EXPLANATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

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

TOPIC: EXPLANATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

TEXT: MARK 16:15-16.  
THURSDAY AUGUST 31st

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.
Question: Please what are the principles of holiness?
Answer: To come to holiness, first tell the sinner to repent of his sins and give his life to Jesus Christ. Go to the sinners and preach the gospel, the good news of salvation in Christ to him. The kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Preach repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Then when the sinner believes in the Lord Jesus Christ he should be baptized according to the Word of God. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He believes and has received Christ into His life. He is now born again. He is now a child of God.
Then, to the child of God, there is still a gospel to be preached to him. What is the gospel? He is now a child of God; he belongs to the church. He has begun part of the body of Christ having repented and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is still a gospel for him; the gospel of Sanctification, inner cleansing, inner purity, and the purity of heart. The believer has become part of the church; Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. For God so loved the world and gave Jesus for it on the cross, Christ now loved the church and gave himself for it. The death on the cross has dual purposes: To bring the sinner to salvation in Christ and to bring the believer to sanctification and heart purity. Believers need to hear this message, that your heart can be purified. When your clothes are dirty, you wash them with water and soap and rinse them. You carry it to another water to rinse it; at the first water-dirt comes out but there are still some lines, some remnants that the next water can cleanse out. At salvation much is done in your life, you are saved from sins, but then there are remnants which you still need sanctification to arrive at for perfect cleansing. 

Thought for the day: Peace, Purity, and Power are available for believers in Christ

Song for the day: Peace, purity, power; all mine in the Lord…

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 145-147; 1 Corinthians 11:1-15

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
