1 Corinthians 6:19 ( What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Like 11:24 ( When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and find none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came from)

Man is a spiritual entity, spirit soul and body, man fell in the garden and became soulish under the control of the flesh.

Satan rides upon the flesh to disqualify man from appearing before the living God, for the flesh is the poison of the serpent from the fall, no one appears like this and sees the favour of God without redemption, the flesh must die at the cross to give the Holy Spirit full control.

Paul was addressing the Corinthians here, stating that their body had become the temple of the Holy Spirit since they had transferred it to Him after redemption.

No one acts on his own unless he is occupied by strange powers, the whole entity of men is under the control of evil spirits, that is why Christ shed his blood to redeem it from the clutches of Satan.

It’s either that you become a dwelling place of the Most High or you remain a house of evil spirits.

Unbelievers are all under the influence of demons that instigate them to do things contrary to the will of God.

The Bible says, if demons are cast out from a man’s body, he will started looking for a place in dry place, but if he couldn’t find one, he will decide to go back to his former habitation and if he find the place to be well garnish and empty, he will take some reinforcement with him to make the place permanently become his own and make it worse than the beginning.

That is the human body, a person that is yet to know God is the habitation of evil spirits, whether he knows or not that won’t change the truth.

The spirit that makes you despise God’s word is a demon living inside you, the spirit of lust that is telling you to seduce men is living inside you, the spirit of orgy and immorality is what makes you lust after anything in skirts or trousers, it’s not ordinary for someone to do somethings stupid and go into addiction if demons are not involved.

They are there insides you to make you abominable in God’s sight, they control your life contrary to the will of God, that things that push you to draw tattoos all over your body to glorify demons and use scripture to back it is not the spirit of God, its demons that has taken over your mind and spirit thinking for you and tells you what to do.

Human beings are spiritual beings, it’s either they are being controlled by God if they have repented or under the control of demons if they want to remain as God’s enemies.

Satan entered Judas Iscariot because he was never in agreement with Jesus Christ, he was with him because of what he was gaining by keeping the purse, which is an avenue for Satan to possess him and use him for a purpose.

Greed in him opened the way to be an instrument in the hand of the devil to sell his master for thirty pieces of silver, an idle hand becomes devils workshops.

You choose to chase Satan out of your life the moment you surrender your life to God, not only your life, but it constitutes your spirit, soul and body.

If you give up your spirit man without giving up your souls, the centre of your will, emotion, memory thought and actions, you are still operating under the jurisdiction of evil spirits, or if you surrender your life without submitting your body as a living sacrifice, Satan will enter and use it to carry out his evil purpose.

Its every area of your life that Jesus want to take over if you can release it to him, man was created to be the habitation of God since the beginning, there is a sanctum in the inner part of your spirit created for this purpose which cant be taken over by things,, whatever occupied apart from christ is a stranger and it won’t bring satisfaction, the heart won’t stop longing till the owner take his permanent place.

Nothing can take the place of God in a human heart that was created for divine presence, material won’t suffice, until the owner takes his rightful position.

The sanctuary inside man’s soul won’t be filled till the owner takes over, it was created to house God, and until He gets there man will always be wanting.

Jesus said, If I give you this living water, you won’t be thirsty again, why will you become thirsty when the owner of his sanctuary has positioned himself inside you? Directing your life to the side of living waters.

It’s only those who gave their place to others who won’t be satisfied.

Jesus brought salvation to redeem us from the power that took his place, he wants to reign but the stranger must vacate the place they called their habitation.

Our body is designed as God’s temple, it’s only God that has the authority to chase out the stranger that is occupying his sanctum of our life, you can’t be possessed with demons and make heaven, if he can’t rule your life here on earth, you are of no use to him in eternity.

The strongman needs to be bound before the good can be spoiled, which is the souls of men.

It’s those who are being led by the spirit of God that are called the children of God, those are the one that was chosen by the spirit of God as his habitation and are directed in their lives through the word of God.

The kind of personality living in you reveals your true nature, you can’t be a child of God who is God-carrier and still be a habitual liar, everyone knows that Satan is the father of lies.

It’s not ordinary for one to sleep with twenty men in a day in the name of making money and will you say that one is a child of God?

It is not ordinary for a person to empty the national treasury and put it inside septic tanks, it’s the spirit of greed that will make someone who lacks nothing to continue stealing from the masses….to be continued

Prayer: Father lord, destroy the power of sin over my life, pull down the strongholds of darkness wherever it’s found in me, in Jesus name amen.
