SANCTIFICATION IS REQUIRED TO ENTER HEAVEN 
TEXT: Ephesians 5: 25-27 
Key verse:  1 Thessalonians 5: 23. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly and I 
pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming 
of our Lord Jesus Christ 

As Jesus prayed He said, “Thine they were and You have given them to Me. They have become mine.” He said this before he died showing that those He was praying for to be sanctified, were already believers. This was because the sacrifice for believers' sanctification was included in the redemptive plan of the Cross. The cross is first a sacrifice for sinners' salvation, then secondly a sacrifice for believers' sanctification. 

“Husbands love your wives even as Christ loved the church.” You have married already just as He has gotten the Church already to Himself and gave Himself for it. He died for them that He might sanctify them. It means to give you a step above salvation requires appropriating the benefits of the death of Christ. To bring you to holiness requires the application of the victory through the death of Christ. It is an experience of righteousness that removes carnality. You are sanctified so that you can be clean and holy without blemish or any such thing. That is God's desire for you and He is ready to do it for you. 

You may be a Christian but you are stubborn, yet you do not know why. The Bible says “consider them that minister among you and esteem them very highly in love.” This is not in you because there is something that looks stony in your heart. You know that you lack real respect, appreciation and gratitude towards leadership. This is the reason why when the leader gives you an assignment, you may not do it because the real fear and reverence for him are not in your heart. Your heart is dry but you profess to be born again. This is a clear manifestation of Adamic nature. Take yourself back to God to get those things removed. He will give you a heart of flesh so that your heart can be touched.

Thought for the day: Sanctification makes your heart feel real compassion, love, obedience, care and submission
Song for the day: Jesus only, Jesus ever, Jesus, all in all, we will sing, Savior,  Sanctifier, Healer, Baptizer and coming King
Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 7-9; Hebrews 10:24-39

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
