Last week a servant of God ministered and he asked the people what garment are you wearing?is your garment washed in the blood of the lamb of God?are we still wearing the garment of disobedience,malice,slander,rage,unforgiveness,pride,fornication,lust,greed etc all this we know are idolatry,and Paul servant of God Apostle of Christ Jesus has asked us to put all this to death(col 3:5) and this hinders us from seeing the manifestation and the glory of God,this causes spiritual stagnation in our walk with the Lord Jesus Christ for if any man be in in Christ he is a new creature the old is gone and the new has come,and we know that in the Lord Jesus Christ there is no sin,no spot no wrinkle,no blemish.Well some may think well I'm not perfect and i can't attain to that level well Jesus told the disciples that he will send the holy spirit in his name who will teach us and remind us all things that our Lord Jesus taught the disciples so if you are a follower of Jesus you are not excluded.For it is God who works in you by his spirit and in the name of Jesus therefore the word of God should be your meditation and delight(Ps1).God who begun a good work in you shall bring it into completion(Philippians 1:6).Therefore let us examine ourselves if we are still in the walk or just talking the walk and not walking the walk are we dressed properly with the right garments?For God said through the Prophet Isaiah to us in Isaiah 1:16-19...Wash yourselves make yourselves clean,put away the evil o your doings from before my eyes.cease to do evil.learn to do good,seek justice,rebuke the oppressor,defend the fatherless,plead for the widow, Come now let us reason together,says the Lord,though your sins are like scarlet,they shall be as white as snow,though they are as red as crimson,they shall be as wool.If you are willing and obedient,you shall eat the good of the land...this verses always reminds me of how God still desires the best for us and to clothe us properly how he is patient with us and always willing to save us even when we feel so unworthy but the invitation is still there for us to come to him and just trust and be obedient but when we read further down vs 20 But if you refuse and rebel.You shall be devoured by the sword.For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.well my brothers and sisters i would love to encourage us to just be who God has called us to be and walk in obedience to his word so that we shall not be devoured,or dwell in a sun scorched land,let us be clothed in the righteousness of God that comes by faith in Jesus his only begotten son who knew no sin but became sin for us,who continually stands in the gap to intercede for us,God is calling us to repentance,to renew our minds in his word,forsake our evil thoughts and do good one to another.Higher height in God and a new Level in God through Christ Jesus our Lord.Let us therefore do what God has commanded us not only to talk the walk but to walk the walk and talk the talk.Be exceedingly blessed always and Let the peace of God reign in your heart and mind always....Love you all

ReplyDelete1.Thanks for the exhortation that will continue to compel us to flee sin by drenching our garments in the blood of Jesus.
ReplyDeleteTruly if anyone claims to be his, he should not sin as we know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin (1 John 5:18) and as they abide in Him they should inevitably cease to sin (1Jn3:6).
