Heaven will not reject you, when you confess your sin

 HEAVEN WILL NOT REJECT YOU WHEN YOU CONFESS YOUR SIN

 

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty 2 Cor. 6:16-17 Kjv”

God is never against Man that He made in His Own Image and Likeness, He loves Man more than anything He had created. What God hate is sin! The above scripture shows God’s willingness to save man from sin. Come out, means separate yourself from sin, or anyone that will lure you into it, and He will receive you. Sin is anything that displeases God. Sin comes into being through the rebellious  acts of Lucifer, it was to pass to Man through disobedience. Touch not the unclean thing; don’t entangle yourself with Sin; and I will receive you; when you confess your sin, heaven will not reject you! 
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land  2 Chr.7:14 Kjv.” 

One single act that will draw God closer to you is when you humble yourself in pray and ask God to forgive you your sin. When you confess your sins, heaven will not reject you.!
God is calling every sinner to repentance because He has already made provision for the redemption of mankind. Repentance does not end at swiping off one’s sin but also involve blessings. “And I will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land…….2 Chr. 7:14 Kjv”

Repentance is two in one blessings. One blessing is the blessing of swiping off your sin (Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered Psalm 32:1) on one hand, and uncountable blessings (And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee. And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee. ........Duet. 28:2-14) on the other hand. 

Repentance comes with reward, humble yourself become God, if you confess you sin, heaven will not reject you!

THE ATONING BLOOD OF JESUS

 THE ATONING BLOOD OF JESUS
 

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul. Lev., 17:11. 

To atone means to cover, to cleans, to heal, to protect, to destroy something bad, and finally to deliver. The above scripture revealed that God gave blood for the purpose of atonement. In the old testament, the blood of animal were used for this purpose. The Israelite were required to brings animals for sacrifice to make atonement for their sins. They have to do this on a yearly basis because the blood of animal does not wipe out sin, it merely cover it for a while. For atonement to be complete three things must be in place, the blood, the altar and the priest. The animals produce the blood, the tabernacle represent the altar, Aaron is the high priest.   

In Lev., 17: 14 b, “The bible says that the life of all flesh is in the blood”. When we rank God’s  creation, human being ranked higher than animals. The blood of animal contain a special kind of life but it cannot take away the sins of a man, it merely cover it. The blood of human being cannot takes away the sin of man because it was corrupted through Adam’s  sin. So human blood that is corrupted cannot be used to wipe off the sin of man. 
The atoning blood of Jesus. 

"I long to break this bread with you and drink this cup"; and after He had blessed the bread and brake it, He said, "This is My body that is broken for you." Then He took a cup of wine and said, "This is My Blood of the New Covenant that is poured out for many unto the remission of sins. Math.26: 28"

Jesus is the perfect image of God on earth, His blood contain a special kind of life, which is higher than the blood of a man and that of animals. The blood of Jesus contain an everlasting life,  this is one of the reason His blood is able to give man eternal life. Remember, for  an atonement to be complete, three things must be present; the blood, the altar and the priest. Jesus’ body produce the blood, where he was crucified became the altar, Himself is the high priest that intercede for humanity. He shared His blood for mankind, for the purpose of wiping off every iota of sin in man. Without the sharing of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin. 

 

The blood have been shared, you can apply it on your life. The blood gives salvation, healing, deliverance, protection. Says this prayer now

"Lord Jesus thank you for the finished work on the cross, I come to you today, i believed you died on the cross for my sake , have mercy on me, wash me with your blood, pardon my sins, let your blood atone for my soul, now i accept you has my Saviour and Lord now and forever Amen!"

THE GRACE THAT BRING SALVATION

The Grace that brings salvation

“For the grace of  God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;  looking  for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of  the great God and Saviour Jesus Christ…… Titus 2:11-13”

This kind of grace only God can give open the room for salvation.  This  salvation through grace revealed to us the  attribute of heavenly candidate, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts in this present world. 

The Grace that brings salvation

WHY DO I NEED SALVATION

Salvations means be free from bondage and yoke! The answer to the question “WHY DO I NEED SALVATION?”  IS FREEDOM! Freedom from the bondage of sin. Separated Incubated Nature. Anything that could separate you from God’s presence is sin. The first set of being that sin against God were angelic beings who rebelled against God. They became God's enemies and were separated from God. When God created the first man on Earth, he was very close to God and have fellowship with God on a daily basis. Adam was deceived by one of the enemy of God called Lucifer. He introduced disobedience to Man and man was separated from God as a result of the act of disobedience. As earlier discussed, SIN is an ancrony for separated incubated nature. Man was not made to be separated from God but this nature was acquired (incubated ) through an act of disobedience. 

