BELIEVERS BE ATTITUDES Series| BEATITUDES (7)| CHIMDI OHAHUNA.
Bible Text: Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Peacemakers are individuals who possess the unique ability to foster peace in their surroundings, even if they may not always be perceived as peaceful. What sets them apart is their sweet communion with the Holy Spirit, having a deep fellowship with God thereby drawing upon the inherent deposit of peace that rests within them from God. They manifest this inner peace and are also empowered to translate God's peace without by way of reconciliation.
Being a peacemaker goes beyond maintaining personal tranquility; it involves actively mediating conflicts and diffusing tensions to create harmony. While this may seem challenging, because of the Holy Spirit living within the believer and via His direction, believers in Christ possess the wisdom and grace to navigate through conflicting situations with empathy and understanding.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace, he gives peace not the way the world gives peace (Isa 9:6). Jesus speaking in the Book of John 14 verse 27 says, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
Peacemakers exude an aura of peace. They carry the profound tranquility within them, and it radiates through their actions, words, and demeanor. They act as beacons of hope, reminding others of the possibility and necessity of peace. Through their example, they inspire others to embrace and value peaceful resolutions.
Moreover, peacemakers are profoundly connected to the essence of love and have a deep appreciation for the transformative power it holds. Love is the underlying force that propels their dedication to developing peaceful environments. They understand that true peace can only exist where love thrives.
In essence, peacemakers are individuals who possess an innate ability to pacify, restore balance, and promote peaceful coexistence. Their embodiment of peace stems from their intimate connection with the divine deposit of peace within them, which allows them to bring about positive change in the world around them. They are agents of transformation, spreading the message of peace and inspiring others to embrace a harmonious way of life. In this is the blessedness of how we are children of God as peacemakers.
