How to have the peace of God 
Jude 1 Kullie Mawolo
[vs: 2] Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Sin brings fear of God's judgement, but when repent of our sins and revieve Jesus into our hearts we receive pardon for our sins through the mercy of God and are assured in our hearts that we are his children, his peace fills our hearts, the peace refers in this verse is the inner calmness in our soul that comes as a result of our reconciliation with God . there is the presence of God and a settled assurance in our hearts that drives away fear of his judgement when we truly become his children. When we do his will we have confidence with him because our lives pleases him and his anger is turned away from us, it is the assurance that we belongs to God that brings  peace to our hearts . Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 5:1

Matthew 19:27-30

Jesus has just made it clear that following Him has a cost up to and including a believer's life. The rich young ruler has dejectedly walked away after being told that the one thing he lacked to obtain eternal life was apparently the one thing he wasn't willing to give up. His wealth.

Think about it. Sam Walton was one of the wealthiest men in history, Truett Cathy, Jackie O'Nassis, Queen Elizabeth all were extremely wealthy. All had comforts in life that now mean nothing. All of them take their place behind beggars and those who were believers in extreme poverty. Jesus makes the point that the rich seem to believe their wealth gives them extra privilege or consideration at judgement because there's more they have to surrender.

And again Peter makes sure to say the entirely wrong thing. So he looks around seeing the rich man sadly leaving Jesus, perhaps because he had much he could afford that he refused to surrender. So Peter says, Lord, What's in it for us?

The ruler likely had houses, funds he would not run out of. So Peter considers what he's left for Jesus. He left his home, his career, and he's been following Jesus for a few years, now. And he wants to know what his reward is for doing so.

Jesus has already informed them on more than one occasion that they would follow Him in death. And each one died a martyrs death, executed by government or religious leaders beginning with James, brother of John and ending with John, James’ brother. These brother's deaths formed the bookends of apostles’ deaths with James being first and John the last.

Jesus says yes, you will all be awarded, but it comes at a cost. The cost is going to be the terrible suffering they would experience prior to death. Not that their suffering earned them anything, the way the rich believed their wealth earned them something. But that their allegiance with Jesus and relationship with Him gave them eternal life.

In particular, Jesus promises the apostles specifically that they will be on thrones judging Israel. Perhaps this is meant as a small mercy for the apostles whose last living moments will be being judged by those will end up ‘judged’ by them. Not that the apostles will get input on the eternal judgment of these individuals but that they will judge Israel as a whole including these Jewish leaders who are currently burning in torment awaiting eternity.
This really should be the perspective we hold to. The rich young ruler, do you think he regrets his choice now? After 2,000 some odd years of suffering where time has no meaning and no end? How important do you think he considers his summer home now?

His retirement? His first century equivalent to a Bentley? How about the leaders who knew the Scriptures pointed to Jesus but didn't want to give up their power or position. But these leaders to whom the benefits of eternal life were promised if they remained faithful to God.

These Jews were considered first because the promises were made to them. But they, they will be last. And those who were considered last, the Gentiles, pagans, all who responded to Jesus would take the place of those who had been considered first.

The temporal life fortunes in eternity are oftentimes flipped. The temporal riches of this life lure many believers over to a side that appears successful because financial gains are made, but in actuality is abject failure. No wealth we gain is worth what is lost if we don't have Jesus.

So those health and wealth preachers, the ones insisting that poverty is a sign of disfavor with God? Yeah, they will be within sight of the rich young ruler forever reconsidering their life choices and forever incapable of changing them. We don't get the chance to change our minds after death. Our fates are locked, so what are we waiting for? What's in it for us? Only Everything.


[27] Then Peter responded and said to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?” [28] And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [29] And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms on account of My name, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life. [30] But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.

