Upholding His Holiness



One of the most awesome qualities about God is His Holiness: it is His nature, the reason why He is the source of light and life. The Seraphim while gazing at Him in Isaiah 6, even with their faces covered with two wings were unable to shield themselves from the penetrating power of the brightness of His Holiness. They could not help but cry out to one another “Holy! Holy! Holy is the Lord God Almighty, the whole earth is full of His Glory” (Isaiah 6: 3b).  This also must be the response of our heart as true sons and daughters of the Most High when we truly worship Him in spirit and in truth. Beloved we live in a time that perversity, vulgarity, jesting, foolish talking and uncleanness is regarded as correct and acceptable in the sight of many, while Holiness on the other hand is despised. That which was once sacred and held in reverence has now become the topic for public jesting and mockery. The Lord warned us in 2 Timothy 3:4 (MSG) that in the last days many would become unholy and allergic to God, which means that anything Holy would evoke negative reactions from them. Some will mock, some will fight, while others would just ignore it, but the truth of the matter is, God’s standard concerning holiness cannot be changed!
As precious sons and daughters of God that are blood washed and carry the anointing of God, we must uphold His holiness in the sight of a crooked and perverse world by living a life of holiness and righteousness. Our way of life is what the world is watching not the church we go to or the titles we hold. The Bible declares: “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14).  For our own sake and the sake of those around us that God needs to convict and purify, we must answer this call to Holy living. God’s call is not to scare us, limit or put restrictions on us; but a call to true liberty, an invitation to a divine and rewarding life that is eternally satisfying. This can only be gotten through a sacrifice of that which many erroneously call ‘fun’ but is actually sinful. Beloved what will it profit you if you gain all the so-called ‘fun’ in this world and lose your soul? Many follow after fame, money and pleasures of this world, only to reach the end of their lives and wished they had pursued a higher purpose. Friend, Holiness is a higher purpose because it can only be achieved by pursuing God Himself. Our prayer should be that when we look back at our lives, it would be without shame but with satisfaction that we spent it pursuing that which is most valuable, Jesus Christ! There would come a time when our strength will be fully spent and Christ would come for his own, may we be found ready to go and reign with Him. The strength to break through every barrier of unholiness and uncleanness placed around us on a daily basis by the enemy of our soul is released to you in Jesus Christ name. God bless you.

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

Are You A True Disciple? Part 1

       This decade opened with very dire straits for mankind, as many people around the world woke up to a world that stood still as each nation shut their borders, homes and institutions shutting their doors. If many had been told this scenario could happen a couple of decades ago, one would say it was crazily impossible. But it did happen! Many lives and livelihoods were destroyed, and many institutions and lifestyles, including the Church, were affected. As terrible as the times were and still are, it is exposing the hearts and state of many 'sons of God'!         Many wondered aloud, 'What does the devil want for causing all this havoc?' And some went further to ask, 'What does God want?' The answer to both questions is 'Man' (male and female)! It is a battle between the Kingdom of God and darkness for the soul of man. As a result, man is being prepared both by God and the devil for eternity with either!         ...

It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively,...
