SANCTIFICATION COMES AFTER SALVATION

For taking your time to study remain blessed.
MONDAY 4 OCTOBER 

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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
