THE SPOT ON A SPIRITUAL GARMENT

Every Saints puts on a spiritual garment given to us the day we got saved. Isa.61:10. Ignorance of this truth has made many to be stripped off of their garment while some are spotted or wrinkled. In today’s study, we shall examine what is spiritual garment, causes of spot or wrinkle and how to stay clothed without spot or wrinkle. This is important because when the Lord will appear, bride without garments will not be allowed in the marriage supper and spotted garment will not be allowed as well. Matt.22:11-14; 2Cor.5:2-4, Rev.3:18, Rev.16:15. The white garment is the righteousness of the saints. Rev.19:8.

1. Causes of spot on a spiritual garment: Disease can be one of the causes of spots on the body, of a man or plant. Disease is something that is very wrong with people’s attitude or way of life. The spiritual disease is the flesh. Jude 23, Gal.5:19-21. Example of David, Moses e.t.c.

2. How to stay clothed without spot or wrinkle:

· Cleansed in the blood of Jesus by faith. Rev.7:14, 1John 1:7, 9, Heb.9:14.

Covering our sins will only destroy our garments. Prov.28:13.

· Walk in the light of God’s word or walking in the Spirit. John 6:63,

Ps.119:11, Rom.17:17, Eph.5:26, Gal.5:16-18;24-26, Rom.8:11-14

· Praying in the Spirit always. Jude 20, 1Thess.5:17, Eph.5:18-20.

In conclusion, the only key in achieving this goal is FELLOWSHIP, because on our own we are weak and helpless Rom.7:14-25 but when we abide in Him, we receive strength. John 15:5-7.
