TOPIC:Manifesting Christ's fruit; Peace 
TEXT: Gal 5:18-26
 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law.
Gal 5:22-23

        Malala Yousafzai won a Nobel Peace Award in 2014 for her contribution to peace. She campaigned for justice against the Taliban who took their right to women's education for this reason; she was shot, which could cost her life, but she lived and she left the location. She could choose to join a force and fight back for revenge, but she left. 
         Peace is a fruit of the Spirit every Christian should shew forth in every aspect of life. Peace is you choosing to be happy with other people around you and to live in harmony. Peace is letting go of unnecessary ego to choose happiness and harmony. 
Ways to be a peaceful person
1. Be at peace with your inner self: At times you need to reflect and let go of everything huddling anger in you. 
2. Be tolerant: Avoid picking other people's faults unnecessarily. Matt 7:2
3. Reflection of thought: Stop and think! Choose to respond peacefully
4. Pray for God's peace: Phil 4:7 "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
5. Seek forgiveness, not revenge
6. Let your mind be renewed with the word of God.
Prayer: Precious Father, thank you for your peace. Please take away every bad fruit that does not allow peace to be portrayed in my life.
