TITLE: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANOINTING AND HOLINESS

DATE: MONDAY MAY 24 2021

​TEXT: HEBREWS 12: 12-17

KEY VERSE: “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” Romans 11:29.

If righteousness and holiness can be added to your service, you will be a vessel unto honour made for the master’s use, ready to be with Him and to serve Him forever. If you are not connected with God in righteousness and holiness, how will you get to heaven for your reward for the great service? Are you a beautiful bride of Christ without character? Or are you the beautiful bride of Christ with questionable character? A beautiful woman that has no character is like a jewel in the nose of a pig. Are you the beautiful bride of Christ with sin? Bride of Christ, is your husband happy with you?

Anointing is different from Holiness. Service is for the earth and holiness is for heaven. You can be operating in service and still have some hidden sins; envy, malice, bitterness, contention, forgiveness, pride, anger, rage, lust, greed, hatred etc. Service is for the earth but it is Holiness that qualifies for heaven. Our Emphasis should not be on power but on Holiness. Power is for service on earth. What takes one to heaven is Holiness. Take care of your soul, this body shall perish on earth and can be in hell but your soul is the one that can go to heaven and what your soul need now is righteousness and Holiness. There is a difference between anointing and holiness.

God will not withdraw his gifts in you because you put on a ring, or wear trouser, but He will never give you heaven or take you there because heaven is for purity. In a great house there are not only vessels of honour but vessels of dishonour. Where do you belong? Note that God keeps records. He knows how you treat your spouse at home. God knows what you do in the school. Cheating in examinations, work place, business etc has removed your name in the book of life. You render great service but you are not holy. Service and anointing is different from righteousness and holiness.

Thought for the day: Service and Calling ends on earth; Righteousness and Holiness takes one to heaven.

Song for the day: Open my eyes O Lord.
