LETS PRAY 🙏

 Isaiah 35:8 (KJV)  And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. May the Lord by His mercy smoothen our way and perfect our knowledge of Him in Jesus mighty name.

THEME: THE WORKS OF GRACE IV


MEMORISE: 

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 

Acts 1:8 


READ: Ezekiel 36:27 -28


27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.


28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.


MESSAGE


As we continue with our study of the works of grace, we will consider the baptism of the Holy Spirit today. After God has enabled you to do His will voluntarily without being forced, He will then baptise you in His Spirit. When we were younger Christians, we were told, "You must be sanctified before you begin to ask for baptism in the Holy Spirit". The Holy Ghost baptism is very dangerous, so much so that it can even destroy a person.


In those days, people gave offerings voluntarily- nobody needed to preach to you.  We were willing to spend and be spent for the One who saved us; He had given us a new heart - a heart of flesh. In those days, you couldn't become a worker in the church until you were sanctified because worker willingly surrendered their time and resources to God. After you have become sanctified, God can then trust you with His Holy Spirit and power. The Holy Spirit cannot live in a heart that is stubborn, unruly and disobedient.


Baptism in the Holy Spirit comes with power (Acts 1:8) and thus, you need to be sanctified before that can happen. Beloved, the Holy Spirit is like a bomb. Nobody will give a bomb to someone who is not broken. When you join the army, they take you through a series of training programmes and by the time they are finished with you, you would almost be like a zombie. You would begin to do everything they ask of you without questions. When you become a Christian, you have joined the army of the Lord and until you are thoroughly broken, He won't give you His power. Don't mind those who pretend to be operating in the power of God while their behaviors are not portraying Christ; Simon the sorcerer could perform some magic. If you want the true power of God, you must be sanctified first. Carnality must be gone from your life, so that He can release His power to you.


When the baptism in the Holy Ghost happens, one of the primary evidence will be speaking in tongues. No one will have to tell you what to say. The day l was baptised in the Holy Spirit, it was the Lord Himself who drove my car home because l wasn't in this world; all l knew was that l had no control over my tongue. That kind of true power is available for you, provided you are sanctified. After receiving this power, you then become a witness to Him as He said in Acts 1:8.


PRAYER POINT 


If you are sanctified but not yet baptised in the Holy Spirit, go ahead and ask God to baptised you now.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 47-48


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME


1 All hail the power of Jesus' name!


Let angels prostrate fall.


Bring forth the royal diadem,


and crown him Lord of all.


Bring forth the royal diadem,


and crown him Lord of all!


2 O seed of Israel's chosen race


now ransomed from the fall,


hail him who saves you by his grace,


and crown him Lord of all.


Hail him who saves you by his grace,


and crown him Lord of all!


3 Let every tongue and every tribe


responsive to his call,


to him all majesty ascribe,


and crown him Lord of all.


To him all majesty ascribe,


and crown him Lord of all!


4 Oh, that with all the sacred throng


we at his feet may fall!


We'll join the everlasting song


and crown him Lord of all.


We'll join the everlasting song


and crown him Lord of all.

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.
