KEY SCRIPTURE: John 14:23 KJV “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”
Jesus said in the key scripture that those who love Him, will keep his word. The word of God is His identity on the earth. It is a revelation of what His ability would do and has done. Without His word no man would know Him. Indeed, He has exalted His word above all His names. To keep His word means you love Him, indeed it gives you a very High standing before Him. The Lord says, He and the Father would come to the man who keeps His word. To keep the word is to believe what the word says, and to do it. The[DSA1] man that keeps God’s word, trembles at the word.
The Lord would come with the Father, and make their headquarters at your heart. The name of the ministry Christ Embassy, which is led by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was birth out of this verse. He said he kept meditating on this verse till, it took a hold of him. He said, by keeping the word, the Father and Son comes to you, making their headquarters in. He came forth with the declaration that His heart has become the centre of the operation of God. The question that others may ask is, is he claiming he is the only centre of operation of the Spirit of God? Well, he did not say that. You have all the right in this world to also claim that your heart, is the headquarters of the Spirit of God.
What does it mean for the Lord to manifest Himself to you. This means He is going to prove His power in whatever that you do or say. The Lord is always with every child of his, yet those who consciously honour Him, in all they do receive His manifested presence in all they do. Dear one it is the greatest opportunity to have the Monarch of the universe, making your life His residence.
If you have indeed made His word your delight, then you must consciously practice the presence of God. Hold in your mind a consciousness of God’s presence. Worship Him knowing you are right before Him. Wherever you may find yourself chat with Him, bearing in mind He is standing by you, or before you. Never lose sight of His presence. This is what stirs up faith to believe for anything.
THOUGHT: YOU SEE GOD IN YOUR LIFE AS YOU HONOUR HIS WORD
