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

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. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