God's mercy is louder than judgement #jesusislord

Return to God and be Uplifted!
Repentance brings a change of attitude concerning God. The sinner naturally vilifies God. Even when he speaks of His love, he has no conception of God’s justice and wrath. True repentance brings a sense of the Holy God who cannot look upon sin. It impacts a change of mind concerning sin itself upon a person.
The unrepentant delight in sin. A child of God may be tempted to sin and even fall into sin, but his bosom aches when he does so. A true child of God who has repented cannot enjoy sin and continuously longs for deliverance. Before every child of God, there is a vision both of what he is and what he ought to be. He cries with the poet; “O that a man might arise in me that I might ease to be.”
Repentance gives the sinners a change of mind concerning him. Before our salvation, we all had a good opinion of ourselves. Like the Pharisees, we often thanked God that, “we were not as other men, extortionist, unjust, adulterers, or even as the publican" (Luke 18:11). But, every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted (Verse 14). Where there is true repentance, though, men often despair of themselves, and like the publication, their cry is, “God be merciful to me a sinner”. They echo Paul’s exasperated plea: “O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death" (Romans 7:24). For Christ came not to call the righteousness, but sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32).
Repentance affects the motions and will, and also creates a change of feeling. We must beware here lest we are deceived. The old time evangelist who specialized in death-bed stories often created mere human emotion filling the mourners' bench with weeping people. These mourners often had a remorse for their evil doings, deeply regretting they had not been better men and women when they were told about meeting their “mother” in heaven. But remorse in not repentance, though I must say remorse is a very common experience for those who commit sin. Someone has called remorse the “echo of lost virtue”.
Remorse is the attitude of mind and heart for some evil done. Repentance, however, goes deeper. Repentance creates a sorrow for what we are rather that remorse for what we have done. Therefore says the Hebrews writer, “Leaving the principles of the doctrines of Christ (Messiah), let us go into perfection by not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works” (Hebrews 6:1).
Christian repentance is not merely the pangs of an injured conscience. Christian repentance follows the Holy Spirit’s convicting work deep within our soul (John 16:7 and 8). It lays strong hold upon the human will and brings the sinners into conformity with the will of God. It is heeding God’s call from a life of destruction (Mark 1:15). Repentance does not mean merely shedding tears over our wrong doings. It ends in faith in Christ, the Saviour. The Church must preach and teach until these conditions are obtained in the ministries. Then our revival shall have come. For this is the will of God for all mankind (Acts 17:30).
Today what the Church and the continents at large need is repentance. The call of the pulpit to the pew must be repentance. And that of the crusades to the nations must similarly be repentance, and this must eventuate in confession of sins. The scripture, therefore, tells us: “Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the Lord your God” (Jeremiah3:13).That will move our God to come down and heal our many wounds. We are reminded that, “The Lord’s hands is not shortened, that it cannot save neither is His ear heavy that it cannot hear, but your iniquity have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear” (Isaiah59:1 and 2). He that covers his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confess and forsake them shall have mercy (Proverbs 28:13). “For as many as the Lord loves, He rebukes and chastens; be zealous therefore and repent!” (Revelation 3:19).
The repentance must not only be among the lowly citizens but must spring from the governors trickling to the governed. “Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man which built his house upon a rock. And everyone that hears these sayings of mine and does them not shall be likened to a foolish man which built his house upon the sand,” declares the Lord Jesus Christ (Mathew 7:24 and 26).
