Peace of Mind

Peace of mind By Leona Nwokeji

Is there ever a time that peace is never sought after, longed for and craved? As long as one lives, breaths, thinks and does this thing called life, PEACE will always be a necessity! To some, it’s a verb to some just a lovely word to the BODY of Christ it’s encapsulated the nature of GOD in the “son of man” J-E-S-U-S. Isn’t our truth reassured in Ephesians 2:14-22? To be honest it’s one thing to read this truth and walk in it.

Imagine a real live storm coming your way in 30seconds yet, JESUS is right in front of you guarding and protecting you from being swept away by the storm. PEACE himself stands between you and the storm. As the storm approaches in a mad rush, in that split second ……what would you do in that moment? what would go through your mind? what would happen to you in that moment? What would the outcome be? Would your eyes be on PEACE himself or the ferocious storm approaching? One of Jesus’s disciples Peter respond’s in this way Matthew 14:28-32. Could you say what your response would be? Isn’t it common knowledge that storms come and they pass by but what would it leave in it’s wake? Would your eyes still be locked on PEACE?

Through the ages of different ERAS, for generations that have lived before us, there’s never been a time in the face of such darkness, spiritual and natural chaos that word called PEACE has been craved by all mankind whether it’s admitted or not. It takes humility, trust, rest and surrender to embrace PEACE.

So, what does peace of mind mean?

A feeling of being safe or protected installing a security system in your home will give greater peace of mind. Merrian Webster.

Synonyms being serenity, tranquility of mind, composure, inner peace, calm, peacefulness.

I feel peace of mind as goes by my Truth (the ultimate Word of God) is being still in the face of adversity, is letting your heart not be troubled whilst riding a raging storm; is allowing your mind to rest in Christ; is

knowing He’s with you every step of the way and isn’t about to drop your hand. My imaginative mind would have me walking on a cloud that is weightless yet comforting and enveloping my very being from within.

I had an incident happen to me through a grave mistake I had made whilst I was working for a medical organization back in 2010 that erupted into a storm overnight. My storm took me before the CEO of the company facing a disciplinary action through my peace was shaken, I needed the ground to open up all at once. I remember running home to get under my covers were I just wanted to be in the arms of My Saviour. No one absolutely no one could stop the disciplinary hearing which I had to go through nevertheless. I kept hearing whispers ‘trust me’ when my peace was shaken and droplets of fear would rob my mind of His peace in the midst of the storm. I had to approach this storm, go through and came out being held by my PEACE (The Holy Spirit). After that incident, worse case scenario did not occur only because THE ONE WHO CALMED THE STORM stepped in without a shadow of a doubt! I didn’t realize until then the very nature of God as a DELIVER was what I discovered and held unto that revelation. Needless to say, after the storm, I still had moments when my peace of mind was threatened as the outcome of the disciplinary hearing had to remain on file for 1yr where it would be revoked. He kept reaffirming His Truth to me, brought friends to walk with me until I finally go to the other side.

I am fully persuaded and convinced that absolutely nothing and no one can give peace and epitomize peace than JESUS. For His very presence oozes of PEACE and that’s a promise in the face of what each and everyone of us would consider THEIR STORM. Is there any other notion or way to be anchored that you have experienced in times past that outsmarts the ONE I CALL PEACE HIMSELF? If not, then I know that you and I are in Love with the same MAN.
