RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY, 19TH SEPTEMBER.

THEME: BE CHRIST-INSIDE MINDED.

OPENING SCRIPTURE:…for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people (2 Corinthians 6:16).

God lives in you. You have to become conscious of this. You’re the temple of the living God; He’s made His home in you now. He no longer dwells in earthly tabernacles. The day Jesus was crucified was the day God left earthly temples. While Jesus was on the cross, the Bible says there was darkness in the earth for three hours. The rocks began to split; the earth began to quake. The presence of God had been in the Holy of Holies, separated from the Holy Place with a thick curtain. But when Jesus said on the cross, “It is finished,” that thick curtain was cut from the top to the bottom, and the Holy of Holies was opened, and the presence of God departed from that temple.

This symbolizes that the most Holy Place is open to everybody. Before then, only the High Priest could go into that most Holy Place where the presence of God was, and that He did once every year. But through Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit, the Church was born. And then, the human body became the living tabernacle of Almighty God. Today, everyone who’s born again has become God’s dwelling place.

Do you see why you ought never to be discouraged or defeated in life? It’s because the greater One lives in you. He lives in you in all His glory, majesty, power, and dominion. No wonder the Word says though your body may be dead because of sin, now that Christ lives in you, He gives it life, because of righteousness (Romans 8:10). In other words, Christ in you is your healing and health. Christ in you is your prosperity and assurance of a life full of glory and excellence. Have this consciousness.

Colossians 1:26-27 says, “…To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory.” What God wanted before the foundation of the world was for Christ to take up His abode in the quarters of our hearts; and it has happened. He’s not far away anymore; you don’t have to seek or search for Him anywhere else; He lives in you. Become “Christ-inside” minded.

CONFESSION
I’m the seed of Abraham and therefore an heir according to the promise. I belong to the wealthiest and most sublime family there is, and I walk in blessings untold. I’m empowered to prosper, and positioned to be fruitful and productive, glorifying God with my life, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
