Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | December 17, 2018. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. – Daniel 1:8.

Even though all men has fallen short of God’s Glory by the sin of Adam, Man at the point of beleiving in Christ becomes righteous and are seen by God as undefiled and pure.

All we need do is to walk in the reality of our new status.

Beloved, God loves His people of all ages and desires to abide and dwell with them here and hereafter.

However, He can not tolerate any form of uncleanliness or defilements from a person or even a whole nation, because He is holy .

Habakkuk 1:13. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

1 Peter 1:14-16. As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

To enable God to dwell among His people, He commanded them, that, they should not defile themselves with anything.

Leviticus 11:44-45. 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. For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

Numbers 35:34. Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel. This consciousness was what made Daniel to purpose in his heart not to defile Himself, so that, he could secure and sustain His presence and favour.

Daniel 1:8-9. But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.

Beloved, do you also desire to secure and sustain God’s ceaseless favour, then follow after the example of Daniel. Severally in the scriptures God warned His people of all ages of the painful consequences of defilements .

Leviticus 18:24-28. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

Ezekiel 20:7-8. Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

God says detest defilements and purified yourself and I will visit and bless you as I promised Israel it shall be so in Jesus name.

Ezekiel 37:22-23. And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

Dearly beloved, in deed it is wonderful to be biblically saved and becoming a new creature. But then, you need more to be able to see God. It takes pure heart for anyone and everyone to see God at the end of time.

Matthew 5:8. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

THIS INFORMS WHY YOU MUST MUSTER HOLY MUSCEL AND KEEP YOUR HEART PURE. Whatever you permit from your heart has tendency to defile you and close the door of life eternal against you. This shall never be your portion in Jesus name.

Mark 7:15: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

Mark 7:20-23. And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

God had decreed to destroy anyone that defiles His temple, your heart.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. See things that can defile the heart and watch against them.

Titus 1:15: Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

James 3:6. And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Jude 1:8. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

The consequence of defile heart is denial of eternity with God. See it yourself.

Revelation 21:27. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

As you sincerely examine yourself and discover any form of defilements, then get it cleansed, using the precious blood of Jesus. The good Lord shall help you in Jesus name.

Hebrews 13:12-14. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

JESUS’S PERTINENT COUNSEL TO BELIEVERS OF ALL AGES, ESPECIALLY YOU, ON THE ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES OF DEFILEMENTS.

Friend, the dawning rapture is meant for pure vessels like you. The abominable and defiled worldlings and care free churchgoers shall not be part of it.

Closely examine yourself with those things that shall disqualified them and ensure, you are not found wanting on any of them. The good Lord shall be there for you in Jesus name.

Revelation 21:8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Revelation 22:15: For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

For the likes of you that shall partake you must be blameless by His grace, till our Lord appear in the air to take us home.

1 Thessalonians 5:22-24. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

So determinedly and continually cleanse yourself from everything and anything that can disqualify you. You shall not be disqualified in Jesus name.

2 Corinthians 7:1. Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
