YOU ARE GOD'S RESIDENCE

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)

1 Corinthians 6:19 says: do you not know that your body is the temple, the very Sanctuary  of the Holy Spirit who lives within you, whom you have received (as a gift) from God? You are not your own.
From the above scriptures, we understand that we are God's dwelling and His residence on earth. Of all the mighty truths in connection with pur redemption, this is the apex of the reality of our redemption; that after God himself recreated us, made us new creatures in Christ and made us His own, then He in the person of the Holy Ghost, makes our bodies His home. The believer through the new birth. No longer does God dwell in the earth-made Holiest of Holies. Our bodies have become His temple.

From scriptures we understand that God's presence was kept enclosed in the Holiest of Holies. No one dare approached there except the priest, and he did so only with great precaution. But through the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus which brought about our identification and oneness with Him, God ow makes His abode in believers. You don't have to feel it, but you have to believe this precious truth. God will never leave you. You have become one with the father, therefore you are His eternal dwelling place.

However, Jesus said, ".......that He (the Holy Spirit) may abide with you FORVER". (John 14:16). The Holy Spirit didn't come as guest to stay for just some few days. He didn't come on a vacation to dwell inside of you for just a short time. He came to dwell in you to be at home with you forever. Glory to God! Now you can walk through life fearlessly as a victor because God lives in you. You are a super human. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDIES: Philippians 2:13, 1John 4:4

PRAYER:
1. Thank you Lord for making me your dwelling place and a container of your fullness. Hallelujah!
2. I and the Father ate one, therefore failure and defeat can never be a part of my life in Jesus name.

LISTEN TO GODS' VOICE TODAY

"Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against Him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against Him in the desert.” (Hebrew 3:15). God speaks to his creation at all times. As we read the bible we see instances where God spoke to unbelievers, example; Saul,  Nebuchadnezzar etc. Jesus spoke to the wind and it obeyed him, He also spoke to the fig tree. How much more you his child. It is an error for you to say you can’t hear his voice.  Jesus speaking in..…John 10:27 said; “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”  As Gods' children, we have the capacity and the ability to hear His voice. But the challenge is; a lot of us do not pay attention and listen to what God is saying. Probably because we are waiting to have the Saul’s encounter of a voice speaking from heaven (Act 9:4). God speaks to us in our spirit with a small still voice. Prophet Elijah had an encounter with this voice… II Kings 19:12 -13 “...and after

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THEIR THREAT

But that it spreads no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. Acts 4:17 There are people who live relatively free from persecution even though they may have experienced some mockery, ridicule or ostracism because of their beliefs. One thing we must never do is to fear punishment or death, although some Christians elsewhere in the world are killed for their faith. From the scriptural text, we noticed that Peter and John were threatened for proclaiming the gospel, but here is their response in Acts 4:20; "Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than Him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard". (NLT) Our goal as believers is to become unshakable in our faith. Peter and John didn't flinch from their responsibility to proclaim salvation in Jesus name even in the face of imprisonment and threats. Yet, in reading this account, we may wonder how we could ever endure persecutio

CHOOSE TO SEEK GOD EARLY.

 O God, you are my God, early will I seek you;  my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 The choice to seek God early is the key to timely accomplishments in life. Many often miss their set time and season because of their unwillingness to seek God early. The psalmist said early will I seek thee. Don't wait for the worst to happen before you seek him.  As we begin this New Year, now is the time for you to prayerfully seek the face of God, listen to his instructions, enquire from him and receive God's vision for your life this year. Be intentional about your success this year. Take responsibility for your life. Be determined and committed to seek God early before you make any decision or conclude on anything this year. Those who seek God early can never arrive late and those who seek Him first can never be last. I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you this year in all you do. No matter the pressure and challen
