HIS TRAIT

Read:1Peter 1:13-21 *But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.* (1 Peter 1:15) Holiness is an attribute of God, it is his trait in us. It is a character which He (God), expects everyone who loves and serves Him to emulate and have. *Holiness means pure without blemish, spots or wrinkles.* *Holiness implies being set apart for God's use and glory.* Any life still stainted with sin need cleansing to be holy. Our conduct must be holy; *our thoughts, actions, desires, expectations,* and so on must be holy to the Lord. We must possess our vessels or bodies in holiness (1Thessalonians 4:3-8; 1Corinthians 6:18-20) Our dressing, our speech, our discussions, our relationships etc. must reflect this attribute. *Why?* Because *God is a Holy God,* He can only inhabit holy places or people (Deuteronomy 23:14)

Our holiness can only be established when our earthly journey has come to an end and His trait in us will be talked about. It is only when we possess this trait of Him that we can claim it and glory will go to him who made us in his image and to his likeness, to know him, love him, serve him on earth and come back to him in his glorious kingdom-heaven. Therefore, if we want to consistently attract and maintain the presence of the Lord God in our life, let's keep our lives holy. *Be mindful of what passes into our heart and thoughts* through the five senses. Remember,*God is holy, therefore we shall be holy!* *PRAYER* *Dear Heavenly Father, help me to be holy just as you are. Cleanse my thoughts and heart and help me possess my body in holiness through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.* Remain blessed and be one -of -non- other (unique) and your beauty (glory) will increase.
