TOPIC: THE DOCTRINES OF SANCTIFICATION AND HOLY GHOST BAPTISM   October Sunday 20th
TEXT: John 17: 1-26
KEY VERSE: John 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”
Sanctification is a biblical word that carries two meaning in the Bible. This first meaning is separation, dedication, set apart to God for holy use. In this respect, persons, things, and places can be sanctified or set apart unto God. In this respect Jesus was sanctified by God the Father for human salvation; Jesus sanctified Himself for the holiness of the believers.

The second biblical meaning of the word sanctification reveals sanctification as a second definite experience required in a believers by which the Holy Spirit by means of Christ’s word and His blood renders a believer purified for inherited sin, original sin, inbred sin that often weighs down the heart of a believers, the sinful pollution of pride, envy, greed, malice, anger and the likes. Sanctification experience is required to clear such from the heart and life of the believers in order to make him free and give him the gracious ability to operate and increasing holy life.

Simply put, salvation experience does in a sinner what water and detergent does to a dirty clothe. Sanctification experience rinses the cloth already washed. Both are separate experiences, but required for wholesome cleansing. As the sinners exercises faith and prays to Jesus Christ for his salvation from sin, the believers come to Christ in faith and pray to received sanctification of heart for an increasing holiness and Christ’s love in Him. John 17:14-20. Ephesians 5:24-27; Acts 26:18. Sanctification also means purity, holiness, heart circumcision.

Baptism of the Holy Ghost is the imparting of the power of the Holy Spirit in baptismal measure upon a believer in Christ. This experience is called the promise of effective Christian service. Speaking in tongues by the Holy Ghost is initial evidence that one has been baptized with the Holy Spirit. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are valid to today. These are specified in Luke 24:48-49; Acts 1:4,5,8; 1Corinthians 12:7-11.
Thought for the day: Salvation and sanctification are required for wholesome cleansing
Song for the day: Make me holy
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 3-4; 2 Thessalonians 3

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 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...