Almighty God is calling to the people today as He did to former Israel that, “Therefore also now, says the Lord, Turn even to me with all your heart and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning. And rend your heart and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God. For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repent Him of the evil. Who knows if He will return and leave a blessing behind Him, even a meat offering and drink offering unto the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly; gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bride-groom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord weep between the porch and the altar and let them say: Spare your people O Lord and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them; wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? Then the Lord will be so jealous for His land and pity His people. Yes the Lord will answer and say unto His people, Behold I will send you corn, and wine and oil, and you shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen but I will remove far off from you northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face towards the east sea and his hinder part towards the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up and his savor shall come up because he has done great things. Fear not O land; be glad and rejoice; for the Lord will do great things. And I will restore to you the years that locusts has eaten, the cankerworm and the caterpillar and the palmerworm my great army which I sent among you. And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that has dealt wondrously with you, and my people shall never be ashamed" (Joel 2:12-21: 25 and 26).
The Lord’s northern army is the destruction God brings upon a people as a result of their wickedness. Indeed righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 13:34). For the Lord God of Israel, the Creator of the heavens and the earth loves righteousness and judgement (Psalm 33:5). He stresses that judgement is his strange work (Isaiah 28:21). The reason being that when his judgements are on the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness (Isaiah 26:9). When a nation leaves wickedness and turns to the Lord, such a people receive pardon and sure favour from the Lord God Almighty. The psalmist thus wrote: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance” (Psalms 33:12).
The Lord delights in the humility of a people. This makes Him hear our plea and smile back at us with a pardon. And this humility must start in His sanctuary. He says: “If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14). Therefore every Christian by and far, let us rally in repentance for the healing of our lands. For repentance turns away God’s wrath.
Nineveh found itself in a similar situation many African nations are in today. Plagued with wickedness in diverse places and faced with imminent judgment, the Almighty God used Jonah to deliver a message of judgment to the people of Nineveh: “Surely the Lord God will do nothing but He reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). Unlike most of our folks who hear and turn the head the other way, the Ninevehs believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest-including the king-to the least of them. And God saw their works that they turned from their evil way, and God repented them of the evil that he had said He would bring upon them, and He did it not (Jonah 3).
Repentance touches the core of God’s heart. Humble yourself and return to the Lord your Creator. Repentance automatically brings healing. The Lord says, “Wash you, and make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes, cease to do evil. Learn to do well, seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, and judge the fatherless plead for the widow. Come now and let us reason together; though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow: though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1:16-19).
The Living God is the healer of nations. The psalmist has declared of Him: “God be merciful to us, and cause His face to shine upon us. That your way may be known upon the earth, your saving health among all nations” (Psalm 67:1 and 2). Perhaps this ought to be the prayer on everyone’s lips now.
Stay awake O Christian in the truth!
The good LORD has always extended this gracious invitation to man over the millennia. And, therefore, if it is your desire to know Him as He truly is - the Lord of lords and King of kings, the Savior, and Redeemer of mankind, then pray this prayer of repentance unto salvation: “Lord Jesus Christ, I come to you with all the sins I have committed and I beg you to forgive me. I confess that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. Please cleanse my body, soul, and spirit with your precious blood. I need your help Lord, and I ask you to come and live in my heart. I want to serve you, obey your commands and do what is right. I want to live for you every day, please lead and guide me by your Spirit into righteousness. Thank you, O Lord for hearing and answering my prayer. Amen!”
Welcome now to this grand and mighty army of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on earth. Read the Bible often, and join a congregation near you where Christ Jesus is preached and the Almighty Godhead: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, is worshiped in Spirit and in Truth for your own spiritual growth and strength.
The Almighty God make you the apple of His eyes as I solemnly declare of Him: “After He has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you - for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye - I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them” (Zachariah 2:8). The peace and love of Christ Jesus the Lord be with you now and forever.

