Sermon Notes: A Charge That on Himself, He Laid by Charles Nyahucho

THIS Sabbath, we have been blessed with a song from Radius and Meilany called "Blessings." Charles also gave us a sermon and here are the important points for us to meditate upon:

"For we are God's handiwork, created in Jesus Christ to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

 - Ephesians 4:10

We are the product of God's handiwork.

"God saw all that He made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day."

  - Genesis 1:31

As a product is coming out of manufacturer tested and confirmed to be good we also came from God perfectly.

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

 - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

As manufacturers of product like mobile phone, when God created you went through Conceptualization of Fabrication.

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness."

- 2 Timothy 3:16

The Holy Bible is the "Manufacturer's Manual"

- warranty/guarantee are in it for you as a product

-promises are found in the Bible

- we have assurance of salvation in the Bible

- we have instructions when defects are found in us, how to deal with it, in the Bible

As Jesus' disciples, our life is also full of flaws:

weakness

failings

imperfections

mistakes

defects

blemishes

conflicts

death

wars

calamities

etc.

  

WE WERE CREATED FOR GOOD WORKS IN CHRIST, NOT FLOWS OF FLAWS.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, I will give you rest. 

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

- Matthew 11:28-30

Your protection and treasure is a charge that on Himself He laid.

God bless you.
