Psalm 100:4-5 (ESV) Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His name! For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.
Dare: what does it mean to enter His Gates?
Femi: it means to come into the presence of the Lord
Dare: but the Lord now dwells within us through His spirit, why do I need to enter His presence again.
Femi: Because right now you are in my presence. Even though the Lord dwells within you, you need to enter His presence. His presence is a higher place your spirit can access. This is possible because He dwells in you. The Lord dwells in you, but He also wants you to dwell in His presence.
The Lord says ‘where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them’ (Matt 18:20). One thing we must always do when we gather in His name is to give Him thanks and praise Him. The Lord inhabits the praises of His people (see Psalm 22:3). This means where His people praise Him, there He is.
When you give God thanks and praise from your heart, it ushers you into a higher spiritual realm more easily. This realm is called the divine realm.
Go into today remembering that the easiest way to ascend to His presence is through thanksgiving and praise. This is a realm that is most powerful. This is the realm where we multiply grace and receive wisdom. God’s will is for us to dwell in His presence always. This is the reason He wants us to be thankful and joyful always (see 1 Thess 5:16-18).
Prayer: Father I ask that you help me dwell in your presence always.
—Abraham Damilola Arigi
