TOPIC: You Are His Sanctuary“

Text:  Psalm 114:1-8

1. When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2. Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3. The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.

4. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

5. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6. Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

7. Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8. Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

KEY VERSE: Psalm 114:2

“Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.”

MESSAGE

The government house is usually considered to be the seat of power. This is because it is the dwelling place of the president of the nation. The whole environment has the aura of power and authority around it. It is strongly fortified against the incursion of the enemy because once the seat of power has been taken over, then power has changed hands.

The Psalm today is a flashed back to the deliverance of Israel from Egypt and the great wonders that accompanied their journey through the wilderness until their triumphant entry into Canaan. All through, God’s mighty power was at work, causing the Red Sea and River Jordan to part before them and the rocks to bring forth water to satisfy their thirst. Because God indwelt His people, every other thing trembled before them.

The passage illustrates the condition of the redeemed Christian today. Through the believer, God manifests and exhibits His glorious power and majestic splendour. Every Christian must have this proper understanding of who he is as the dwelling place of God and the carrier of His glorious power and majesty.

As you go forth today carrying God’s presence and power, expect mountains to move before you and seas of impossibilities part before you. Show forth God’s glory, holiness and goodness in everything you do and to everyone you meet. You are made to reign!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
You carry God’s presence and power; show it forth!
