 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

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

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...
