We Need True Peace For Prosperity To Thrive by Interesting15: 6:45am On Nov 01, 2020
There are tons of unpleasant things currently happening in our society, and even beyond our own territory. Nevertheless, in the midst of the pain, sorrows and uncertainties, the Word of God keeps reminding us of God's pleasant thoughts toward us:

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."(Jeremiah 29:11)

So God is eager to feed us with true and pleasant peace, both as a society and individually. Truthfully, we can only get true peace when we turn to God and allow Him have His way.

This however requires true humility. God said:

"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."(II Chronicles 7:14)

For prosperity to thrive, we need peace. Unfortunately, doing things contrary to God's Will would only keep corrupting the land, and the repercussions will always be unpleasant.

Hence, we must repent of our evil ways and surrender to God completely. The first step is to embrace the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Just call upon the Name of Jesus anywhere you are, and you shall be saved. Then try to introduce others to Christ too.

To experience the peace that will usher in an enhanced level of prosperity, we must quit our wrongdoings and forsake anything sinful. Do away with immoralities, shedding of blood, alcoholism, injustice, corruption, etc. These things only give the devil access to plunder us - both as individuals and as a society.

Jesus Christ promised to give us true rest if we can come to Him. Imagine how beautiful our society would be if everyone is faithfully living according to the precept of God. This is a good reason we Christians should intensify our evangelistic efforts, so the Kingdom of God will be established in all facet and sector, and more people will come into the Light of Christ.

We need to seek for God and the kingdom of God and every other things shall come unto us.
There's peace and love in Jesus Christ. When you have God , you'll have everything you are looking for.

Re: We Need True Peace For Prosperity To Thrive by Nigeriabiafra80: 8:33am On Nov 01, 2020
Seems is only south west that have dogged leaders
That’s why they are strong in opposition
While south east governors are good in slavery
Arse licking and begging of Presidency as if power is given
Amotekun,they formed
Pass into law
Tell me why fulani hegemony will not feel threatened
While south east leaders cowards are crying begging for presidency they will never have
Is my turn is their only argument
May they suffer

Let us stop deceiving ourselves, this country has rotten beyond repair.

The only solution to this country is dissolution, when every region create their own country, there will be closed monitoring.

We are not one, and we are rule by our enemy who don't value a human life.

God knows what we need and everything happening was made to happen by God. What we need doesn't matter,only what God allows us to have matters. Thank you Lord for everything happening in Nigeria.

A China man once said - Peace is only achieved by leaving things the way they are.

PEACE OVER UNITY...
Re: We Need True Peace For Prosperity To Thrive by advocatejare(m): 8:44am On Nov 01, 2020
Only Jesus gives peace. Other people or religion that shouts peace gives the opposite of peace.

Anywhere Jesus is, peace reigns.

He stills the storm and restores peace to turbulent situations

Peace is only found in the person of Jesus. Someone said above that God doesn't promise peace to the world. What I believe is He promised His beloved peace. And the peace I'm referring to is that in the midst of challenges, trials, storms, you'll find rest in Him. That's the peace He wants us to know we have in Him.

Talk equal rights and justice first.
Re: We Need True Peace For Prosperity To Thrive by Dancos: 10:08am On Nov 01, 2020
Listen to Reverend Bob Marley of blessed memory. What we need in nigeria is Equal Right and Justice. Peace will follow. There can never be true peace without justice first. Peace without justice and equal right is a time bomb. Without religion there would be justice in the world.

They should stop preaching hatred for other religious adherents in their prayer places, this is the only panacea for peace.
Re: We Need True Peace For Prosperity To Thrive by VeeVeeMyLuv(m): 12:56pm On Nov 01, 2020
Peace attracts prosperity, all these negative utterances such as tribalism verbal attacks give rise to negative energies, which will be making people including leaders to be reasoning backward.

Due to the high affinity for all sorts of vices in our national life such as terrorism and kidnapping, investors no longer want to invest, the ones that are already here are planning to divest.

The news about the successful seal operation yesterday is all over the world, how we they see naija?
