TOPIC: DANGER OF UNSANCTIFIED HEART.

TEXT: EZEKIEL 36: 25 – 27 

WEDNESDAY JULY 27th

Key verse: Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 
Sanctification is a Christian experience in which a believer receives inner cleansing from sins and is purged from inward struggles and defilements such as pride, jealousy, anger, malice, hatred, lust, greed, bitterness, evil thoughts, envy etc. Sanctification does to a believer what rinsing does to a cloth that was washed with detergent. After salvation experience, a believer needs Sanctification for heart purity and holiness. A believer that is saved needs to pray in faith in order to receive this experience. It makes one’s heart clean and pure. Sanctification comes after one is saved. 
Sanctification also means dedication, consecration and set apart for God’s use. This work of grace makes one not to commit sin. “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and He cannot sin, because He is born of God. (1 John 3:9)  When the heart is pure, the mouth will produce clean words. The eye will love to see undefiled things. The ear will also love to hear gracious words and detest sinful acts like worldly music and the rest. Sanctification is holiness.
It is commonly noticed that after salvation experience, the heart often manifests some inbred sins. This was manifested in the lives of the disciples of Jesus. “And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest” (Luke 22:24) Can you see self-seeking? The self in them was not destroyed even though they were saved. There was fleshly struggle and self-promotion. May be you are the same. Born again but you can still notice some carnality in you. You want people to recognize you. You can notice envy in you. You harbour bitterness against someone. It means your heart is not sanctified. This means Holiness is not complete in you. The Bible says without Holiness, no man shall see the Lord. It is dangerous for a believer to live with unsanctified heart. 

Thought for the day: It takes purity of heart to see the Lord. Be pure in heart.

 Song for the day: Sanctify me Lord, purify me Lord, make me Holy…. 

Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 50-52; Acts 27:1-25

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 ...
