Purity is the single most powerful force that drives
self-preservation. You cannot live your life anyhow and expect not to be a
victim of early destruction. Anyhow
living simply leads to anyhow preservation! The difference between the one that
lives in purity and the one who doesn’t is the length at which they will be
preserved. Moses before he could handle the rod of miracles was tested on his
state of purity. He was told to place his hand on his chest which turned
leprous. At this point it was obvious that he couldn’t handle the rod of God if
there wasn’t any purity in his life.
Living life might not necessarily be something strange anymore
but being preserved against things others struggle with is what matters. You need to get to the point of saying “NO” to
certain things that will cause you to compromise on your Christian standards.
Opinions of people don’t matter: the standards of God is the ultimate and that
is where everyone should endeavour to ascribe to.
Many will be told to depart from the presence of God during
the judgment because they lived without any sign of purity. Have you ever
questioned why regardless of how much gifted a person might be, they never seem
to produce anything meaningful? The lack of intentional purity might be the
answer! All things are lawful onto me but not all are expedient. Once you come
to this point, you have to make the decision to live pure for yourself. There
is no way round living pure, acting pure and thinking pure as a child of God.
Living pure is something every Christian should endeavour
to. Many have the mind you judge them when you point out a fault in their
character, relationship etc. However, as Christians, we are meant to prove
others by how we live our lives. Until your life style speaks about your
relationship with Christ, you don’t have the moral right to speak of others.
When in doubt about living right and pure, remind yourself of what the whole of
Psalm 24 speaks on. What really gives me the kick is when the Psalmist
questions who will ascend onto the hill of God and stand in His holy place. He
gives the answer without wavering – “he that a clean hands and a pure heart.
To the pure all things are pure. The bible warns a lot about things that defile
a person. It’s about time you take
living right and pure for God seriously. Nothing you do for God will go
unrewarded. Purity carries with it a divine key that causes one have access to
untold breakthroughs. Purity is what makes the difference between two people in
life. To stand out and be different, preserved above others consider living
purely for God. Whatsoever things are lovely, pure, just, honest and of a good
report if there be any praise and virtue think on these.
