Date: November 5, 2024
Location: Faith Tabernacle, Ota
Speaker: Bishop David Oyedepo
Beloved brethren, on this blessed day, we gather in the house of the Lord, ready to receive His Word. Today, we focus on “Understanding Pathways to Sanctification,” drawn from the profound truth of Psalm 23:3. Our God is a God of order, and He has laid down pathways for us to walk in righteousness. As it is written, He will not command us to do what He has not equipped us to accomplish (1 John 5:3, John 14:21).
Sanctification is not a mere gift bestowed upon us; it is a conscious choice we make (Deuteronomy 30:19). Each of us has the power to choose a life that honors God, a life that sets the foundation for our glorious destiny in Christ. Remember the words of 2 Timothy 2:19-21: “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” This is a call to action, a call to purity, and a call to live according to His standards.
The benefits of sanctification are manifold! Firstly, it secures our access to our inheritance in Christ, as proclaimed in Obadiah 1:17 and Acts 20:32. Secondly, it enhances the effectiveness of our prayers, allowing us to stand boldly before God, as we see in Psalm 66:18-20. Lastly, it procures divine health for us, enabling us to walk in the fullness of His promise (John 5:14, Mark 2:2-5).
To achieve sanctification, we must purpose in our hearts to live a sanctified life, just as Daniel did (Daniel 1:8). We must be vigilant, watching and praying, as the enemy prowls like a roaring lion (Matthew 26:41, 1 Peter 5:8-9). Engage the cleansing power of the Word daily (Ephesians 5:26). And above all, let your faith be strong, for it is through faith that we can please God and walk in holiness (Hebrews 11:5-6).
But let us not ignore the grave cost of ungodliness. It blocks our access to help in times of trouble (Isaiah 38:3), destroys destinies (1 Timothy 6:10-11), and cuts us off from divine secrets that lead to success (Job 29:4). These divine secrets are the master keys to life’s doors, revealing paths we must tread (Deuteronomy 29:29).
Pride is the most subtle form of ungodliness that can hinder our walk with God. Remember, every good thing comes from the Lord (1 Corinthians 4:7). Therefore, let the fear of the Lord be your lifestyle, and know that true repentance rewrites our past (Ezekiel 18:20-22).
Maintain your walk with God, and you will find peace amidst any storm. Whatever displeases God creates a disconnect between us and Him. Let us choose today to walk the path of sanctification, securing our destinies and fulfilling His purpose in our lives. Amen.
