The Necessity Of Rites Of Holiness
By
Apostle James De Zealot
Why The Apostles Were Performing Great Signs And Wonders
Apostle James: Another point you people here in this DivineBase Ministry, have to know about the Apostles is this: they observed the rites of holiness, and their rites of holiness were in diverse ways.
What does it mean for a person to keep the rites of holiness?
The Head: That is what will make his radiance move forward, to move from radiance to radiance. It will also make his journey successful, and make him to do his work very well.
Apostle James: Yourself answered accurately.
The Head: In the Holy Book, we have written that the rites of holiness are the safe and secure pathways to blessings, favours, success and prosperity.
The laws are the high ways to your success and prosperity.
The rites of holiness are the safe and secure pathways to your blessings and favours.
Holiness
Is Power
Apostle James: Son of man, if the Apostles were not keeping the rites of holiness, how do you think that the Saints from heaven would be visiting us?
And the Angels delivering messages to them?
How do you think that spiritual vibration will be becoming more radiant, increasing?
How do you think that the power of the Holy Spirit will come into the Apostles, Disciples and Saints?
You people read that, on many occasions, when the Holy Spirit came and entered Apostle Philip, and led him away. Apostle Philip did not know what was inside him. Instead, he saw himself doing such great works. If Apostle Philip was not keeping the rites of holiness, the Holy Spirit would not be saving people through him.
The Head: That is true.
Apostle James: Son of man, you people read that the cloth, dress of St Paul De Evangelist was healing sickness?
The Head: Yes.
Apostle James: If St Paul De Evangelist was not keeping the rites of holiness, his dress could not have healed sickness. The Holy Spirit entered into his body and was doing the work. And what was not clean cannot enter in.
You read that the woman of the issue of blood secretly touched the garment of Jesus Christ?
The Head: Yes.
Apostle James: When she hid herself to do so, Jesus Christ was absent-minded. He did not see her.
Is it true?
The Head: It is true.
Apostle James: But the Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ saw her. When she was about to touch Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit left, departed.
Son of man, if Jesus Christ were not keeping the rites of holiness, He would not have noticed the healing that took place. Because something unholy was coming close to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit left.
Tel the children of God,
holiness is power; and law of God is life.
But humanity do not understand.
They do not even want to know.
The Head: That is true.
Bad
Attitude To Holiness
Apostle James: The children of God keep the rites of holiness with laziness. Some keep the rites of holiness today, and will not do so tomorrow. Such people say, “God the Father understands. Next tomorrow, I will start keeping the rites of holiness.”
Parable
Of The Insufficient Rope
Apostle James: Son of man, the children of God forget that when a long rope is cut, can it become a complete length again (o zugh ikechite ihe)?
The Head: No. The rope is no longer perfect to do its work.
Apostle James: The rope cannot be used to tie something again, or it will be short. To some cut ropes, you have to add some other rope to make to them, for you to be able to use them to tie something.
The Head: On many occasions, it will no longer be enough for the intended purpose.
Apostle James: Or it becomes short. Or, and it will need another rope to be added, to support the cut rope. Even so it is when somebody keeps the rites of holiness, for some time and then stops doing so (gbaa brake).
Will the person expect that when he stopped keeping the rites of holiness, that the Holy Spirit will still be there waiting for him?
Enabling
Powers To The Children Of God
Apostle James: Son of man, that is why ourselves have spread the holy water, in spirit. A holy spirit, let the children of God allow Him to come in, by keeping themselves holy and by keeping the laws of God.
Benefits
And Consequences
Apostle James: Son of man, the people who do not keep themselves holy, and the people who the not keep the laws, they are still the same thing. They are still at the same line, level, with the people who are ignorant of the laws.
But the people who keep themselves holy and keep the laws are the people who grow in spirit and become radiant.
Rites of holiness are of various types.
Rites of holiness are many.
If you keep the rites of holiness, you have known how to keep yourself holy because of God. And when God gives you guidelines (ntuzi aka), you have to follow it. That is why the Angels come to the person and make him radiant.
If a person does not keep the laws of God, is it what the Angels tell him that he will do?
The Head: No.
Apostle James: This is because what the Angels deliver as messages and what God says are the same. It is the same Holy Spirit that is still working. The children of God have to observe the rites of holiness. They have to take it very very serious. The children of God do forget, but you have to tell them to keep the rites of holiness.
Irrelevant
Excuses
Apostle James: They would complain, saying:
“I do not have the strength to observe the rites of holiness.”
“I do have time.”
“I do not have the money to keep the rites of holiness.”
“The things I will use to observe the rites of holiness are not available.”
Son of man, what they say shall be true,
but they want the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is a spirit that is holy.
You want the Holy Spirit,
but you do not keep the rites of holiness.
You want the Saints,
but you do keep yourself holy.
Rites of holiness is both good and compulsory,
for a person to succeed and prosper in life.
Son of man, it shall not be so possible and easy for the people, who do not keep the rites of holiness. Even if the person prays from today to tomorrow’s evening, there is nothing that shall make the Holy Spirit to come in. Son of man, even if the person continues praying to see the Angels, he shall not see them.
Keep your eyes holy.
Keep your hairs holy.
Keep your mouth holy.
Keep your tongue holy.
Keep your hands holy.
Keep all your body holy, because all of them have different spiritual vibrations; they have different spiritual connections and have different spiritual benefits.
Son of man, what did Apostle Philip use to perform great signs and wonders?
It is the power of the word. It is called the power in the tongue. If the owner of the tongue does not keep his mouth holy, son of man, will the Holy Spirit come in to take position, to do work?
The Head: No.
Apostle James: Son of man, it remains those people who do not know that rites of holiness are observed for the eye, for the nose, and for the mouth. All the parts of the whole body must be holy.
It
Is Finished
Apostle James: Son of man, myself will stop here today.
