Holiness from within

DATE: September 4th, 2021

TOPIC: Holiness from Within

BIBLE TEXT: 1peter 1vs14 – As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance.

Vs15 – but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation.

Vs16 – because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Holiness can be perceived from a man’s conversation and way of life. Holiness is not based wholly on your dressing or outfit alone but also on your purity and cleanliness of thoughts and intents of your heart. Holiness from within a believer’s life is like a garment showing their true state and appearance before the Lord. Our Lord Jesus Christ addressed the Pharisees and other religious sects concerning holiness and what it stands for. Holiness is not a man-made doctrine but a nature and way of life, of righteous men and women.

Luke 11vs39 – And the Lord said unto him, “Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

Vs40 – Ye fools, did he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

We need to take care of our inner man by accepting clean thoughts according to God’s word in Philippians 4vs8. Our God is holy, Christ Jesus is holy and the Holy Spirit in total purity. Stop living a fake life or a deceitful one, you’ll end up deceiving yourself and misleading others. God wants our hearts and life to be holy, let us live by his words.

Prayers: Heavenly Father, I receive the grace to live a holy life from within to without in Jesus name.

Insight: Be ye holy, for God is holy.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
