TOPIC: A Great House (I) (Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Friday, 27 July 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Timothy 2:19-21

MEMORY VERSE: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”Romans 12:1

The MESSAGE:

A house is a living space, a dwelling place, a place of abode and a building. Houses are of different kinds, types, sizes, structures and architectural designs. A house in the Bible includes a synagogue, a temple, a sanctuary, and the human body (2 Corinthians 6:16). The focus of this devotional is human body as house. The Bible says, you are a house, a temple of God. The question now is what type of a house are you? God is interested in living inside you as a house. He wants to be the one that people will see when they are looking for you. Even when the powers of darkness decide to search your life, they are supposed to see God reigning on your temple. 1 Corinthians 6:19 explains that your own very body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. That is, a place where the Holy Spirit intends to stay in order to direct the affairs of your life.

Our Memory Verse enjoins that we should present our bodies to God as a living sacrifice because we are built as living house for the Spirit of God to occupy. Remember that where the Spirit of God is, there is liberty. The body must be holy before it can be acceptable to God. Until our temple is holy and acceptable, we cannot render acceptable service to God.

2 Timothy 2:19-23 says, “In a great house, there are many vessels, some to honour, some to dishonour. The foundation of the Lord stands sure…” The foundation of the house of God must be pure, holy and strong. The strength of the foundation of the house of God is based on the quality and quantity of the word of God that is used to build it. Psalm 11:3 says that the foundation of the righteous can be destroyed, but thank God for Jesus Christ who has laid a new foundation with His eternal blood. If your foundation is polluted, the blood of Jesus is available to purge it and everything built on it.

Some great “houses” have been taken over by traders and strangers such as lying, bitterness, hatred, envy, backbiting, gossip, blackmail, evil thought, some of these “houses” have been turned into a den of thieves (Matthew 21:12-13). Is your “house” like that? (Romans 12:1). Are vessels of honour or dishonour in your houses? Every part of your body is a vessel. Are you using it to glorify God or the devil? 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 says, “For this is will of God, even your sanctification that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour.” You need to sanctify every aspect of your life so that they bring honour to God because the Holy God dwells in the Holy house.
