SATURDAY MANNA 17 AUGUST ‘24

“SAINT OF GOD, BE HOLY IN ALL MANNER OF CONDUCT & LIVING!”

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

“On the contrary, following the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in your entire way of life; since the Tanakh says, ‘You are to be holy because I am holy.’” (1 Peter 1:15-16)

As the One Who called us is holy, we ourselves also must be holy in all our conduct and manner of living. For it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy, said Adonai Yahweh!

Purity of life is a command from God. All through the Scriptures the clarion call of God unto His children is to be holy within and without.

Without holiness of life a Christian believer cannot maintain a blameless life before the Lord. God Almighty did not demand this experience in the land of Egypt or in the wilderness from the children of Israel.

But after they left, He commanded them to be holy as He is holy and to live a life of separation. This experience is a practical one that must be seen in our lives.

There must be holiness in all manner of life conversation, comportment, deeds, thoughts and relationships with one another. In all our services to the Lord, there must be purity of heart.

We must have purity of life and heart, not just the head knowledge. We must also recognise our spiritual inadequacies and crucify the flesh.

Our old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer ours, for the Anointed One lives His life through us. We live in union as one! Our new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves us so much that He gave Himself for us, dispensing His life into ours.

We must pray against unbelief and humble ourselves before God. After our salvation experience, we must seek God for sanctification experience as He promised.

“JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD IS THE WAY TO HOLINESS.”

Everybody shout, “THANK YOU, JESUS!”

Sabbath Shalom and good morning.
