Who Are Those Responsible For Peacemaking?

Hi everyone,

We all hear things like World Peace and how the world has tried to end conflict to bring peace, but conflict is on the increase, nation rising against nation, terrorism on the rise and so on. It is then clear to say that the manner of approach in solving this world problems is totally wrong. But there are those whose lives are to be peace makers. Matthew 5:9 says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” The Amplified Bible says the peacemakers are “makers and maintainers of peace.” The Message Bible puts Matthew 5:9 thus, “You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.” Going by this verse, the sons of God are peacemakers because peace making is a criterion which makes one become a son of God.

Romans 8:14 says, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” This would mean that being led by the Spirit of God includes being peacemakers which makes one become a son of God. But one thing you are to understand is that being a son of God is to be a peacemaker. One thing is that unlike the world’s way of solving problems, the sons of God are led by the Holy Spirit. This is very important because without the Holy Spirit’s leading you cannot be true peacemakers.

Sons of God are not just to occupy space here on earth without doing anything, are to bring peace to the world, because if there is no peace on earth, you know who to blame, so sons of God, do your job.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