ATTENTION, YOU NATIONS ALL.. THE SON, SPEAKING TO SHERDERDS, & SHEEP.. through Red 7, vision in sky after vanished.

Door of grace is open! Will you Repent & obey to be pure.
Luke 13:3-5, rom6:16.

SERMON: "DO NOT GROW WEARY - HOLD FAST TO THE TRUTH"
Text: Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

1. THE WARNING TO SHEPHERDS AND THE CHURCH IN THE LAST AGE
Jeremiah 23:1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!”
Ezekiel 34:2 “Woe to shepherds of Israel who feed themselves!”

In this last age, truth is under attack.
Leaders, pastors, elders — you have a choice:
Either you are ASKED to this truth John 17:17 “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth”
Or you CHOICE EVIL DOING 2 Thess 2:10-12 “they refused to love the truth”

The church is not called to entertain, but to “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season” 2 Tim 4:2

If we don’t keep this truth steadfast, how will we have God’s reward?
Revelation 22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.”
2 John 1:8 “Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.”

2. WHY WE GET WEARY
Galatians 6:9 — “let us not grow weary”
Why? Because:
World’s hardship John 16:33 “In the world you will have tribulation”
Persecution for godliness 2 Timothy 3:12 “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”
Spiritual warfare Eph 6:12

Look at the 144,000 in Revelation 14:1-5 — “These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes... No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.”
They were marked, tested, and did not defile themselves. That’s the standard for the last age.

3. WE DON’T STRIVE IN OUR EFFORT - WE STRIVE BY HIS GRACE
We cannot live pure by effort. It’s by Christ’s grace of righteousness given to us.
Titus 2:11-12 “For the grace of God has appeared... training us to renounce ungodliness”
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith.”

How did He give it?
THE ONLY SIGN — THE DEATH, BURIAL, RESURRECTION:

Matthew 12:40 “For just as Jonah was three days and three nights... so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
Luke 24:39 “See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me” — He rose bodily!
1 Cor 15:3-4 “Christ died for our sins... was buried... was raised on the third day”

That same sign is for this evil generation.

4. THE WITNESS: RED7 IN THE SKY
As a witness of Jesus, appointed by Jesus. Acts 26:16, I testify: to Red 7 vision the son gave me to share you last age After the vision it vanished, I saw RED7 = in the sky. And also= sacrifice of Jesus, sin , &judgement.
The message is clear: “Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” Heb 9:22.
RED7 = THE BLOOD OF JESUS. That’s our only hope, our only righteousness, our only power to live pure. Hallelujah!

And how do we stay pure?

1 Timothy 4:5 “for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.”
Ephesians 5:26-27 “that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle”

PRAYER + WORD = PURITY BEFORE GOD

5. THE CALL: DON’T GIVE UP
Shepherds, don’t feed yourself. Feed the sheep John 21:17
Church, don’t choose evil because it’s easier. Choose truth.
Saints, you may be tired. But “in due season we will reap” Gal 6:9

Hold fast. RED7 cleanses you. And the son showed me Green 7, The Spirit GREEN7 empowers you. And skeleton vision reminder all who dead bcos lack Christ. Christ promise life in thy spiritual dryness and won't be dead as skeleton vision. john14:6.

Revelation 3:11 “Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.”

CLOSING PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, wash us by Your Blood

praise Jesus:
brethren heb1:1-2 is speaking to this last age today. the son has shown me 3 visions after vanished. eg Red 7 in the sky, Green 7 on the wall, and skeleton vision. Joel 2:28, but mind you they are of divine warning, mercy, judgement unto living ones in this last age.

scripture torch at no. 7 as sanctified no of God. and as no of spiritual perfection & completion. Gen2:1-3,
and RED COLOR in it= blood of Jesus, sacrifice of Jesus, sin, spiritual warfare well no.7 stands as warning. seen 7days floods warning in Noah's time.

therefore: Red 7 vision= call to repentance, sinners, 7 churches, and spiritual awakening, renewal, revival, through repenting & blood of Jesus purify you. 1john1:7, Luke 13:3-5,

and Christ appointed me to testify to those visions that the son has shown me by sharing them to people of Last age. so that they repent and obey the word and become right before God. acts26:16.

Friday the 14th of August 2026 Manna ::: The Great White Throne Judgement !!! The 5 Books that will be Opened for Judgement ::: https://trulightdailymanna.co.za/14-august-2026

Revelation 3:3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. 

Today’s verse is one that should make us pause and consider our lives and how we are living them. It is a warning from Jesus to a spiritually complacent church - a church that looks right on the outside but is spiritually dead on the inside. He commands them to remember the Gospel they heard in the beginning and to remember what they felt, what they learned, and to seek that again in repentance. And not doing so will bring consequences.

The church that was being warned in today’s verse is in the city of Sardish. It was a wealthy trade center that was secure and boasted proudly of their city. But they were prone to sudden attacks that came when they grew overconfident and apathetic. It is this historical overview that Jesus used to mirror the spiritual blindness of the church there. 

