God's temple.

God's temple
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Corinthians 6:19
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who  is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

I am sure you have seen temples in and around your locality. This verse tells us, our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. You are the temple of God. God dwells in you. Next time, when you see a temple, remember God doesn't live in man made temples, He lives in you.

In the Old testament, God's presence was limited to the ark of the covenant in the Holy of holies and therefore restricted only for a few anointed people. But in the New testament, the blood of Jesus has given us access to God's presence - the Holy Spirit dwells in every born again child of God.  Meditate on this for a while : God dwells in me. You are the Ark of God's presence. What the people of old covenant couldn't enjoy, we enjoy because of the blood of Jesus - fellowship with God. Be conscious that God lives in you. Be conscious of His presence all the time, no matter where you are or what you are doing. In everything and always give Him thanks because He dwells in you. He is all you need and He lives in you. Christ in you!

Offering your body to Him is one of the most powerful ways you can express your gratitude to the Lord for all that He has done for you. This is our spiritual worship. As you glorify God with your body, the Spirit of God will use you mightily to bring more glory to Jesus. Go on with Jesus!

"My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. God lives, dwells and abides in me. I am conscious of this reality and I offer my body as living sacrifice to the Lord. I walk in constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit and therefore I prosper in everything I do."
