Exhortation:
If you must please God, holiness is not an option. It is the only way to see God. To be holy is to love righteousness and to hate iniquity.
These days, it seems many find it difficult to even know what is good or evil. You know why? So many things that are evil in the sight of God are acceptable by Men; in fact, even legalized. But the foolishness of God is wiser than Men.
God’s ways are not our ways. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death- Proverbs 14:12
There are certain things that make holiness difficult for many. One of them is bad company. The word of God says, “Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 1 Corinthians 15:33. There is an adage among my people that says, “A sheep that keeps company with dogs will end up eating faeces.”
If you must live a holy life, after surrendering your life to Jesus Christ, you need to cut off from every influence of sin.
Pay attention to the word of God which says, “Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live together? How can Christ and the Devil agree? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
How can God’s temple come to terms with pagan idols? For we are the temple of the living God! As God himself has said, “I will make my home with my people and live among them; I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”And so the Lord says, “You must leave them and separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with what is unclean, and I will accept you.I will be your father, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 GNB
Prayer Nugget: Father, I ask for the grace to separate myself unto holiness in Jesus name.
