God bless you for taking your time to study.

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

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...
