How to Become a Complete Believer in Jesus Christ 7 (Perfecting holiness)
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Hebrews 10:23-25 KJV
We thank God for His
wisdom in our life. The Lord has been gracious unto us. Is a great joy writing to you loved ones in Christ Jesus. This is episode seven of the holiness teachings.
If you have not read my previous teachings, kindly read them for a
better understanding. If you start from this episode, you may not get the full
understanding.
Start with the foundational teachings to enable you to get the full concepts and dynamics of
holiness. Holiness is the nature of God Almighty (See Revelation 4:8-11). If you want to know God,
worship Him from your heart because our heart can see Him clearly than our
eyes.
Studying God from the
Bible may help you understand His concept. We know the majesty, ways, and
sovereignty of God through Spirit-filled worship. Get my book “How to Worship God in Spirit and Truth” for a more profound revelation. Apostle
Paul writes to a sect of Jewish Christians in the book of Hebrews that we must
stand firm in the faith and ignite one another unto love and good works.
This means our faith must
produce good works. Faith without works or actions is useless. Take action if
you have faith. Your faith becomes active when you put it into practice. For
example, you can say that I am a great person. If you don’t take
action, you will remain the same.
Faith demands action. Any
faith that does not trigger you to move forward is hope. We need the Spirit of
faith to walk in holiness. It is the seed of faith in our hearts that empowers
us to please God despite our weakness. If you don’t have a heart and mindset of
faith, you will struggle to walk in holiness.
You will always question
every decision you make if you don’t act in faith. You will wonder, do I please
God with all my mistakes and the criticism I receive from neighbours and
enemies? Holiness demands the Spirit of faith to make it complete. Get my book, "How to Unlock the Gates of Faith" for a more profound revelation.
Apostle Paul further
states in verse twenty-five of Hebrews chapter ten that we must not
abandon the church. Forsaking church meetings has a significant impact on our
spiritual growth. The so-called virus (corona) has led many churches to close.
We have to meet in small
groups and encourage ourselves in the Lord because it helps us to stay active
in the Lord. Fellowshipping together builds faith in our hearts. When we develop
our faith through fellowship, the Spirit of holiness builds His virtues in our
lives.
The devil knows the
impact of fellowship in the body of Christ, so he will use every strategy to
separate us. Remember, when two or more Christians meet in the name of our Saviour
and Lord Jesus Christ, the church has met (See Matthew 18:20).
The Holy Spirit lives in
us, so when we meet, the Spirit of holiness rules. Encouraging ourselves in the
Lord is one of the greatest weapons we can use to build the Spirit of holiness
in our life. Lack of fellowship makes us inactive to the Spirit of God. When
the church fails to develop a strategy to counter the plans of the enemy, we become
his prey.
Apostle Paul is not a
fool to tell us not to forsake church meetings. We know the impact
of the CONVID-19 and how it spreads. We must apply wisdom when fellowshipping
with one another. Like the scriptures record,
we must not forsake the gathering of the saints. We must build an intimate
fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
When we unite as one
family in the Spirit, it makes us active to the voice of the Holy Spirit. When we
join in the Spirit through prayer, we become responsive to the Holy Spirit.
Separating yourself from the church spiritually can jeopardize your Christian life. When your spiritual life becomes weak, you reject the voice of the Holy
Spirit. When this happens, you break your fellowship with the Spirit of
holiness.
We are social beings. We
need one another. Christianity is a family. The blood of Jesus Christ has made
us one (See Romans 12:4-5). Let us build spiritual fellowship in this season of
lockdown because separation will limit us from the family. When you separate
yourself from the Church spiritually, the enemy will destroy you.
It is time you say no to
pride, separation, willful sin, and carnality. Build a consistent fellowship
with the brethren in the Spirit through fasting, prayers, the Word (Holy
Bible) and Spiritual songs. Technology has made it possible to connect to your
spiritual leader.
Connect with the sermons of your spiritual leader
through the television and radio. Download the sermons of your spiritual leader
on youtube, Facebook, podcast, and other social media channels.
If your spiritual leader has
written books, get his books, and read them to help booster your spiritual
growth. Soon, the virus called corona will disappear. The lockdown will be no
more. We will meet in our physical temple and fellowship with one another soon.
In summary, connect with
the Holy Spirit through prayers, anointed Spirit-filled songs, hymnals, fasting,
and prayers in your chambers, and connect with the materials of your spiritual
leader. Connect with the brethren spiritually. Meet in small groups but
apply wisdom. When you follow these wisdom keys, you will not backslide. You
will become a complete believer in Jesus Christ.
