I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curses; therefore, choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.

Often times we clamour for peace. We prevail on ruling government to provide us with peace. Different tenures of government of the world have promised to provide us peace. Government has implemented many policies, legalising even things that can indirectly end human existence, gave consideration to many ideas; crazy ones inclusive, bringing them to existence, paying out free money; ransom inclusive, yet PEACE was not achieved.  

Personally, we have tried doing many things ranging from divorce, remarry, cutting-off people we felt we can't put up with, disowning our kids, homosexuality, seemingly securing our own "space", did some unimaginable things yet, we could not attain a state of peace. Surprisingly, neglecting ONE thing. Will discuss this later. 

What jeopardize our peace? Greed, envy, jealousy, selfishness, desires; illicit ones inclusive, fanaticism, segregation, hatred, and the likes. James 4 verse 1 states, " What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is not not this, that your passions are at war within you?" What are these passions? what we want at any point of time for ourselves, certain person or group of people, seemingly loved ones and the list goes on. All these could not give us peace rather a momentarily succour which wear out leaving us with internal turmoil hence, we repeat same things and, the circle continues.

Little actions in our private life translated to the world crisis we all are witnessing.  For peace to be in the world, there is need for inner peace within all man. Can someone give what they don't have? Certainly, NO. In the same way, can a man full with inner crisis give PEACE? I leave it to you.

Gospel of John 14 verse 27, Christ said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives ......". Christ offered peace that comes with inner and outer tranquillity rooted in Him not, the temporarily conditioned peace the world gives. To enjoy this peace, one should let Christ into their lives; acknowledge Him as a personal Lord and Saviour without reservation. Afterwards, allow the Holy Spirt to transform you. 

Coming to that one thing we neglect. We want peace but do not want to be peaceful. We neglect working on ourselves and attitudes to breed peace. How do we intend to achieve peace when we are full with resentment, self righteousness, murderous intents, violence, divisions, factions, anger, i will remain as i am mentality, etc (Fruits of the flesh - Galatians 5 verse 19). We circle ourselves with seemingly friends who could be friendly enemies and sycophants to clap and cheers us on to perpetuate that which that robs the world of peace. 

To bring about this desired peace, we need to let Christ and subsequently the Holy Spirit into our private lives. When we allow the Holy Spirit to transform through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, He will bear His fruits (patience, charity, gentleness, self control, joy PEACE, etc - Galatian 5 verse 22). He will bring the desire peace within us which naturally will translate to world peace.
