THEME: WHEN GOD CALLS YOU II


MEMORISE: 

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 

2 Timothy 1:9



READ: 1 Peter 4:7-11  

1 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.


2 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.


3 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.


4 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.



MESSAGE

 

After God has called you to salvation, the next call is to join Him in redeeming the world. Now, you must note that He doesn't only call people from  all walks of life to serve Him in various capacities. For example, He can call some to join Him in the technology field because He want to use technology as a tool to reach the unsaved.


His agenda goes beyond the altar into the everyday lives of people. God is not a Sunday-Sunday God. He is God every single day and so He is using  people to accomplish His agenda daily. Pastors don't reserve the right to be used by God. As far as you are born again - whether you are in business, arts and entertainment or even in fashion, God can use you in that field to fulfil His will. He said in Colossians 3:17: "And whatsoever ye did in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."


Thus, whatever it is that you do, make sure you are doing it in the name of Jesus Christ. When you do something in the name of someone, it means it is not you but the fellow being represent that's doing it. In other words, when God calls you to an industry, you are not to go there to do your will but His. His agenda is already set; all he does when He calls you is to join Him in bringing it to pass. Thus, when you feel Him pulling you to work for Him in a certain field of life, then you must ask Him what His agenda is concerning that thing you are to do. Everything you do must be in line with His agenda. You should also note that you are His representative there and you must not do what He Himself wouldn't.


As reward for answering the call to join Him in His redemptive work in the world, God make sure that all things work together for your good.


And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God. To them who are the called according to  his purpose.

Romans 8:28


Once you are called to His purpose and you answer that call, all things will begin to work together for your good.


KEY POINT

God called you to that industry to do His will; represent Him well.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Lamentation 1-2


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE



HYMN 7: I AM THINE O LORD


1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,


  And it told Thy love to me;


But I long to rise in the arms of faith,


  And be closer drawn to Thee.


 

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,


  To the cross where Thou hast died;


Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,


    To Thy precious, bleeding side.



2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,


  By the pow’r of grace divine;


Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,


  And my will be lost in Thine.



3 O the pure delight of a single hour


  That before Thy throne I spend,


When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,


  I commune as friend with friend!



4 There are depths of love that I yet may know


  Ere Thee face to face I see;


There are heights of joy that I yet may reach


  Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

THEME: WHEN GOD CALLS YOU 1


MEMORISE: 

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 

Ephesians 4:1 



READ: 2 Peter 1:1-11  


1. Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:


2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,



3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:


4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.


5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;


6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;


7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.


8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.


9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.


10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:


11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.



MESSAGE


The call of God is actually a call to Himself. When He calls you, He is saying, "Come closer to me". In Mark 3:14, the Bible says that the first reason he called the disciples was that they should be with Him.


The call of God is two-fold. First, He can call you to leave your sinful ways(Matthew 11:28). This is the very first call that every man will receive. It is a call that brings you close and guarantees an eternity with Him if you answer. Thus, when you hear an altar call, it is God himself calling you to salvation. If you are still committing sin, this is one call that you should not ignore. You don't know the final call that God will make for you to come to Him for salvation.


Many have received God's call to salvation but then, after a while, started to live in sin again. That is not how this call works (Luke 9:62). If you sincerely answer the call to salvation, then holiness would be your lifestyle. If you become saved and then start living a double life where you sin willfully, the Bible says that God would spew you out of His mouth (Revelation 3:16) - in other words, He would reject you completely. 2 Timothy 2:19 says, "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."


If you claim to be a child of God, then you must depart from all iniquity. If you don't depart from iniquity, then God would not recognise you as His child.


But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

1 Peter 2:9


Once God calls you out of darkness into His marvelous light, you are described as a holy nation - not an unholy one. Be perfect, even as the One who called you is perfect (Matt 5:48).


KEY POINT

God's call to salvation is a call to holiness. If you don't live holy, you are rejecting the call.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 51-52


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE



HYMN 7: I AM THINE O LORD


1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,


  And it told Thy love to me;


But I long to rise in the arms of faith,


  And be closer drawn to Thee.

 


Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,


  To the cross where Thou hast died;


Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,


    To Thy precious, bleeding side.



2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,


  By the pow’r of grace divine;


Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,


  And my will be lost in Thine.



3 O the pure delight of a single hour


  That before Thy throne I spend,


When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,


  I commune as friend with friend!



4 There are depths of love that I yet may know


  Ere Thee face to face I see;


There are heights of joy that I yet may reach


  Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

DATE: FRIDAY AUGUST 20TH, 2023.


THEME: FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT VI


MEMORISE: 

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 

John 12:46



READ: Psalms 126:1-3  


1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.


2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.


3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.


MESSAGE


From the story of Bartimaeus, we learn that darkness and sorrow go hand in hand. You don't have to understand philosophy to know that a blind beggar must have been sad. I pray for you: Your eyes will never grow dim, in Jesus' name.


Darkness and sorrow go hand in hand, which means light brings joy. Psalm 16:11 says "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy: at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."


Our Bible reading for today says that when the Lord turned around the people's captivity, their mouths were filled with laughter. That is the nature of Light; He brings laughter. Light stands for joy (John 16:24).


There was this woman whose children we're dying so she visited a white garment prophet for a solution. When she got there, the man's wife gave her a piece of kolanut to eat, claiming that was the solution to her problem. She ate it and at night, found herself in a witchcraft meeting. Before long she had offered up her husband. After about two years, the other witches asked for one of her children - the very children she wanted to protect. She attended one of our programmes in Ilorin and while l was preaching, l noticed a commotion in the congregation. After the service, the ushers told me that the woman's dress caught fire during the preaching. We prayed a simple prayer after which she gave her life to Christ and when she went home, she excreted a dead snake. She was free from that day on. Darkness does not give joy, all it had to offer is sorrow. Proverbs 10:22 says it is only the blessings of God that maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. If the devil is offering you something that seems good, you will not fall for it, in Jesus' name.


If you are truly a child of Light, how can you stay away from Jesus - the Light of the world? Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, "come on to me, all ye that labor and her heavy laden and l will give you rest." If you remain in darkness, you will keep suffering, but when you turn to Jesus Christ, He gives you a new beginning and turns the tide for you. If you really want to be in Light then you should begin to live holy from today. 


KEY POINT


If the devil is offering you something that seems good, that thing is only a bait; his real aim is to bring you sorrow.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 50


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 4: BE GLAD IN THE LORD AND REJOICE


1 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,


All ye that are upright in heart;


And ye that have made him your choice,


Bid sadness and sorrow depart.



Refrain:


Rejoice, rejoice! Be glad in the Lord and rejoice!



2 What though in the conflict for right


Your enemies almost prevail,


God’s armies, just hid from your sight,


Are more than the foes which assail.



3 Though darkness surround you by day,


Your sky by the night be o’ercast,


Let nothing your spirit dismay,


But trust till the danger is past.
