02- 11- 11 MI DAILY DEVOTION (Ezekiel 22:30; II Corinthians 6:16- 17)
GOD IS LOOKING FOR A MAN WHO IS WILLING TO SEPARATE…
22- “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.” 16- “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17- Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,”
God is looking for a man who is willing to be separated from the world and its evil system. God is a just, holy and righteous God and He will not use a man or a woman who are not willing to separate from evil. There’s a big difference between a separatists and a man separated from the worldly system. You must be clean and a vessel that is pleasing to God. In as much as we don’t want to use a dirty plate or cup; the Lord who is Holy and just will not use a Christian who is not living his /her life accordingly, or according to the Word of God and according to the will of God. (I Timothy 3:7; 6:11; II Timothy 2:20- 21) “Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 20- But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21- If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.”
The Apostle Paul said in (Romans 12:1- 2)1- “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2- And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” It’s just so easy to blend in with the crowd, but to be someone who would want to make a difference and who is willing to stand up for God is something that you really need the courage, integrity and the dignity. You need to be strong to be able to stand up for what is right and for the glory of God. Living in righteousness and in holiness is not an overnight thing. You need to have the love, passion and dedication for God. You need the grace of God to be able to stand up for what is right and noble.
(I Corinthians 6:15- ) 15- “Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16- What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17- But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18- Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19- What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20- For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.”
Im blessed..
