PEACE INSIDE THE HEARTS EQUALS PEACE ALL AROUND!
PEACE
INSIDE THE HEARTS EQUALS PEACE ALL AROUND!
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his
children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many
colours. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all
his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. And
Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the
more. And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
This World, the World
of Adam we live in; has never experienced genuine Godly Peace since the
spilling of the first human blood when the jealous-driven Cain murdered his
brother Abel in cold blood! Peace is the absence of war: we’re told in this
weakest definition for Peace.
Israel or Jacob and his twelve sons is the
classical example of how the bitterness of the heart in the sons of men always
lead to murder. Israel by God’s design was destined to produce the Twelve Tribes
of Israel through his seed and Joseph was the youngest and the most loved by
his father, because he was born in the advanced years of Israel.
Joseph’s brothers
always hated him for everything he never had controlled over, like after his
father made him a coat of many colours. Israel loving Joseph more than his
other eleven sons pitied the young lad against the hate-filled hearts of his
brethren. As if this was not enough, God gave the young Joseph two stunning
dreams which resulted in his brothers taking a vow to kill the young lad one
day.
Joseph’s dreams asserted by interpretation
that one day, he will arise above his eleven brothers who hated his guts. Joseph
loved his brothers without pretense, but his brethren were blinded by hatred and
never got to feel his unconditional love. Joseph was the man of Peace as his entire
life became the very Testament of Peace. Sometimes, your enemies are not
necessarily the enemies of God!
Peace is mentioned
over three hundred times in the Old Testament and well above one hundred times in
the New. Jesus preached a lot about Peace since Jerusalem had been reeling
under Romans Occupation for decades: the idea of the Coming Messiah to most
Jews meant Liberation from the Roman Oppression. But Jesus!
Suppose ye that I am come to give Peace on Earth?
I tell you, Nay, but rather division. I am not here for Politics, Jesus shot
back to the chagrin of the political charged Jews. To say they were
disappointed with the said Messiah as was confirmed and declared by John the
Baptist, is the understatement!
Peace Inside The
Hearts of Men Equals Peace All Around: this World is in the mess of incessant
wars all around because we have no Peace in our hearts. Forget the lie that man
is the victim of his own environment, man was not created for the environment
but environment for man.
Our World is currently sitting on top of
some Twenty-Seven Live Conflicts: Wars which could have been easily avoided only
if these warmongers had Peace Inside their hearts! Evil warmongers like
Vladimir Putin care less about World Peace even in the midst of a Global
Pandemic!
Thousands of people
have been misplaced and millions more find themselves country-less due to these
endless wars corroding the corridors of our World. Global Bodies have been
rendered useless since the last Two World Wars and all the money in this God-forsaken
World: cannot buy Peace.
Peace is the foundation of the heart and flows
through our blood streams to effect real environment filled with all calmliness
money cannot buy. It begins with each individual to imagine Peace as a Product
of one’s heart and unconditional contribution to the sobriety of our World!
War is drunkenness,
confusion of the highest disorder resulting in unimaginable blood spill and wasted
human capital!
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink,
but Righteousness, and Peace, and Joy in the Holy Ghost. Righteousness and Joy are
anchored in Peace: without Peace it's not even possible to love one another.
The Right for every
Human Being to claim his Place Under The Sun, is God-ordained. Racism, greed for
more power and control has left this World agonizing under Twenty-Seven Wars, all
going off at the same time and every day!
Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth Peace,
Good Will toward men!! The Angelic Choristers sang for the Shepherds announcing
the Birth of Christ, one fine evening in the humble Town of Bethlehem where our
Saviour was born!
Jesus is the Prince
of Peace and everyone who believes in Him must bear the Fruits of Peace in his
heart before you can yep around about Peace everywhere. Peace In The Hearts Of Men
Is Peace All Around! Peace Today, Now or Never! Give Peace A Chance! cried John
Lennon and Yoko Ono!
