Chosen and Called

CHOSEN AND CALLED Sunday School July 18

Here is a song:

“A call for loyal soldiers comes to one and all

Soldiers for the conflict

Will you heed the call?

Will you answer quickly?

With a ready cheer?

Will you be enlisted as a volunteer?”

Some of my friends in this community may know this song. It was at First Baptist Church, Ijaiye Abeokuta, that I learnt that song. This was probably in the 70’s.

Look at the “Golden Text” of this week’s Sunday School Lesson

2 Thessalonians 2: 15 “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.”

The crucial thing in that text is to “stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.”

The Everlasting Father can keep you standing in His Son.

The Son overcame all obstacles. His Mind in you will help you to overcome all the dominions of sin, darkness, and the devil.

The topic for this week’s Sunday School Lesson is “Chosen and Called”.

We all need to realize that our Creator-Redeemer is actually CHOSEN AND CALLED for an eternally awesome vocation: to manifest the NATURE and NAME of His Eternal Father, BABA IYE. Will you be His companion in this vocation? Please read 2 Thessalonians 2:13 and Romans 8:33; 9:11; Eph 1:4,5; 1Th 1:4; 2Ti 1:9; 1Pe 1:2 to see the meaning and significance of being chosen and called in Christ..

Look at verse 14 (of our passage – 2 Thessalonians 2):

14 “Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Partakers are chosen and called “to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Is this THE PERSONALITY that you are taking part in?
