Leviticus 20:8, “I am the Lord who sanctifies you. “
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious word of the Lord is taken from the book of Leviticus 20:8, “I am the Lord who sanctifies you. “
If a man must live a holy life, then he should obey the commandments of God. In this world, the Government has framed many laws, rules, and regulations for people to follow. If they don’t follow these rules then they are punished for offending the laws laid down by the government. Likewise, God too has laid down certain rules and regulations for His children to follow so that they may inherit eternal life. If you follow and obey those rules then you can live a holy life. God can make you holy if you submit yourself unto Him. When you become holy, miracles will begin to happen. Today you are expecting many miracles to happen in your life. And to obtain those miracles you need to do a lot of backup tasks. But you often forget to do them. There is a beautiful verse in the Bible that says, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you”. (Joshua 3:5)
My dear children of God, why has God set up the plan of being holy before you receive a miracle, God thinks that, only if holiness is the option to receive miracles, then people will learn to be holy and perfect in life. One can be holy only if he obeys the word of God and His commandments
In the Bible we can see, Israel had been in the wilderness for 40 years. Now they are about to cross over the Jordan River into the promised land. At that time the Lord spoke through Joshua, to the people of Israel, saying “Today you sanctify yourself, tomorrow the waters of river Jordan will go back”. So, all the people sanctified themselves. And the next day when the High priests, who were holy and anointed by God stepped into the river, the waters of river Jordan went behind and separated a way for them to pass through. Likewise, whatever may be the way you think has not been opened for you until this day, will be opened in your life, provided you sanctify yourself. And then God will perform miracles for you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for speaking to us through the verse “I am the Lord who sanctifies you”. Dear Lord, my children are waiting for many miracles to happen in their lives. Grant them their request. Help them to sanctify themselves to obtain these miracles from You. Lord, give them the grace to obey the commandments of God and follow the precepts of God. Open ways, that have not been opened for a very long time. Grant them ways that cannot be shut down and help them to live in peace. Cause them to expand to the right and the left and extend the borders of their territory.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
