*SANCTIFIED BY GOD THE FATHER* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them†(though they are required by the law of Moses). Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.†He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time."* (Hebrews 10:8â€-‬10 (NLT))
_Bible Insight:_
To understand sanctification, we need to understand it with the insight from the Old Testament.
When Jesus came to die, he was actually providing another better and superior alternative to the sin problem.
This came about by canceling the first process that involved animal sacrifices. These were used as a way to sanctify the sinner. But it worked only as a temporary measure.
Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice which those animal sacrifices heralded. Jesus was the real source of sanctification. By his death and his blood, we secure sanctification in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 10:10 (KJV) speak of the sacrifice of Jesus, his laying down his life according to God's will, as that *"By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."*
This is the foundation of our sanctification experience. This is the access point to our sanctification process. This is the first fold of sanctification. Without this first fold, no amount of works or obedience will further ensure sanctification.
However, once we have entered the experience of sanctification through Christ, we are by the same requirements of sanctification, expected to take it a step further, which is the second fold.
_MEDITATION:_
*For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren* (Hebrews 2:10-11 (KJV))

*SANCTIFIED BY GOD THE FATHER*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called."* (Jude 1:1 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
*"Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"*
In John 10:36, that was what Jesus asked the Jews who wanted to stone him for making himself equal with God by claiming he was the son of God.
The point for me is that Jesus regarded himself as *"him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world."*
Truly, that is the reality everyone who claims to follow Jesus must have. *We are those whom the Father had sanctified and sent into this world of sin and corruption.*
When you consider the meaning of sanctification, you will realize that if we were not in this decaying world, we won't be in need of sanctification.
Sanctification is therefore a must for every follower of Jesus, who have been saved. To be sanctified is to be made holy, and set aside for sacred or ceremonial use.
Your sanctification is a big deal for God. If Jesus was sanctified, none of us will do without sanctification.
A close scrutiny at scriptures will reveal that sanctification is two fold. And this we shall study more of as God gives us grace.
_MEDITATION:_
*The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.* -- Paul David Tripp.

*“HE ANOINTS MY HEAD WITH OIL"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over."* (Psalms 23:5 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
I always wondered what this part of Psalm 23 meant. I thought “He anoints my head with oil†was figurative language for God keeping the Psalmist healthy. I never knew this parallel.
Sheep can get their head caught in briers and die trying to get untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils which turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes to death. Their ears and eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects.
So, the shepherd anoints their whole head with oil. Then there is peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that tries to destroy the sheep.
Do you have times of mental torment? Do worrisome thoughts invade your mind over and over? Do you beat your head against a wall trying to stop them? Have you ever asked God to anoint your head with oil? He has an endless supply! His oil protects and makes it possible for you to fix your heart, mind, and eyes on Him today and always! There is peace in the valley! May our good Father anoint your head with oil today so that your cup overflows with blessings! God is good and He is faithful!!â€
_MEDITATION:_
*The oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God's antidote to enable the believer stay protected in this poisonous world.* -- David Joshua Egbochuo

*RAISE A PRAYER ALTAR FOR MISSIONARIES*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God's mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike. I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God's ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should."* (Ephesians 6:19-20 (NLT))
_Bible Insight:_
GO into the world and be involved in MISSIONS.
Even if you can't, for certain reasons, PLEASE PRAY FOR MISSIONARIES. They seem to be the target of the enemy as we speak.
Pray for:
Safety & Provision, among others.
We need your prayers NOW than before.
The GOSPEL needs to be preached at all cost but it doesn't have to be by the blood of men when it could be averted.
Hearing of the transition of missionaries from all around the world, on mission fields, is capable of weakening the resilience of others.
Please PRAY FOR MISSIONARIES.
Please GIVE TO MISSIONS.
Please GO FOR MISSIONS.
I speak as one who has a FIRSTHAND experience of what missionaries go through to make sure the GOSPEL is preached to the unreached.
May the LORD give the Church understanding and cause the LIGHT of the GOSPEL to spread beyond our laxity in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
_MEDITATION:_
*A believer that is not involved in missions cannot possibly be following Christ who is God's missionary from heaven to earth.* -- David Joshua Egbochuo

*CALLED TO PRAY FOR THE NATIONS-- SUDAN* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel."* (Ephesians 6:18-19 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
PRAY FOR SUDAN-
For families in Sudan, holding on to hope at present is a great challenge. Those stepping out of their front door do not know whether they will return alive.
Please pray for safety for those living with fear. Local church leaders tell Open Doors that the climate of fear is now being fanned by politicians. Voices from the old Bashir regime are now openly suggesting the move to democracy was an error, and that the only peace now lies in a return to the authoritarian rule of the past.
Please pray that the Sudanese people reject these voices. Local church leaders ask that we pray for justice and healing – and an outcome that does not open the way for more radical Islamist groups.
Please pray that the Sudanese people continue to fight for a government that respects human rights, freedom of worship and dignity for all.
_MEDITATION:_
*Making prayers for the nations is a call and an assignment given to every follower of Jesus.* -- David Joshua Egbochuo
