SANCTIFICATION

SANCTIFICATION
Anytime I think about this word “sanctification’’ I always remember vividly the vision I had in the bus on my way from Abuja in to Lagos in Nigeria on the 26th of April 1999. I came to Abuja from warri in Delta state Nigeria with my son David and we were on our way to Lagos after a few days in Abuja and as soon as our bus took off to Lagos in the night journey I suddenly was translated into an arena, where were women who were tattered dress, and covered with mud and I saw also many of them coming out from the gutter and their faces were wrinkled and painfully in a grimace and lord said to me in a very clear voice, “I AM SENDING YOU TO OPEN THEIR EYES, AND TO TURN THEM FROM THE POWER OF SATAN UNTO GOD, THAT THEY MAY RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, AND INHERITANCE AMONG THEM WHICH ARE SANCTIFIED BY FAITH THAT IS IN ME’’. Then after I began to prayerfully ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten me move on the word of sanctification. I discovered that sanctification means set apart, separated for Gods purpose, begotten of the spirit of Holiness, those that are made one with Christ. I discovered from the Holy Spirit that it is the elemental forces of nature, that muddied those women, and made them bowed to the earth, and not necessarily their sir, so I was mandated to turn them from darkness to light by opening their eyes of understanding. This is the prayer Paul prayed in the book of Eph1:16-18 “Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers that the God of our lord Jesus Christ, the father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Hi, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened. That you may know what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.’’ So you can see that these people were robbed of their ignorance and a sense of guilt in their conscience and this is the pathetic picture of the generality of humanity, so that sanctification becomes the pre-requisite for them to enter into their inheritance.
This was clearly seen from this scriptural insight in Act20:32 “And now brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.’’ You must agree with me that you’re accessing your level of sanctification, and a point of note her which is also seen from the word is needed for our sanctification, and this sanctification is based on the faith of our lord Jesus Christ and not ours. Jn17:17 “Sanctify them through the truth thy word is truth.’’ Again jn15:3 “Now ye are clean through the word that I have spoken unto you.’’ You can also see from these two scriptures that it is the revelation of the word you see and the word that is also given a voice that sanctifies and cleanses.
This is given credence by this insight in Eph5:25-26 “Husbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water by the word.’’ So it is the water dimension of the word that actually cleanses and sanctifies, thus lifting up your standard. So to really access your inheritance, you must be a word addict. Just as was stated in the book of Col3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing ne another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the lord.’’ Our level of word intake determines our spiritual standard which is the actual purpose of sanctification.
This is exactly what the writer of Acts 20:32 meant when he said “I commend u to God and to the word of His grace which is able to lift up your spiritual standard and give you your inheritance among the one who are sanctified? And prophet Ezekiel stated thus Ez2:2 “The spirit enters into me when he spoke to me and set me upon my feet that I heard him that spoke unto Me.’ when you are sanctified by the entrance of the word, you are cleansed, regenerated, refined, reenergized, reinvigorated, activated and empowered to action, which is what is principally required to laying hold on your inheritance in Christ. This is a very good scriptural picture of what sanctification is all about. Act14:8-10 “And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mothers womb, who never had walked, the same heard about Paul speak, who steadfastly beholding him and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice stand upright on thy feet: and leaped and walked.’’ He leaped up and walked because he had been satisfied by the word and every form of darkness that hither to held him bound was shattered by the entrance of the word, light penetrated in his inside and he must have concluded in his mind oh I see! I am not to be pitied, but to be envied, I am not meant to be a cripple but to be on my feet, the intensity of thought permitted the environment that Paul perceived it, and just one word of command, stand upright, the man did not stand up leaped up. When you compare this story to the episode of Act3:6-7 when Peter healed another cripple will see the difference “And Peter said silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, give I unto you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk, and he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up and immediately his feet and ankles bones received strength’’. The cripple needed extra support to operate in faith because he had not been spoken to y the word, so he was not yet sanctified. You can see that Jesus said in the book of John chapter jn15:3-8, he said you are sanctified by the word I have spoken to you, and it enabled you to abide in me because the same word that lifted you up your standard will abide in you, and in that case you are guaranteed answers to your prayers; and God the father, the custodian of our inheritance will be glorified that you truthfully receive your inheritance. I SEE YOU ENTER YOUR FULL KINGDOM HERITAGE OF BILLIONS IN ALL ACCEPTABLE CURRENCIES IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.I SEE YOU LIVE A SUCCESSFUL AND FULFILLED MARITAL LIFE, I SDEE YOU AT THE HEAD OF YOUR PROFFESSION, CAREER, AND ALL THE PURSUIT OF YOUR LIFE ENDEAVORS, IN JESUS CHRISMOST POWERFUL NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, AMEN..In Mal3:1-3 “behold i will send my servant, messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me (by the spoken word, that will lift up your standard and sanctify you) and the lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in, behold he shall come, saith the lord of host, and who may abide at his coming? And who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner fire and like fuller soap, and he shall sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi and putge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the lord an offering in righteousness; then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the lord, as in the days of old, as in the former years” For your offering to accepted, as an offering in righteousness, it must come from a sanctified vessel who were sanctified by the purifying ,refining, and the purging effect of the word of grace of the messenger of the covenant, in whose mouth God in His wisdom has the word to become both fire and hammer. And as your offering is regarded as an offering in righteousness, it becomes a sweet savor unto the Lord, and the moment divinity is pleased all the heaven Glory becomes your lot in your inheritance and divine presence will visit humanity. And when divinity visits humanity, every form of captivity is totally broken and destroyed. Mal3:5-6 “and I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and the adulterers, and against false swearing and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless and that turn aside the stranger from His right and fear not me, saith the lord of host. For I am the lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.’’ This is the effect of the word that spoken by an anointed vessel to the people and as they respond with their willful, cheerfully packed and bountifully given offering, it is recorded in heaven as an offering in righteousness which ultimately provokes divine visitation. Let’s examine this scripture for brighter light and cleaner understanding from the book of 2Cor9:6-10 “but this I say, he that soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly and he that soweth bountifully shall also reap bountifully: Every man according as he has purposed in his heart, so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for God loveth a cheerful giver and God is able to maker all grace abound towards you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work (as it is written, He had given to the poor, his righteousness endureth forever.) Now He that ministered seed to the sower both minister bread for your food and multiply your seed sown and increase the food of your righteousness.’’ I will just rephrase all these verses before explaining the rest. “As it is written he has dispersed abroad with understanding, because he has been taught the knowledge of seed and harvest, and so he has been sanctified, willing, cheerfully, and in bountifulness he has sown his seed, and given to the poor and this he did with grace which comes from knowledge. 2Pt1:2 “peace and grace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and our lord Jesus Christ.’’ And as it’s done this way willingly, God begins to multiply your fruits of righteousness, otherwise known as your harvest and kingdom inheritance. This was said of Abel in Heb11:4 “by faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of His gifts: and by it, he being dead, yet speaketh.’’ That even when he was dead, God was testifying of his gifts and his voice was still being heard even after he was dead. This is the increase of the fruit of his righteousness. Until your offering, sacrifice and seeds meets this standard, it is worthless in heaven and as soon as it melts this standard it will surely speak on your behalf in heaven. This what made God to step down in Mal3:5, to judge the country situations and circumstances and turn all of them into our favor and that is the main reason why the congregation of the assembly where the revelation of prosperity and wealth is taught, are more prosperity than In other places where this message and insight of the truth shared on the pulpit, has sanctified the people, given them knowledge and understanding on the subject of kingdom heritage, and therefore grace for giving is a product of this knowledge is released therefore they prosper more.
The only way you can escape the corruption that is characteristic of this season as epitomized by the teachings and preachings of so many Pastor that preaches fear instead of faith at this season of the year which is known as the EMBER MONTHS which is the most dreaded of all months of the year because of the unleashing of the fangs and fiery darts of the devil, which results into untimely,ely deaths, through accidents, and other means through mishaps, pains and anguish is unleashed upon mankind by the Devil and his agents. But they easily forget that the good Lord said in the book of Ps65:7-3, that at this season He visits the earth, waters it, for summer and then He crowns the year with His goodness, and His paths drip with fatness, and because the massage is so popular, and widely accepted by the deceived elect, these terrorizing things tend to to keep happening much more especially at this time of the year and on a wider and much more spread scale . But children , sons and daughters of the most high God, in have good news for you, and that is that you need to realize the beauty of what our Lord Jesus Christ secured for us on the cross , in His death, and His resurrection. and of which is that we are sanctified am\nd after that we are translated into the heavenly realm where the devil has no reach,ref Eph1:16-23, Eph2:6-8;18;19. Col112-13, Col2:10-14:14-19. Col3:1-3, Sons and daughters of the most high God it is your heavenly consciousness that will ultimately deliver you from all the fiery darts of the devil at the same time of the year . you are lifted and translated after you were sanctified, and you are hidden in Christ who is also hidden in God.therefore you are not visible to the enemy, for you are LIKE THE WIND WHICH MEN ONLY FEEL THE EFFECT BUT COULD NOT TELL WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO OR EVEN WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM.
