*TODAY’S THEME: Optimal and Continuous Sanitation of the Righteous*
Text: Ephesians 4:22-24
"[22]Strip yourselves of your former nature [put off and discard your old unrenewed self] which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion;
[23]And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude],
[24]And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God's image, [Godlike] in true righteousness and holiness."
*SHOWER:*
Sanitation is one thing every sane person is directly or indirectly engaging on at all time not minding their socioeconomic status in Society. If it is not keeping selves or love ones clean, it involves activities aimed at keeping the surroundings clean such as sweeping, cleaning, parking, relocating the refuse or burning and so on. When a place or person is clean, people intend to live and associate freely with them. Untidy environment is prone to erosion, sickness, death, etc. This is why the government at all levels constantly invest into environmental sanitation. Today, we are being reminded of the importance of sanitasing our spiritual and physical minds as Christians. It's not what should be done once and stop. When you become newly born-again, you're told to go for restitution. But Spirit and Physical sanitation is more than that. In verse two, we are told to do it more frequently. That is to always recognise yourself as a sinner and seek mercy of God. Not frugality, pride or ego like the Pharisee that stood to castigate others. In verse 23, it says that a person who is in Christ is expected to have a change of attitude, action, and so on. That is if you're previously known as a Church goer, you will seek to do one or two things in the Church. Or to help the needy around you, etc. Then to crown it all, you must live like Christ. Brethren look inward to see if you're abiding by this and make necessary corrections.
*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*
Oh God, I worship You for reminding me of what to do to prove that I am Your ambassador on Earth. My spirit is willing but my physical body is unwilling. Please have mercy on me, let Your Grace shines forth and make all the impossibilities possible in my life, Amen!
*1. I am alive today because of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, I live worship and serve Him alone.*
*2. Holy spirit of God, my life is available. Come over here to sanitise me.*
*3. O God, have Your way in my life.*
*4. Any atom of filtyness in my life, must vanish away now!*
*5. I hereby decree and declare that my God has taken over my life. Therefore, everything concerning me, my family, academics, business, spiritual life and so on must reflect Christ in Jesus name, Amen!*
