“Faithful is He that called you, who also will do it”.
1 ThesSALONIANS 5:24
Apostle Paul in verse 5:23 ministered to his Spiritual brothers and sisters that they should keep their whole body, soul and spirit blameless till the second coming of Jesus.
That is sanctification, which means making perfect, whole, pure, holy, complete and blameless. Jesus sanctified us by faith through His blood He shed on the cross. After that He sent Holy Spirit to do the work of sanctification. Now we need to immerse in the water of the word and that water purifies us from inside. Then we feel peace and grace.
We have to apply what we learn from the word .All our organs to be made whole, eyes from lust, mouth and tongue sanctified so our speech is beneficial to all, ears should be prevented from gossip, lies, vulgarity etc. Our mind should be sanctified by thinking what is good, noble, pure, healthy and pleasing to the Lord, hands do only what pleases God and legs should take us only to places where God allows. We have to do and obey what the word taught us.
Our priorities, intentions, and goals need to be pleasing to the Lord.
In 1Thessolonians 5:24 says
And absolutely worthy of trust, “He will do it”.He will fulfill His call by making us Holy, guarding us, watching over us and protecting us as His own.
Apostle Paul expresses his confidence in bcGod in these four words.
- We do not have to worry;
- ‘He will do it’.
- He will save us.
- We must make our minds doubtless by meditating on His promises.
Our prayers won’t go in vain for He will answer it in His own time.
I have a testimony. After my son’s marriage they waited for ten years to have a child. But I have a peace and confidence that God will provide. Then on the ninth year God gave me a promise that “you will see your children’s children Psalms 128:6.. After that with confidence I told everybody about God’s promise and He fulfilled it immediately. So believe in the promises that “He will do it” in His own time. We need to fully trust in His promises and stay faithful and blameless. We should not put your legs in two boats when the waves come it will depart and we will be drowned. Luke 16:9-13.We cannot serve two masters, God and mammon. God will multiply what we have in our hand for our needs and to spare to the poor. He will satisfy our spiritual hunger with His word and our physical needs also.
Heavenly Father help us to examine ourselves and sanctify all areas of our life every day. We thank you for hearing our prayers and answering them. Amen
