READ: Hebrews 1:7-9
- And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
- But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
- Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Revelation 12:1-17, Micah 6-7
MESSAGE:
You might wonder if God has favourites. Well, I’m glad to let you know that He does and I am one. It is true that John 3:16 tells us that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Likewise, Romans 2:11 states that God is not a respecter of persons. However, the truth in Gods word is that He is sovereign and does as He pleases (Psalms 115:3 ). Romans 9:15 also says:
“I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
God can therefore decide whether to have favourites or not. Believe me, there are a lot of benefits in being one of His favourites. What one should be concerned with is how to be His favourite. To be His favourite, you need to accept His love by saying yes to Jesus. When Jesus becomes your Lord and Saviour, you must take holiness as your lifestyle. Also, you must worship Him at all times, submit to His will totally and serve in His vineyard.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please make it glaring to the whole world that I am Your favourite.
HYMN: What A Friend We Have In Jesus
- What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer
Oh! what peace we often forfeit,
Oh! what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer. - Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrow share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer. - Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
