SANCTIFICATION AND HEART PURITY

God bless you for taking the time to study.

SANCTIFICATION AND HEART PURITY 
TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 5:23 

THURSDAY MARCH 9th 

Key verse: Leviticus 20:7, 8. Sanctify yourselves, therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctifies you. 
Sanctification and heart purity are one of the doctrines that Jesus commanded His disciples to teach but many are either not aware of this doctrine or are deliberately unwilling to believe it, talk less of teaching it. Others contend against the meaning of sanctification. Sanctification is the second definite experience of grace after salvation whereby a believer’s heart is made free from sin. John Wesley of blessed memory was a pioneer in the doctrine of sanctification. He brought it out in the 17th century. All holiness churches down the ages have taught and experienced this definite work of grace. 
Sanctification has to do with cleansing the soul of man from sin and all kinds of impurities. Our key verse says, “Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctifies you.” For a soul to be sanctified there is a need for dual commitment to the exercise. God has His part to play and man has his part to play. It requires man’s action and God’s stamp of approval. If you do your part of purging yourself from sin, God does His part of giving you the experience of sanctification. It is like salvation that you have to do your part of believing while the Lord saves. Both God and man share responsibility in the cleansing called sanctification. The sinful nature inherited from Adam that makes for malice and wickedness has to be handled. 
In Acts 15:8-9 and Matthew 5:8, we understand that sanctification deals with the heart to purify it from sin to enable righteousness and holiness. In this state, you can freely express Christian virtues in Galatians 5:22-23. To receive sanctification, the following are necessary; knowledge of the truth, faith in God, and cooperation with God for self-cleansing. Make efforts to be at peace, pay debts, forgive, and stay free from sin. Ask Jesus to sanctify you. Sanctification and heart purity are for holy living. Get sanctified and you can live with the experience of lifelike Apostle Paul in Acts 24:16

Thought for the day: It is time to be free from all impurities.

Song for the day: Sanctify me, purify me, sanctify me oh Lord.   
Bible reading for the day: Deuteronomy 8-10; Mark 12:28-44

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 ...
