MY FRIENDS, ONLY IN HIS NAME SAKE CAN WE CLAIM VICTORY!!

My friends in the wake of all that is going on in our world today what are you doing at this moment, how are you responding spiritually as God calls you to come out of Babylon and what are you doing for His Name sake, If God’s mission is to be completed in our lifetime.

The power of transformation should be going on in our lives right now as we Allow the work of “God’s Holy Spirit each day to convict, instruct, guide and empower each believer…just before the coming of our Savior Jesus Christ.” (M. Finley)

The question we all must ask ourselves, what is more important than our salvation. In spite of God’s grace gradually being removed from this earth, there is still an abundance of greater grace for everyone, personally, who seeks it, but most are taking a foolish path.

“When the richest abundance of grace shall be bestowed, most intend to open their hearts to receive it. They are making a terrible mistake. The work that God has begun in the human heart in giving His light and knowledge must be continually going forward. Every individual must realize his own necessity.

The heart must be emptied of every defilement, and cleansed for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit …” ”There must be a constant development of Christian virtue, a constant advancement in Christian experience. This we should seek with intensity of desire, that we may adorn the doctrine of Christ our Savior.” (E.G. White)

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light to shine in our hearts. John tells us in 1 John 1:5 (NIV) This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

So that text tell us, if that light that leads to our salvation comes from our Savior, then our hearts must never cease to stay focused on where it is coming from and what we must do to obtain it. The challenge for most of us is in allowing self to die and turning our life over to the unknown or maybe we are just terrified where Christ may lead.

But my friends remember “The Lord is our shepherd; we shall not want.” And He also leadeth each of His children who have accepted Him as the Good Shepherd “in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”

And it is “for his name sake” that we must consecrate our life today. Yes My friends we must die daily and live our life through Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins, and is now our mediator and advocate.

In addition, God’s credibility to the universe is based on His living up to “His name’s sake” as the one and only God, who’s precepts are holy and based on, love, truthfulness, grace, mercy and through His Son Jesus Christ is our only path to salvation.

1 John 2:12 (KJV) tells us, I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for “His name’s sake”.  1 Samuel 12:22 (KJV) also tells us “For the Lord will not forsake his people for His great name’s sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you” a “chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession,” 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)

And my friends, What is so amazing, our proud Father can say with no reservations “Have you” considered my Sons and daughters, “that there is none like them on the earth”, a blameless and upright generation, A generation “who fears God and shuns evil?”

Oh what an honor to have God speak of His faithful as “His name’s sake”. But my friends, this only happens when we have allowed God to transform us mentally and spiritually into His Image through the blood of His Son.

Consistent with this, once our Character is like His and we have been identified as his sons and daughters because of our faith and endurance, we then demonstrate our love for what was done for us at Calvary as we spread the good news of the gospel throughout the world in “His name’s sake”,

And one day soon, we will forever claim victory throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity, “for His name’s sake”  

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
