May 2025 – Month of the presence of God

Our Month of THE PRESENCE OF GOD 

Isaiah 43:2; Exodus 33:13-15; Matthew 28:20

God has given you and I the opportunity to walk and dwell in His presence but it is unbelievable that some Christians never exercise this wondrous privilege. Each day, believers still say no to God’s offer of fellowship, choosing instead to spend time filling their minds with garbage on television, with gossip or with mindless recreation. Yet, many believers still search high and low for answers to their problems, never thinking to seek them at the feet of God. They have consulted pastors, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, gurus and self-help books. They have been to seminars, workshops and retreats but all this time, the answers have been waiting for them – in the presence of God. 

God’s Word offers us some practical keys to abiding in His presence. The Bible gives us an understanding of how to enter into God’s presence and remain there. It is only when you learn to do this, that you will find the answers and solutions you are looking for. You will then begin to enjoy the benefits of God’s presence. 

Gloria Copeland made a statement that resonates with me: “To not live daily in God’s presence is not only sinful but stupid.” There is so much to be gained from living and walking in God’s presence, and there is so much we miss when we neglect it. It’s so simple, yet so many believers miss this powerful truth. 

We live in a benefit-oriented society where everyone wants to know, what’s in it for them. There are benefits that come from living and abiding in the presence of God. In the course of the sermons this month, we will see some of these benefits. 

My prayer is that we will all dwell in His Presence and enjoy the benefits that come with it.
