obey You, the Prince of Peace.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
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)
