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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

January Saturday 18th TOPIC: HOW TO ATTAIN BIBLE HOLINESS TEXT: Romans 6:20-23 KEY VERSE: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Besides the essential knowledge of the holy life of a Christian, it is good to understand the manner and process of becoming holy before God. Holiness of life is a life that has overcome sin through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. It is a life that does not commit sin. 1John 3:9 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. Getting this experience requires four things: 1. Know that apart from holiness, there is no alternative lifestyle for heaven. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holin...
