Temple of the Living God
There are two kinds of temples. There is the physical temple of God. This is the temple of the living God, a sacred place where God resides.
It's a place where people come to worship the Lord. Churches are temples of God. This is place where people come in dirty and go out clean, because they come in as sinners and then leave as saints.
The temple of the living God is a Holy place. Where there is no darkness. The light shines on the temple of God 24/7.
Alot of Christians go to the temple of God. To be honest, alot of Nigerians rush to the temple of God every sunday.
Then there is the second kind of temple of God. That is ourself. We humans. The Lord said, know ye not that ye are the Temple of God.
It is this second temple of God that is the most important to God among the two temples.
This is why, the Bible says, on the last day, some will come and say to God, we healed many and cast out demons in Your Name, then God will say, Go away. I know ye not. Ye workers of iniquity.
These men were pastors, practically living in the Temple and doing miracles. But that's not what God wants. He wants each of us to develop the temple in us. He wants us to be 100% Holy within and without.
God wants each of us as Christians to be a worthy Temple of God. He wants us to be qualified to be Temples.
Beloved, no matter your position in Church, whether worker, deacon, choir if You don't purify yourselves and keep away from sin, You're wasting your time. Do not think you have a place in Heaven just by going to Church early. Or by giving a Big offering.
There are some people, once they commit a sin, they go and give an offering. Yes offering is good, But God said, Obedience to Me is better than sacrifice.
You mus first develop the temple of God in you before God can even recognize all you do in the physical temple of God.
You cannot be drinking, smoking, killing or sleeping with your fiancee, and still be claiming prayer warrior. Yes, it is true nobody sees what you do indoors, but God sees everything.
The reason why God hasn't killed you is because He is still giving you opportunity to repent.
A Bible passage says, if anyone defiles the temple of God, him will God destroy.
Another one says, God will take out the fruits and the weed will He pluck out and set on fire. Because they're useless to him. You become useless to God when you are consciously going according to His will and doctrine. He says Thou shalt not....and it is the exact thing which He said Thou shalt not, that's what you're doing.
Thou shalt not Steal. You are stealing.
Thou shalt not commit adultery. You;re committing adultery.
Thou shalt not commit fornication. You're a champion at that.
Love thy Neighbor as thyself. You hate your neighbor.
So i urge you to examine yourself. All the past sin and disobedience
you're committing, put an end to it now.
The Good thing is God is merciful. And He is willing and ready to forgive if you change right now, not tomorrow.
Close your eyes, say Father, I come to You today, I know I'm a sinner.
Forgive me my sins. I make a vow never to go back to my old ways. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Enjoy You new found love and peace in Jesus.....
