Text: Psalm 18:43-50
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Every good and perfect gift is from God. He looked at everything he created and all was good. The word of God says our body is the temple of God; the place of his habitation-1 Corinthians 6:19. Our bodies therefore, are supposed to be free from disease and any form of anomaly.
In confirmation of this, Apostle John wrote saying, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” 3 John 2
Being the temple of God, it is meant to be holy because the Spirit of God does not dwell in an unholy environment. As long as you remain holy and are prayerful your body is protected from demonic infestation and shielded from the agents of darkness.
When you begin to toy with sin, the Spirit of God will withdraw and darkness begins to reign. Such a person has given the enemy a legal ground to afflict him. Demons’ full time job is to steal your joy, kill your faith and destroy your love for God.
Demons are strangers in God’s temple. They are meant to be cast out and not to be harboured. Mark 16: 17-18 says, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
However, you can only cast them out if the Spirit of God dwells in you. If you harbour sinful lifestyles, you need to repent, be converted and forsake your sins first. Invite the Holy Spirit and dislodge the strangers in your life in Jesus name.
