THE CHOSEN OF THE LORD (5)

Text: Jonah 1: 5-16

INTRODUCTION:

In the last part of this series, we looked into some spiritual virtues

as “Fruits of the Spirit” and fruit-bearing, the secret of answered

prayers.

Today, as we continue in our study, may the Almighty God bless

us richly through His word in Jesus Name.

1. THE CHOSEN AS CHANNELS OF PROMISE

Believers in Christ (Israel) had been chosen by God as his

channels to carry out the promises of redemption. God’s grace,

salvation, protection, goodness and blessings given to His faithful

people in love are not just to one nation (Israel) but to the whole

human race.

Isa. 41:8-11, Gen. 17:7-8, Ps. 135:4, Deut. 7:6-9, Acts 2:39, Joel

2:32, Gal. 3:14, Ep. 3:6, I Jn. 2:5, 2 Cor. 1:20.

2. THE CHOSEN AS VICTORS AND NOT THE VANQUISHED

God has chosen His People to be winners in the battles of life and

not failures or the defeated. Because Jesus Christ our Lord and

Saviour won, we must also win.

I Cor. 15:57, I Jn. 5:4-5, Mt. 4:1-11, Col. 2:14-15, Lk. 10:19, Rev.

12:11, Rm. 8:37-39, Ph. 4:13, Rm. 8:31.
