« Surely you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you! »
16 You know that you are God’s sanctuary and that God’s Spirit lives in you, don’t you?
17 If anyone destroys God’s sanctuary, God will destroy him, for God’s sanctuary is holy. And you are that sanctuary!
Every child of God is meant to be a carrier of divine treasure- the spirit of God.
Thus, in spite of our earthen from, all children of God have supernatural abilities because of the presence of God with within us.
God can work through you to achieve great things.
Never underestimate the fact that He can turn around the lives of individuals, families, towns, cities and countries through you.
Now, this is not about your physique, intellect or wisdom, but about Jesus in you, no matter how little you may consider yourself, God can do really great things through you (John 14:12).
In Acts 27:27-44, Paul was just a prisoner on board a ship transporting him and some other prisoners to Rome. However, when a great storm arose and it seemed death was imminent, everyone abroad the ship turned to Paul for help.
Paul was able to lead everyone abroad the ship into safety because of the presence of Jesus Christ in him.
You can also become a successful leader.
You can be the one to proffer a solution to that life-threatening situation.
You can bring tears of joy rather than tears of sorrow to that brother, sister or neighbor, if only you would realize that the presence of God in your life has already furnished you unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:17).
We must however, keep our vessels clean if we want God too abide within us (1 Corinthians 3:16). Isaiah 52:11CW says
« Leave the city of Babylon! Don’t touch anything filthy. Wash yourselves. You who carry the vessels of the LORD »
The ark of the Lord was in Obededom’s house for three months and God blessed him tremendously (2 Samuel 6:10-11).
Obededom’s house must have been spiritually clean for the ark of God to have brought him and his household blessings, because the same ark caused a pandemic when it was brought into a land that was rife with idolatry (1 Samuel 5:1-7).
Jesus Christ has promised to dine with anyone that lets Him into his or her heart (Revelations 3:20) and the life of such a person will be filled with wonders.
Prayer focus: Father, make my life Your special abode and workshop. Please perform wonders through me in the mighty name of Jesus.
