APPOINTED PLACE OF GOD

"THIS vision was just like the others I had seen, first by the Kebar River and then when he came to destroy Jerusalem. I fell face down on the ground."
Ezekiel 43:3 (NLT)

• God lives in the midst of His people.

• The Church of Jesus Christ is the spiritual Israel.
• God lives in the Church. Jesus gave the power or authority to the church that whatever the church binds shall be bound, and whatever the church looses shall be loosed (Matthew 18:18).
• Are you a member of the family of God? (Ephesians 3:15). If you did not belong to any local church, you may be missing some things from God. The blessings of God are usually released or distributed through the spiritual family you belong.
• Endeavour to submit to the authority under which you are—the leadership of the church (1 Thessalonians 5:12,13; Hebrews 13:7,17).
• When church agrees on a thing, It would be established in heaven (Matthew 16:19; 18:18,19).
• When you gather as one, with other believers, God would be present in your midst and grant your requests (Matthew 18:19). God has made the body of Christ, the believers in general, His sanctuary: "DO YOU NOT KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU [the church] ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, AND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS [permanently] IN YOU [collectively and individually]?" (1 Corinthians 3:16 Amps).

• You are the Temple of God.

• You should not defile your body, which is the temple of God (1 Corinthians 6:19,20).
• God has returned, or sent His glory to the temple in Jerusalem. God will dwell in there forever.
• There is an appointed place which God wanted you to gather with other Believers in worship.
• Believers are the temple of God, but the presence of God lingers in any place where He had appeared at one time or another.
• If a place is dedicated to the worship of God, His presence would always linger or tarry in such a place.
• The fact that people are gathering there for fellowship, to call on His name, or seek His face to meet their needs; It makes the place a sacred place. Knowingly or unknowingly, an altar is already raised in the place.
• Whichever place is consecrated or dedicated for the use of God, formally or informally; as a meeting place for fellowship, or the gathering that has to do with His Kingdom, such a place is already dedicated or consecrated. God's presence would linger or tarry on there.

• God's appointed place.

• There is an appointed place, or a gathering or the family of believers which God wants you to belong as a believer in Christ.
• You are not to be a rolling stone Christian who does not identify with any family of believers.
• Where you worship on Sundays, or where you go to church, is the appointed place which God wanted you to be.
• Does God recognize the place where you worship in heaven?
• Your word of liberation is in your appointed place! That is, the Word through which you would be lifted or blessed is at the place where God wanted you to be.
• There is an appointed place, and the Anointed Prophet of God sent to you. Your words of Blessings are in the mouth of your Prophet.
• The minister with the Anointing for your breakthrough should be located by you. Know the family you belong as a believer, and be under the right Anointing meant for your breakthrough.
• If you are not at the right place of fellowship or worship, the word sent for your help or liberation, might not find or locate you.

• Every believer has to discover his or her spiritual family.

• The person that God brought your way when you needed help, ministered to you and you were able to get solutions, is your prophet—the minister ordained for your breakthrough or blessing.
• Some find it difficult to submit to the person God wanted them to submit to. They want to assess the material acquisition of the person before they could accept him or her as their spiritual parent or pastor. This amounted to pride!
• In the Kingdom of God, there is order. Wherever you see a genuine servant of God, God is there! The reason being that, a genuine minister of God would not go to a place which God has not approved him or her to go.
• If God approved that His servant should go to or be in a place, It means God Himself, that is, His presence is in such a place.
• Locate your appointed place and submit to the minister whom God has put there to take oversight of your life (1 Thessalonians 5:12,13; Hebrews 13:7,17).
• If you are under a wrong leadership or covering, fulfilment could be a mirage. Thus, be circumspect in choosing a place of worship. Let God lead and direct you, in order to know your family and the minister under whom God wanted you to be.

• You will not fail in Jesus' name.

• If any ailment is found in your life, I declare that you are loosed from it in Jesus' name.
• The hold is completely broken and the affliction will not rise again in Jesus' mighty name.
  Peace!

STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. As you took the steps A and B your name is written in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

• If you took the steps As highlighted above, congratulations, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
