DATE: WEDNESDAY 4TH NOVEMBER 2026
TOPIC: PURIFY YOURSELF
MEMORIZE:
"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." James 4:8 (KJV)
BIBLE READING: NUMBERS 8:5-11
5 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
8 Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.
9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
MESSAGE:
Many years ago, I attended a Pentecostal conference in Kenya, where several anointed and popular ministers in the Pentecostal movement at the time were present. Even though I was not invited, I attended anyway because I was so hungry for God. Towards the end of the conference, we had a session titled ‘meditation.’ During this session, someone played the guitar and sang choruses, while the rest of us prayed in the Spirit. I was meditating when suddenly, I was transported to heaven.
It was an open vision because I wasn’t sleeping. I found myself in a very large room, which looked like a dome. There was someone sitting on a throne extremely far away. Angels stood on both sides of the room, millions of them to my right, and millions of them to my left. They were quite huge, and their appearance is very difficult to describe. They were not white; there are just no words to describe them. The closest I can get to describing them is when you put clear water in a crystal glass; there is no word to describe that type of colour.
When I turned to the right, the angels to my right moved back; when I turned to the left, the angels to my left also moved back. None of them said a word, but it occurred to me to take a look at myself. When I did, I noticed that I was completely naked and was covered with all kinds of rubbish as if I had just been pulled out of a sewer. On noticing that, I understood why the angels moved away from me, and the vision vanished suddenly. After seeing that, I told the Almighty God, “When I return to that throne room, I won’t come dirty.” That is the reason holiness has become a priority to me.
Beloved, without holiness, no man can see God (Hebrews 12:14). If you are still living in sin, you cannot see God, and any man who cannot see God cannot have access to the good and perfect gifts that can only come from Him (James 1:17). Do not serve God with an impure heart. It is time to draw nearer to Him and ask Him to purify you from anything that might be preventing you from seeing Him. If you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13), and you will experience His goodness in all areas of your life.
REFLECTION:
Are you living a holy life and seeking God with all your heart?
