The Presence To Cherish

hank God everyday for the opportunity Hes given you to be identified with Him.

The Lord has made His abode in your heart and honoured you with Zoe; His
kind of life. Thats why 2 Peter 1:4 says we are partakers of the divine nature. This life
isnt susceptible to sickness, failure, despondency or depression. This is the best life
anyone could ever live on earth; its the same life with that of our Saviour and
Redeemer,
Jesus.
Man in all his goodness and kindness is nothing before the Lord, until he receives this
glorious life in him. The reason you can stand before the Lord unashamed with hands
lifted in worship, honour and adoration is that youre His holy vessel, His tabernacle, for
He lives inside you. His presence takes sickness, fear, poverty, depression or
unhappiness
away from your life. That presence causes men to favour you and money to come to
you by free course. His presence opens the door, which no man can shut (Revelation
3:8).
You carry the presence of the Lord with you everywhere you go. The Bible says, ...in
thy (the Lords) presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for
evermore
(Psalm 16:11). You must learn to cherish His presence in you at all times. The Psalmist
understood just how important the Lords presence truly is when He cried out in Psalm
51:11, Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Also,
Moses being aware that the success of his ministry depended on that presence pleaded
with the Lord, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence (Exodus 33:15).
You also must cultivate a passion for the presence of God, and, praise and thank
Him for the privilege of being identified with Him.
