Temple of Worship

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land – 2nd Chronicles 7:12.

Solomon had finished building the Temple, and he was dedicating the Temple to God. To dedicate something is to  set apart a place, object, or person for an exclusive purpose. The purpose of dedicating the Temple was to be a place of worship. The Temple was a holy place where the Spirit of the Living God reside. Solomon prayed to God for provisions for the people when they had sinned. God answered Solomon with four conditions for forgiveness (1) humble themselves by admitting to their sins. (2) pray to God, asking for forgiveness, (3) seek God continually, (4) turn from sinful behavior Read More

Receive the Holy Spirit

But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified (John 7:39). The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a gift from the Father to the believer to enable them to live a successful Christian life. One of God’s purposes since the beginning has been to dwell with humanity. He walked and talked with Adam in the Garden of Eden, and after the fall of Adam and Eve, it has been God’s desire to fellowship with His creation. The Holy Spirit is a gift from the Father, it’s nothing we can earn, but a gift we can receive. The Holy Spirit’s indwelling will motivate the believer to be careful not to harm his body nor indulge his body in sin. It assists the individual to produce fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. The gifts of the Spirit are productive when operated by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is how we communicate with God in prayer as well as building up our faith by praying in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is something every believer needs, its not by denomination, but who desires to receive the Spirit of the Living God.

God’s Comforting Word

This is my comfort in my affliction, for thy Word hath quicken (given me life) me (Psalm 119:50). As Christians, we will always be going through trials and tribulations until we enter into heaven’s gates. We’re either in a trial, coming out of trail or being prepared to go into a trial, but God always prepare His people for what they go through. Read More
