THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD

June 20, 2024 • Dr Zubeda Sing, Pastor Zubeda Sing

So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite. And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household. 2 Sam 6v10

 

When I read this, my heart rejoices. When you put the presence of God in your home, all evil will leave, it just cannot stay. Lack and insufficiency has to leave because the presence of the Lord is with you. The ark of the covenant was left by King David in the home of Obededom for three months and this was the best three months of his life. David treasured the presence of God so much that he had to protect it.

 

We as children of God need to protect the presence of God in our lives by watching what we say and do. The Holy Spirit in our lives makes our lives holy and pleasing to God. The presence of the living God in our lives causes us to be blessed and also our household. Practice the presence of God, meaning invite him in and consult with him on every detail of your life. His presence connects you to the blessing.

 

CONFESSION/PRAYER

Holy Spirit I invite you into my life. I desire the presence of God to rest heavily on my life so that I can enjoy the blessing, which makes rich and adds no sorrow. Like Obededum, I want your presence so me and my household are blessed.
