1 Corinthians 6:20 (NET)
For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
Fatima’s stepmother hated her more when she heard Fatima had accepted the Lord Jesus. Fatima’s stepmother had always hated her because Fatima was more brilliant than her children and was her father’s favorite, but this time, the hatred had gone to another level. Fatima’s stepmother planned to put strong poison in Fatima’s food.
After purchasing the poison and perfecting her plan, she had a scary dream in which a man appeared to her and warned her not to poison Fatima because Fatima was now his property. Because of this warning from the Lord, Fatima’s stepmother was now afraid of Fatima. She knew she was going to be in trouble in she did anything to hurt Fatima.
One reason believers enjoy supernatural divine protection is because our bodies are not their own, we have been bought with a price, and God watches over us jealously. But when believers fail to honor God with their bodies by committing sexual immorality, they transgress the spiritual order and can be exposing themselves to demonic assaults.
If a believer commits sexual immorality, he defiles his body which is God’s temple, and the Holy Spirit is not comfortable in a defiled temple.
Go into today remembering that you have been bought with a price. Ask the Lord to empower you to walk always in this consciousness.
