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

Jesus died for all people of the earth; from every nation, kindred and tongue, that we might be save for eternity. But it is only those, who by grace through faith that believe on Him and are born again that will be saved.
As believers, God's Spirit lives in each individual and collectively we are  considered the temple of the living God. You may ask,"How can a frail human being body be the temple of God? It is only as we trust in Jesus as our Saviour from sin, and have God's Holy Spirit resides in us, that we can become God's temple. It is a hugh responsibility and a wonderful privilege bestowed upon us by God himself, to be His spiritual temple. Together as believers we are the temple of God which his Spirit dwells in. We must seek to abide in the power and strength of Jesus Christ, and not our own strength. Submitting our will to the Holy Spirit as we die daily to self and live our lives in Christ. It is God who will and do good works in us. We must remember, that wherever God temple is, Christ promised to always be with us. Where two or three are gathered together in His name, he promised to be in the midst. What a great privilege we have! Just as the physical temple in Jerusalem was the special residence of God,  devoted to His service and was sacred; so we must see ourselves as holy, consecrated for his service and being one body in Christ - the church. The church has only one foundation, which is Jesus Christ our Lord and we together make up the church of the living God. The whole body of believers in which the Holy Spirit dwells - "The living stones, of which Christ is our High Priest. Let us open our hearts and allow the Holy Spirit to dwell in us; to convict us of our sins and to lead us unto the path of righteousness. Let the Holy Spirit be ruler of your life and dwell on the things He placed in your mind, as he draws you closer to God and prepares you to meet the bridegroom - Christ our King.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...
