Practical Holiness [Sermon Note]
Pastor Prince
Go ye therefore, Jesus is now authorising us to preach the gospel. In His name, we shall cast out the devil and sickness
You cannot have 2 in 1 in one. You cast out demons
Jesus came that we might have life and have life more abundantly
To be like Jesus, Jesus is amazing. He is kind but He is firm
No actors can really portray Jesus
We need to have admiration of the Godly character of our Lord Jesus Christ
We tend to let our guard down when we are familiar with the person
Be like Jesus. True holiness and not pseudo holiness
It is more important what the spirit is saying
Don’t trust your flesh. Don’t counsel a girl behind closed door if you are a man
As thy day so shall thy your strength be
God wants us to lay hold on it.
As your days increased so shall your strength be
Secret to strong days!
Read the bible and bring plenty of water
You always get angry you grow old faster
A merry heart is a good medicine
Proverbs 17:22
A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones.
Once you are saved you are eternally saved
The answer is found in the name of Jesus
At the name of Jesus, every knee bow
Be happy!
Rejoice in the Lord
Philippians 3:1
All for Christ
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
God loves you
Matthew 15:21-28
Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
But He answered her not a word.
And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
The devil wants your mind. Guard your mind
Matthew 10:5-6
These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Don’t be discouraged with christians based on them
She dropped the pretence and said Lord help me!
Gentiles are known as dogs to the nation of Israel
Flowers just be themselves. They bloom and people are happy
Faith always unveil the Person of Jesus
The Lord wants you to be real
Don’t pray religious prayers
Speak to Him from your heart
Genesis 49:1
And Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:
Last days of the age of the law

“Bread from Asher shall be rich,
And he shall yield royal dainties.

And he shall yield royal dainties.
Genesis 49:17
Dan shall be a serpent by the way,
A viper by the path,
That bites the horse’s heels
So that its rider shall fall backward.
We find Jesus in all these
He triumph by not triumphing
Social media, freely go, freely go out
You are not face in the crowd. You are a face to Him
Matthew 15:21-22
Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
Discern the Lord’s body

Asher means happy!
Deuteronomy 33:24-25
And of Asher he said:
“Asher is most blessed of sons;
Let him be favored by his brothers,
And let him dip his foot in oil.
Your sandals shall be iron and bronze;
As your days, so shall your strength be.
Iron is very strong
Luke 10:19

Walk. Walk a lot. As your days increase, walk more
1 Kings 17:8-9
Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
1 Kings 17:10-16
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink.” And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
So she said, “As the LORD your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”
And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. For thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the LORD sends rain on the earth.’ ”
So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days. The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke by Elijah.
His bread shall be rich!
morsel of bread (crumb)
Bread and oil!
God’s way is generous heart becomes bountiful
When God gives you a chance to give, He is honouring you
Luke 4:25-26
But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
Luke 4:27-30
And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.”
So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.
