CHOOSE TO BE SANCTIFIED
Memorise: And such were some of you: but
ye were washed, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the
Spirit of our God. 1st Corinthians 6:11
Read: 1st Thessalonians
5:22-24, Bible in one year: Judges 16:23-18:31, Mathew 27:15-44
It is the express will of God that every
believer is sanctified (1st Thessalonians 4:3). For us to become
vessels unto honour, fit for the Master’s use, we have to be fully sanctified
(1st Timothy 2:21). To be sanctified is to be separated unto the
process of becoming like Jesus Christ inn character (2nd Corinthians
3:18). Sanctification helps the believer to live a holy life. Right from
creation, God has always been in search of vessels of glorify. The Lord will
find you worthy for His glorious use in Jesus’ Name. Today, He is still looking
for men to honour by using them. One thing you must know is that the scarcity
of men is not the issue; it is the scarcity of sanctified vessels. A holy God
cannot fill unholy vessels. A vessel that God will use for doing great exploits
in life must be clean always. All those who are still finding it difficult to
deal with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life cannot
be used of God for honourable purpose. It is a great privilege for God to use a
person. God will never play your role even though He wants to honour you. You
must be made pure through and through by the Blood of Jesus. You must be
willing to resist ungodly thoughts and every other thing that has the
potentials of defiling you physically and spiritually. Sin makes a vessel
impure. The choice is yours to make.
The one who wants to be used and
honoured by God must refuse to compromise by following the norm (Daniel 1:8).
You cannot go far if you are not ready to be sanctified. You cannot be an
oracle of God if you are not ready to deny yourself of the present in order to
buy the future. God’s vessels are not democratically elected. His choices are
made based on what He deems fit for His purpose (Hebrews 2:4). The moment He
picks you and you are willing to leave your life in His hands, you will never
regret that you did. The call to sanctification is a clarion call to all. It is
a call of privilege to become a vessel of honour fit for the Master’s use. If
you accept and allow God to perfect His good works concerning you, you will
become a wonder to yourself. You must be willing to let go and let God work on
your weaknesses. You must be ready to decrease so that Christ may increase in
you. Give attention to the study of you word of God. Memorise it and do mall
that it commands. Do not love the world or the things that are in it. Beware of
pride, rebellion, envy, strife, ungodliness and uncontrollable desire for
wealth. Watch and pray. Do not allow anything stain your glorious garments. Get
back to God and remain connected to Him in all that you do.
Prayer Point
Father, sanctify me wholly from every
besetting sin by the Blood of Jesus shed on the cross.
