HEART SANCTIFICATION AND DAILY HOLY LIVING

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

DATE: SUNDAY 8th AUGUST

TOPIC: HEART SANCTIFICATION AND DAILY HOLY LIVING

TEXT: Matthew 12: 33-35 

Key verse:  Hebrews 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Sanctification has to do with the heart. The Bible teaches that when you make the heart clean, the mouth will be clean also. The heart is the seat of life and thoughts and from the heart proceeds good and evil thoughts. The heart controls you. 

The mouth does not speak by itself but what the heart supplies to it. The members of the body do not work by themselves but are directed by the heart. If you want the whole body to be controlled and directed properly, give your heart to the Lord. 

This is why God says “My Son, give me your heart” (Proverbs 23:26). If you give me your hand, your hand does not control the whole body; it can only touch some parts and not all parts of the body. If I say give me your eyes; your eyes cannot see everything in your life. 

But I ask that you give me your heart because it is the seat of man. It is the headquarters of man. It is from the heart that the blood is pumped to all parts of the body. The heart directs the other members of the body to do evil or to do good works. 

It is the heart that controls all actions – what you should do and what you should not do; what you should take and what you should not take; whether you should love God or not love Him; all these are from the heart. 

God is giving attention to your heart to make that heart clean and holy. If that happens, the righteousness and holiness He is looking for from you will be possible.

The key verse says, “Thou lovest righteousness and hateth wickedness.” That is why the Lord your God has promoted you above your fellows. If a church loves righteousness and hates wickedness, that church will be promoted by God. 

If a pastor loves righteousness and hates wickedness in practice, that pastor will be promoted by God. If a church member or a Christian loves righteousness; practically performs it and hates iniquity, that person will be promoted by God. 

We are in the time that God wants to make people holy and filled with love for righteousness, having put iniquity to death in their lives. Make this a prayer point and ask the Lord to do it in your life.

Thought for the day: Out of the heart are the issues of life. Guide it with diligence.

Song for the day: Take my heart and let it be, concentrated Lord to Thee….

Bible reading for the day:  Psalm 82-84; 

Romans 8:19-39   #Horemow

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
