For taking your time to study remain blessed.
OCTOBER Wednesday 24th
TEXT: John 17: 14-20
KEY VERSE: Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17: 17
The Gospel of Sanctification deals with inner cleansing, inner purity, the purity of heart. The believer has become part of the church. The Bible says, Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. For God so loved the world that He gave Jesus for it on the cross. Christ now loved the church and gave Himself for it. The death on the cross has dual purpose:
(1). Bring the sinner to salvation in Christ;
(2). Bring the believer to sanctification and purity of the heart. 
So that is the message the believers need to hear: that your heart can be purified. It is just like when your cloth is dirty, you carry it to water and wash it, when you wash it in water you do another thing to it. What do you do? You rinse it. You carry it to another water to rinse it, at the first washing, dirt came out but there are still some lines, some remnants that the next water can cleanse out. At salvation much is done in your life, you are saved from sins but then, there are remnants which you still need sanctification to arrive at perfect cleansing.
Jesus Christ prayed for the disciples asking for a second definite experience called sanctification. He said, they are not of the world again, they have been saved from their sins, they are already consecrated to God because the word, sanctify means two things. (1). Consecrate or dedicate and (2). Purify. They are already consecrated to you; they are not of the world anymore; they are now for you; they are separated from the world; but now, sanctify them. Do cleansing in their hearts, purify them. For their sakes I consecrated myself, the second meaning of sanctification. For their sake I sanctified, consecrated myself, and dedicated myself that they also may be sanctified, cleansed, and purged through the truth. Sanctification is by the word, you are born again by the word and you are sanctified by the word. So sanctification is required in your life. How does it come? The Bible tells us as the sinner gets born again by faith so the believers should also be sanctified by faith.
Thought for the day: Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Song for the day: Jesus only is our message
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 11-13; 1 Timothy 4

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
