Without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Hebrews 12:14 (NIV)

 

Holiness is both a reality and a process.

We are made holy and becoming holy. Being made holy is our justification, and becoming holy is our sanctification, and sanctification ultimately leads to our glorification. As we walk in the reality of who we are already in Christ Jesus, the fullness of what we have in Him leads to greater faithfulness and fruitfulness.

Again, holiness is not perfectionism, but rather God's grace working in us to lead a holy and fruitful life. His Spirit will graciously strengthen and sustain our desire to be holy, enabling us to truly live as sons and daughters united in the oneness of the Trinity. In other words, the heart of holiness is about perfecting our understanding of our relationship with God. The more we know who God is to us, the more intimate we are with God.

Choose a life of revolutionary holiness.

Revolutionary holiness is a genuine desire for God to act and transform according to His will, as well as fully surrendering ourselves to persistently pursue everything that God wants to do through us for our community, city, and society. Thus, holiness encompasses more than only spiritual disciplines, but also practical actions that embody the principles and values of the Kingdom of God. This explains why revolutionary holiness was and is the driving force behind every revival and move of God.

Holiness precedes any extraordinary move of God and holiness sustains all movements of God. We are in the precipice of being part of something God is about to usher us into, so we must wait on God. Be relentless in prayers, knowing God honour persistence and courage to reflect His holiness to a world needing the salvation He offers.
