MESSAGE BY PASTORE COKER

SERMON :

GOD HAS A PLACE FOR YOU IN HIS PLAN

Text: Matthew 22:14

Says for many are invited but few are choosen

Introduction: God ultimate plan is for His kingdom to

be filled with saints, who will rule and reign with Him through out enternity.

God has a place for each one of His children in His kingdom in Matthew 22:14, we are given a sover warning.

MANY ARE CALLED: This is where many people make a tremendous mastake. They know God has spoken to them and called them to be a certain thing, but they believed a life from the devil that says, because you are called, you are automatically choosen. The word clearly states that many are called but few are choosen.

The word called means that you have been invited or appointed. God doesn’t want to perish but for all to come to the saving knoweldge of Jesus Christ. He has invited every person who has ever livied on the earth to become part of His family, you realise of course that not every person get saved.

There are conditions that must be met. If you humble yourself, repent of your sins and accept what Jesus did on the cross that you will be saved by grace through faith, not work least any man should boast Ephs:2 v8-9, only under this conditions God will accept you so that you become choosen.

If you try to get to God any other way, even though you have been invited, you will not be accepted.

The Word Choosen Means, You have been selected. It is one thing to recieve an invitation and another to be accepted.

God has extended the invitation for us to become His children to rule and reign with Christ as part eternal kingdom and to be vessels in His houshold.

If you don’t meet the conditions, you wont be choosen!! God is not mocked whatever you sow, you are going to reap (Gal: 6 v 7). You canot pervert the truth and disobey God’s standerds and expect God to excuse to your disobience.

Watch out for the contunation of this Message!!

May God bless you,

Yours His humble servant.

David
