IMPORTANCE OF SANCTIFICATION
SUNDAY MAY 21
TEXT: PSALM 23: 1 - 6
Key Verse: “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5: 8
Sanctification is the means by whereby we shall enter into the kingdom. It is called: holiness; purity of heart and cleansing from in-bred sin. It means dead to sin and the world. It is a desirable thing for every child of God. It will make us clean.
1) It will open the door of heaven you to enter. It is the boarding ticket to the kingdom of God.
2) Sanctification is the cure of sin that dwells in men.
3) Sanctification is the cure of bad habit. The apostles were born-again and saved but they were seeking for position when they were converted initially. Conversion alone without righteousness cannot open the gate of heaven for you.
4) Sanctification is the cure for a stony heart. It is at the point of sanctification that God will root out stony heart. Sanctification will remove stubborn heart.
5) It guarantees complete freedom from sin. It is holy life that guarantees you eternal life.
6) It guarantees you freedom from bad manners and the gift of the Holy Spirit;
7) It enables you to put off the old man that is corrupt.
Jesus saw the need of sanctification of His disciples. Jesus was really burdened about His disciples. The disciples were saved and not of the world; the world hated them. Yet it did not qualify them for going to heaven. Jesus prayed that God will keep them. Remember that you are not of the world; so will not live like the world. Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth. Your sanctification is dependent on the truth which is the word of God.
Thought for the day: Sanctify them through Thy truth, Thy word is truth.
Song for the day: You shall be holy unto Me, for I the Lord am holy.
Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 3-5; John 8:1-20
