 ANCHOR OF LIFE DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE for MONDAY, 27th FEBRUARY, 2023.

Author: PASTOR DR. SAMUEL AYORINDE – General Overseer

Anchor of Life & Redemption Ministry Int’l

Topic: PRAISES FROM UNPOLLUTED HEART

MEMORIZE: “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name”  Psalm 100:4

SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 24:3-4

“Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.” 

EXPOSITION:

Men are created special in their creation with the purpose that is also special from other creatures. We are created and redeemed to show forth the praises of God who have redeemed us. 2 Peter 2:8 says “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” 

Therefore we must come before his presence with singing, not only songs of joy, but also songs of praise. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, Psalm 100:4.  We must not only comfort ourselves, but glorify God, with our joy, and let him have the praise of that which we have the pleasure of.  Be thankful to him and bless his name; that is, we must intermix praise and thanksgiving with all our services. This golden thread must run through every duty (Heb 13:15), for it is the work of angels. In everything give thanks, in every ordinance, as well as in every providence.

But before our presence and praises can be accepted before God, we must possess a pure heart and clean hands. “Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.”  Psalm 24:3-4. Any praise coming from a polluted heart can not enter his presence not to talk of being accepted. Each time David sinned, God in his love do chastises him and in return he usually sorry for his sins and repented. A repented heart, washed by the blood of Jesus is the one that can offer unpolluted praise unto God, who is holy.

PRAYER POINT:  Lord, I sanctify my heart by the blood of Jesus Christ and make me holy and acceptable to you in Jesus name. 

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR –  Deuteronomy 31-34.
