RESPONDING TO THE CALL (Bible Study) : Dcn. Bolaji Ososami

CHOSEN VESSELS (2021 VGC DISTRICT CONVOCATION) : REV SAM ABOYEJI

The word “chosen” always produces a sense of belonging and confers a sense of worth and value to the beneficiary of the choice. The important and most significant aspect of the month’s theme assumes that God is the one who is making the choice this time; that He has chosen us – you and me – already in Christ: Ephesians 1:4-6.  The vehicle through which the choice is made is His will: 1 Corinthians 1:1; Ephesians 1:5. We were chosen in Christ before now; chosen to be holy and without blame in love;  chosen to be His sons and daughters. His choice of us expresses His grace. We are accepted before Him in Christ.

It is undeniable that God has chosen those who are believers in Jesus. But why? Is there something special about me that led God to choose me?

CHOSEN TO WIN ( BIBLE STUDY): PST. ROTIMI IDOWU

Surely we ought to carry ourselves, in everything we do, as people who are not part of the  multitude but chosen out of the world, distinguished by sovereign grace, counted among  “His own special people.” (1 Peter 2:9) – “who therefore cannot wallow in the dust or live  like the world’s citizens.”

This discourse will focus on being set apart from the world and yet being an effective part of and influence in the world.

Our ability to see ahead gives the wisdom to live a separated life. (Romans 12:1; 1 John 2:15-17) Our theme text for this year’s Teens’ week is RESTORED from Joel 2:25-27. God has promised to empower our teenagers to see, imagine and plan the future with His divine wisdom. The spirit of God has prepared them for the future; we therefore have no reason to fear as they were born for a time such as this. (Esther 4:14)

Separation is the action or state of moving or being moved apart. Other words used to describe separation are; detachment, severance, uncoupling. The bible uses words like; come out, do not copy or conform, give up and unfriend the world. (Romans 12:1; 1 John 2:15-17)
