JOYS OF BEING SANCTIFIED

MEMORISE: ‘I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.’ (John 15:5)
READ: John 3: 20- 21

Many times people who are sanctified may feel isolated if they look at others around them. Their peers may hassle them, telling them to take things easy, and not to be so caught up in religion. This is because theses peers do not understand sanctified people’s desire to relentlessly pursue their ultimate goal – to bring glory to Jesus and to please him only.

Even though sanctified people may feel alone, they definitely aren’t. they enjoy certain privileges to which others have no access. One of these privileges is absolute security. Demons are loathe to come near you if you are one of the favourites of the King of kings, because they know God is a consuming fire, and that he will roast them if they try to hurt you. Sanctification makes us unafraid of being exposed, because we have nothing to hide. When you have reached this point, you are ready for fellowship with Jesus and for the second coming of Christ, John 3: 20-21 says when you do truthful works, you will be delighted when they are exposed in the light, because they will not condemn you, but justify you.

‘I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruits; for without me ye can do nothing’ (John 15:5)

another joy sanctified people experience is abundant fruitfulness. This means that, as you grow closer to Jesus and tell people about him, soul winning will become very easy for you. The gifts of the Holy Spirit will also be readily available to you. In Acts 19:11- 12 God performed special miracles through the hands of Paul, even using handkerchief and aprons to heal the sick. How did he get this special gift? By being close to Jesus. We can also access great gifts by drawing closer to him today!

ACTION POINT
Ask yourself how fruitful you have been this year. Summon all
your personal convert for a get-together and discuss this.
