Excel in Holiness


1 Thessalonians 4:3-7
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.

2 Corinthians 7:1
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Do away with anything contrary to having a pure heart, honest speech and pleasing behaviour. Stand clean and pure in the fear of God and for His holy service.

Follow Heaven's guidelines in all purity. Do not abuse your body but dignify it in Christ. Keep clean inside-out, so the beauty of God within will be evident to all on the outside.

PRAYER:
  • Lord, purge the vessel of my soul and shield it against all filthiness. Perfect Your holiness and the fear of You in me and in all my endeavours.
  • Separate me from all things contrary to purity. Establish me in Your holiness. Let Your holiness direct my will and purpose in life.
  • Lord, please affect my affections in a tangible way, touch me significantly so that Your Will can drive my life in all matters. Let Your righteousness be established in every area of my life.
  • Lord, help me not to cheat myself and others around me in fulfilling the purpose of Heaven. Let me understand that others will suffer if I do not act or live out Your will for my life.
  • Grant me the grace to live by achieving the goal of heaven in all matters of my existence.
