Topic: The Power Of God’s Presence [5 November 2018 Devotional]
Scripture: Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. Psalms 114:7-8
Thought For The Day: The atmosphere of God’s Presence is the atmosphere of all possibilities.
It has been confirmed that the Presence of God is the greatest asset of a person on earth. The atmosphere of God’s Presence is the atmosphere of all possibilities; anywhere God is present, everything is possible, because with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26b). Therefore, it is very vital to look at the Power of God’s Presence.
Now, the question is, how powerful is the Presence of God?
1. The Presence of God creates a way where there is no way
The Presence of God is a Way-Creator. For instance, God’s Presence created a way in the Red Sea (Exodus 14:15-22).
- The Presence of God uproots obstacles and mountains (Psalm 114:4). Mountains cannot survive the Presence of God; obstacles are destroyed in God’s Presence.
Now, according to Psalm 114:1-8, what are the factors that enhance access to God’s Presence?
1. Separation from the wrong association
Israel came out of Egypt before they could experience God’s mighty Presence (Psalm 114:1). As long as you remain in your ‘Egypt’, you cannot see or experience God’s Presence.
- The Avoidance of the wrong language (Psalm 114:1)
If your language is not correct, God cannot be present with you. -
Availability as a vessel to carry His presence (Psalm 114:2). Judah who carried God’s presence was God’s sanctuary; God is willing to manifest himself to available and yielded vessels.
-
The possession of praise
Judah who was His sanctuary means praise. Praise attracts God’s Presence (Psalm 22:3)
Beloved, my counsel is, make God’s Presence a priority in your life; separate yourself from wrong every association, avoid the use of wrong language, be yielded to God and praise Him always.
Remember this: The atmosphere of God’s Presence is the atmosphere of all possibilities
Assignments:
1. Disconnect from every wrong association.
2. Surrender absolutely to God and refuse to stay outside His Will.
3. Live a life of praise and worship.
