1.The bond of Peace.
Dear friend,
_ Strong bond called Peace.
Key scripture: Eph4:3
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Ever tried holding two separate things together? Maybe it got broken, and you tried to put them back together so it can function as one piece again. It's easier to bind things together than to bind people together. Simply because we do not know the binding force for humans.
*It's easier to bind things together than to bind people together*
Today we have so many broken home, relationship, jobs...broken friendship. And when there is a break up, it doesn't only break the home, family, marriage, or relationship, it most often also breaks the individuals.
Researchers estimate that
1. 41 percent of all first marriages end in divorce.
2. 60 percent of second marriages end in divorce.
3. 73 percent of all third marriages end in divorce.
( so you see that the persons wasn't really the problem, the bond was)
4. Every 13 seconds, there is one divorce in America.
5. That equates to 277 divorces per hour, 6,646 divorces per day, 46,523 divorces per week, and 2,419,196 divorces per year.
That means:
*There are 9 divorces in the time it takes for a couple to recite their wedding vows (2 minutes).*
The truth is, we can't accurately talk about bonding if nothing is breaking. Just as things breaks every day, relationship, friendship, marriages, jobs etc also breaks every day. _One reason for a bond is so that things don't stay broken, not so that things don't get broken._
There are two bonds in life, but we'll just look at one today, then touch the other on Thursday.
*Whatever lacks Peace is bound to break*
One thing you must look out for before you start anything at all ( relationship, job, dream, vision, business, etc) is peace (especially the peace of the mind). If you don't have peace, don't start until you do. Not just that, you must learn to make every effort to be at peace with all men. Why? It is a binding force. All men includes your business partner, wife, husband, neighbor, class mate, colleague, etc
Don't treat your spouse with a careless nonchalant attitude. Don't enjoy arguing. Sometimes you'd have to agree to be wrong for peace to stay. Be sure to keep the peace even if it will make you look stupid.
*Your home can be broken even while you leave together.*
Your business can also be broken even while you are still in business. Look out for peace!!! I'd gladly say I have peace in what I do. And I do all I do to keep the peace, just so I don't stay broken. Everytime I lose my peace, I'd take out time to get it back.
*One thing Jesus gave us to help us function effectively in a broken world is His Peace*
The peace of God surpasses all understanding... People will see you at peace in a storm and not understand why you are not broken. People will hurt you badly and still not understand why and how you forgave them and didn't break.
If you have the peace God gives, nothing can break you!
