HIS VOICE DAILY DEVOTIONAL
FRIDAY, 2ND AUGUST 2024
TOPIC: GOD, WHO WORKS IN YOU
TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. KJV
The above text is one of the most important revelations given by Apostle Paul through the inspiration of God to the church. In his letter to the brethren at Philippi, he encouraged them to obey all they have learnt through his teachings and way of life in his absence as they have done in his presence. (Philippians 2:12)
He established this statement with the truth that the ability and willingness to be obedient is through God who is at work in them. Therefore, the believer's walk is sustained and anchored by God, who lives in us. And we know him, who lives in us. 1John 4:4 says "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." KJV
God, who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. He is the Holy Spirit. 1Corinthians 6:19 says "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? KJV. The Holy Ghost is in you which makes your physical body the temple or house of God. God inhabits you by the presence and power of his spirit. This truth is the supernatural power that sustains the Christian faith. Men and women, with different tongues, race and culture, who are full of God by his spirit.
This means that as many whose bodies have become the temple of the Holy spirit, can be influenced and directed by God to do his will per time. This is the miracle that changes the world. Men and women of God, who listens to his direction and voice, knowing what to do and how to do what to do, to his glory and praise. Such beauty and supernatural manifestation! This is heaven on earth, we seek for no other reality!
Child of God, your Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ, who is one and the same with the Father is in you by his spirit. He is your willingness and desire. He is your "want to and ability". He is vigorously at work in you, to will and do of his good pleasure. Do you acknowledge this truth and how have you actively engaged this truth?
PRAYER
My Lord and my God, you are the one who gave me the gift of your spirit and a new life not a renovated or refurbished one. For my new life is by the regeneration of the Holy spirit. He is the newness of life in me and through his presence in my life, you are able to work in me. Help me to yield to the Holy spirit always in Jesus' name. Amen
