★ MY SERMON NOTES
@ Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN)
Area 1, Garki - Abuja
Nigeria
18th May, 2014
* Speaker: Pastor Victor T. Amos
* Topic: God Desires Truth
* Theme: Knowing the Will of God
* Sub-Theme: God's Will for the World
* Text: Proverbs 11:1 → "The LORD hates false scales, but he delights in accurate weights."
★Proverbs 12:22 → "Deceitful speech is reprehensible to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight."
★John 8:39-47
★ The primary purpose for Which Man was created is to love, serve and worship God
*Serving God entails serving humanity
* When you serve those you see, you are doing it unto God
*Worshiping God entails being lost in His presence and to be totally devoted to God and to think about God every time
* In doing all of these things, we must be truthful
* Truthfulness for a child of God is not optional
* Truth is God's nature and we must also conform to that nature
* The language of God's kingdom is truth, love gentleness etc
* The language of the kingdom of Satan is lies and deceit
* Truth is God's main attribute
* Truth is the quality of saying what is factual
* Truth is the absence of lies
* Truth is the virtue that all God's children must have in their lives
* NOTE: It is what you do for Christ that matters
* Every one is prone to lies due to our Adamic nature
* God grants us the grace to always live in truth
* The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth
* Just like sports requires discipline, we must also be commitment to God's call upon our lives with all discipline, commitment and dedication
* NOTE: The day of Judgement is coming when all deceit will be exposed and punished
* Those who oppose God do not live in truth
* The whole world is divided into two:
(a) those who love God and live in His truth; and
(b) those who do not live in God's truth
* God is not requiring from us an impossible thing... You must always stand for the truth regardless of the circumstance
* It takes the grace of God and courage to stand on the truth always
* Only truthful people are trusted
* Note: Christianity is a Commitment
* Our role-model for living a life of truthfulness is Jesus Christ Himself
* Note: Our lives here on earth is all about Christ. When you are constantly conscious of this fact, you will eschew every form of deceit
