From the beginning, God's arrangement has often been to have consistent fellowship with humanity. Looking at God's relationship with Adam and Eve in Genesis part 3, we see that He normally visited them at a specific time to have fellowship with them. However, in the era of the New Testament, in light of the fact that the Almighty has better things available for us, He has decided not to visit, but rather to abide in us. How advantage and favored we are! The Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul clarified this truth in 1 Cor 6:12-20.
As a Christian, you need to know that your body is the hallowed residence of the Almighty. You also need to realize that because you have been redeemed by the valuable Blood of Jesus, you have been bought by God at a very high price You therefore don't have any case over your body any longer, and subsequently, you have no right to pervert, abuse or draw in your body in whatever is in opposition to the will of God.
God expects that we should practice dependable stewardship over our bodies. He wants that we ought to do all things needed to glorify Him with our bodies and make them suitable for His worship.
Many individuals in the world today, particularly young people, see their body as theirs, thus they believe they can do anything they like with it. They have decided to step the way of polluting their bodies, which ought to be the temple of God, through wicked ways of life and association with evil companionship. Clearly, this is the motivation behind why early death is moving upwards on the earth today. The individuals who decide to manhandle their bodies with undesirable food, alcohol, extramarital perversion, hard drug, and other hazardous substances usually fall sick and end up dying prematurely.
Some tend to have emotional or psychological issues that eventually lead to instability, loss of mental soundness, discouragement, and even suicide. Abuse your body has such horrendous results. You need to trust God in His suggestions for the prosperity of our body. Get your body far from whatever can defile or dirty it. Try not to respect any opposite peer group pressure. The individuals who keep their bodies unadulterated are directly welcoming the presence of God into their lives, and they will get a divine invitation from above. It is an extraordinary advantage and honor to embody the presence of the Almighty.
Examine the people and things you have been allowing admittance to your body: do they pass God's purity assessment?
