There's Nothing Like the Presence of the Lord

We were created to carry, live in and enjoy the presence of God. So, to live outside the presence of God is to live outside the purpose of your creation.

Many people are living outside the purpose of God’s creation for their lives. The day Adam lost the presence of God, he lost his purpose for existence.

The first battle man needed to fight which we still fight today is to maintain the presence of God. A man can be in church but lost in purpose before God because he has lost the presence of the Lord.

Primarily, God didn’t create you to do things for Him; the foremost essence is that you carry His presence. Anything you do for God without carrying His presence is manual labour.

Right from Exodus 19:10-17, God makes it clear that His presence is a sine qua non. There are levels in seeking God (Exodus 24:9-14). You must seek Him constantly for deeper levels.

Don’t let leadership positions or responsibilities in church to make you lose sight of the presence of God. It’s not about how old you are in the faith, it’s about your current state before God.
The day you start losing the presence of God, your backsliding has started. God will put oil upon the man who enters His presence, not the one who merely talks.

Exodus 34:27 -- God said to Moses: "Now write down these words, for by these words I've made a covenant with you and Israel."

Exodus 34:28 -- Moses was there with God forty days and forty nights. He didn't eat any food; he didn't drink any water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Words.

Exodus 34:29 -- When Moses came down from Mount Sinai carrying the two Tablets of The Testimony, he didn't know that the skin of his face glowed because he had been speaking with God.

Exodus 34:30 -- Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, saw his radiant face, and held back, afraid to get close to him.

Aaron was also a priest but couldn’t look into Moses’ face when Moses came down from meeting with God. It is God’s presence that produces exploits, not your post in the church.

You can’t carry the presence of God and your life lack proof/result. Every time you go into the presence of the Lord, there’s a transformation that goes on inside of you.

Luke 1:19 -- But the angel said, "I am Gabriel, the sentinel of God, sent especially to bring you this glad news.

Luke 1:20 -- But because you won't believe me, you'll be unable to say a word until the day of your son's birth. Every word I've spoken to you will come true on time - God's time."

What validates your authority over life and creation is your stand in the presence of God. The presence of God gives you a stand in life, amplifies your voice and makes you a force to be reckoned with.

You cannot look unto God and carry shame, rather, you carry the radiance of His glory. It is not about who sends you but about who follows you. It’s not enough for God to send you, you need His presence to accompany/follow you. Exodus 33:15 records that Moses said, "If your presence doesn't take the lead here, call this trip off right now.

The presence of God energizes and strengthens you against temptation, and enhances your sight. When Samson lost the presence of God, he lost his spiritual strength, spiritual liberty and sight.

If you must enjoy God's presence, be born again and stay pure.

Acts 3:19 -- "Now it's time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you

Our number goal as Christians is to spread the gospel of JESUS. Don't postpone going out to share the message of Christ to people. There are many lost souls out there. The fields are ripe for harvest. Have a burning desire for souls and God will reward you as well. Remember, he that winneth souls is wise.

The presence of God is necessary in our lives. Seek his presence continually. There's really nothing that's as sweet as His presence.
