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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