What about you? How is your heart? Are you growing apathetic in your spiritual walk? Are you overconfident in your beliefs that you are secure and living in God’s will? It is important that we pause and evaluate our hearts periodically and seek God’s guidance and direction anew.

Do you remember the excitement you felt when you first became a believer? The joy and peace that filled your heart, the eagerness to know more, the desire to learn and grow… It is easy for us to lose sight of that, to grow complacent and take grace for granted. And the more complacent we grow, the harder it is to find that excitement again. 

But it is not impossible.

And Jesus warns us that we need to repent when we find ourselves in a state of spiritual decline and stagnation and to seek Him once again, to turn to the Gospel that brought us joy in the beginning. We must make the choice to turn from spiritual apathy and to align ourselves with God once again. 

Failing to repent and turn back to God can bring consequences. Jesus warned the church of Sardis that He would come like a thief in the night. That is not a reference to His second coming, of His return to earth or the Rapture, though the wording is similar to other passages found in Scripture. Instead, it is a warning that He will come swiftly and unexpectedly to discipline the spiritually sleeping believers. Judgement and discipline come when we least expect it, so it is better to get right with Him now and change those patterns in our lives. 

This verse serves as a wake-up call to anyone who has grown overconfident and overly comfortable. It is time to evaluate our internal reality and our heart posture and determine if it is in the right place. Just because we look good on the outside doesn’t mean we are right on the inside. External reputations and appearances don’t matter when it comes to obedience and surrender. Instead, it is our heart that matters and we need to give it to Him fresh and new each day, choosing to align our lives with His will and not our own. 

#TEENS4JESUS #devotion #dailydevotional #christianteens #DailyBibleVerse

Whenever I remember the marriage of the prophet Hosea and Gomer, I am reminded of just how radical God’s love truly is and how precious humanity is to Him. Who are we, after all? Mortals whom He created in His own image!

When we fell in Eden, He came to us in the flesh and gave Himself on the cross, so that He might reconcile us to Himself and restore us to fellowship with Him. We prostitute ourselves through all manner of sin, yet He looks upon us through the blood of Jesus Christ, extends mercy to us, and restores us to Himself.

If His love is this profound, just imagine how fearful His judgement must be for those who ultimately die in their sins. The same God whose mercy relentlessly calls us back to Himself is also the righteous Judge who will judge sin.

His love is extreme. His mercy is immeasurable. But His judgement is equally certain.

SWIFT AGAINST THE TIDE.

We are living in a season where God's desire has been overlooked and people have put their own desires on the front line. They don't care who will suffer or what the generations behind will follow.
The Book of ‭Philippians 3:19 NIV ... describes such as this...Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.

This is very clear on every generation. Now many of them are embedded in our systems of life, families, workplaces , Churches and all-over.
They seem like we are on the same tide but in reality the Book of Philippians discuss them deeply which serves as a clear definition of their hearts. Their one satisfaction, their own Glory and their achievements.
Many are clothed in different genders , titles , activities and attributes which the heart doesn't recollect or bear witness.
We have come to a season where this had gone too far that the damage is unbearable. God has waited for those called to stand but the delay is heavy.
Well when such times comes, God summons one who are ready to appear without delay in the battlefield.
What we need to know is that Mercy cry is a very deep private thing that many women have carried deep within their hearts, in little whispers when their eyes see God's creation. And this time when tears dry up and fades away this means the battlefields has been prepared. This comes after the inner desire to claim by force every life which has been entrusted to them.
Only God can summon the heart of a woman to the battlefield.
The time is now because only a woman can move against the tide . Yes these tides are merciless and they are leaving traces everywhere, which only can be identified by a woman.

But God is the one who owns it all. And because of this the summoning has began and it's already here. Remember the hand that quietly wept for mercy can swiftly ask for judgement.
It's is the Lord who grants them all and to the Him who is positioned to the doing of the Father's at that time.
God overlooks our ignorance but He demands everyone to repent..
The season of moving against the tides to save her offspring is at hand. Because this is not her agenda but God's agenda. Her move is God's move. Indeed its the Lord who teaches our hands for war. When such times comes everyone must bear their own burdens and sins.
