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

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...
