7 HABITS FOR LIVING A HOLY LIFE

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: 7 HABITS FOR LIVING A HOLY LIFE

How does Scripture want us to be able to define ourselves?
1 Peter 1:15-16 (HCSB)
As the One who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct; for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy.

There you have it, we are to be holy! Why? Because God is Holy

1. Following the SAVIOR - You Must Devote Your Life to Follow Christ

2 Timothy 2:8-9a (HCSB)
Keep in mind Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descended from David, according to my gospel. For this I suffer, to the point of being bound like a criminal.

2. USING SCRIPTURE GUIDE TO OUR LIVE -
You Must Submit to the Authority of the Scripture as a
Daily Guide In Your Life.

Psalm 1:1-2 (HCSB) How happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join a group of mockers! 2 Instead, his delight is in the LORD's instruction, and he meditates on it day and night.

3. SUPPLICATION - You Must Seek God Daily In Prayer

1 Thess. 5:17 (HCSB) Pray constantly. (Imperative)

4. LEADING BY THE SPIRIT - You Must Allow the Holy Spirit to Lead You Daily

Galatians 5:16-26 (HCSB)
I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar, about which I tell you in advance—as I told you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit. 26 We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

5. BE PART OF GOD'S SAINTS -
You Must Be Accountable to God’s House and His People

Hebrews 10:25 (HCSB)
Not staying away from our meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

6. SANCTIFICATION - You Must Be Obedient In Separating Yourself from the World

1 Thessalonians 4:3 (HCSB)
For this is God’s will, your sanctification…
2 Corinthians 6:17 (HCSB) Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord.

7. SERVICE - You Must Seek to Serve the Body of Christ – Find Your Ministry!
Proverbs 3:28 (HCSB) Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go away! Come back later. I’ll give it tomorrow”—when it is there with you.

As you find yourself in this seven ways may God help you to do it rightly in Jesus name

LET US PRAY
FATHER GIVE US YOUR GRACE TO PUT YOUR CHARACTER IN OUR LIFE IN JESUS NAME AMEN
