RESTORATION TODAY
SUNDAY 5TH FEBRUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: SANCTIFICATION [2].
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5: 23 ? 24.
Sanctification being set apart for God is the process God uses to conform believers to the image of His Son. The Bible describes this in different ways. Isaiah, for example, compared the Lord to a porter. ?We are the clay and You our porter; and all of us are the work of Your hand (Isaiah 64: 8).
These Are Some Of The Tools God Utilizes To Mold And Perfect Us:
1. THE BIBLE. The psalmist described God's Word as a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119: 105). The Holy Spirit illuminates what we read so that we can come under conviction and row in our faith.
2. THE CHURCH. As part of Christ?s body, we learn of God's ways from the pastors and who have been called to minister. The Father also calls His children to fellowship together (Hebrews 10: 25), in part so He can use them in each other?s sanctification process.
3. SUFFERING. God freely offers us solace and help during times of difficulty, but He also uses our painful circumstances to shape us. When we submit to Him, we emerge from our struggles looking more Christ like than ever before.
ACTION POINTS
We should long to glorify our Father by faithfully reflecting Him as a people set apart for Him.
SCRIPTURES:
Isaiah 64: 8
Psalm 119: 105
Hebrews 10: 25.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, as I study the Bible, help me understand it more in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, keep Your Church together in unity in the name of Jesus
3. Father, give me the grace to endure suffering in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Genesis 43
Psalm 20 & 21
Matthew 25: 1 - 30.
