M/VERSE: “Create in me a clean heart, o God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.” (Ps. 51:10-11)
INTRODUCTION
God has decided to remain invisible while keeping His own in a physical visible state. It is this divine arrangement that Satan and evil men and women are taking advantage of when dealing with God and His people. They feel, “where is that God that people are always referring to saying “God, God?” But the real redeemed of the Lamb, knows that for sure, the Lord is real and exists in the invisible world while directly and indirectly presiding over the affairs of human beings here on Planet Earth. But do you know and believe this? Isa. 53:1; Heb. 11:6; Acts 5:1-11.
POINT 1: KNOW THAT GOD IS WATCHING YOU
We can minimize or completely eliminate casually amongst us, if we can create a true divine awareness within and around us in all that we do within and outside the house of God. We really need to be very conscious of the Lord's presence amongst us. So many so-called born again Christians, think and practice the unthinkable because they feel that “AFTER ALL, WHERE IS GOD?” It is this factor that has given rise to INIQUITY ABOUNDING which subsequently, lead to the Love of many waxing cold as recorded in Matt. 24:11-13. Try to endure to the end of the time not minding what is happening around you and in the house of God. Hold the Truth firmly and stop giving heed to false prophets, teachers and pastors. Work out your own salvation through the fear of God and trembling at the rebuke of the Holy Spirit of God.
POINT 2: THE LORD IS IN OUR MIDST
When you want to carry out any evil practice either in words or actions, if you and I, would rise up to the very consciousness of the Lord being invisible, being much in our midst as the keen but silent observer, who is recording all our utterances and actions accordingly, we will stay away from unwholesome practices both in secret and in the public. Through this means, we would, by implication, be attracting the presence of the Lord and His angles continually from our midst for our good. Let us stop scaring away God and the host of heaven by our continual deadness to the reality of the Holy Spirit in our midst. He is our Guide, Comforter, Counselor and indeed, everything we need to succeed in this our heavenly race. Acts. 1:8; Jn. 16:13-15. The Holy Spirit is supposed to be a comforter to us and not a Terror. He is to be for us and not against us provided that we do not grieve, provoke or resist Him in our lives and doings. Eph. 4:30.
CONCLUSION
Look up, look down, look everywhere; did you see God? But He is seen you. All your works and actions, are been recorded by angels accordingly. Let us
