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

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
