TOPIC: POWER OF GOD’S PRESENCE


TEXT: Ex 19:4(NIV)

_and brought you to myself._


LESSON

The place we dwell in Christ is in Him. A believer can't manifest the glory of God in a greater measure than the value he has for God’s presence. His presence is kingdom in us.


 Treasure and value God’s manifest presence. It is our greatest asset. Samson trivialized this and sin robbed him of the manifest presence. He became emptied and lost the glory of God. Moses treasured God’s  manifest presence and he was a man of His glory. In fact, it was impossible to behold his face as normal Israelites could not behold his face. His secret was his value for God’s presence.


Ex 33:16(NIV)

_How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?"_


Unbelievers can buy cars, build houses etc but only the presence of God marks us out.The seal that we are his is his presence in us. Many have subscribed to something else as the mark of identification and paid less value on the main thing. Eph 1:13 said "we are sealed by this presence." Treasure and value God’s manifest presence and you shall see God’s glory.


How?

1. Long to please him from the core of your being.

2. Pursue Holiness as a priority.

3. Live for his call on daily basis.

4. Spend time in communion.


PRAYER ALERT

Father, make me a shinning light to the nations of the world in the name of Jesus.

BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL - INCUBATING THE FIRE(3)

BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6,2021 TOPIC: INCUBATING THE FIRE(3) TEXT: Judges 15:5 _Then firing the sticks, he let the foxes loose among the uncut grain of the Philistines, and all the corded stems as well as the living grain and the vine-gardens and the olives went up in flames._ LESSON Samson had a focus of what to do with the foxes as well as the extent of the fields to be burnt. This determined the number of the foxes he gathered! Even God had given Adam a job before giving him a help meet! This is vision. Samson also knew that a single fox will not get what needed to be done accomplished therefore he gathered a team of foxes. In a nutshell, no haphazard burning. It is the vision that determines  the provision, the fields you have in view create passion and fire then will fall! You cannot pray beyond the burden you have. You cannot be anointed beyond the vision you have. You only need men in your life to fulfil his vision. Yield to the vision, live for a course, th

BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL - THE COMMONWEALTH

 BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL DATE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19,2021 TOPIC: THE COMMONWEALTH TEXT: Eph 2:12(NJKV) _that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world._  LESSON A believer need not envy the blessing someone else enjoys because we all have equal access to the Father's treasure.  Although we might have different levels of knowledge which is due to growth.  As read in Matthew 6:33 that meditation in Kingdom realities makes it real in our understanding.  The term  _commonwealth_ has its origin traced to the welfare of the public. It has a variety of uses today but the sense of a common benefit still appears in all. There is a commonwealth of Israel which the Jews have explored till date but now the Church has legally been grafted to a greater promise. The deposit of this wealth is in promises and covenants. This is the kingdom welfare provision as stated in the c

 BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,2021 TOPIC: ON THE EAGLES WING (1) Text: Ex 19:4 (NIV) _'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself._ LESSON The seed of glory in believers that was deposited for kingdom expression by the word of God is the Spirit of God. No fruit without a tree and no tree without the seed. To bear kingdom fruits, we must recognize the kingdom seed, nurture the tree of life in us and dispatch the fruit of the kingdom to the world. Rev 22:2(NIV) _down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruitevery month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations_   The Holy Spirit  is the fountain of glory. Now we want to learn how to unlock this fountain on  continuous basis. As it is in many matters of life, the basic principle is constant. _'You yourselves have seen
