Prayer and Bible Nuggets 0402

The sanctification Process II – Your Responsibility

Bible Nugget 0402 [I Thessalonians 4: 1-8 KJV]
1Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

 2For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

 3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

 4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

 5Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

 6That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

 7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

 8He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

The sanctification process is the responsibility of every believer after new birth in Christ. The will of God stated in verses 3 and 7 in the above scripture is that we should live a sanctified and holy life. There should be no excuses. During repentance every believer should take stock of his life and make sure he repents of every known sin. No extra baggage of sin should be taken in the life-long Christian journey with Christ. The commonly known sins which will prevent a person from going to heaven include the works of the flesh listed in Galatians 5: 19-21 (read it for yourself) and Rev 21:8

 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

However, many believers gloss over many sins as if they do not matter. Some even believe the theory of heretics who profess that “once saved, saved forever”. The truth is that no sin should be left handing over your head as a believer. The last verse of Galatians 5:21 makes one to understand that the lists of sins that will prevent someone from inheriting the kingdom of God are too many to recount. I took a stock of sins in my own life from a Prayer book, which actually should serve every believer as a deliverance manual, written by some Ministers in Christian Word Ministry. They have a free version of the manual on the Ministry’s website. Please visit their website www.christianword.org  and in the Box Prayer Book  click  the PDF or Word Format of the Part 2 Download Prayer Book,. Read the” A” to “Z” list of sins for yourself on pages 35-38 of the book and it will be clear to you the common sins easily omitted or brushed aside, not knowing that any of them could prevent someone from inheriting the Kingdom of God.

For example the “A” list of sins in the book includes the following:

abandonment, abduction, abhorrence of holy things, abhorring judgment, abomination, abortion, abusiveness, accusation, adulterous lust, adultery, afflicting others, aggravation, agitation, aiding and abetting sin, alcoholism, all unrighteousness, anger, animosity, anxiety, apprehension, argumentativeness, arrogance, assaults, astrology, atheism, avariciousness,

The “D” lists are:

dealing treacherously, deceit, deception, defamation, defeatism, defiantness, defiling, degrading, dejection, demon consciousness, demon worship, denying Jesus and His resurrection, dependencies, depravity, desecration of holy vessels, desires of this world, despair, despising God, His Name and His Word, despising spouse, despising neighbors, despising parents, despitefulness, despondency, destruction of the innocent, saints and holy things;  deviousness, disagreements, disbelief, discord, discouragement, discrediting, disdain, disgust, dishonesty, disliking the love of good men, disobedience, disobedient to God, disorderly, disputing, disregard of God’s work, disrespectfulness of God, disruptiveness,  dissension,  distantness, distrust, divining, divining for water with rods, divining for money, division, divorce, domineeringness, double-talking,  double mindedness, doubt, dread, driving men from true worship and inheritance,  drug abuse, drunkenness, duplicity, drinking blood,

And the “F” lists include

failure in duty,  failure to glorify God, false burdens, false compassion, falsehood, false praise, false responsibility, fantasizing, fantasy lust, fault finding, fear, fear of accusation, fear of condemnation, fear of disapproval, fear of man, fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of reproof, fetishes, fighting, flattery, fleshliness, fooling self and/or others, foolishness,  following any ways of man, folly, forbidding the preaching of God’s Word, forcefulness, forgetting God and His work, fornication, forsaking the assembly, fortune telling, fraud, fretting, frigidity,  frustrations, fury,

These are just examples of listed sins. There are other demonic sins listed in pages 38-40 of the book and it will do you a world of good to pray out of your life every sin using the book as a guide. As verse 4 of the day’s bible nugget says, it is your responsibility; someone else cannot do it for you. The challenge is yours.

1Thessalonians 4:4

 

 4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

Carry out a check-up of your life. In fact, you should do this from time to time and run through the list of sins, for example in the reference prayer manual stated above and see areas of your shortcoming.  The LORD will empower you to live a Holy and sanctified life as you pour out your heart to him in repentance. Pray every known sin out of your life and appropriate to yourself the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

 

 

1 Corinthians 1:30

30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

This is the way to way to go in the sanctification process to make you heaven bound! The LORD help you as you do this in Jesus Name. Amen.
 
Prayer Nugget 0402
Before you start praying, sing this song or any other song on holiness such as the Hymn Holy Holy Holy.
Song:
LORD prepare me, A sanctuary, Pure and Holy, Tried and True, with Thanksgiving, I will be a living, sanctuary for you.

Or the classical hymn  Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

 

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

 

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

 

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

[Reginald Heber, 1826]

Prayer Points

 

  1. Oh Lord empower me to live a life of holiness unto you. I repent of every sin I have committed in the past, known (list ——- every known sin) and unknown in Jesus Name.
  2. Satan I address you, I am not a candidate for hell fire. My destination is heaven. I command you to pack your evil load and get out of my life in Jesus Name.
  3. Oh LORD encase me with the purifying fire of you Holy Spirit. Every demonic power sent from the pit of Hell to deceive me, be roasted by fire in the name of Jesus.
  4. Begin to thank God for the Grace given to you to live a victorious life of holiness in Jesus name.
