Absolute Holiness || E.A. Adeboye

The God we serve is holy. In Him is found no deceit. We were purchased back unto Him through the sacrificial blood of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. And with ‘an holy calling’ He called us;

2 Timothy 1:9 (KJV)- “Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.”

The art of holiness is not something one can attain with his or her strength. Your human abilities are limited beyond perfection. It takes the power of God in the person of the Holy Spirit to be able to live a holy life.

We live in such a pervasive world which when you’re not careful as a child of God your ways will be no different from them which of the world.

Holiness isn’t achieved by following laws. It comes only through the acceptance of the grace of God, that is, allowing the Spirit of God to help you.

Listen to the message of Pastor E.A. Adeboye as he preaches on holiness.

Be blessed.

Holiness and Integrity - Myles Munroe

February 3

Holiness means “one”—not the numeric value, but one in the sense of “complete.” Holiness connotes the concept of integrity, a quality God has because what He says, what He does, and who He is are the same. God always does what He says He will because He is one with Himself.

God’s presence cannot abide anything that isn’t holy. In the Old Testament, anyone who entered His presence without being holy died. God warned the priests, in effect, “Do not come into My presence unless you are holy, because I am holy. Coming without being holy will destroy you.” Those who perished in this way died because holiness and impurity cannot coexist. The pure alone will see God. (See Matthew 5:8.) When we pray, we must have integrity. God says, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). We can’t just say we seek God; we must really seek Him if we want to find Him. We must determine, like Jacob, “God, I’m not going to let You go until I see you.” (See Genesis 32:24–30.) What does it mean to “see” God in relation to prayer? The Scriptures say, “Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD” (Exodus 14:13; 2 Chronicles 20:17 NKJV). In essence, God says, “If you are holy, then I will manifest Myself to you. You will see My salvation in your life.” If you are convinced that He will do what He has promised, then you will see Him answer prayer. In this sense, holiness is being convinced that what God says and what He does are equivalent.

Prayer:

Father God, You are holy because Your words, actions, and identity are one. Help me to be holy as You are holy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Thought: If you are holy, what you believe, say, and do will be the same.

Reading: Exodus 31–33; Matthew 22:1–22
