TOPIC: JESUS WANTS HIS Church PURGED AND SANCTIFIED FROM SIN
TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:25-27
25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26. That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
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.
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.
Jesus did not want His gospel to be abused, that is why He said, "Father sanctify them. I am not physically with them in the world. If I were in the world, some of them will look at Me and hide themselves. For righteousness to flow freely among the overseers, chapter coordinators, pastors and teachers, choristers, ushers and members, you need to be sanctified.
If you are removed from the work, you will not have grudges against people, and your mind will be peaceful. The sinful nature is abusing the commission of holiness that God has given to HOREMOW. Due to the manifestation of adamic and carnal nature, people are withdrawing from God and His service. The adamic nature or inward pollution needs to be purged.
Go back to God for sanctification. John the Baptist overcame temptation to envy over the ministry of Jesus. They told him, "Do you know the other man you bore record of is baptizing more people than you? "John said, "You are witnesses, l told you that l am not He. He that is coming is greater than I, whose shoes latchet l am not worthy to stoop down and loose.” It takes sanctification of heart to say this. This is Holiness.
He does not want you to interfere with the Holy Spirit in His work among men in the church or in the world. Corrupt preachers make themselves kings and overshadow everybody. There is no righteousness in them. Everybody has his proper gift in the house of God. Why are you blocking people because of envy?
How can you achieve spiritual fullness, and how can the Holy Spirit have His way? You stand by the door and do not allow people to enter in. That is why you must be sanctified; free from strife, envy, anger, malice and pride. The love of God should make you humble, but Adamic nature in you does not allow this. The solution is sanctification.
Thought for the day. Maintain holiness and righteousness in the church.
Song for the day. I want to be like Jesus, O Lord I want to be like Jesus.
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 40-43
