SANCTIFICATION COMES AFTER SALVATION    
TEXT: PSALM 51: 1-3
Key verse: Psalm 51: 6 “Behold thou desirest truth in the inward parts; and the 
hidden part thou shall make me know wisdom”

Note that there are two types of sins: The actual sins which you are responsible for and the nature of sin that is inherited from Adam. These can be seen clearly from the prayer of David for forgiveness, restoration and inward cleansing. Psalm 51: 1 “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, according to to to unto the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions”. This means the transgressions are many. One of the transgressions was the immoral act David committed. Another one was that he was sent to kill Uriah. These are actual sins and he is asking God for forgiveness, not sanctification. The sinner and the backslider come to God for forgiveness. Sanctification comes after you have been forgiven and have become a believer. It is then you take your heart back to God for sanctification.

David goes further to tell us the second kind of sin. This one needs sanctification. Lord, I backslid and sinned, restore me. Forgive me, Lord, purge me again. He has gone further to ask for sanctification. In verse 5, he introduced the second kind of sin. Psalm 51: 5 “Behold I was sharpened in iniquity and sin did my mother conceive me.” 

David mentioned these sins. This was the same thing Jesus prayed for even after His disciples have been with Him for three and half years, He said they were no more of the world because they have received the word of God, he said sanctified them because of this Adamic nature which David referred to that gives rise to sin, actual and committed sin. In salvation, you are empowered against committed sin, but you can sin once in a while. You can fall and wonder what happened to you. There is an inner tension within which is also called the body of sin. God desires truth right inside. He wants to see through you but this inbred sin in man is pollution that must be taken away. 

Thought for the day: Sanctification comes after you have been forgiven and have become a believer
Song for the day: What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 29-30; Ephesians 6

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
