The Blessing Of Housing The Presence Of God

               

And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. Joshua 6:17.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God cannot co-exist with demons...

The Presence of God contains the blessing of God. To be a carrier of God’s Presence therefore, is to be a candidate for His blessing. That is to say that where His Presence is available, His blessing is confirmed.

Now, how does one carry His Presence in order to be blessed? It is by making one’s life a house for God by living a holy and upright life. It is also by extension, making your house (home) a house for God. If your life is a house for God and you go a step further to make your house (home) a house for God, then you are at the point where God will prove to you that He cannot live in your house and you remain cursed. This is because God cannot co-exist with demons. For instance, the life of Obededom the Gittite changed positively in 2 Samuel 6:11-13, as he housed the Ark of Covenant of the Lord. Rahab, the harlot gave accommodation to the spies of Israel, the covenant people of God, and when the wall of Jericho collapsed, the only segment of it that couldn’t come down was her house. For accommodating God’s people, she and her entire family were preserved. In addition to that, Rahab entered the commonwealth of Israel and became one of the ancestors of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Beloved, every time you have the opportunity of giving your house to be used either for Dunamis Home Church or a Home fellowship, know that you are doing your life and destiny a favour. Don’t ever think that you are doing the Church a favour. One man in our Church gave his house for the Home Church meeting and that same week, his pregnant wife boarded a vehicle without knowing that the driver was an agent of ritual killers. After the driver roamed about for a while, he said, ‘Madam, please alight here. I am not a taxi driver. I am an agent of ritual killers on assignment; I was sent to bring a pregnant woman, but something restrained me from touching you as soon as I saw you.’ That was how the woman was preserved from death. The man (the husband) came and testified in Church saying, ‘I gave my house for the Home Church and within that very week, God preserved my wife.’ There is something God wants to do with your life, and as you make yourself available, it shall be done in Jesus’ Name.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make yourself a house for God by keeping yourself pure at all times.
2. If possible, do not hesitate to donate your house for God’s purpose.

PRAYER: Lord, with the help of Your Grace, my life shall be more habitable for You, in Jesus’ Name.
