RESTORATION TODAY
SATURDAY 4TH FEBRUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: SANCTIFICATION [1].
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12: 1.
By placing faith in Jesus Christ, a person becomes a new believer and is sanctified, that is, set apart for God's purposes.
Unlike salvation, which takes place in a single moment, sanctification is a lifelong process. As we let the Holy Spirit control our lives, we are being sanctified and progressively maturing in our faith. And if we are progressing, we must be working our way toward something. The apostle Paul explained the Christian's mission: For those whom [God] foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son (Romans 8: 29).
A believer's character, conduct, and conversation should be reflections of Jesus, who lives within. God has given each believer His Holy Spirit as a teacher and guide. The Spirit works to transform our minds and hearts so that we are markedly different from our unsaved peers. Our Father wants His children to be living examples of who He is. Hence, He shows us how to think and acts so we may walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which [we] have been called (Ephesians 4: 1).
ACTION POINTS
When we allow the Spirit to control us, we speak and act in accordance with our true identity as God's sons and daughters.
SCRIPTURES:
Romans 12: 1 - 3; 8: 29
Ephesians 4: 1.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, help me to grow to know You more in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, let Your Spirit guide and lead me today and always in the name of Jesus
3. Father, lift up my head today in the name of Jesus.
4. Lord, may I continue to grow in grace and in knowledge of You
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Genesis 41: 50 ? 42: 38
Psalm 19: 1 - 14
Matthew 24: 29 - 51.