Man's SIN  actually separated man from God, but God has a plan B for man. Salvation through grace. This grace that bring salvation revealed to us that there is power in it that will enable us to deny ungodliness and worldly lust in this present age through the help of the Holy Spirit of God and present us blameless in the presence of God!

PRAYER OF SALVATION

My heavenly Father, I come to you today with all of my being to accept this GRACE that bring salvation. Forgive me of all sin I have ever committed, wash me through the blood of Jesus, the blood of the new convenant so that I will on longer be separated from you in Jesus mighty name amen!!!!

Congratulations the vein is broken for ever!!!

Hold on to the profession of your faith

 Hold on to the profession of your faith

Heb 3:1, Heb10:23, Joshua 1:8 

"  Heb.3.1 - Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; ". The above scripture disclosed that Jesus is the high priest of our profession as believer. This means that Jesus Christ is the one that advocate for us anytime will confess the word of God! The word profession means confession. Many people think that the word confession simply means feeling sorry for ones sin or wrong! It also means saying what the Bible says. 

Christianity is called the "confession," according to Hebrews, chapter three.The Greek word, which has been translated profession in the King James Version, is rendered "confession" in other cases; and the word profession in Hebrews 3:1 is "confession" or "acknowledgment" in the original.The two words are closely related, yet the difference is important. The Greek word from which the word "confession" is translated actually means, "saying thesame thing." It means, "saying what God says." It means to agree with God inyour testimony: saying what God says in His word about your sins, your sicknesses, your apparent failures, your health, your salvation, your victories, or about anything else in your life. In other words, testify to - or acknowledge what God says.

2Cor.4.13 - We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

DO IT THE WAY JESUS DID IT

"  Heb.10.23 - Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)   "  The profession of our faith here means the confession of God's word regarding any situation. We can put it like this; hold fast the confession of God's word without weaving; ( for he is faithful that promised).

You do exactly as Christ, your example, did when tempted by Satan in the wilderness: You say, Satan, it is written. Then you quote him the word: By his stripes, I am healed.He heals all my diseases. Christ himself took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses.This is confession.Confession is saying what God says - talking the language of the Bible at all times. It is resisting Satan with the Lord says. It is claiming your rights and confessing God's word - God's promises.The Greek word from which confession is translated means, "saying the same thing"; that is, "saying what God says," or "agreeing with God in your conversation"; "acknowledging the word.

How often should we confess the word

Josh.1.8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 

Confess God's word day and night everyday whether there are challenges or not. Then you will have good success!!!

 WANTED BY GOD

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land... ( Ish 1: 18-19)".

 
God loves everything He has created especially man. He wants you to be His ambassador here on Earth, to show His glory, here on Earth.  Man has fallen from this position long ago yet God still desires him. Man have done so many things that separated him from God, yet God still desires him. You are valuable to God,  He is calling you today! Come let us reason together, what is that sin that have separated you from Me, I have paid the price for your redemption, what is that yoke, Christ have nailed it to the cross. There's no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him... ( Eph 1:3-10)”.

 

From the scripture above, God in all His majesty, in all His glory wants you to be born again and be safe ! The Scripture clearly teaches that every human being, from the first Adam to the last one who will ever be born in the flesh, was in the beginning predestined in the mind of God, in the plan of God, and in the heart of God to be His heir and a joint-heir with His only begotten Son. In other words, every human being in the mind of God was predestined to be born again. God has not willed that any human being should be lost. God never willed that you should be a sinner. God never willed that you should go to hell. Hell was never made for humanity. Hell was made for fallen angels, and never made for mankind. Jesus is coming soon. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land... ( Ish 1: 18-19)”.

Prayer of repentance
My dear heavenly Father, I have come to you today with all my totality, to repent of every sin I have ever committed and accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior, cleans me of every sin recorded against me with blood of Jesus Christ, your only begotten Son who died on the cross for the same purpose. Give me the grace to live the lifestyle that pleases you (The life of Jesus) In Jesus' Name, Amen!.

If you just prayed the above prayer, big congratulations !!! You are now born again, you are now join heir with Christ.

FROM THE DAYS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST

 " And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of  heaven sufferenth violence and the violent take it by force Matt. 11:12"

The above scripture introduce a new subject matter; the kingdom of heaven suffer violence. One may wonder what on earth or in heaven that will make the kingdom of heaven to suffer violence? could it be that Jesus was referring to the war that happened in heaven when Lucifer was cast down to hell or something different. 

let analyze the phrase "The kingdom of  heaven". The kingdom of heaven here refer to the gospel of salvation.  In Matthew 3: 2 Jesus refer the gospel of salvation to the kingdom of heaven. "Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.."  The kingdom of heaven suffer violence is another sentence i will like to analyze. violence here means opposition, so therefore, the kingdom of heaven suffer violence means there will sometimes be opposition to the spread of the gospel of salvation, the violent take it by force. The violent that takes the kingdom of heaven by force are those who despite the opposition they face while spreading the gospel of salvation, preaching the good news of salvation remained unmovable, keep on spreading the gospel, backing it up with prayer, are those who will finally wins more souls to the kingdom of heaven. "The law and the prophets were until John: Since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. "Luke16:16 kjv". 

