I still remember my wedding day. It was twenty-two years ago, in the city under the rock! The service was long, and the sermon was boring.

I can tell you what happens in a long service on a wedding day! The couples have left in their mind, and a major part of the crowd have left in reality, on their way to reception to wait for the main item of the day. A lot of people are not as concerned about the marriage as they are concerned about not missing the wedding “Jollof” rice!

By the time the church folks are getting to the reception venue, another set of crowds are already waiting! Those ones don’t attend church service. They are not interested in the church’s blessing.

This is why the family of couples usually gets bouncers!

The bouncers would keep unwanted visitors away! The bouncers are usually hefty-looking guys, muscular and well built to send fear to intruders!

In the same vein, God has given you bouncers to keep you from falling in love with intruders!

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Php 4:7 (KJV)

This bouncer is called the peace of God. Look at what it says; shall keep your hearts!

You don’t want your heart broken? This peace is the bouncer! You don’t want your heart violated and you end up being cheated? The peace of God is the bouncer!

Now take a look at the Amplified version.

And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding SHALL GARRISON AND MOUNT GUARD over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Php 4:7 (AMPC)

Garrison
Mount guard.

This peace is like an army barrack keeping you secured from marital bandits and kidnappers! This peace wades off attacks like divorce, adultery, strife, and so on!

How do you find this peace? It comes when God has spoken. It is absent when you are about to make a mistake. Follow this peace. Follow this bouncer and you will avoid a lot of mistakes in your marital endeavor!

Be blessed this morning, as always!
