Take away the filthy garment

 

Text: Zechariah 3:4(KJV)    

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

Certain times, we get ourselves entangled with the devil because of our filthy garment, and due to this entanglement, He gains access or should I say legal right into our life, but the good news is due to the fact that Jesus has given up His life for us, we have been given authority to discard those filthy garments. God is so merciful, and that is why He sent His only begotten son to die and wash off that iniquity which separates us from God. The devil is the author of evil, and that is why He is trying to use those filthy garments as leverage to accuse us, but we need to resist all those tricks and remember to have a strong faith in God. Luke 22:32- But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

One mistake we make is we hold unto those filthy garments because of guilt, but we must remember Christ died so that those guilt and filthy garments will be cleansed from us. Brethren, all we need to do is to identify those filthy garments, rebuke the devil, and learn to walk in obedience to God’s words. Never forget you are God’s own, and you are called His chosen generation. 1 Peter 2:9- But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. So start today to be determined, and I pray those ugly garments in our lives will be removed, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS:

1.Oh Lord, please take away all the filthy garments of sin that have clothed my expression of God’s purpose, in Jesus name.

2. Oh Lord, please help me to examine myself so as to showcase God’s glory in Jesus name.
