EMBRACE HOLINESS

October 19, 2013

In Gen 17, when the Lord appeared unto Abram, the instruction given him was, “walk before me, and be thou perfect.” As a result of the perfect walk with God, God told father Abram that He would make His covenant between Him and Abram, and will multiply him exceedingly. Holiness is key to accessing God’s throne. Heb 12:14 says, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.”

Psa 24 says that the only man that shall ascend into the hill of the LORD or who shall stand in his holy place is that man that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.  As a result of his holiness, He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

What is holiness? I define holiness as total obedience of God’s commandments. No wonder, Isa 1:19 says, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.” And Matt 6:33 says, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Job 22:23-24 says, “If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.”

God is not interested in your sorrow or lack, but your part of the deal is to live holy and watch God do His own part. Embrace holiness; do away with all forms of iniquity; adultery, fornication, fraud, idolatry, deceit and all. Remember that sin sinks and the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus.

Pray with me, Lord, please help me to live holy all the days of my life in Jesus Name. Amen!
