MEMORISE: Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? – 1 Corinthians 3:16
READ: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (KJV)
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 7
Open Heaven 3 September 2021 MESSAGE:
Every child of God is meant to be a carrier of divine treasure – the Spirit of God. Thus, in spite of our earthen form, all children of God have supernatural abilities because of the presence of God within us.
God can work through you to achieve great things. Never underestimate the fact that He can turn around the lives of individuals, families, towns, cities and countries through you. Now, this is not about your physique, intellect or wisdom, but about Jesus in you, no matter how little you may consider yourself, God can do really great things through you (John 14:12).

In Acts 27:27-44, Paul was just a prisoner on board a ship transporting him and some other prisoners to Rome. However, when a great storm arose and it seemed death was imminent, everyone aboard the ship turned to Paul for help. Paul was able to lead everyone aboard the ship into safety because of the presence of Jesus Christ in him.
You can also become a successful leader. You can be the one to proffer a solution to that life-threatening situation. You can bring tears of joy rather than tears of sorrow to that brother, sister or neighbour, if only you would realize that the presence of God in your life has already furnished you unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:17).
We must however, keep our vessels clean if we want God to abide within us (1 Corinthians 3:16). Isaiah 52:11 says:
“Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.”
The ark of the Lord was in Obededom’s house for three months and God blessed him tremendously (2 Samuel 6:10-11). Obededom’s house must have been spiritually clean for the ark of God to have brought him and his household blessings, because the same ark caused a pandemic when it was brought into a land that was rife with idolatry (1 Samuel 5:1-7).
Jesus Christ has promised to dine with anyone that lets Him into his or her heart (Revelations 3:20) and the life of such a person will be filled with wonders.
Open Heaven 3 September 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Father, make my life Your special abode and workshop. Please perform wonders through me in the mighty name of Jesus.
Open Heaven 3 September 2021 HYMN 28: What A Friend We Have In Jesus
1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3. Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
4. Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
