BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 24, Psalms 25, Psalms 26, Romans 8, Romans 9

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 (KJV)

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

MEMORY VERSE: “If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” – 1 Corinthians 3:17

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:

Every man is in three parts: the body, soul and the spirit. The three are important to God and shouldn’t be tampered with. The body is the carrier of the soul and spirit. 3 John verse 2 tells us that God wants us to prosper in our body, soul and spirit. This is all round wellness and prosperity.

Just as our wellness is important, the purity of the body, soul and spirit is also vital. Can one be well in a polluted and defiled body? No! Can we continue in sin and say grace should abound, No! To enjoy total wellness requires the sanctity of the three. Our body is the temple of God, where His Spirit resides. God no longer lives in tabernacles. He now lives within us and has made our hearts His dwelling place. Do you now see why the human body, especially for a Christian, should be kept holy and pure, away from filthiness, so that God can make it His tabernacle? God cannot behold iniquity. He abhors every detestable thing. A polluted vessel, a filthy body are all abomination to God. The Holy Spirit would depart from such.

Learn from the story of Samson. He was so powerful, yet he lusted after a Philistine woman who eventually sold him to his enemies. They mocked and ridiculed him with his eyes gorged out. This was all because he failed to honour God with his body. He defiled the sanctuary of God to satisfy his lust. He wanted to move in God’s power as usual, but did not know that the Spirit of God had left him. If you continue to engage in filthy practices, there will be unanswered prayers, closed heaven, and you will become an enemy of God.

Today’s memory verse is expressly clear about the divine sanction for anyone that defiles God’s temple: God will destroy him! I am sure you don’t want to be destroyed. In case you are still in that kind of business where your body cannot be kept for God as a living sacrifice, I beg you to repent today and seek God’s face for forgiveness and mercy. He will clean you up and make peace with you.
