Be conscious of Christ's presence in your life

Be conscious of Christ's presence and see the miraculous works of God
manifestating in your life!

Abraham was conscious of the Lord's presence in his life. Wherever he
pitched his tent, he would build an altar to worship God. He believed God
and God accounted him as righteous. God even called Abraham His friend.
What an honour!

Joseph was aware of God's presence in his life also. He was blessed and
favoured by his father and that was the main reason why his brothers wanted
to kill him. Joseph was eventually sold as a slave in Egypt. Even in the
house of his master, the blessings of the Lord were apparent in his life
for whatever he did, it prospered.

When Joseph was tempted by his mistress, he was so conscious of God's
presence in his life that he ran away from his mistress declaring he won't
commit such wickedness in His presence! He was thrown into the dungeon when
the mistress accused him of trying to rape her.

Even when he was in the dungeon, Joseph didn't exhibit a sense of
bitterness toward the people who had put him in that predicament nor of the
situation he was in. Instead he had a strong sense of God's love and His
presence in his life.

When Joseph finally met his brothers, he was not bitter with them and said
that all these things had happened as a result of God's master plan to put
him there, where he is able to provide for his brothers and their families
as well as his own father and his families.

When the consciousness of God is so strong in your life, no evil shall come
near you nor shall any weapon formed against you prospered! You will be
able to do things which you have previously thought are immposibilities.
You'll have the resolve to overcome every adversity knowing that the battle
belongs to the Lord and He is fighting it on your behalf.

Cultivate the presence of the Lord always!

During Jesus' time on earth, his disciples didn't really appreciate His
presence. When they were in the boat with Jesu at the stern, they were
terrified by the storm though Jesus was with them physically and asleep at
the stern. There was much fear among the disciples. When you know God is in
control of the situation, you can rest easy for you know He is taking care
of the situation.

Your heart will be warmed when you're conscius of Jesus. You will be filled
with so much joy and energy that you feel like going on and on perpetually!
Cultivate His presence in your life and see God fighting the battle for
you. Hallelujah!