It is those who are consistent in prayer and preaching the gospel  are the once that will eventually bring down the glory of God on earth. The violent once that takes it by force are those who backup their work with God with consistent prayer, every blessed day.

When Peter was arrested because of the gospel of salvation he preached, he was put in prison, you see, opposition came, but what happen next, the saint gather together to pray for peter, he was release from prison by the miraculous power of God and the next day he went to preach. the saint that prayed for him are the violent one that take the kingdom of God by force.

Paul and Silas was put in prison, because of the gospel they preached, at mid-night, they pray, sang praises to God, what happen next, the supper natural power of God came down and they were free miraculously. Solders and prisoners were saved. This is a message from God to you reading this article, anytime you want to do something tangible in the body of Christ, and there seem to be opposition to what you want to do for God in the body of Christ, don't give up, press on, back it up with pray, and you will see the supernatural power of God, demonstrating in your life and ministry to accomplished that which you have proposed to do for God!!!

UPON THIS ROCK

 "When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that i son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He said unto them, But whom say ye that i am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my father which is in heaven. And I say unto thee, That thou art peter,and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loosed on earth shall be loosed in heaven.......Matt. 16: 13-19"

Jesus asked His disciple a wonderful question. " who do men say i am?" some of His disciples said, He's Elijah, some said He's one of the prophet of old, but Peter said "you are Christ the son of the living God!" Jesus reply you are Peter, AND UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH.........

What rock  was Jesus  referring to in the above statement, was He referring to Peter, they answer is no, because the church of Christ can not be built on the strength of a man ! The Bible says by strength shall no man prevail!! What then  was Jesus referring to? Peter said "you are Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God"! That was a revelation from Heaven, and it can only got to peter through the auspices of the Holy Spirit!!! The Holy Spirit of God is the Solid Rock upon which the church of Christ is built.

The Holy Spirit gave the revelational knowledge to Peter and Peter was able to revealed who Jesus is. ' And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. The keys of the kingdom of heaven refer to authority, power, right, dominion etc. The Holy Spirit is the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever the church bind on earth shall be bound in heaven...... 

Every regenerated soul must be baptized with the Holy Spirit, and be fill with the fullness of the Holy Spirit of God. The keys of the kingdom of heaven refers to the fullness of the Holy Spirit of God. This fullness of the Holy Spirit is the seven Spirits of  God! They are; The Spirit of Lordship, The Spirit of Might, The Spirit of Wisdom, The Spirit of Knowledge, The Spirit of Understanding, The Spirit of Counsel and the Spirit of the fear of the Lord!

The fact still remains, without the Holy Spirit of God, the church will be powerless, without the Holy Spirit the church cannot witness for Jesus, without the Holy Spirit of God, the church can do nothing. Jesus told His disciple, you shall received power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you! The Holy Spirit of God is the rock upon which the church of Christ is built!!!

SIN IS NOT A FRIEND

 SIN IS NOT A FRIEND

The word sin portrays something that is bad, not holy, disastrous, evil, wickedness etc. Anything that is against God's standard of righteousness is Sin. Anything that displeases God is sin, because God is the only one that shows to mankind what righteousness is and Him alone is the only one that can define the true meaning of righteousness.

Sin has been in existence even before the first man on Earth was created. The first set of beings that originated sin were Lucifer and one third of God's angels that repelled against God. 

"Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.  Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee Ezekiel 28:12-15 kjv". 

The first sin ever recorded was the sin of rebellion. Lucifer and one third of God's angels rebelled against God. Lucifer wanted to be like the Most high God. He wanted the sons of God to worship him.

 “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Isaiah 14:12-15 kjv”

 Lucifer and the one third of God's angels that rebelled against God was cast out from God's throne to hell. 

Consequences of Lucifer sin

1. He was cast out from God's throne 

2. He lost all the privilege God gave to him

3. He became a profane thing in God's sight. " Ezek.28.16 - By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire."

The Sin of Adam

Adam was the first man created by God to rule over the planet Earth and everything in it. God gave Adam dominion over everything on Earth. God always visit Adam at the cool of the evening, God always have fellowship with Adam until Adam sin. 

God told Adam not eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil  "  Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.  And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life Genesis 3:1-14 kjv.

Consequences of Adam's sin

1. He lost his Dominion to rule as the king of the earth

2. He lost fellowship with God.

3. The earth was caused because of Adam's sin.

Achan's sin 

The Israelites surfer a great defits in battle when Achan sin against God. Many innocent people died because of one man sin. To cut the story short read Joshua 6&7. 

