DAILY SPIRITUAL FOOD; THE COMPLEX WEB CALLED HOLINESS. Holiness is a complex web of spiritual idea that branches into various levels of understanding. Holiness is the absence of sin (impurity) and the presence of Gods righteousness in the life of a christian believer or circumstance, which means that Holiness involves everything that concerns a human life,body,spirit ,soul, both animate and inanimate objects dedicated for worship and service to a Holy God. In that day “HOLINESS TO THE LORD” shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to the Lord of hosts. Everyone who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them. In that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.Zechariah 14;20-21 These includes,our physical and spiritual possessions. It is the very nature of God that uniquely positions him shoulders above every other being//Isaiah 6;3,Psalm 87;1,Psalm 96;9,Psalm 97;2 Psalm 99;9//Holiness is progressive perfection into true christian maturity until we ,by the help of the Holy spirit,attain the nature,stature and image of Christ whom we shall look like when He returns. Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.1 John 3;1-3 The following are different branches of Gods kind of Holiness; 1.Holiness as an act of Divine(Calvary) love 2.Holiness as an act of obedience 3.Holiness as an act of Humility. 4.Holiness as an act of giving 5. Holiness as an act of consecration(total dedication/submission/surrender) 6.Holiness as an act of sanctification(separation from the world of sin/Evil or being set apart) for true christian/Divine service to the Lord 7.Holiness as an act of Faithfulness 8.Holiness as an act of Prayer. Friends ,God demands a high standard of Holiness and has thus set up a unique referenced model of Holiness//He took Isaiah ,Jeremiah,and Ezekiel to his Holy throne and showed them his standard of Holiness He requires from his obedient children. He asked them to set this standard for his followers; Isaiah 6;1-13,Isaiah 49;22,Jeremiah 4;6-7,Ezekiel 44;1-16. We must therefore enlist the support and ministry of the Holy spirit to enable us attain this standard of heavenly Holiness if we stand a chance of making heaven// Remember our self -righteousness or self- efforts can not help us measure up to his standard. I pray that His unfailing grace locates and assists us attain this heavenly standard of holiness in Jesus precious and helpful name,Amen. A highway shall be there, and a road,And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.The unclean shall not pass over it,But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool,Shall not go astray. No lion shall be there,Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there.But the redeemed shall walk there, And the ransomed of the Lord shall return,And come to Zion with singing,With everlasting joy on their heads.They shall obtain joy and gladness,And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.Isaiah 35;8-10 Be encouraged saints of God //I wish you heaven at the long last//More grace and remain rapture ready always.
