Central to God's character is the quality of holiness. Incidentally, most modern preachers tend to avoid preaching it, even, Christians now see it as vague, outdated and inconsistent with present day realities. Most preachers are more obsessed with prosperity sermons which their audience are delighted in. Christianity without righteousness and holiness is like a broken exotic wine bottle. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matt.7:32). Incidentally, most Christians are seeking first worldly things above eternal things. The reason for the existence of poverty, barrenness, wretchedness, sickness and death in churches is because holiness is completely lost. Sadly, Satan has stolen holiness in present-day churches and stripped them naked. Equally sad is the fact that most Christians have surrendered their birthright to Mamoon of money. Many preachers now tell their congregants to do what they say and not what they do. Churches have disconnected themselves from their source of strength after having traded away holiness for mundane things; they now become ineffectual When, we look closely unto Christ; we get a true picture of what holiness entails and how far we appear below r his standard and areas we need to make amends. Holiness is not a destination but a journey. Holiness is the unredeemable standard of God for His children. As God's people; holiness should be our nature and righteousness our lifestyle. Holiness means doing what God wants us to do and avoid those things He hates. It is not suppression of sins but an inner transformation to be Christ-like. The cry of God to this morally depraved world and his tumor He has been nursing about the church is, "Every second, my heart bleeds seeing atrocities in the world. Therefore, my children embrace the tenants of Holiness". That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word. That He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. (Eph.5:26-27). Whenever, a Christian says in public, "I am born -again child of God", most unbelievers tend to wink. In the time past, most blue-chip companies entertained recommendation of applicants from church leaders. These days, church leaders are finding it extremely difficult to vouch for even their pastors! It goes to show how immorality has eaten deep into the fabric of the society and the church which Christ ransomed with His precious blood. This book teaches the fundamentals of holiness and the practical steps to attain it. All believers that are thirsty for holiness will find this book; an indispensable treasure
