Text: 1 Kings 9:1-9

When Solomon had finished building the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had achieved all he had desired to do,

2 the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 The Lord said to him: “I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.

4 “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart and uprightness, as David your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws,

5 I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.

6 “But if you[a] or your descendants turn away from me and do not observe the commands and decrees I have given you[b] and go off to serve other gods and worship them,

7 then I will cut off Israel from the land I have given them and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. Israel will then become a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples.

8 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All[c] who pass by will be appalled and will scoff and say, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’

9 People will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the Lord their God, who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why the Lord brought all this disaster on them.’”

After the dedication of the temple, God appeared to Solomon and promised him that as long as he and Israel kept God’s commandment, He would be present in that temple forever and would watch over it. He also warned that if Solomon and Israel abandoned the temple, He would reject Israel and get the beautiful temple destroyed.

This promise and warning still apply to us today. Our bodies are God’s temples (1 Cor. 6:19), and the Holy Spirit lives in us as a sign of God’s presence in His temple. If we maintain holiness, righteousness, purity and chastity, God will be present in us, and will care for and protect us permanently. But if we commit fornication, homosexuality, adultery, or live a life of impurity and lust, it will amount to abandoning God and defiling His temple. God will not spare us; He will destroy any person who destroys His temple (1 Cor. 3:17). Once a Christian lives in sexual sin, the Holy Spirit departs from him and that person becomes empty and abandoned by God. The result is that Satan, demons, and even witches and wizards, can attack, hurt or kill that person because there is no defence. We must be careful to lead a clean life of holiness all the days of our lives.

Prayer: Lord, take my life, and let it be consecrated to you.

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life.
