THERE IS A SPIRITUAL HOUSE

1 Peter 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (NIV)

The Church is a body. This body is a spiritual house built with the spirits of those who are born again. Every Christian is a living stone with which this house is built. 

Every house is meant to be inhabited. This house is inhabited by God, He lives in this house by His Spirit. 
Ephesians 2:21-22 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Every individual Christian is God's house. His conducive dwelling place. It is a spiritual house; that is, your spirit. God lives in your spirit not actually your physical body. Your physical body is only subject to express the character of your spirit. 
God's spiritual house is eternal, but your physical body is temporal. Your spirit is eternal and that's where He lives.

This is the beauty of Christianity; the Great Almighty God living in you as His conducive house. 
What you do with this knowledge and how well you walk in it consciously will determine how much you will do for the kingdom and how much you will be relevant to God's plan and purposes in the earth. This is the definition of everything; God alive in a man. Praise God!

PRAYER

Thank You Father for living in me as your spiritual house. Thank you for taking care of this house. Thank you for fulfiling in and through me your eternal plan and purposes in the earth, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd DECEMBER 2023 REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV) The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Philippi, said they should rejoice in the Lord always. He didn't say they should rejoice in themselves but in the Lord. That calls for spiritual insight.  It takes spiritual insight to see what we got in the Lord and rejoice. When you are ask to rejoice over something it means that it holds significance and value. No nobody would ask you to rejoice over something that's not to your advantage. We have everything to our advantage in Christ, and it is our responsibility to recognize them and rejoice.  Looking at your physical environment and, maybe the circumstances of your life you might have reasons to feel bad and dejected. But looking in the Lord and who you are in Him, you would find not only the glorious you but also answers to all your questions.  W...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th OCTOBER 2023 YOU ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM Galatians 3:16,29 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. ...If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.(NIV) We are not Abraham's seeds but Abraham's seed. Abraham has one spiritual seed and that seed is Christ. If you are in Christ you are the seed of Abraham. All the blessings and promises God gave to Abraham are actually fulfilled in you. The promise of blessing God made to Abraham was of two sides; physical and spiritual.  Genesis 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.  Abraham and his physical seed did enjoy the physical side of the blessing. But the spiritual side was reserved for the spiritual seed; those in Christ. The spir...

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM Chapter 12 Episode 1

WISDOM KEEPS YOU FROM ADULTERY Nothing destroys a man or woman than sexual immorality, and more so adultery. But if you heed to wisdom it will keep you from this. As we have a wayward woman so we have a wayward man. One who leaves their partner to go after another. There is no justifiable reason for it. Don't be an adulterous woman or adulterous man.  As a woman avoid married men if you don't want to destroy your own soul. The easiest way for anyone to start his or her hell on earth is to be an adulterous person or have an affair with a married person. Why love another man's wife? Why love another woman's husband? Why? Avoid this, spare yourself doom. If you would heed wisdom it will save you from the adulterous woman or man. Proverbs 2:16-19 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. Surely her house leads down to death and her ...

THE POWER OF LOVE chapter 12 episode 2

EPISODE 1 Proverbs 19:22 What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar. Everyone wants this unfailing love. A love that they can rely on. A sure and certain ground. Love is the desire of everyone because no one can live without it. Men seek it in many ways. They seek it in their jobs, careers, family, marriage etc. We want to be loved for everything we do. We want love. Love is the essence of life. When no one loves us for what we are and do, then no matter how great it is, there is that feeling of emptiness. Love compliments.   Love is everything. God is Love, Love is Freedom, Love is Value, Love is Protection, Love is Care, Love is Selfless, Love is Sacrifice, Love is Life, Love is Perfection, Love Covers Wrongs, Love is Everything. What can you possibly do without love? How far can you go without love? How would you live without love? You ought to love and be loved. That's what life is about. Love covers every aspect of good life. Living a good lif...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th JANUARY 2024 FORGIVE AS THE LORD FORGAVE YOU Colossians 3:13-14 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (NIV) We should not have offense we cannot forgive. But at times we find ourselves in a situation where forgiveness seems difficult. If we apply our emotions and how hurt we are, it will be difficult to forgive. But if we consider how God forgave us then forgiving others would be easy.  There are things to note in our opening scripture; Bear with each other; forgive one another; grievance against someone; forgive as the Lord forgave you; put on love.  To bear with someone means to tolerate. If we cannot tolerate we cannot forgive. Then it says forgive one another; this means that we talk our differences over and forgive each other -- I forgive yo...
