KEEP YOUR GARMENT CLEAN

Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Jude 1:23( And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh).


Jesus is coming back to a church without a spot and that is why it is very important to keep our garment clean without a spot. He hates the sight of any garment with spots no matter how tiny the spot is. Satan is walking up and down the earth tirelessly looking for clean garments to stain, so be careful and keep yours far away from him. As soon as he sets his eyes on a clean garment he will begin to stalk the person looking for any slight mistake to stain him or her. At new birth when you give your life to Christ, no matter how dirty your garment is, it will be made clean from every form of stain. Isaiah 1:18 (Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool). You become a new creature like a newborn baby who cannot be accused of any previous crime (2 Corinthians 5:17). Your new birth is causing the devil a headache and he will try to launch a counterattack to create a way for you to fall back into his trap. The truth you believe and receive about Christ has set you free from condemnation and the wrath of which is coming upon the children of disobedience. Keeping the same truth by studying the word will preserve your garment and keep it clean from every form of stain. Psalm 119:9 (Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. 10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee).

If you wander from the truth and go back to the world or refuse to stay away from the place where you were rescued; your garment will be susceptible to stain, which is a very serious spiritual crime; such people are referred to as dogs.

2 Peter 2:20 (For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire).


Stay away from those things that stain garments and remain clean and make yourself available for God's use. Be that vessel of honour prepared for the master's use for he does not use dishonour vessels. 

2 Peter 2:12 (But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness);

Friends, after reading the whole second Peter chapter two, I became very sad and scared. It is a serious betrayal to go back to the world after you have been saved but the good news is that no matter how far you might have gone on the other side you can still return. The clock is ticking and the bell will soon ring, so hurry up and come back and be washed. The scripture says if God did not spare the Angels that sinned how then do you think you can be spared; your saving grace is the blood of Jesus that cleanses. (1 Peter 1:18). 

He was that lamb that has no spot who had taken your place of punishment and not accepting his sacrifice is a greater sin. Quickly check yourself and see if there are spots, stains, or wrinkles because that is an automatic disqualification. So, hurry up and repent, surrender yourself for his cleansing, and be blessed, in Jesus' name.


Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

NENE ISAH,
