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.

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...

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 ...

THE POWER IN YOUR TONGUE

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21) Your words decide your fate. If you confess starvation over you life, God will not overrule it because you have what you say. The power of what you say cannot be overemphasized. When the world is speaking its own language, learn to speak from heaven because you are from above and you are above all. When you learn to speak God's word over your situation, you are superimposing what God has said over every contrary situation in your life. When you do this, the lesser power is bound to bow. Beloved, when we make confession of God's promises, it is not a play of words. As you make these confessions, you are speaking life to yourself. And your situation is obligated to change for the better. " Keep saying what you want until the things you see becomes what you are saying". Always remember that the strategy of the devil is to put you under extreme pressure so th...
