WISDOM FOR THE DAY

THEME: CONDUCT YOURSELF AS A BELIEVER
“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which you have of God and you are not your own? For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV)
Beloved, you have already been bought. Jesus Christ purchased you with His own life. It is a matter of death and life, and that is why you must be deliberate in how you conduct yourself. In every area of your life whether as a business person, in your career, profession, ministry, or family, you are the church. God expects you to carry yourself in a way that brings honour and glory to His Name.
When this truth is rooted in your spirit, it will transform your behaviour. The Bible says, “Be ye not unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness, and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?” - 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 KJV
Beloved, you are righteous. You have no fellowship with unrighteousness. You are light, and you should not be found entangled with anything that belongs to darkness. You belong to Christ, and you are not to participate in demonic activities in any form.
The scripture further declares, “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols, for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” - 2 Corinthians 6:16 KJV
Beloved, you are the church. God is your God, and you belong to Him. He will be your God in every circumstance. Therefore, you are called to conduct yourself as a child of God in every place you go. You cannot live like the people of the world; that is unacceptable.
Hear the Word of the Lord: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and I will be a Father unto you…” - 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 KJV
You are God’s temple. Honour Him in your body and spirit. Live in separation, live in righteousness, and let your life reflect the holiness and glory of the God who purchased you.
