Topic: Faith’s Testimony
Text: Hebrew 9:11-28

Problems are forerunners of miracles. When you have a problem, if you are a true child of God, it means that a testimony is on the way. If there are no problems, how will you ever have a testimony? Psalm 4:8 says, “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.” Who can make you dwell in safety? Not the police nor night guards. It is only God. If He is the One who can make you dwell in safety and you have handed everything over to Him, I wonder why you should have to worry again. Psalm 29:11 says, “The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.” The Lord will bless His people with peace and not anxiety, worry or fear. If you are one of His people, you should have your share of that peace. The Prince of Peace says, “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). It is Christ who gives true lasting peace. If you have given your life to Jesus Christ, there is nothing to worry about anymore. One way by which the devil can get you to worry is by telling you that you were such a bad sinner and that not you cannot escape without some punishment. This is the lie of the devil. We are already justified by faith. Once you give your life to Jesus Christ, you are justified. Romans 5:1 says, “Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” What is the secret of our peace? Why do we have peace with God? It is not because we were good in the past. It is because we have surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ. All your sins were forgiven the day you gave your life to Jesus Christ. The Bible says: “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall partition between us” (Ephesians 2:13-14). Jesus Christ is our peace. No matter what you are going through today, you are assured of the peace of God. The peace, which Jesus gives, triumphs over the topsy-turvy conditions of life. My prayer for you is that the peace of God will fill your heart now and always.
