KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 18:17 KJV “Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.”

Peter followed after to express his love for Jesus, yet in a sense, it was a self-willed agenda to prove the Lord wrong. He got to the entrance of the High Priest palace, but could not be allowed in, since He knew not any of the men of influence at the place. John who knew the high priest came to usher him in.  It was at this moment that the girl at the entrance asked him.’ Are you not also one of His disciples? Peter was overtaken with fear and answered,’ I am not, John, who is one of Jesus’ disciples, came to this same girl, to let her allow Peter to get in. She did not ask John any questions but asked Peter. What is happening? God’s word is always superior, and would surely have to come to pass. Human effort or ego cannot alter what God has said. Jesus told Peter, before the rooster will crow, you would forsake me three times. This was the reason John was seen by the girl, yet no question was posed to him, instead, Peter was asked.

Never attempt to prove the word of God wrong. One can only live in peace and fulfillment by believing what God says and doing accordingly.  Dear child of God, are you consciously striving to please God, or living by your wisdom? Any man who is rejecting the appeals of love from the Spirit of God, through preaching, and life encounters, yet you keep turning a death ear, then difficulty and anguish of soul is what is awaiting you. Spare yourself avoidable ‘soul aches’ by surrendering your life to Jesus.

THOUGHT: LIFE IS MADE EASIER IF YOU DILIGENTLY FOLLOW GOD’S WORD.
