God dwelling place

“And the word was made flesh and dwell among us” John 1:14

Where is God dwelling place, Heaven or earth? God is everywhere, today Solomon prays that God should come and dwell in the temple that was built. Where is that temple of God located “Do you known your body his the temple of the holy spirit who is in you” 1 Cori 6:19, is God dwelling in your temple, do we allow God to dwell in it, with all your deeds, for God to dwell in your temple is not only been a church goer, chorister, lay reader, alter server ,  society leaders etc. but we must  serve him truly with one mind and soul,  some are just Christian but they don’t live a Christian life, what they do in secret is evil, the Gospel is referring to them “people honor me with their lips but there heart are far from me” Mark 7:6  do we truly allow God to dwell in our temple with the way we live both in secret and public, examine your life, and try to keep away from things that send God away from your temple (body), and have a zeal to live a holy life “blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God” Matthew 5:8

Prayer Point:     God, i plead for mercy of all my sin, be mercy to me and come and dwell in my temple.
