Topic: THE CALL TO SALVATION

Memory Verse: Matthew 11:29 – Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Bible Reading: Matthew 11:28-29

Message: There are basically two people involved in a call – the caller and the called. The basic divine ea is ‘the we find in Matthew 11:28-29. Here, God is the called and the called are all men. It is a call unto salvation which is universal. It hinges on John 3:16, a call from the heart of God. Hebrews 9:27 says:

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

To be forewarned is to be forearmed. It is however amazing that some people who are considered wise because their educational attainments prove to be the least wise when it comes to matters relating to God.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. Romans 1:28

A call once went out to the first man — Adam, in Genesis 3:9. This was after his fall into sin. Unfortunately, man mismanaged this opportunity by not accepting responsibility for his sin but rather, decided to blame his wife (Genesis 3:12). Another opportunity came through Jesus Christ the second Adam and our Redeemer. Congratulations to you if you have responded to this call that came through Jesus Christ, according to our Bible reading of today. Having received this call, we are now children of the Most High God. We are now heirs of God and joint heirs with the Lord Jesus Christ (Roman 8:17,1 John 3:1).

Beloved, having answered the call to salvation, we have some obligations to fulfil. We cannot love the world and God at the same time (1 John 2:15-17). We must deliberately separate ourselves from the darkness in the world so that the Almighty God, who made the call can receive us (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

If however, you haven’t heeded God’s call for salvation, I enjoin you to do so right away, as tomorrow may be too late. seek the Lord when He can be found (Isaiah 55:6) and surrender your life to Jesus Christ today.

I pray that God will see us all through to our ultimate salvation in the Kingdom of Heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Points: Thank God for the salvation of your soul. If however, you are not yet saved, accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, then call upon Him to save your soul.
Bible in one year: Proverbs 4

Hymn: I Need Thee Every Hour

Title: I Need Thee Every Hour.
Chorus: I need Thee, Oh, I need Thee;
Ev’ry hour I need Thee!
Oh, bless me now my Saviour;
I come to thee!.

  1. I need Thee every hour

Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

  2. I need thee every hour,

Stay thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh.

  3. I need thee every hour

In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain.

  4. I need Thee every hour 

Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.

  5. I need Thee every hour, 

Most Holy one;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
