TOPIC: DANGER OF UNSANCTIFIED HEART

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: DANGER OF UNSANCTIFIED HEART.

TEXT: EZEKIEL 36: 25 – 27 

WEDNESDAY JULY 27th

Key verse: Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 
Sanctification is a Christian experience in which a believer receives inner cleansing from sins and is purged from inward struggles and defilements such as pride, jealousy, anger, malice, hatred, lust, greed, bitterness, evil thoughts, envy etc. Sanctification does to a believer what rinsing does to a cloth that was washed with detergent. After salvation experience, a believer needs Sanctification for heart purity and holiness. A believer that is saved needs to pray in faith in order to receive this experience. It makes one’s heart clean and pure. Sanctification comes after one is saved. 
Sanctification also means dedication, consecration and set apart for God’s use. This work of grace makes one not to commit sin. “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and He cannot sin, because He is born of God. (1 John 3:9)  When the heart is pure, the mouth will produce clean words. The eye will love to see undefiled things. The ear will also love to hear gracious words and detest sinful acts like worldly music and the rest. Sanctification is holiness.
It is commonly noticed that after salvation experience, the heart often manifests some inbred sins. This was manifested in the lives of the disciples of Jesus. “And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest” (Luke 22:24) Can you see self-seeking? The self in them was not destroyed even though they were saved. There was fleshly struggle and self-promotion. May be you are the same. Born again but you can still notice some carnality in you. You want people to recognize you. You can notice envy in you. You harbour bitterness against someone. It means your heart is not sanctified. This means Holiness is not complete in you. The Bible says without Holiness, no man shall see the Lord. It is dangerous for a believer to live with unsanctified heart. 

Thought for the day: It takes purity of heart to see the Lord. Be pure in heart.

 Song for the day: Sanctify me Lord, purify me Lord, make me Holy…. 

Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 50-52; Acts 27:1-25

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 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
