CARRIERS OF HIS PRESENCE: HOSTING THE GLORY OF GOD (6)
Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional
Date: Monday, 2 June 2025
Topic: Carriers of His Presence – Hosting the Glory of God (6)
Focus: The Blessing of Hosting His Presence
Message:
God is not seeking just moments of visitation—He is seeking habitation. In a generation chasing platforms, popularity, and quick encounters, God is looking for hearts that will host Him. Like the house of Obed-Edom, where the ark of God rested, your life can become a sanctuary for His presence. This devotional series is a prophetic invitation to cultivate a life that draws, welcomes, and sustains the glory of God. It is for those who long to become dwelling places—temples of divine habitation, not occasional visitation.
📖 Key Verse:
2 Samuel 6:11 – “The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom… and the Lord blessed him.”
Devotional:
There is a blessing that follows those who host God well. When the ark of the covenant remained in the house of Obed-Edom, something supernatural began to happen. In just three months, everything in his household prospered. Why? Because the presence of God brings blessing, not just spiritually, but tangibly (2 Samuel 6:11). This is not about chasing blessings—it’s about honoring His presence so deeply that blessings chase you.
📖 Scripture Reading:
- 2 Samuel 6:11 – “…the Lord blessed him and his entire household.”
- Exodus 33:15 – “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.”
💧 Refreshing for the Day:
Beloved, hosting God changes your environment. It shifts your atmosphere. It releases divine favor over your home, your children, your work, and even your relationships. But the blessing isn’t just material. The greatest blessing is communion—having God near, hearing His voice, walking with Him daily. Hosting His presence rewires your heart until you’re more drawn to His nearness than anything else. This is the blessing that cannot be bought. It comes only to those who’ve made their lives altars. So, seek the blessor, not just the blessing. The presence of God is the greatest treasure. Prioritize Him, and watch how everything else aligns. Stay Refreshed!
✨ Note This:
Where God is honored, Heaven responds with favor.
🛡️ Responsibility:
- Evaluate how you’ve treated God’s presence.
- Make room—daily—for intentional time with Him. Protect that space.
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the blessing of Your presence. I treasure You more than anything You can give me. Dwell in my life richly, and let my home be a place where You are honored every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
🔥 Prophetic Declaration:
Because I host God’s presence, my home is blessed. My family is blessed. Everything around me comes under divine alignment. The King dwells here—and where the King is, there is no lack! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
📖 Bible Texts:
2 Samuel 6:6-11, Exodus 33:15
