Dearly beloved,
As I was involved in staff prayer meeting today, as is the norm every Wednesday,
my spirit was stirred up.
It came this way:
Road of Righteousness,
Pathway of Purity,
Highway of Holiness.
Jesus says: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matt 6:33).
Paul told Timothy, his own son in the faith: "Keep thyself pure" (Tim 5:22).
Isaiah said in his prophecy: "And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein" (Isaiah 35:8).
We are living in an age in which many believe that in Christianity, you can do anything anyhow and it does really matter. It is noteworthy in these passages that the foundation of God stands sure: 'every one that names the name of Christ should depart from iniquity' (2Tim 2v22) and we should like Paul the Apostle put it in the Scriptures: 'work out your salvation with fear and trembling' (Phil 2v13).
The day of the Lord is drawing near. We need to watch and pray lest we fall into temptation.
Thank God for His sufficient Grace that is able o keep us to the end.
We started the journey with Grace and it is Grace will lead us home on the Road of Righteousness, leading to Pathway of Purity and finally taking us to the Highway of Holiness. We shall then be in His Presence and we shall see Him as he is.
May we get there together with our garment white and unspotted; and our heads not lacking oil.
Remember He is coming for a glorious Church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing but that it should holy and without blemish(Eph 5v25-27).
Your comments are welcome!
Your brother and friend,
John Ekundayo.
