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.

THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2 DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE!

 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting". You may not know what the future holds and that is the more reason why you should hold unto the one who holds the future. God knows what lies ahead of us this year and as we connect with him through prayer and fasting he empowers us to overcome, prevail and win over every battle, challenges and attacks of the enemy that may come our way. From the Scripture above tells us about the response of Jesus to his disciples when they were faced with an impossible situation that has to do with a man whose son was sick. The disciples tried all they could but their efforts to heal the young man was not fruitful. When Jesus showed up, the seemingly impossible situation became possible. Jesus was able to heal the man's son. So the disciples were amazed and they asked Jesus why they couldn't do it.  I declare: May Jesus shows up in your marriage, shows up in your finances, family in the name of Jesus. Where your strength...

START WITH PRAYER.

 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:14 Starting the year in prayerlessness is a very dangerous move to make. From the scripture above, we see David placing a demand on God in the place of prayer for early satisfaction. He is asking God God to satisfy him early with mercy. Why was he specific by adding "early" and not just saying oh Lord satisfy us with your mercy? The mistake most of us make in our prayer, is failure to be specific and detailed in our prayer. The demand for earl satisfaction will result to early accomplishment and achievements. Now is the time for you to learn this wisdom from David and tell the Lord that you desire to be satisfied early in 2021 with his mercy, favour, goodness, presence, wisdom, success and vision. Halleluyah! Lateness and delay is when the achievement of January is accomplished in December. May you not be found sleeping while your mate are succeeding, maximising their year and prosperin...

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 c...
