BE A TRUE CHOSEN

  To be a True Chosen is not by attending the Lord's Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry or belonging to a particular group/department or the other, it is not by putting on apron or fixing Chosen stickers around our properties, it is not by declaring "I AM A CHOSEN" to danger or singing chosen songs , it is not by paying tithes, pledge, vows and offering. To be A CHOSEN is a nature of life. Such person must have had an encounter with Christ. Revelation 1:5; 2 Corinthians 5:17. Something must have left such person and another thing possess him, being a True Chosen is beyond going to church and having all the church materials in our possession.

SUBHEADING TO CONSIDER

1. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A TRUE CHOSEN EXPLAINED.

ABUNDANT YOUTHS LISTENING TO MESSAGE

     The True Chosen has what it takes to be a CHOSEN. They are called Chosen not because of the physical church building but because they are the "SPIRITUAL BUILDING" of Christ 1 Peter 2:5. They have been redeemed and washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:13-14 and as a result, they are being made holy before the Lord. Ephesians 5:9, they are sanctified and pure before their creator 2 Timothy 1:9 this is reason why they are called special people before God. Deuteronomy 14:2. They have all it takes to offer service to God 1 Peter 1:2. When you see them, you will behold God and his nature of holiness, righteousness, meekness, forgiveness, mercy, love, kindness and goodness. Philippians 2:4-10. They are no longer with the world even though they live in the world. John 17:16-19. All that matters to them is how to please their Master, the creator of the universe. John 8:29. A True Chosen's identity cannot be hidden because he or she is the light of the world. Matthew 5:13-16; Philippians 2:15. The question now is,  ARE YOU A TRUE CHOSEN?.

2. GOD'S EXPECTATIONS TOWARDS THE TRUE CHOSEN AND THE REWARD.

         As a "CHOSEN INDEED", you should know what God expect from you and not what your flesh, friends and the world expect. You are called to be a special person before God. Exodus 19:5-6. To be holy and to maintain righteousness in all areas of life. 1 Peter 1:15-16; 2:9. so , this is an opportunity for you to make your God happy, pleased and to stand for Him and as well promote His heart desire John 8:29. Also, it is a time for you to shun sin, unrighteousness and worldliness. We are not to be entangled with sin even in this festival period 2 Timothy 2:4; 1 John 2:15-17. God expect us to stand out as a True Chosen Youth. We should not indulge in corruptions such as attachment, weavons, painting, independent wears, sightseeing, drinking of alcohol and smoking. Do not allow X- mas to pass through you, rather pass through x-mas. Make God happy and keep to righteousness, keep your garment spotless and undefiled Revelation 14:4-5. God will forever remember you and will open a book of rememberance for you. Malachi 3:16-18.
