And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. – Exodus 19:10-11
Beloved, there is one very very important question that you must plead with the blessed Holy Spirit to help you discover.
This discovery must be with utmost certainty and thoroughness.
This becomes necessary because of the indescribable pains our Lord goes through always, because of the multitude of the so called professing ministers and believers from the universal church globally who are thronging to hell daily.
The singular reason for this is not far fetched.
Despite their profession of faith and tireless labour, they are not known in heaven to either our loving Father in heaven. They are not known to Jesus our Lord and His holy angels
See what this scriptures says. I want you to ponder on it sincerely and seriously, so that , the eternal misfortune of all these people who have gone to hell from the global church, might not happen to you too. It shall not in Jesus name..
Mat 7:21 — Mat 7:23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes. – Exodus 19:10-11
Beloved, do you see the response of our merciful Redeemer to these people from His church globally. I never know you.
Ask yourself again and again. With your profession of faith and labour and your investment to His kingdom. Does He know you?
You must not get to the other side of heaven or when the dawning rapture has taken place, before you in particular discover the true status of your association and relationship with our Lord.
Beloved, the simple reason why these painful and shameful misfortune happen to these people from the universal church of Christ, globally is their willful disposition to the most important will of God.
Our Lord lay emphasis on doing the will of His Father.
Always remember this. Don’t ever ever forget. There is one will of God you must embrace and live the lifestyle for a lifetime. See it.
1Th 4:3 — 1Th 4:4 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
Beloved, when you commit yourself to embrace and live this particular will of God as a lifestyle. Every other wills of God in the Bible, becomes seamless.
It is because of this that made our loving Father in heaven to lay more emphasis on it from time immemorial. See it.
Lev 11:44 For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Lev 20:7 — Lev 20:8 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God. And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord which sanctify you.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes. – Exodus 19:10-11
Beloved, check the Bible either in the old or new testaments, you will discover, when something supernatural is set to happen from heaven, God’s people are called to sanctify themselves. See the following instances.
1. When the Lord wanted to visit Israel at Sinai. They were told to sanctify themselves.
Exo 19:10 — Exo 19:11 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
2. When the Lord was set to open River Jordan for Israel to pass. He called them to sanctify themselves.
Jos 3:5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
When the blessed Holy Spirit was to come upon the disciples in the upper room.
The prayer of our Lord Jesus Christ for them to be sanctifiied .
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
And their own continual prayers for ten days none stop for themselves, sanctifiied them.
This became evidenced and noticeable by the oneness in their midst, which was a manifestation of sanctifiied lives.
Act 2:1 — Act 2:4 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes. – Exodus 19:10-11
Beloved, in the same token, when heavens is going to open for the saints of God to be caught up and meet our Lord in the air, only the sanctifiied shall be raptured.
Jesus Christ our Lord and the blessed Holy Spirit said so. See them.
Jesus.
Eph 5:25 — Eph 5:27 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 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.

Mat 3:13 — Mat 3:15 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
