2Corinthians 6:16 Passion Bible.
What friendship does God’s temple have with demons? For indeed, we are the temple of the living God, just as God has said:I will make my home in them and walk among them.
I will be their God, and they will be my people.
What a great assurance to note that we are God\’s people. We are special to Him as He come to tabernacle in us so that we will have a good relationship together with Christ Jesus. Remember that the whole world is God\’s; the heaven, even the heaven of heavens is the Lord\’s and He reigns among the children of men most importantly those whom He hath chosen, whom He hath purchased to Himself and to whom He hath said not to others \”MY PEOPLE\”.
All the nations upon the earth are His, the whole world is in His power yet there are His chosen people who are His possession whom He has done great and marvelous things to.
\”But you are A CHOSEN PEOPLE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light\”; (1peter 2:9) NASB.
The scripture says once upon a time we were not His people but now we are the people of God: which had not obtained mercy then, but now have obtained mercy. So by His Mercies we are now called the children of the most high God because He bought us with His blood and brought us near to Himself. He loved us with everlasting love, a love which many waters can not quench and which the revolutions of time shall never suffice in the least degrees to diminish; that\’s how much value premium God has placed on us
Therefore, do not let yourself down, do not condemn yourself and do not allow anyone to tell you less of who you are. Do not separate yourself from the love of God. NO INVOLVEMENT NO COMMITMENT. Live out of your Imagination not your History. Positive overcomes Negative. Have courage and inspire others with your actions.
Develop a very good relationship with God who hath called you forth and called you \”MY PEOPLE\”. When last did you look up to heaven and declared \”MY LORD MY GOD\” Relating to Him as \”Mine\” which make you to refer to Him as my FATHER which is hallowed fellowship, delighting in Him. \”Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands. His children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. Psalm 112:1-3.
A popular adage says show me your friend I will show you who you are. Our reading today started with a question thus \”What friendship does God’s temple have with demons? For indeed, we are the temple of the living God\”,
\”Do you not know and understand that you [the church] are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells [permanently] in you [collectively and individually]? (1Corintbians 3:16) AMP.
God is interested in you, you can not afford to live your life anyhow and carefree because your life does not belong to you rather to the giver of your live. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Live a life worthy of Him
\”And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit\”. (2Corinthians 3:18).
The same image of God is being transformed to us and we look exactly like Him as we behold His image in us. It matters whom you surrender to and what appeals to you. We obtained His Lordship by His Mercies not by works yet He hath chosen those whom He decided to consider as His temple and He said \”I will make my home in them and walk among them. I will be their God and they will be my people\”.
Blessed are those whose Lord is God . May we be qualified by His Mercies to be called His Children and His PEOPLE Amen REMAIN BLESSED. SHALOM!
