DATE: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2023.


THEME: THE WORKS OF GRACE lll


MEMORISE: 

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 

1 Corinthians 6:11 


READ: 1 Thessalonians 4:2 -7


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


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


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


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


6 That 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.


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


MESSAGE


We looked at the first two works of grace over the past two days and would be discussing the third work of grace today. The third work of grace happens after we have become children of God through the blood of Jesus cleansing us of all sins. The Lord at this stage, brings closer to Himself a select group. Matthew 22:14 says: "For many are called, but few are chosen". This chosen few become what l would like to call the favorites of the Almighty God.


In the olden days, a king could have as many wives as he wanted, but there would still be one who would be his favorite. After salvation, there is always a select group of people who are just closer to God than everyone else. They are not like every else- they love God more; they serve Him more committedly. These are the ones who don't come for what they can get; they serve Him whatever the cost. We call these people the Sanctified - people who are set apart for God. 


Now, these people who are sanctified are given a new heart. Ezekiel 36:26 says" A new heart also will l give you, and a new spirit will l put within you: and l will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and l will give you an heart of flesh". Many Christians never get to this level before they die and that is a pity. This is why we have so many Christians, yet, only a few are actually living holy.


The one that the Almighty God is going to set apart for Himself must be completely dead to the world. He must be put to sleep so soundly that there is nothing anybody can do that will distract his attention from God. These are the ones who will say like Paul in Galatians 2:20: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless l live; yet not l, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which l now live in the flesh l live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."


In the past, one of the ways by which we identified these sanctified people is that they are difficult to annoy. They are so occupied with their Groom - the Lord Jesus Christ, that there is very little you can do to offend them. Sanctified people are those who will suffer any wrong calmly, rather than allow an unbeliever to say, "And you call yourself a child of God".


PRAYER POINT


Pray to God to sanctify you, your household and every member of your local assembly.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 44-46


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE



HY MN 7: I AM THINE O LORD


1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,


  And it told Thy love to me;


But I long to rise in the arms of faith,


  And be closer drawn to Thee.


 

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,


  To the cross where Thou hast died;


Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,


    To Thy precious, bleeding side.


2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,


  By the pow’r of grace divine;


Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,


  And my will be lost in Thine.


3 O the pure delight of a single hour


  That before Thy throne I spend,


When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,


  I commune as friend with friend!


4 There are depths of love that I yet may know


  Ere Thee face to face I see;


There are heights of joy that I yet may reach


  Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

THEME: THE WORKS OF GRACE ll


MEMORISE: 

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 

Ezekiel 36:25 


READ: Isaiah 1:18 


18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.


MESSAGE


We identified the first work of grace to be God's call to man for salvation. Once a person heeds this call and surrenders all to God, He moves on to the next work of grace - salvation.


But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.


1 John 1:7


Salvation is the point at which God blots out all your sins of the past and gives you a clean slate to start with. Many people find it hard to believe that God can cleanse their sins completely, but that is the exact truth. It doest matter how badly you have sinned, Jesus can make you a new creature in Him. That is why the salvation experience is referred to as being 'born again". The devil has no grounds to accuse you of any past sin. 


When you become saved, the first thing you will notice is that you experience peace like a river. This is because sin is a weight on your heart. Matthew 11:28-30 says after Jesus draws you and you come to Him, if you decide to take His yoke on yourself, He will take your burden and then you will have rest. The burden He takes from you is the burden of sin. Once that burden is lifted, your soul will be at peace. This peace is difficult to describe but when you experience it, you will know. If you have never experienced it before, then you need Jesus to save you and cleanse you from all sins. If you don't have that peace anymore, you need to run back to your Saviour and rededicate your life to Him.


The second thing that marks the salvation experience is joy - joy of the Lord. It will be impossible to hide this type of joy. The Monday after l gave my life to Christ, when l got to work, my Head of Department could practically see that l was radiating with joy. He asked if l had attended a party during the weekend. I told him l hadn't attended any party, but l got an invitation to a wedding where l am the bride and Jesus is the groom. Once your sins are cleared, your soul begins to rejoice. Anyone who backslides always notices that the joy they used to feel is gone. That is why David said in Psalm 51:12 that God should restore unto him the joy of salvation .


PRAYER POINT 

Father, please wash me clean with your blood.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 41-43


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 2: AMAZING GRACE


1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,


  That saved a wretch; like me!


I once was lost, but now am found,


  Was blind, but now I see.


2 ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,


  And grace my fears relieved;


How precious did that grace appear


  The hour I first believed!


3 The Lord hath promised good to me,


  His word my hope secures;


He will my shield and portion be


  As long as life endures.


4 When we’ve been there ten thousand years,


  Bright shining as the sun,


We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise


  Than when we first begun
