Christian Sincerity
Text: Psalms 91:1-10
Certain
aspects of the Christian life are so deep that novices find it
difficult to comprehend the dept and the breadth of walking with
God. Thus, sanctified believers are generally misunderstood by
those who know nothing concerning what the Bible means when it
says, “deep calleth unto deep.” Those who are close
to sanctified believers may not understand them but the Lord,
whom they serve, understands them.
The
sanctified one is lonely in relation to others, but not lonely
in relation to Jesus Christ. The Moment you become sanctified;
you are to run into trouble with friends who will counsel you
to take things easy. Thus, the sanctified lives a life of holiness.
The main desire of the sanctified is to please Christ. However,
the sanctified as a certain kind of joy that others cannot have.
One of the joys of sanctification is absolute security. No silly
demon will dare come near you if you are the favourite of the
King of kings. Any demon that comes near the sanctified will be
roasted because God is a consuming fire. Psalms 91:1-10 is very
applicable to the sanctified. Because the sanctified one lives
a transparently holy life, he is not bothered by the fear of exposure.
Jesus
said in John 3:20-21, talking about those who want to be sanctified:
“For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light lest his needs should be reproved. But he
that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be
made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” When you have
nothing to hide, you will begin to know what is called security.
When you have nothing to hide, you are ready for the second coming
of Jesus Christ. When you have nothing to hide, you can boldly
have fellowship with Jesus Christ. I Peter 3:12-13 says, “For
the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are
open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them
that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers
of that which is good.” Nobody can harm you when you are
a fovourite of God.
Memory Verse: I Peter 3:12 - “For
the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are
open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them
that do evil.”
