Theme: The Lord’s Holy Temple
Text: Habakkuk 2:20

20 “But the Lord is in His holy temple.
Let all the earth keep silence before Him.”


The temple of the Lord is no longer a physical building or tent but has been divinely transformed into the body of men. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 enlightens that; 16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

Beloved, the Lord's temple is now you as a believer. You need to keep it holy and clean at all times. Habakkuk 2:20 is an auspicious statement meant for our dispensation for the Spirit of God now rests in us and no more in tents built by human hands. It implies if your body is the temple of God, then His presence should bring about some quietness or silence in its reverence. What then needs to be silence in us? Dear beloved sin must be silence in us. The sin of rebellion, presumptuous sins, secret sins, willful sins amongst other detestable sins must be silence and have no dominion in you again.

You need to put an end to these sins that exposes your spiritual nakedness so the Holy Spirit can cloth you (Revelation 3:18). Silence every voice of the enemy and open up your spirit for the inflow of the Holy Spirit. Behold! The Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before Him.


Prayer: Dear God, as You've made Your dwelling in me, silence every sin and deceit in me in Jesus name. AMEN!

Apollos means "one who destroys or a destroyer". He was a New Testament figure who steadily grew to become a servant of Jesus through ministry. He was a staunch Jew.  Some Characteristics of Apollos: √ Apollos was endowed with great knowledge and was very outspoken. In his line of ministry, he exhibited understanding of the old canon and delivered its message boldly.  √ Despite Apollos's eloquence and knowledge, he was only vexed in the baptism of John without the knowledge that the prophecy about the Messiah had already been fulfilled. John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