General consequence of sin

1. The reward for sin is dead, seperation, loss of dominion and fellowship.

2. Sin prevent God from blessing us. Hos.7.1 - When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.

3. Sin makes our angles powerless  

In conclusion, let flee from sin and embrace righteousness, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

BUILDING UP YOURSELF ON YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH

 

Building up yourself on your most holy faith.

Texts: Jude 1: 20.

“ But ye beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost Jude 1:20”.

At the point of salvation faith is given (begins) as a seed to all believers. “ A sower want out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell some fell upon a rock…………………….. The seed is the word of God. Luke 8:5-11 kjv”

The above scripture revealed that the seed is the word of God. The basis for the Christian faith is the word of God. The bible also disclosed that faith comes by hearing the word of God. The measure of faith depends on the level at which Christians meditate on God’s word.  The measure of faith varies for all believers. It’s directly proportionate to the level of God’s word that have taken roots in the believers’ life. In Luke 8: 5-11 the seed, which is the word of God is planted in different ground. It’s only those on a fertile ground that will produced fruits.

What makes a believer heart a fertile ground is what Jude the divine revealed in the bible. Jude the divine is revealing a mystery to all believers in his statement “building up yourself on your most holy faith” There’s a different between building up your faith and building up yourself on your most holy faith.  Your faith is called holy because it is sacred, it is sacred because you belief on the finish work of the cross i.e salvation obtained by grace.

In essences, what Jude the divine meant in his statement “building up yourself on your most holy faith” is that there is something you most do for the word of God to have roots in your spirit. Anytime you study the word of God you must build up yourself on it by meditating on it and praying in the Holy Ghost. It’s the Holy Spirit that knows the things in the mind of God at any time. The purpose of God’s word is to transform you into His image, so you need to buildup yourself on God’s word by praying in the spirit. When you pray in tongues your spirit prays.

In conclusion, when you study God’s word, for the word to have root in your spirit , you must buildup yourself on it with prayer, most effectively by speaking in tongues.

THE ORIGIN OF SIN

 

ADAM WAS NOT THE FIRST TO SIN AGAINST GOD

Sin is an acronym that means Satan, Imparted Nature. Sin came out of rebellion. Satan rebelled against God in eternity past with one-third of God's angel on his side. According to Ezekiel 28, Lucifer was a perfect angel that served God in eternity past; he was created with beauty and glory. He once had access to God's throne. (Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth, and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezek 28:14–15 Kjv)

Lucifer was a cherub and an angel of God. God gave him authority to control most of the things He had created, including other angels of lower classes. Ezekiel 28:15 reveals that iniquity was found in Lucifer, and he is the first being to sin against God. (How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations? For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most high Isah. 14:12-14)

The first sin ever committed was the sin of rebellion. Lucifer originated sin through his rebellion acts. He was not satisfied with the position God gave him. He wanted complete control of all the sons of God (angels) and to be like the Most High God! Lucifer was not alone in this quest; he was able to convince one-third of all the angels God created, and there was a great battle in heaven between Lucifer and the angels that follow him and other angels who remain loyal to their creator.

The battle was so fierce that the Most High God drove him and his followers out of heaven. Lucifer and one-third of the angels of God form the kingdom of darkness. They are the present-day principalities, powers, rulers of darkness in the heavenly places, and wicked spirits ruling the earth today.

THE POWER OF SANCTIFICATION

 Sanctification is a necessary factor that brings down the power of God.

Sanctification literally means "to set apart for special purpose" that is, to make holy or sacred. "Therefore, if  anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work 2 Timothy 2:21 "

Sanctification is the stage of being separated from the world and be separated unto God for a special purpose. It is the process of perfecting God's holiness in your spirit, soul and body so that you can become a vessel unto honour. Any man God uses as a vessel, must be a man of pure heart. Any man God commit Himself to, must be a man that have the fear of God and loves righteousness!

To become a vessel unto honor is not a chance but a choice! God is looking for men who will make such decision. Sanctification gives you victory over sin and guarantee answered prayers; it is the bridge between your prayers and the answers. Sanctification strengthen your intimacy with God. Amos 3:7 'Can two work together except they agreed.'The more you are closer to God, the more you will be endued with power from above. Sanctification attracts the power of God !

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SANCTIFICATION

Righteousness is the state of being declares free from sin by God through the finish work of the cross. It is an attribute of God, and no man can achieve perfect righteousness by himself. Righteousness is a free gift from God which defines our right standing with God. 

Sanctification is the state of being pure and reverse for a special purpose. Everyone God uses must be sanctified. Sanctification can be classify into three categories;
