Topic: Christian Cleansing
Bible Reading: Isaiah 52:1-3 (KJV)
1Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
3For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
KEY VERSE: “Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean” (Isaiah 52:1).
Message
Spiritual check-up should be a routine practice for Christians to maintain sanctity. It is your responsibility to cleanse yourself from all the filthiness that are flying all over your community. It starts by watching physically over what you allow into your life beginning from the books you read, the movies you watch, the friends you keep and so on. Unclean instruments will make you dirty and unacceptable in the sight of God. God wants His children to cleanse themselves and remain pure because He does not want to lose any of them to the devil and to hell, a place of eternal perdition.
Beloved, you are the holy city of God and “henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean” (Isaiah 52:1). Consciously pray to God for heart cleansing or sanctification experience where your adamic nature would be uprooted. Remember that heaven is for only those who are holy. Trust in God because He “is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy” (Jude: 24).
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, help me to live a clean life.
CHALLENGE
Be clean in an unclean generation.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
