FAITH CAPSULE: As an individual, you do have the choice of peace in Him.

John 16

Let your choice the name of Jesus. Anywhere under the heaven the power to heal and to be delivered from every activity of the wicked in life is perfectly in the name of Jesus. It is written, “As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” (Romans 14:11) Do you believe that He lives? If you truly believe that Jesus is alive and He is your Lord and savior why not consciously call on His name commanding all which is militating against you to bow? 
In all His messages, there is life and power to anyone who makes his or her choice in the word of Jesus. Let your choice be Jesus and give yourself to hearing in of His word. When you begin to hear, hearing will then bring forth faith. Romans 10:17, “So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” Despite all available means of communication, not all are receiving His message. This is why peace and hope is having no proper place in the life of man including most who claim to have received and accepted Him as the Lord and Savior. Jesus says “these things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace, in the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) What He said to one, He has said it to all. As an individual, you do have the choice of peace in Him if your choice is in the name of Jesus. That is why He said you “may have peace”. Tribulation is a certainty and that is why He said you will have tribulation in this world. In this world, tribulation will come not only to unbelievers but to all. However, there is a way out of tribulation and the way is to choose Him and encounter that tribulation with peace or you can rather please yourself and the enemy in tribulation without Him.
If you have confessed Christ but your lifestyle does not demonstrate Christ, you are living in self-denial. Is there any doubt about your relationship with Christ? Today is the day of your reckoning; make adjustments where there is a need. Proverbs 12:21, “No grave trouble will overtake the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil.” The days we are now living are days of trouble. Trouble and tribulation will come, but because you have chosen Him, you are bound to overcome because our righteousness is in Christ Jesus.

Prayer for today: Ask the Lord to uphold you in every area of your confession, that you may live a life that is centered in the name of Jesus.
