THE DOOR OF HOLY LIVING FRIDAY FEBRUARY 3
TEXT: I PETER 1: 15-16.
Key Verse: "And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of His Glory" Isaiah 6: 3.
Christianity is all about a holy God, who lives in a holy Heaven, and sent His holy son to the unholy earth to redeem sinful man from sin and make them holy in life that they may serve the holy God perpetually, and live with Him eternally. Holiness is the life style of God. God demands holiness from all those who serve him and profess that they know Him. God is holy and therefore demands holy service from all who are called by His name. To receive this experience of holiness, one must be saved from sin, converted, and genuinely born of the spirit. We cannot make it to heaven, without this spiritual experience of holiness. Holiness cannot be copied, or imitated, but can be lived, seen in our conduct and practically demonstrated in actions and behavior. There are two kinds of holiness such as outward holiness, and inward holiness.
In outward holiness, God requires us to cleanse ourselves from all outward impurities, and defilements. These include outright sanitization of our bodies, and physical out look. For example total removal of earrings, finger rings, nose rings, necklace, weave-on, hair attachment, strange hair dos, torn and faded jeans, permed and fried hair, torn skirt that reveals the laps or undies, mini-skirts, breasts revealing blouses/braziers, trousers for women, and many more from our bodies. In outward holiness, man does the cleansing and sanitization of his body, but in inward holiness God alone does the cleansing and purging. Inward holiness has to do with cleansing of the heart from inward impurities such as malice, lusts, evil thoughts, deceit, pride etc (Mark 7: 21-28). The choice is yours, as the key to the door of holy living is in your hands. You are the one to decide whether you will be holy or not, inward and outward. If you are ready and willing, the LORD is faithful and ever ready to do his part.
Thought for the day: Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth
Song for the day: Holy (7x) Holy is the LORD.......

August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
