COVENANT STEPS TOWARDS LIVING A SANCTIFIED LIFE
If the devil cannot get you to sin, he cannot sink you.
Sin is the bait of the devil.
What is sanctification?
1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 | Romans 8:30
Sanctification is the will of God - To abstain from fornication.
We should possess our vessel (Body) in sanctification and honor!
Sanctification is separation unto God for holiness, righteousness, and uprightness.
Sanctification is what leads to promotion!
It is inner purity with outer reflections.
Matthew 5:8
Only the pure in heart can see (visualize) God.
There is always what to do to stay sanctified.
Hebrews 10:36 | 1Thess 5:23 | Luke 6:46
The proof of obedience is in the doing!
Prayer is not a substitute for the spirit of faith.
Only those who walk in the fear of God thrive in hard times.
Without sanctification, abundance can pose to be dangerous!
Until you are built up, you have no access to inheritance amongst them that are sanctified.
Acts 20:32 | Numbers 12:13
You weary God with repentance if you are a perpetual sinner!
It is wisdom to run away from sin!
What are the demands for sanctification?
1. PURIFY YOURSELF
1 John 1:3-3 - 8
We have a responsibility to purify ourselves!
To commit sin is to be a child of the devil.
2. PURGE YOURSELF
Purge yourself of evil imagination and thoughts
2 Timothy 2:19 - 21
It is your personal responsibility to purge yourself - get rid of besetting sins.
3. FLEE YOUTHFUL LUST
2 Timothy 2:22 | 1 Corinthians 6:18
Run with speed from youthful lust.
Flee fornication.
4. ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCES OF EVIL
1 Thess 5:22
Once it is coming, "pick race"!
5. PUT OFF THE OLD MAN
Your old man is still craving for expression.
Collossain 3:9
6. PUT ON THE NEW MAN - THE RENEWED MAN (NEW MINDSET)
2 Corinthisn 5;17 | Colossians 3:10
7. GIVE NO PLACE FOR THE DEVIL
1 Peter 5:8 | John 10:10 | Matthew 6:13 | Ephesians 4:27 | James 4:7
Where you give the devil is where he occupies
Resist the devil.
What you don't resist has the right to remain!
8. EXERCISE YOURSELF UNTO GODLINESS
1 John 4:17 | 1 Timothy 4:7-8
Be practical with your fight against sin and its attendant habits.
9. DO NOT BE UNEQUALLY YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 | 1 Corinthians 15:33
10. TAKE REGULAR SHOWER IN THE WORD OF GOD
Psalm 119:9-11
11. ENGAGE HOLY GHOST TO MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE FLESH

12. WATCH AND PRAY
Pray more in the Holy Ghost.
