Key Verse

 “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” (1Corinthians 6:19)?

Text —1 Corinthians 6:15-20

Message

You must be conscious always of the fact that you are a member of the family of God. As such, you belong to Him body, soul and spirit. As a young believer, always remember that God lives on the inside of you. You are His Temple; His Sanctuary; His House. Keep it Clean! That is, it is required of you to keep your body free from sin and every appearance of it – things you listen to, read and watch. “Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God” (Leviticus 20:7). God’s abiding presence makes you invincible, unconquerable and unstoppable. This is who you are as a child of God! Contrarily, His absence makes you vulnerable.

As you maintain the sanctity of His Sanctuary (your body) according to His principles, God will always be “in front of you” (Deuteronomy 1:30); “behind you” (Isaiah 52:12); “over you” (Psalm 139:5); “under you” (Deuteronomy 33:27); “around you” (Psalm 125:2); “in you” (1 Corinthians 6:19); and “with you” (Psalm 46:11). God will eternally bless and honor you on every side in Jesus’ name. Amen.
