"For they (earthly fathers) verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he (Christ) FOR OUR PROFIT, that we might be partakers of his holiness." (Heb 12:10)
Righteousness is declaring (within your heart and publicly) that you absolutely agree with God. But when it comes to putting the Word of God upfront to every situations, we quickly become afraid. And this is the very needed reason for the EXERCISE, i.e., our chastisements and scourgings. WE NEED THEM TO BECOME MORE LIKE CHRIST because of the imperfections within the soul and body.
# The Glory of Grace and Truth.
Wherever there is sin, there is weakness. "Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak." (Mar 14:38)... this describe the IMPERFECT STATE we are in today as a Church and saints. [Note: God is ever ready, and we are yet to be through the glory of His divine presence and power. God through our perfect spirit is going to be working out things through our imperfections.]
~ So what is this glory of grace and truth all about?!
Grace in short, is a host of angelic activities around a believer working out his part of the plan of salvation, while Truth is what will make him or anyone else free. Whenever we agree with God to DO as His Word/Jesus commanded, this same Grace and Truth is granted (or measured) unto us to do those things ONLY Christ can do! And these two is what the glory of Jesus was full of during His ministering...
"And the Word was made flesh (Jesus), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) FULL of grace and truth." (John 1:14)
~ How filled up are you of the Grace and Truth of God?
The measure of Life (the Spirit) is by the worth of the Word of God you have available to use. YOUR POTENTIALS ARE HIDDEN WITHIN THE WORD OF GOD. As the Word is unveiled to you, grace and truth is deposited for your immediate use and benefit, and ONLY the doers will greatly benefit from it.
# Holiness is for Profiting!
Know this upfront that: WITHOUT GRACE AND TRUTH YOU CAN'T BE HOLY. Producing fruits of 30,60,100 folds will be practically impossible to achieve without Holiness. Holiness is the working out of things super-Naturally through grace and truth, and so are we called the "Partakers" of His Holiness (Nature and Blessings).
~ Holiness is a Royal lifestyle.
Holiness is NOT a trap, a stumbling block, or rock of offence unto you, BUT the Glory (grace and truth) of God made super-Naturally available for our profiting. IN HIS HOLINESS, YOU ARE ROYAL AND ANGELS MINISTER UNTO YOU. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY FOR NOTHING, ONLY LIVE BY EVERY SINGLE WORD OF GOD!
~ What is Holiness?
Its simply doing what the agreement says, even when you know its beyond your power. Every time you come across an obstacle you realise is naturally beyond you, you TRUST the Word and move ahead, knowing God is going to work things out by Himself.
"And they that know thy name will put their TRUST in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." ..."Some TRUST in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God." (Psa 9:10;20:7)
You can't put your trust in man and still call yourself a believer. Exercise yourself into trusting ONLY in the LORD. This end of days is NOT a time to joke about this REQUIRED exercise or training.
Here are few steps you should diligently follow daily:-
1- Keep studying and meditating on the Word, (Quit being religious),
2- Keep putting it to use in every situation,
3- Learn to wait on the LORD and be renewed,
4- Always Watch (seek out points of interest) and Pray (ask before any commitment),
5- Worship more often, and learn to raise up holy hands up to heaven in total surrender,
6- Promote the gospel of good news
7- Love God with all you've got within you, and your neighbours as yourself (treat yourself and others honorably, nicely, politely, etc).
- Holiness is The daily prescription your must take to live The royal life.
