                                                      SANCTIFICATION.

Bible Lesson Reading: Romans 6: 1-14

In Celestial Church, literal sanctification is usually the first thing for new converts.

Sanctification occurs in two phases:

1. Dieing unto Sin. (Romans 6: 1, 6, 11)

              What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? (Romans 6:1 KJV)

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. (Romans 6:6 KJV)

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:11 KJV) 

2. Living Unto Righteousness.  

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.         (Romans 6:8-10 NIV)

 

Once you have given your life to Christ, there should be no stain whatsoever found in your life again.

After agreeing to worship in Celestial church, if you ever go back to sin, you are guilty and liable to God’s punishment.

If you know Christ and still commit adultery, you are guilty and liable to God’s punishment.

             CCC Hymn 283

1.         O hearken all ye people,

to the voice of your creator.

The day of judgement draws near

That ye all shall be reckoned

Chorus:

 All the world have sinned and fallen short of his glory

O sinner, the name of Jesus shall save ye.

There’s no other way that leads to heaven

All ye people come and accept Jesus now.

2.        Most precious blood of Jesus,

             paid ransom for our sins

Ye sinners be washed in it,

 and ye shall all be saved

                         Chorus

3.       We shall all be assembled

 before the Lord Jesus.

Both children and the adults

We all shall give account

                                Chorus

4.       What reasons shall we all give

at the sight of Jesus,

So many people have died

Without accepting Jesus.

                    Chorus

 

All those who died and were risen by God in the bible still eventually died. All mortals will eventually die, no matter how many times you are risen from death.

 Only Jesus rose from death and never died again. Once you are alive unto righteousness, you cannot die again, you will only go to sleep in the Lord.

• You need to get to that point where sin begins to irritate you.
• When you serve God truly, you will have no need for special prayers. All your needs will be given unto you, even before asking. 

During our immediate past Wednesday morning service, we discussed ‘The Limitations of Prayer’, and it was established that sin is one of these limitations.

I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.  If I had cherished sin in my heart,  the Lord would not have listened;  (Psalms 66:17-18 NIV) 

Faith is another master key, but it also has its own limitations.

The only master key that has no limitation is holiness.

• The day you begin to walk in holiness and people have no accusation against you, that day is when you will begin to excel outstandingly.
• If you are not holy, you need to stop wasting your time in coming to church. God is not blind, neither is he stupid. He sees you and he sees  your sins                                                               What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? (Rom 6:1 KJV)

If you abide in sin and keep exploiting God’s grace, one day the grace will no longer cover you.

David was a man after God’s heart, because he was always willing to walk upright before God. Though he fell to sin at times, his heart was always after God.

1Kings 14:8  And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;

King Hezekiah could go boldly before God to reverse his death because of his holiness.

And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. (Isaiah 38:3 KJV)

                                  

Men of Holiness perfom great exploits.

Joshua commanded the sun: On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel:  "O sun, stand still over Gibeon,  O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."   (Joshua 10:12 NIV)

Elijah commanded the rain: Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe [a] in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word." (1Kings 17:1 NIV)

Peter healed the beggar at the ‘beautiful gate’: Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. (Act 3:6-7 NIV) 

                            CCC Hymn 694

1.       Let us work for the purification of our souls

That the Lord may abide here with us

Let us work for Jehovah’s fold

Remembering the holy heaven

Let us work for the purification of our soul

And remember the mansion up above. 

2.       In our mist please descend O Lord we plead thee,

That we might all be in sanctity.

Holy Michael please help us we plead,

Out of all earthly temptation,

That the evil spirit we might all conquer,

Let us work with divine love. 

3.       In vain it is for man to hope

On earthly reassures that will vanish.

We should come together to accomplish

The mission that Christ has sent us

Through this shall we inherit the glorious crown

That God has promised unto us.

• If you pray for wealth from God, without holiness, you may not get it.

 

                   CCC HYMN 276

1.       Rejoice with us,

 ye brethren in Christ,

 for this goodluck we possess.

The hour of evil cometh,

that putteth the world in confusion.

O sinners repent from your sins,

In this celestial church. 

2.       The big ditch of destruction now opens,

to erupt all it bowls.

 If thou will not want to perish,

 before thy Lord and redeemer.

Cling unto Christ in Celestial church,

He surely would help you. 

3.       Shortly, the father would not know his child,

nor the child know his father.

Renounce the world now run to Christ,

He’s waiting in his holy place.

             Great tumult and destruction cometh,

come now to repentance. 

4.       I’m patiently waiting in my mercies,

calling on ye poor sinners.

This hour, come to repentance.

 Very soon the mercies will be no more.

 Forsake wickedness, sorcery, idols.

Christ surely will save us. 

5.       The entire world has sinned against me,

and yet I regard not their sins.

 I think not of heaven’s beauty.

The hairs on your head are counted.

That made me Christ bear the suffering.

 I say, come receive life. 

6.       And now for the destruction of this world,

I draw back with mercy.

And still, unbelief increases.

They worship Idols and sorcery.
They indulge in unspeakable wickedness.

Forsake them come to me.

7.        I have prepared many good things for you,

the shining crown of life.

Your mansion is waiting  for you.

On the suitable good firm ground.

Depart from this world and come to me.

 I’ll surely receive you.  (AMEN)

 

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. (Rev 14:13 KJV)

 

                        CCC HYMN 580

1.        When the trumpet of the

Lord would sound and work would be no more

            Those living shall be called from the four corners.

To give account of their works

Before the Lord and our savior

When the trumpet will be blown

I would be there.

Chorus: When the trumpet would be blown yonder
               When the trumpet would be blown yonder
               When the trumpet would be blown I will be there.

2.       We shall all be singing

From the morning time till the evening,

We shall all give glory to God Almighty

Our Lord and redeemer
shall be calling us his good children,

When the trumpet will be blown
 I will be there. 

                Chorus

3.       We the redeemed shall fly higher

And shall not become wearied

To meet Christ the Lord Jesus our savior

We shall now be in protection
 of our God forever more

Halleluyah henceforth shall be our song. 

                  Chorus

 

            Hymn 78
Halleluyah, Heralds my joy
As I receive thine forgiveness.
Any where that I may be.
I Fear not for Jesus is there. 

The moment you start to live in holiness, you will begin to notice positive changes in your life.

 

                              Hymn 713.

1.       When the heavenly bell Shall sound

We children of Celestial

Weshall stand, we shall stand

Before our Lord, Before our Lord.

Chorus:   We shall all stand before him
                 We shall sing with the Angels
                 Glory Glory to our king
                 Halleluyah Halleluyah.
                 We all shall stand, before him

2.       Celestial Church be prepared

Girldle up your loins firmly

Because, Because

When Jesus shall come

                           Chorus
                          (AMEN)
