ALWAYS IN HIS PRESENCE

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”

 1 Corinthians 3:16

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: You are the presence of God.

There are many Christians who, when they come to church, would say, “Lord, we have come into your presence”. And when they leave church, they feel that they have left the presence of God. Some would even pray for the presence of God to come down or follow them everywhere. But you must understand that as a child of God, you do not ‘come’ into the presence of God neither do you go out of it. You are forever in the presence of God. You are the presence of God. When you enter a place, you enter with God’s presence. You bear His presence. You are the temple of the living God, who dwells in you by the Holy Spirit. When you became born again, Christ took up His abode in you. The headquarters of divinity was relocated to the quarters of your heart. He is in you now, and you are in Him. In Him you live, move and have your being (Acts 17:28). He did not come into you to leave again after some time. He is forever in you. The presence of God does not just come to rest on you; the presence of God is within you. In the Old Testament, the Spirit would come and rest on the people for a while. This was before the Holy Spirit came to take up His abode in our hearts. It is an everlasting indwelling. The Spirit of God dwells in you, and He is the conveyor of the presence and blessings of God, and all that has been given to us in Christ.

Have this consciousness that you are a God-carrying vessel, and you live in His presence every day. This is what it means to be in Christ. You are in the divine environment; the environment of His glory and divine essence. As a born again Christian, God now dwells in you by His Spirit. The power of any believer lies in the consciousness of who he is and what he carries. Until you know that the Greater One lives in you, you will continue to walk and live in fear of what is supposed to be under your feet. As a believer, you must know that God is with you, in you and for you at all times. When you know who you are in Christ; what you have in Him and; what Christ can do through you, it does not matter what is against you, you will be confident that in all these things, you are more than a conqueror.

INSTRUCTION: Constantly study the Bible to know the Truth for therein lies your victory and strength.

PRAYER: Lord, I am more than more than a conqueror. I receive the spirit of love, power and sound mind, in Jesus Name. Amen!!

QUOTE: The strength of your freedom is determined by your knowledge of the truth.
