The Cornerstone Apostolic Network, Kaduna, held a power-packed service where Pastor Dan E Dan delivered a thought-provoking message on the topic “Sanctification”, drawn from Judges 13:1.
Pastor Dan emphasized that sometimes God allows His children to go through challenges, not as punishment, but as part of His divine process. He noted that the difference between individuals lies in the unique assignments God has given them, urging believers not to idolize men but to focus on their own consecration.
Highlighting the story of Samson, Pastor Dan reminded the congregation that Samson’s mother was instructed to abstain from certain things in order to protect the divine seed within her. In the same way, believers must guide their consecration with everything within them.
He further cautioned that pleasure can destroy consecration, and that faithfulness—not popularity—is God’s demand. According to him, restrictions from God are sometimes not just for the individual but for the destiny they carry.
Pastor Dan encouraged members to discover their calling, remain faithful to it, and avoid unnecessary pressures that can stunt spiritual growth. He stressed that what a believer carries determines the kind of life they must live, and sometimes God’s dealings may appear illogical but are always purposeful.
He concluded by assuring the church that even in difficult times, God’s presence remains with His people, though it may not always be immediately visible.
