God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study

TOPIC: HOW TO BE HOLY AND MAINTAIN THE HOLY LIFE

TEXT: EZEKIEL 36:25-27  

FRIDAY JULY 7TH

Key verse: Ephesians 5: 27 That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”
God demands holiness from His people because holiness is His nature. Everything associated with Him is holy. His name is holy; His word is holy; His angels are holy; His abode, heaven, is holy; His saints are holy. When Satan and his angels came short of His holiness standard, He drove them away from heaven and condemned them to everlasting fire. Heaven is eternally holy. Jesus came to this world to save men from sin and make them holy so they can be with Him in His eternal dwelling place. 
The instruments God uses to make men holy are the blood of Jesus, the word of God, the Holy Spirit, the name of Jesus, and of course His holy ministers, who teach and lead men to holiness. The holy life does not commit sin, loves God wholeheartedly, loves men sincerely, and keeps all God's commandments. Holiness begins at the salvation of the soul, deepens at the sanctification of the heart, and is established by personal discipline and diligence in keeping God's word. Hence the holy life requires the unified actions of both God and the believer. 
The believer submits himself to God to make him holy and diligently exercises himself to obey and practice the word of God. To obey God regularly requires faith in God and regular prayer for His grace. Several scriptures in both the old and new testaments show the promises of God to make you holy and the means He has provided to make you holy. God who makes you holy can preserve you in His holiness to the end of your life. Pray earnestly through faith in Christ and receive a clean, pure, and holy heart and life from God. Persist in prayer until you have the witness, assurance, and evidence. 

Thought for the day: Pray on until you have the witness, assurance, and evidence. 

Song for the day: O yes, He answers prayers

Bible reading for the day: Job 35-37; Acts 14

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
