Open Heaven 17 December 2021 MESSAGE:

However,
only the pure and upright can be inhabited by God, and only people in whom the
Lord dwells can enjoy the blessings of God’s presence that guarantees security,
according to Psalms 91:1 which
says: “He
that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow
of the Almighty.”
If
you live holy, you live holy for yourself because the Lord watches over the
righteous, according to Psalms 5:12.
Also,
there is promotion for those who abide in the habitation of the Lord, according
to Hebrews 1:9. which says: “Thou hast loved righteousness,
and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the
oil of gladness above thy fellows.”
Open Heaven 17 December 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
The
price of righteous living is what those who want to abide in the habitation of
the Lord must pay. Today’s text emphasizes the necessity of righteousness if we
would access protection. Nobody is careless about his or her precious
possession.
Anyone
who chooses to live a consecrated life will enjoy divine protection. Such
people are precious stones in the sight of the Lord. The Lord watches over His
heritage.
This
is why the Scripture says: “For the rod of the wicked shall not rest
upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto
iniquity.” “Psalm 125:3”
God
has promised to inhabit the praises of Israel – His people (Psalms 22:3).
The question however is are you one of Gods people? You can only be one of His
people if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and are
living a righteous life.
It
is the best decision anyone can ever make. God keeps the righteous under His
protection and ensures that evil does not befall them.
My
prayer is that the Almighty God will inhabit your praises, and He will fill
your life with blessings far beyond all expectations, in Jesus name.
Open Heaven 17 December 2021 KEY POINT:
Commit
to living in holiness and the Almighty God will make you His habitation now and
always.

the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul,
praise him, for he is your health and salvation!

All that has

Let the Amen
sound from his people again; gladly forever adore him.
