The reason many believers pray and yield no fruits is because they are not living a Holy life. The power of Holiness is talking about a holy life. The more we put off the old man, we invite God’s presence towards us. Ephesians 4:22-24; the new man here is reference to Genesis 1:6, man was created in God’s image. Man was given consciousness, will and emotions, with all these attributes man became higher than her creations. This conformity between man and God gives us the power to commune with Him. This was the powerful opening ministration for Holy Communion service by Regional Overseer Pastor Benita Blessing Gonyere, MFM Uganda; A do it yourself church with Regional headquarter located in Kampala suburb Kanyaya.
In Collosians 3:10, man bears the knowledge to exercise righteousness because he is created in God’s image, therefore the moral likeness of man required him to be Holy.
Gen 2:18 expresses the social nature of man. We must have Communion together and the more we have Him inside us, the more we express His moral, social, spiritual and physical likeness. Inorder to commune with God in Holy Communion, we are required to be Worthy henceforth Indefinite Holiness. Therefore the following must be dealt with;
Total Separation from the world, 1 John 2:15-17. That is Lust of the Flesh, Eyes and Pride of life. Love not the world or the things in it. Satan tempted Jesus with these earthly things but like Him, we must know who we are.
What you are when you are alone. Be clean and ready fokr Christ, not a hypocrite who is Holy on the outside and sinful within.what dominates the mind must be of God.Learning to call sin a sin and not sugar coating. Most times believers find themselves into sin through excuses by distorting the meaning of sin through worldly struggles that leads them into fraudulent acts like accepting and giving bribes, extra-marital activities etc. Sin remains sin nomatter the circumstances under which it was committed.
Loyalty to the king. Loyalty to God means Loyalty to authorities under us ie employees-employers, children-parents, Wife-husband etc. Once one is obedient to the authorities under which one operates he is therefore exercising Holiness and righteousness.
More on Holiness, read 1 John 3:4, Matt 5:48 and John 15:4Be born again and enjoy Salvation of Christ.If you have been blessed, share with a friend!
