Topic: GOD’S REDEMPTION PLAN INCLUDES SANCTIFICATION OF BELIEVERS  December Wednesday 30th

Text: Ephesians 5:25-27

Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil and the very God of peace sanctify you wholly.


While praying for the disciples, the Lord Jesus Christ said, “Thine they were and You have given them to Me.” He laid claim to them because they have become children of God already. He said this before He died, showing that the people He was praying for their sanctification were already believers. He said this because God’s redemptive plan includes sacrifice for believers’ sanctification. The death of Jesus on the cross is first of all a sacrifice for sinners’ salvation, then a sacrifice for believers’ sanctification. 

As an illustration, today’s reading text says, “Husbands love your wives even as Christ also loves the Church.” You are married already, love your wife, even as Christ also has gotten believers saved already but gave Himself for them to be sanctified. He died for them that He might sanctify them. It means moving you a step above salvation required the death of Christ. To bring believers to holiness required the death of Christ. 


Sanctification is an experience of righteousness, as all the blemishes manifesting in the life of a believer are cleansed through sanctification experience. Carnality no longer manifests. You are sanctified so that you can be clean and holy, having no blemish, spot, wrinkle or any form of impurity. That is God’s desire for you and he is ready to do it for you as you make up your mind to fulfil the simple conditions of purpose of heart, decision and determination. Renounce, reject and refuse every appearance of sin and evil. Come to that state that you have made up your mind that sin will not have dominion over you and that sin will never rule your life. All carnality must be gotten rid of. Your heart shall not envy a man, nor lust after a woman. Hear righteous Job speak: “I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” (Job 31:1). Make up your mind to shun sin and live a life of holiness; and when you come to that level, it will be wonderful and great. It is then you are ready for sanctification. 


Thought for the day: Renounce, reject and refuse every appearance of sin or evil.

Song for the day: Lord prepare me a sanctuary, pure and holy.....

Bible reading for the day: 

Zechariah 13-14; Revelation 21

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
