BLESSINGS OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD

1. PROSPERITY

Gen 39;2

When God is with us there is prosperity and sucess in our lives.God was with Joseph and made him successful in everything that he undertook. A supernatural power was working on behalf of Joseph in his endeavours.The same blessing can operate in our lives when the presence of God fills our lives and labours.

2. PEOPLE

Gen 39:21 II Chronicles 15:9

When God is with us He gives us the people we need to help us. God was with Joseph and gave him favour with people he needed to help him.He had favour with his father, with potiphar , with the prison

keeper and finally with Pharoh.God was with Asa and when the people

saw it they came to help him. The presence of God in our lives will

bring the people we need to help us.

3. PROTECTION

Isaiah 43:2 , Psalms 121:5 , Psalms 124: 2-3 , Jeremiah 20: 11

The presence of God is a great wall of protection around us.This

is the secret of our survival even in the midst of great attacks

and dangerous exeriences that we go through.When God is with us

we have a supernatural protection in our lives.He is our shade to

cover us all the time.

4. PROMISE

Isaiah 41:10 , Hebrews 13:5-6 , I Samuel 18: 28-29

The presence of God gives us great promises.Because He is with

us we need not fear anything.When we realize that the Almighty God

is with us all our fears vanish because He is stronger than any

force that can harm us.God was with David and it made his enemy

Saul to fear him.The presence of God will make our enemies to fear

us because they see that God is with us.

5. PEACE

Exodus 33:14 , Isaiah 26:3 , Psalms 16:11 , Philippians 4:4

The presence of God gives us great peace and joy in our lives.

Jesus promised us the peace which the world cannot give. This divine peace does not depend on the outward circumstances. When we

are inside an airconditioned room we can be cool even though it is

hot outside. Similarly the presence of God gives us great inward

peace and joy even though the external circumstances may be bad.

6. POWER

Acts 10:38 , Mark 16:20

There is great power available to us when God Presence fills

our lives. God presence was with Jesus and filled his life with

divine power to set the people free from satanic bondage. The

presence of God was with the early disciples and confirmed their ministry with signs following.

7. PRIVILEGE

Isaiah 57:15 , Jeremiah 9:23-24

The greatest privilege in life is to have God’s presence in our

lives. The people of this world feel greatly honoured if some

great man or ruler or a famous person visits their home.Some

shopkeepers hang pictures of the famous people who visited their

shop. Others are proud of the autographs they have of great people.

But the greatest privilege and honour that we can have is the

presence the Almighty God in our lives. The Lord wants us to realise this truth and live in that understanding.It is the presence of God with us that we should boast about.Let us value the presence of God and be careful not to allow anything that can remove his presence from our lives.
