A brief history about the Feast of Peace originated from 13th February, 1977 when under divine direction Prophetess Theresa could drink water and eat food at any time she so wished. Previously Prophetess Theresa fasted and did not eat or drink as we do for eight years 43 days. The only fluid she could drink initially during the fast was fresh water from streams. The Holy Spirit recommended the use of rain water. Due to lack of constant supply of rain water, the Holy Spirit later replaced it with coconut water which she drank at 12.00 midnight. If for some reason she was engaged in some activity, like consultation or prayers, and the hour struck she had to stop whatever she was doing and pink coconut water if she missed drinking at that time she had to forgo it till 12.00 midnight the following day. The only thing she ate as food was purified self-boked white day. This was the condition under which she lived for eight years 43 days until 13th February 1977. When under divine direction Prophetess Theresa could drink and eat food at any time she so wished. But interestingly the only food she could eat is fruits. This is a memorable day for both Prophetess Theresa and God's Church of Peace and it is the reason why members of the church partake in the sharing of food and drinks to celebrate the day. The festival of Feast of Peace which is a love feast is preceded with five days of fasting and prayers
