February 2013: The Month of Holiness


Beloved,

            Be blessed in Jesus mighty and holy name.

            The month of February being the month of Holiness is with us, at a time of deep consecration, prayer and fasting which the RCCG Worldwide is presently engaged in.

            Since holiness is obedience to the word of God and is learnt through the things we have suffered (Heb 5:8).

            My prayer is that as we afflict our body and soul through fasting, God will make us holy as He is holy. (1Pet 1:15-16)

            When the Lord Jesus began His earthly ministry at age 30, he was led to be baptized at the river Jordan. (Matt 3:13)

            Thereafter the heavens opened to Him and the Father gave a word of affirmation of His Son when He said, “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.”

            Jesus was thereafter led by the Holy Spirit to the wilderness, where He was tempted by the devil, yet He did not sin.

            May we hear God clearly speaking to us as we wait on Him this season. As we hear God, may we also go ahead to obey Him, totally and completely in Jesus Name.

            Holiness can therefore be our lifestyle as we make reading, hearing and doing the Word of God our daily habit.

            Our lives will be very pleasing to God, victory will be ours always and the enemy will never come near us or any of ours, in Jesus Name.

Shalom in the month of holiness,

Pastor Chris Ogali
